lol @ Robles

Redmonds scored & hit the post twice now for Norwich. Fair play to the lad, great talent.

I reckon Everton can do this

As long as the old boys club and media will peddle the 'expectations' line then others will swallow it. Ashley is still our saviour in the eyes of many and Pardew a hard done by young British coach. One of the presenters on talksport just two days back, we're getting what we deserve as we got rid of Pardew. We started it all apparently. No idea which plank said it, stated it as matter of fact. Only got ourselves to blame obviously. Twat.

Was a shame when he actually did well the week before. I liked the part where he tried to take a player on for no reason, obviously lost the ball. Then just stood there holding him from behind for about half an hour because he was having a hard time fouling him quickly

To be honest he's done us a service just by joining us. We are the side who Rafa Benitez joined after Real Madrid, other managers will know of us now. He just gave us some of the status back that Ashley has thrown away.

Thought it was nuts how little we put crosses in. The amount Sissoko, Perez etc were pissing about with it on the touchline. The one time we got the ball in, he chested it down with ease & laid it off to wijnaldum for a chance. Another header he put barely wide. We had atleast 5+ more chances to cross it in that we didnt bother with. Sissoko trying to chip & hurdle a defender only to put it out for a goal kick was the most laughable. Ridiculous.

Players have no drive without the fans. As was mentioned, Pardews time wasting actually kicked us on a bit last week. Away from home, they dont believe they'll win.

Kevin Nolan finishes that chance he missed when through on goal. Lobs the keeper or scuffs it under him. You have to be finishing better than Kevin Nolan for the amount we spent.

Basically Mitrovic & Doumbia weren't good enough. The lack of striker was the issue, left reliant on a poor underperforming Cisse for the nth season in a row.

He's done f*** all at Southampton. Knew someone would say that. You cannot see any different variables in regards to each of those scenarios?

Should have got Charlie Austin

Pathetic really, but we knew it would happen. Newcastle all over, cant score against the bottom side.

Need to step it up a level here

Goal Chelsea

COME ON LADS

This wont be an easy game, we rarely make them easy. Away from home too, good luck to us.

Olsson looks their best player really. Strange that hes not using Naismith atall also. Much harder for them after today.

Lovely pass by Rooney, no where near good enough for England based on the overall performance.

How hard is it to cross the ball like. Just put it in. Valencia to carrick, to mata, to lingaard, back to carrick, to herrera, to carrick, to valencia, to carrick, to carrick, to carrick. Attempt a through ball, back to carrick.

Whys he not included Rashford sorry?

Wow leicester, it actually happened. Well done to them, brilliant.

Lot of pressure on them in that situation i think is the point being made.

Time wasting from minute one. Why would you? What a pathetic way to try to get points, let alone against a former club. As Townsend said, he set them out to relegate us. Loved them rushing to take their goalkicks & throw ins at the end.

Agendas man. I think some people view a left back as a Roberto Carlos or Ashley Cole type. Yes that's lovely but players with forward flair and defensive nous are rarer than hens teeth. Most have one or the other. Dummett is an excellent defender and one of the few good attitudes in our squad. Its not agendas, you're both ignoring that the entire defense have been changed since he came back obviously. Lascelles has been key, Mbemba has been good & Anita has been top aswell. Dummett is decent generally, but chances fall his side. Thats my summation.
