Geordie Ahmed

I didn't think he was particularly bad today, that was pretty much what I see from him every week.

Aye, thought it was a typical Colback performance, lots of running around BUT constantly out of position and making boring/safe passes

Impressed enough with him, think he will develop into a top class player. The problem today was the acres of space between him and our supporting midfielders, the gap was too big and he was left with too much to do

Think he will thrive against most teams where we can have decent amount of possession

That performance today was not unusual, that's standard for Colback BUT the occasional blocks and hard running seems to impress people

He needs to be dropped BUT sadly McClaren seems to rate him so think we are stuck with him stinking the midfield

Depay started well against him BUT after that Mbemba had him  sorted

He played well and put his body in the way as he does. So relieved when he didn't manage to punch the ball away from Hernadez when Krul saved. It was a typical Taylor moment.

was he trying to punch it ? thought his arms were by his side, torpedo style.

I thought he was trying to head it

Get in Mahrez

Urgh Palace winning

Should bring Aarons on, need something on the counter

Save, hopefully we can hang on, would be cruel to concede now

Finally

No doubt Colback will play the full 90 mins whilst Anita will get taken off

Obertan so shit, also Colback has been rubbish

Anita having a relatively decent game

Obertan is useless

Great header, unlucky

Midfield is nowhere to be seen

Only a matter of time before they score

Would be typical, we "need" to balance the books

 

I'm a big fan of Sissoko, think he will thrive with the players we have and the non-moronic coaching setup we have now. If he was sold we would miss his drive

What position do you have him playing ?

I'd like to see him play centrally, either in an advanced position or slightly deeper BUT even on the right he is a threat and drives us forward

Would be typical, we "need" to balance the books

I'm a big fan of Sissoko, think he will thrive with the players we have and the non-moronic coaching setup we have now. If he was sold we would miss his drive

Colback more often than not is nowhere to be seen, he certainly does not protect the back four. Although I don't think Anita does a great job of it either BUT it's certainly better than Colback

Pique sent off

Assist from Suarez was lush

3 more to get

Messi scores

The jammy bastards are blatantly going to equalise

Wenger needs to take Coquelin off
