WHAT A FUCKING GOAL!!!!!

Booked and rightly so, they can't handle Ba like. Good off the ball movement from Shola.

That would be moronic. From a neutral viewpoint it's clear as day they (man united) are not coping at all well with the physicality of your 2 front man. Ameobi gets stick on here but Ferdinand is a getting molested out there so why change things? Ferdinand is marking Ba..... in the main Jones is having a cakewalk against Ameobi. Yes i'm well aware Ferdinand's man is Ba but neither cb is coping and Rio is fairing worse (simply because Jones is slightly better coping with a physical player). As a pairing they are not coping so why in God's name would you change tactics? it doesn't make sense. You're right, there's absolutely no reason why we should change it round just yet, possibly later on, but not yet.

Cracking half, showed some great confidence on the ball.

Got the lot. When we signed him I didn't expect him to be this good, just incredible.

Good half. Ba has been superb yet again, not only the goal but dropping deep to pick up the ball, helping out the midfield and forming the attacks. Centre midfield pair have been on it, and Colo's been Colo.

DEMBA BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good flick as well Shola lad.

With Howard Webb as ref, you're never going to get a pen vs Man Utd.

Nice play again there. More good stuff from Santon.

Looks alright like.

He said he loves strawberry syrup, puts it in water and eats it everyday

What a hero :lol: I love him even more after that.

Demba

In the not holocaust bad sense? In the sense that we've stuck a man out on the right wing that can cross a ball and put our best striker and another big striker up top, who has replaced an out of form striker of a similar style. I would like Ben Arfa in the team, but as soon as people see he isn't in the starting XI they just go around branding out starting XI as shit, regardless of whoever else is playing.

Not a fan of Ryan Taylor on the right given his lack of pace, hopefully he'll be able to provide a few decent deliveries though. A lot of overreactions with our team, it's not what I'd have picked, but it's not that bad in all fairness.

Just checked Adlers stats and he hasn't played this season so you're probably right. Explains why I haven't seen much of him

Apart from casilllas & julio cesar? who is more better than hart? cech??? anyway goalkeeper standard is wank these days... apart from casillas & julio cesar there isn't any goalkeeper around that has their standart. Saying hart was one of the best in the world... its kinda right... picking the best from bad bunch. Neuer and Adler probably are (although I've not seen much of Adler this season).

He plays for City, pretty much. Even so. His goals/assists to minutes ratio must be up there. I do wonder how players like him get by with a game a month, i know the money but playing footy is so much fun. He's missing out on being a regular starter for England as a result as well, you'd have thought that would be a fair incentive.

Adam Johnson's got a great shot on him, like.

:lol: That's fucking fantastic

Dietmar Hamann? League/FA Cups in Wales, CL in Turkey, League/Cup for Bayern. Can't remember if he scored an OG vs Man Utd though.

2 up now. Rhodes scores again. The boy is class. A big step up in quality from League 1 to the Premiership though. No doubt, he'd still get goals though imo. At only 21 he's still a way from reaching his peak as well.
