Without doubt his best game all season. If that's an indication of him getting back his form, it will hold us in good stead for the remaining of the season.

He's 22. He can only improve with experience. Daft to even suggest selling him. Needs some time out though. He has severely fatigued at the turn of the year and the individual errors kept coming as a result. And that's after being one of the few to come out of the first half season with any credibility. Once Haidara is mentally ready he should take over for most of the matches. Santon desperately needs a rest.

Has been like that the whole season. Wouldn't surprise me a bit if we lead in corner goals conceded and least corner goals stats. Our overall lack of aerial ability in the team has hurt us this season. Both midfield and attack gets aerially dominated either in set pieces (offensive and defensive) or open play. Even a big man like Sissoko is a below average header of the ball. Carroll in the summer might prove to be a good consideration after all.

A win by any means please. Another loss and confidence will take a beating ahead of the next 2 big games. Worried about Berbatov and Duff turning in an exceptional performance. Slightly comforted by the fact by we are not playing at Craven Cottage.

Started with so much promise, then the bloody typical 2nd half collapse. Our defence have been poor and lacking concentration/ understanding for some time now. So, so frustrating. Worried about this game affecting the players for the Fulham match. Needs to pick up our spirits fast for the crucial weekend game.

Sh*t Shola showing up today.

This will be far, far more embarrassing without Krul.

Very much over now. Just hope we don't concede another goal.

Waste of a chance. Could have made something from that.

Pardew has no excuses with this sh*t surely. Those who defend him for this mess must be idiots.

Fk man. Why do we almost always have one good half at most.

sigh

MYM needs to stop falling asleep.

Darn!

We are playing some erotic football. Have not been that excited for some time.

Great save Timmy!

Wtf

So close!

Simpson with that pass!

Cousin of Thiago and Rafa Alcântara.

Pards prolly on a similar deal.

Karma bites back.

Same thing happened when we went in for Neil Taylor's 1m 'release clause' didn't it?

Considering his 'my way or the highway' approach, you wonder how soon and which player he will first fall out with. If he was in charge of the Man U match, Bramble would have been crucified publicly for his mistake. Can imagine the likes of Adam Johnson not performing up to his standards and an eventual confrontation.

Am I missing something here?
