If you're going to have one of your three central midfielders in the Anita mould (keeps side ticking over, great energy/pressing, mobile, excellent short passing, distribution, not overly physical but a fair tackler, little to no attacking impetus) then at least one of the other ones has to have a very good range of long passing and an eye for the 'killer/key pass', even from deep. Tiote ticks the boxes with strength, tenacity, tackling and the ability to generally spoil if required, but doesn't fulfil that role absolutely in the slightest. That role was filled by Cabaye, and now it's fucking Dan Gosling. Go figure.

Agree like. It's not like he's been unlucky, been denied by class keeping, dodgy decisions or the woodwork. He's offered absolutely bot all goal threat whatsoever. Genuinely struggle to think of a player with weaker shot power who's worn our shirt in my lifetime. I did think Lovenkrands but then I remember that goal away at Blackpool; LDJ would have hit his usual bobbled passback in the vague direction of the goal.

171/210.

Funny how when the rest of the team are doing shite, he never manages to drop to their level. He's an absolute class act this lad, would be gutted if he left.

Surely the sensible thing to do would be to loan Bigi out for a season and take a look at Abeid this coming season? Or, new contract for Gosling and sell the pair of them. Too young, not enuff fret.

It's a good name.

Was that Spencer from Phoenix Nights in the Liverpool end?

Anyone who thinks Pulis = Pardew needs to watch this match back and have a serious think, like. Say want you want about the cap-wearing daytripper but he's got this mob giving a shit.

I reckon Bolasie could probably catch pigeons.

If I remember rightly it wasn't a trophy, but more a spare bathroom floor tile from a builders yard with some shite about the Intertwotits Cup scrawled over it.

Souness actually had some genuine injury problems too. Unlike the 'ten senior players' Pardew was missing the other week, which probably included Ba, Cabaye, Carroll, Kuqi, Barry Venison and Fumaca.

Sounds more like science is spying on him to me.

3-0 win for Merseyside Red.

Ugh, as if that cunt had to score. Piss off.

Ugh. Spawny shit chapped lipped cunt wanker.

Taylor for Anita

How did Gunnarsson not score!?

Fucks sake man Tim

Howay Kenwyne

Can hear the Pardew out chanting pretty clearly. About fucking time, like.

Bellers will get a goal. Interested to see how Haidara gets on.

That overhit pass from Gouffran :lol:

Who's the bloke with the stick on mutton chops and the trilby in the Cardiff end?

Thank fuck that didn't go in.

Fuck off Shola.
