Imo, its okay that he cuts inside, as long as the left back comes up for as a option for a cross in. Marv also ran on both sides of the back while beeing stuck on the wing.

Disgrace of a footballer. Utterly shit all day.

Where did he get the power from with those legs?

Both Ba and Best wants to be leading the line all up front running inbetween defenders. None to drop deep and link up attack. Bringing Vuckic on was essential in the turnaround as he did what we needed brillianty so far.

Is marveaux playing a deeplying playmaker now? He's alot more comfortable defending then i'd imagine.

Bringing vuckic on really linked the attack with the defence.

Our best player by a mile! Ryan Taylor got a delivery wich will eliminate the loss of Barton on the right. His speed isn't as good as simpson, but defensively, is he worse?

Marveaux gets back alot to help defending, certainly not a "luxury" player at all. Should get time against fulham.

Brilliant freekick! Ryan Taylor on right back ahead of Simpson any day of the week for me.

haris!

second disastrous finish from gosling, hope he will get better during the season.

tbf, new left back, taylor on the right. Got freekicks, good delivery from the right, and looks the better player out of position.

I don't know if it is his face, but best allways strikes me as a lazy person.

Cabaye has been canny, good work rate, good passes so far.

Is it me, or is that pitch incredibly small?

What darn wank tactics they are going at. Lumping it long? Our nippy players can´t get a hold of the ball that way.

People are crying themself to sleep on here because the board aren't getting a left back. When they do you whinge even more because they didn't spunk money on someone who seemingly got adaptability problems in his own country. I got the world of belief in Pieters to be an excellent left back for years to come. He will probably improve vastly with his position at the national team getting tons of good experience against the best in the world at any national championship.

Rather have a striker who can play on the wing in a 4-3-3 and a left back then a direct replacement for Barton.

Bet we bid 7.5 Euro as price from journous has been 8. They probably want something like 10, but abit negotiation and player pushing for it it will go down to 8.5 or 9.5 with addons.

If he begs to leave every day. And he wants to come here, seemingly we are the only suitors known as for now a deal will be reached at some point. Hopefully!

Just can't help feeling that Ashley got some kind of personal vendetta against some of the crop. Pushing them out the door.

Would be positive to Emnes, got the speed to get in behind. What is usually frustrating with players with speed is they doesn't know how to use it to the benefit of the team. Wich I very much accuse Obie to do.

I think we have alot of good players for central midfield/OM position, it isn't a world of pain if he left. Allthough he is neat to have against the bigger teams and against sunderland. Plays really well when he's fired up, but seems to not care so much against the lesser teams. His personality demands alot of space aswell. And would people swap barton in with a left back and a forward? If rumours are true that barton is on between 70-80k a week. Pieters would take 30k/week there would still be room for 40-50k/week striker wich would mean top of our wagebracket.

Thats the way I see things aswell Ian W. Hope there will be positive signs when the accounts come out.

Pretty much the same thing can be said about Carroll...
