Aiston

He's been done so many times when they've attacked us.

I've got a fiver on it, and £20 on >100 goals. >100 goals, with our strikers ?

Our defence...like lava through butter.

He's been awful.

And in the first and the second.

Fucking hell Aarons.

It's like we've had 9 players, the way Gayle and Perez have played so far.

Holy fuck Colback actually got subbed.

Better play from him now in the 2nd half.

The Euro's. He's barely been back a week.

Rolando time = 3 month injury after looking decent for half a game.

Played three 45 mins, and two 15 min spells. As prolific as ever then. Hopefully he can work out how to score this season after his ban.

He scored one in pre-season, how many of the games did he play?

Best player on the pitch tonight so far. Would be incredible if we could keep him and he could become consistent under Rafa. No chance of him staying though so hopefully we get big money for him.

Craig Hope has been pretty spot on about us recently, hasn't he? Been miles ahead of the game on all of the Rafa stuff. Hope he continues to be but anything Daily Mail has me being incredibly cautious.

It's interesting the way people talk about Sissoko, they simply don't hold the rest of the players to the same standards. There have been far worse players in the team that have been consistently worse then him, yet Sissoko gets the brunt of the abuse which is all due to him wanting to play Champions league football.

Daily Mail...I guess people take notice of that shit rag when it's positive stories about us.

Still managed to be our most creative player as well, even if he only scored one. Makes me laugh people say he is shit though, he clearly isn't.

Would love him to stay if Benitez stays.

Disgusting challenge, liability. Nearly earned himself as many game bans as goals.

Cisse missed a massive chunk of the season, played half as much as Mitrovic and was only 5 goals behind him...as s*** as he has been, he's not the biggest problem this season that we had up front.

It's 100% his fault, the chances he has missed.

Mitrovic isn't anywhere near the level of Carroll was.

Another fantastic game from him, one of the very few. Really hope he stays in the Championship with us.
