Johnson's had a few great crosses today.

Cabaye losing his cool.

Porbert pointing out the captain's armband to Tiote.

Larsson goes down holding his face. What a joke.

Think that's harsh on him. He's a young LB forced by unfortunate circumstances into an unfamiliar position in an away derby.

Being marked out. I rather he be facing Dossena.

Dumment's hesitancy.

We are losing our nerves while they have gained some confidence and composure.

Guess who was targetted.

Ah well...

You have a B&W TV like?

Santon to CB, Haidara to LB I think. Tiote has his brain fart moments.

If you can't beat them, jordan.

The two new players being Altidore and Dossena while they have lost Sessegnon, Rose and Mignolet. I'll take that! Dossena will likely be crap while Altidore might fancy his chances against Dummett. Hope we have enough to put them on the back foot though. Their gameplan is rather predictable so there's hoping we have an idea that works.

They have gone back to familiarity, with only 2 summer signings starting. Expecting the early dirty fouls from their gang.

We should give their FBs a real go.

We have to contend with Johnson cutting in from the right too...

Any team news for the mackems yet? It could be trouble if both Fletcher and Altidore start, with a physical battle against both our CBs. (Yes, Willo too, even if less so. He'll be real busy with 2 strikers + guiding an inexperienced makeshift CB.) Edit: Just saw the lineup. Fk, I'm worried.

The next best thing.

Ah yes he did. Failed me for many weeks after when I should have played Boruc in hindsight.

Clean sheet, penalty save, 3 saves, and a yellow card. All he lacks is another PL goal.

Howard got 14 points this week. Don't think I ever saw a GK with higher points.

Did he looked focused for the derby? Will you back him to score?

Suarez-Sturridge partnership.

Finally took Mignolet out. Nice timing.
