Seriously misguided. Worryingly so when it comes to his selections both starting and substitutions. Santon is so obviously better than Raylor and should have been in ages ago. Shola just doesn't offer enough compared to Best or Ben Arfa, this needs to change. Smith shouldn't ever get another game for us. We need to figure out a formation where Raylor doesn't play again. I suggest Ferguson LB with Santon RB while Colo is injured. Then, when he's fit again, Simpson potentially can go back to RB and Santon becomes a LB. Gutted with some of his decisions

He's chosen a gameplan and the personnel to suit, HBA wouldn't fit into this game because the ball has been pinged from one end to the other. Totally disagree with HBA not being suited. We've looked good with the ball on the floor. We need people who can retain the ball not Ryan Taylor and Obertan passing it out to the crowd every few minutes. Get HBA on and get Best on. Two players who are technically more able than Taylor and Obertan. Then we can really have a go at Norwich who are actually wank

This, it's one of the few sections of our side that I would want even if everyone was fit

3-2 to them. Shola to score a disgusting goal after playing badly, Jonas to score a sweetly hit one from inside the box

These team selections just get me down. Shola starting ahead of Best/Arfa? Smith on bench? Pardew gets the best out of people on the pitch and uses good tactics but I really think his major failing is seeing the qualities of players.

That's pathetic but I like his abuse of Neville in the other bbc article. He is a good lad

If they thought the difference between the two sales was £15m and they got it, why is it mental? Chelsea are the club that got stung, not Liverpool. They managed to get Suarez out of the whole scenario and he's as good as the two combined, even if he is a detestable creature. This is just plain crap logic Eric. The Suarez line is a completely different argument, there was no way of telling he'd be as good as he is. How can you say Liverpool didn't get stung when they could have forced Chelsea's hand to pay the £50m fee without Carroll being involved. It was their choice what they made Chelsea pay up. This left them with whatever they wanted to outlay on a player purchase. So let's say, £35m of that purchase was always going to go on a player(s). Well, they've spent it, that money no longer exists for them. What they got instead was a player on high wages who has been really shocking for them. They can't spend that money in the next window, so either way you look at it, financial fair play, money in the bank, they got done man. Look at the wider scope of it. You may want to say that theoretically, there was no way of telling Carroll would be this bad but then you'd have to make the point, he'd only really had half a season first team football in the PL. Terrible decision from Liverpool. I say all this and Carroll was my favourite NUFC player from the championship season up until his departure. Even with all the shit flying round about him in the papers, he was an incredibly exciting player, the way he drove us on and dictated games for us. He'll never be like that for Liverpool

Anyone seen Moneyball? Basically what Liverpool did in the last transfer window is the exact opposite of how Fenway go about business for Boston Red Sox. I don't follow the sport so I don't know if they still do loads of sabermetrics and aim to buy in cheap but it just seems bizarre that Henry would take over Liverpool and allow that kind of shit spending to go on. I guess he just doesn't know the game at all

If ever there was a reason why no one on this forum and no supporter should ever use the words 'in pards we trust', there it is in Ash's post. It makes me feel sick, it's football man you pansy

This is too much. Can't keep reading all this bad news. Our two centre backs, the main reason we are where we are... cannot describe how gutted I am. The taylor injury is the killer but this is just horrendous news. I am a massive optimist but we're looking at a period until the end of the year and season where we're going to be fielding a horrifying defence. Raylor was appalling on Saturday... I don't know where I'm going with this, if we don't make CB our main priority in the transfer window we're a joke. If all this talk of Kadar not being rated by the NUFC management is true, then why haven't we got other options waiting in the wings?

He hasn't got it all though,he's actually really really bad at dribbling due to lacking close control. This is the reason he can very rarely take anyone on and his attempts to do it involve dancing around the ball rather than actually moving it past the defender and pulling away from them. He has quick feet but he can't drop his shoulder at all. He can't accelerate past people unless he's already running. The only way he'll beat a man is if he's doing a Gareth Bale type run where he's already at full speed. He can't just generate it from nothing. Everytime he tries, he just does some shit stepovers and couple of feints and then passes it backwards or loses it. Still think there's a good player in there but he needs so much work

Steve Kean. I never thought I'd hate a manager as much as Phil Brown but I f***ing hate this lying sack of s***. His face when he talks and his endless lies about how it doesn't affect him. You're a c*** mate and almost everyone can't wait till you're out of a job

I disagree, he does have end product and strikes a great cross. His problem is that he doesn't get into enough situations where he can use it. Too often he has the ball at his feet, should just run at someone, looks like he's going to and then all of a sudden, he stops, doesn't seem to know what to do, thinks too much, tries to do a really simple pass and loses it. When he has space, he hits a sweet cross

Never want to see him play left back again. Thanks for your goals, thanks for your non-smiley face but my god, you cannot ever play there again, that was a crucifixion today. Just an endless series of torture sessions for him

Raylor made me feel physically sick today. Show some fucking balls man Pards. Are you seriously trying to tell me that Santon isn't better than him? What a load of wank. Santon's faster, better on the ball and will track his man better. He can't possibly get out of position as much as Raylor and can't possibly get beaten as much. He's also going to be better at running at people along the wing and pushing us up the pitch. Just fucking sort it out

frankly this is a disgrace by Pards. I've never said a bad word about him since he came in but this is a complete joke. Our starting line up and half-time substitution were pathetic. Raylor man? I said he'd get fucking rammed up the ass and he has done, he's not good enough, he's nowehere near good enough. Shola on for Ben Arfa, what fucking idiot does that? Shola will add nothing to the side apart from a high tally of off-sides. Just gutted about this to be honest

Raylor shat the bed against Man City and completely bricked it. If the same happens again today, we're fucked as he has so little protection. What a massive disappointment this is

Just get fucked Redknapp, you sick fuck. Get out £30 million and you can have him

Means a lot, great effort. I really hope the Swansea match is a memorable one

Just get fucking Santon on the left wing man. What a joke. He works hard but he's not going to touch the ball all game. The only good thing to come of this is, Ben Arfa will link up play really well with both Ba and Loven as they both have good movement. The problem is what happens after Loven's good movement when he fucks up an easy chance. This is such a pisstake man

I'd be sick to my stomach if that happened. Don't think it will, Ba, Ben Arfa behind. Obertan right, Guthrie and Cabaye central with Sammy on the left. Best will come on in the 72nd minute. Feel like it's going to be massively open which could be a good or bad thing. We'll definitely get chances but I reckon with it being open, they'll get at our fullbacks, especially Raylor. Think I'll go for an optimistic 3-2

There was never anything in it. Just some PR and press people being fed rumours and paid cash to plant stories to get him a new deal. Even so, it's always a relief when the news fucks off

That really annoyed me when I read that this morning. Horrible bunch of bastards, looking forward to them being relegated. He's a desperate sham of a man who is completely out of his depth. He looks manic in all his press interviews and can barely string words together. That football club can fuck off

In fairness, that is just gold

The music line was a pathetic line from him and made him look cheap but I still think he's a decent enough guy. I've said it before but it was a desperate attempt for him to ingratiate himself with the Sunderland supporters. Look at him now though, they hate him and we don't like him. His move to Sunderland is a career destroyer
