Was poor on the first goal, but Coloccini rushing off to challenge Dzeko was a far more heinous crime IMO.

Colback was a million miles better than him today and arguably just as positive, despite his deeper role.

He wasn't as bad as he has been at his worst, but he was one of the poorer ones out there today. Frustrating as fuck.

The way he ran to challenge Dzeko despite Williamson already being in close attention was fucking shocking. Other than that, he played really well, but it was such a basic shitty error and it's yet another one we can add to the list.

Would have scored without the deflection. Excellent cameo.

Glad he got his debut but his ball retention looks like it needs work. Pardew will no doubt completely coach the impetus out of him.

Krul - 7 - learn to kick please Janmaat - 6.5 - mixed bag, but looks like a player Williamson - 7 - okay Coloccini - 6.5 - very good, but poor on the first goal Dummett - 6 - bang average as per Anita - 6 - disappointing in the main Colback - 7 - impressive, industrious, economical with the ball Gouffran - 6.5 - best game in ages but so painfully average on the ball Sissoko - 5 - frustrating, erratic Cabella - 7.5 - pick of the bunch. Will be a great signing Riviere - 6 - flashes of inspiration, good work rate Obertan - 6 - okay Aarons - 5.5 - few glimpses but ball retention poor Ayoze - 6.5 - nice cameo and unlucky not to score Let's not get carried away, was a decent performance but we didn't bother attacking til the final 15 minutes and we barely threatened the goal bar Perez's shot. All in all, hard to be massively pissed off at this result, a few positives, but nothing to get excited about as per.

Man City -1 @ 13/8 Printing money.

The photographer was probably some slightly sleazy chain-smoking bloke with a ponytail, who's career peaked when he took the photos at a Big Brother runner up's wedding. £50 for the lot and all the tea he can drink, think of the savings.

No room for Conor Newton in the Rotherham side. Told yous Evans was a fucking cunt.

Just when you were feeling sleepy... here comes the most charismatic man on telly: it's Manish! No Claridge, I might watch. Do like Leroy too.

Rio unable to keep himself with man, chester.

Thought it was Bas Savage before I clicked.

Energetic, opinionated Dutchman in being more entertaining than dour mainstay shocker.

soft as shite pen. Excellent

Cattermole thought it was someone's ankle, I think. Got loads of power on it.

That Schlupp shot.

New MOTD titles!

A pathetic, a gay, 13 points. With Sturridge, Cahill, Lovren, Mignolet, Sissoko and Hazard (capt) still to go, like.

Carragher trying to interview players ffs

Debuchy assist the only thing positive today.

Completely undeserved, that. They've been fucking shite.

Is it just me or has this game been totally unremarkable in almost every way?

Great header.
