Jayson

Id go: Harper 6 - No action R Taylor 7 - Pretty decent performance, great cross for 2nd. S Taylor 7 - Saved us a couple of times, need him to stay. Coloccini 7 - Dodgy moments in first half, looked far more settled after that. Decent passer generally. Enrique 9 - Been consistantly good for a while for me, great display again. Perfect cross & willingness to get fowards. Barton 8 - Kept quieter first half, but linked up very well the 2nd & great corners. Was a big part of us knocking it around so easily also. Nolan 7 - Brilliant determination for the 2nd, great throughball first half. Just needs to improve fitness. Smith 7 - Some dodgy tackles, needs to not be so rash...got around well though. Did well to put pressure on them. Jonas 7 - So much goes through him. Looks far more effective when he cuts inside and uses his right...helps us a lot though. Carrol 7 - Set up one of Sholas chances very well. Many nice touches, decent movement to. Shola 9 - Did what was asked, put the ball in the net. He wont get a 10 because outside of his finishing...well...but a good hatrick. Dont think anyone deserved anything less than a 7 outside of harper really. They were all better than a bit above average.

Need this lad back soon if we're to play like that again. Had a part in setting up the last two goals, was knocking around the ball v nicely second half in general to. Think he links it all together.

Glad the lad proved us all wrong. Thats what its all about...think a few more of us will want him starting next week now

Seriously hope not, we shouldnt sell anymore players that are making the first team. Not one. Taylor was important several times today

Would be a massive blow to us if it was serious :/ If he's gonna play on the wing, he might as well stay injured. Was f***ing gash out there today. You insane ??

Nolan just suggesting that Hughton & calderwood would be good men to take us fowards in post match interview ??

Shola devoting the goals to Sir bobby

Great 2nd half performance, great times for Shola. Worried about Bartons injury. Think hes the one that ties it all together...cant believe we always get these kind of key injurys.

Enriques a bit fast

Think Barton getting a bad injury is a pretty severe negative from this match tbh We wont play like this again without him

Fucking injuries man. We need Barton, this shit always screws us.

Barton injured ?? Just our luck ffs, he best not be out ages now. Jesus christ.

Nolans out of it, looks injured

These are some dodgy subs tho, Geremi & Xisco. Lucky we're winning

Someone predicted Ameobi was gonna get a hattrick in the other thread. James i think

Come on shola lad we're all behind you

PENALTY GO ON SHOLA LOLOLOL

We're making up for about 38 odd games of shite crossing in one match

Cant believe Sholas on for a hattrick Shows the dif confidence makes to our passing also. Fair enough its champ opposition. But the movement this 2nd half has been the best ive seen in a long long while

And the rest................... And the rest ?? The passing there building up to that was great. We did nothing like that last year

That was the best piece of play ive seen us make in a fucking year or so

OMFG YOU BEAUTY

Is nolan still unfit or what. Cant believe he's 26

shoulda passed man. Im amazed he can actually even strike a ball like that
