Second yellow.

1-1.

Yep, we should be playing this game at home. Aye, we should have been playing Brazil at SJP now.

My river just switched channel to another match involving some yellow team and a b&w team. I celebrated the immediate goal for a good 5 seconds before realizing it wasn't us.

Wait till he scores a 94th minute winner against the Mackems.

FYP

Indeed. Keeping possession very nicely but it's going nowhere. Surely a personnel issue though? put Hatem and Cabaye in this system instead of Vuckic and Obertan and i don't see it being a problem. It would improve the team, but a different formation would improve the team more imo. Agreed 4-3-3 is the way to go, but Pardew seems against it for some reason. It can't just be because of Ba can it? Ba, and the fact that we're playing a different set of wingers (Jonas and Obertan instead of Ba and Ben Arfa, who are more of forwards than wingers really)

Pards is trying to play Ba more centrally imo, hence the two up top.

I agree that Haris needs to get into the game but I think I'd put him behind Cisse. He played brill in that role v West Brom home iirc. Tiote Jonas Obertan Vuckic Ba Cisse

Still horse s***. Fast as a horse, s*** in other aspects.

Need to work on those set plays.

Those annoying boxes don't seem to be visible when tucked in.

Possibly no Cabaye or Hatem for Tottenham, Chelsea and the European game?

Wish I could do one with Prem letters but European numbers.

Is that even a kit ffs?

I hope so, like the numbers.

He's jinxed this like.

Yes, not an appetizing bunch indeed. But I'm just saying that, on paper, our RB position seems to be the best covered if we get hit with injury or suspension there. Better there than in the CB or forward positions imo. I think this deal's still in with a shout, Debuchy seemed really set on going and it shows with those quotes. If not, the fallback seems to be Anita with Santon moving to RB.

Just seen the collapse now. Sigh, it felt as if we missed an open goal at first glance but really, 6m for an international fullback coming from the back of a good major tournament leads to an inevitable conclusion, given the club president he works with. Disappointing, but we can live without a new RB, as we've got perch, Simpson, raylor and santon who could play there. Let's move on now, focus on getting a forward and CB, and I think it's still a good window. On a side note, we really should drop the Carroll bid and use the money to get a striker and maybe improve this debuchy bid. Gonna be hard now with that statement from Lille though.

Pretty much so, suddenly turned it to a 2v1 scenario for Lille. Hopefully I can wake up to some good news on this Howay Lille!

This. Anyways, great to hear it's the opposite of what I expected

Calling goal kick "goalie's kick".

I didn't think so, i thought we sat back and gave up a lot of possession in some games away from home, which bugged me to be honest. I'm not arguing for or against him coming back, its just this launch it stuff when he's in the team is complete nonsense. Actually, I think we did not do much long ball either. What we did do was rely on Barton's crosses and set plays to good effect. And I really doubt Carroll has been given much of a chance either playing with players who would play the passing game whether it be for us, for Liverpool or for England, which is why I've yet to give any judgment as to whether it's his presence that makes the team hoof it or the kind of players that he plays with.

Happy for him, surely the boost he needs after the frustration of the Euros.
