Hat-trick for Messi, simply too good

Messi, legend

Class goal in the Ajax-Heerenveen match

Raylor over Anita is a joke BUT typical of Pardew

Raylor is a shit player, like the guy and credit to him for getting back from the injuries BUT he shouldn't be at the club let alone start ahead of a far superior footballer

Class, chuffed he is playing really well

Playing alongside Colback further highlights how good he is because he is involved all the time whilst Colback is a passenger with the odd decent moment

Class goal that

Yaya is back

What a player

Aarons lad

The thing about Anita is that people assume he has another gear that he's not showing because of Pardew.

 

I'm sure he'd be slightly better under a vaguely competent manager just like every other player, but I think we've seen enough now to decide that what we see is probably what he is: a thoroughly average Premiership midfielder.

He will never excel under Pardew, that much is clear since his style of play is completely at odds with Pardew

Anita's downside is that he isn't versatile, if the system is archaic and turgid you won't ever see the best of him

Think he would be class at Southampton or Swansea

People that don't rate Anita or don't know what he does do not have a clue about football

 

I've heard he keeps us ticking. We were flying in the first half.

May come as a shock to you BUT players can have bad games

People that don't rate Anita or don't know what he does do not have a clue about football

Disagree, I'm a fan of his but he's been s**** after first few games.

I'm not saying he had a good game, just find the question about what he offers daft

People that don't rate Anita or don't know what he does do not have a clue about football

Delighted he played well, he has his flaws (who doesn't) BUT he offers us a lot and drives us forward

I'm glad he is gotten away, playing for Pardew has put his career back a bit BUT it looks well back on track now, playing for a quality team and manager

I think we will beat Leicester and the egotistical prick will revel in it BUT he is s*** and another run of games without wins won't be too far away

Either Spurs, Liverpool, West Brom (might nick something from this match) or the run at the end of December

Cisse man, Pardew played a huge part in ruining his confidence and here he is bailing the guy out

He is keeping Anita out of the team >>

I think it's disgraceful that these players can be so blatant about protecting their own position this way. We are bottom of the league and are getting battered left right and centre, and this guy knows Pardew is a mess. Just looking out for his own interests. It's terrible.

Well he is hardly going to have a go at the manager, it's only natural for him to defend Pardew especially as he has benefited from him being manager

It's the former players defending him that I find absurd, they have no reason (that we know of) to defend Pardew

Means nowt cos the Italian is awful and our league is geet mint

Big chance missed by Sandro to equalise

3-2, decent finish from Neymar

Neymar goal

PSG have controlled the second half, deserved goal

Ouch for Barca
