I genuinely forgot or put out of my mind that Butt scored in this game

ah good memories

same here, Tottis out isn't he?

Honestly Bale did sweet fuck all which considering full back is the weakest point of our side atm (until Santon is proven) says a lot

I thought he was dominated massively not only by Tiote but Cabaye too, in fact their whole midfield was dominated by our two guys in the middle, none more so than Parker. Parker I'd agree with but personally I thought Livermoore held his own, played his part in the penalty incident too maybe I'm overblowing it but I was impressed

he's in the side on merit atm other than a shaky game at QPR and Arsenal he's been solid to good in every other game

bit aimless with his kicks occasionally but other than that solid

also Livermoore for them was excellent I thought, 1st real good look at him and he impressed me

Part 1 no but the England bit is hardly unreasonable considering the lack of options of English managers doing well atm

clever play by Ade tbh strikers need to know when to lure in a stupid tackle like that to help their side

he's a good manager which actually correlates with what I thought of him before we learned he was going to be our manager, he was one of the ones I liked for some reason

I genuinely think he'd walk into any side in the league he's that good (well except Stoke, too much flair for them) what a guy

2 footed player

so do I, wouldn't say he was terrible at all, brought some attacking intent to the side in the 1st half when we didn't have much at all and tracked back reasonably well

I thought so too got into great positions but tried a bit too hard to do everything himself when there were men available for the pass

7-1 vs spurs in 96 on ESPN classic now

wasn't terrible but not great either

some match time will sort out any issues

Brunt Larson and Ba to pay off and rescue my teams weekend

Ginola he's a magnificent pundit miles better than Redknapp

100% right decision

wouldn't blame him a whole lot for the penalty shouldn't have been put in the situation by the stupid give away of the ball in a dangerous position

anyway ratings Krul 6.5 no chance with either goal but general good performance Simpson 5 meh Saylor 6 stupid for the pen but I'd put more blame on the ball being given away in front of him Colo 7 overall good but partly responsible for pen conceded Raylor 7 is he actually a good defender underneath it all? excellent delivery from free kicks too Obertan 6 Some good some bad Tiote 7 Rock in midfield Cabaye 6 not at his best Jonas 8 torments full backs when he's in this kind of mood Best 6 held up the ball well but not much else Ba 7 Good finish HBA 7 created some openings in attack Shola 8 Magnificent Santon 7 Looked good in his cameo Pardew 7 got his subs right and changed tactics a bit too to help us also may I say the ref was excellent today

good performance again, bit unlucky to be subbed but considering what happened with his replacement I don't think he can complain

very impressed with him, seems to be growing into the left back role very quickly and maybe because he has to think a little because its not the right side for him thats improved him as a defender
