Scott Brown if Celtic would sell him.

If Rennie had the brain capacity to book Eustace in the first place for that train wreck of a tackle I doubt Emre would have retaliated tbh. Still, doesn't excuse the tackle.

Cacapa you legend!

Elbow on Eustace. Absolute stupidity.

1-0!

Sounds like Owen just went close.

I'd really like Houllier as manager - he knows the French market as well as anybody and offers a wealth of experience and class to the team.

Would like to see - Given Carr Cacapa Taylor Enrique Lua Lua Emre Zog Duff Owen Viduka

I feel like a numpty now Anyway, going for a comfortable 3-0.

Don't think Martins is available?

Nah he's not on it. Lawro and Alan Hansen instead.

We'll recover from this. 2 home games next against Stoke and Bolton are the perfect opportunity to get back on track. As for today, good first half performance but went completely tits up in the second.

Smith sent off.

Its the manner. They're not beating us out of good play, its just us pushing the self destruct button. again, what were you expecting? we held on well till half time, could have been 1-0 up even. thats as big a plus as this defeat is a negative. Agree. Been satisfied so far with our defending for the most part and our possessive play.

Viduka coming on.

Little harsh I think. Tight angle with a defender on his back with Van Der Sar recovering.

Better play there!

Awful defending. Was a shame, we were doing well until that.

Still, we can get back into this.

Absolutely ridiculous. No way was that a freekick.

brilliant save from shay

don't think you can blame cacapa for that... was no cover for enrique down the left.

we're hanging in there...need more fire power tho - bring smith off and stick viduka alongside owen in the second half imo

bollocks was that a pen when ronaldo can't even take the free kick in the right place

good tackle by cacapa.
