No way, a gutless second half would've been far worse.

That's fucking impeccable. What a hit.

Three fk's from Santon in the last two games, three have hit the wall

What makes a good beard to you?

The front three setup clearly isn't working. Might as well try and make Baines try and defend with HBA, or hopefully catch him out.

Santon looking really poor, play the ball ffs

Kinnear can't even sit correctly without looking like a twat. Hope he has fun eating out his fingers.

Been waiting for this

Poor from Krul, not sure what's happened to him recently

Welp

NBC has HBA-Remy-Gouffran

What's he saying? just asked him about his goal at Goodison and he smiled his little boy smile and said "very good memory." Might've been more to it, only caught like 20 seconds.

Pardew doesn't seem to have. Remy and HBA have barely swapped in their few games together.

Going to need Tiote to help Debuchy out a lot, and tbf he has played well in his sub appearances/against Leeds.

Wonder how that midfield is going to be setup. not sure Pardew realizes we can play 3 without one of them having to be an AM. No Marveaux either.

Woah, didn't expect that. Quite relieved now.

Came across as a decent guy on that Liverpool documentary series, tbh. I only watched one and a half, maybe two episodes, but I thought he was kind of odd from that sample size. Think he's a good manager, even if he's making some bizarre team decisions right now. I assume that will change when Johnson is fit.

Rodgers strikes me as a genuine weirdo

De Bruyne apparently training with Chelsea's reserves, what a waste

There doesn't seem to be anything on it despite that small quote. I doubt there's much in it. The article in the chronicle from two days ago said we have no fresh injuries.

SanToon gets it. At least one person understands context, that's good enough. No ffs, no one has once called him exceptional

I preferred his no shots on target. Always a good stat to maintain when you're playing lone forward. At least his passing and link up play was good...Oh wait...he had the worst pass completion rate of all 20 outfield players and even Mignolet had a better one than him. Big lad though so fair play to him on that. He's done well there. What stats are you looking at? Because they're wrong.

I think it's also patriotism, of a higher level than exists here. I personally could not give a fuck if England do well, I hate most of the team, and have no affiliation to them. Difference is I was born in newcastle and the only team I care about is NUFC. If one of my mates played for Sunderland I'd want him to fail. That's just how it is. It's completely different for dem forrins, who don't have that innate connection to the club IMO. I don't think it's a bad thing, just different I tried to say the same thing multiple times after Altidore was signed by Sunderland. We come from a different nation and continent, it's not surprising we approach football differently. I hate Sunderland, truly hate them, but I love the US national team more. Wanting one player to succeed for our sake does not mean we want the club to do well. As in Claudio Reyna? Who played 28 league games in 3 years? His European career was successful, not just in England, where he played well.

No one's saying we would celebrate if he scored against us ffs, none of us would. That's the worst case scenario. Besides, Rooney is an established, successful player, Altidore isn't, we want him to succeed because it's important for our national team.
