Would have been better for the players to attack the box and for him to cut it back from the byline. Those cut backs, one-twos around the box are so effective, it's surprising why we don't really do that. General movement was poor on Sunday though.

Serie A clubs like to sack their managers. There's just no continuity whereas in the PL you have Ferguson, Wenger, Moyes as long-serving managers. The current longest serving manager in Serie A has like 3 years it seems. You do wonder if it has to do with the continental set-up as 'head coach' (+DOF and other roles) instead of the English-style 'manager' that Serie A find their head coaches more dispensable. The other rule which I can't ever understand is that a manager who resigned or was sacked in a Serie A season cannot be signed by another club. It severely limits the options a club has when seeking to find a new manager and they probably have to reconsider the same guy they sacked a few months ago. If it's meant to offer some form of security to a manager, then it's not working too well either. There were 20 managerial changes last season and 25 the season before that. It stands at 20 so far this season. Mental, even if Palermo accounts for a significant chunk of the number.

As I got to the end I was thinking that was written by someone that knows us pretty well. Not the usual bullshit. Then I saw the writer: By Kristan Heneage. Who's that? Our very own Nixon. What's the craic with this Nixon? Haven't been active long enough to know.

Assitsted the assist Ginger Xavi. http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/images/2013/0310/adamcampbellnewcastleuniteddebut20130310_205x285.jpg Clear resemblance to Scholes.

Moyes blatantly going to do a hairdryer at half time. Neville gonna relive the 'worse midfield' nightmare.

Nice FK.

Is he playing for the Blues tomorrow? Get him to wear an Everton jersey (Neville preferred).

Neville's nightmare continues with a bad tackle.

Great goal! Everton man...

Arsenal fan charged with throwing a banana at Gareth Bale. Could have killed Bale or caused him severe distress.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored again last night which makes it 7 consecutive matches (9 goals) he has scored in since ending his goal drought, and a total of 15 goals, 11 assists in 26 games this season so far. Get your checkbook out, Mike!

It's a one-year extension though. I can still see him leaving for another club in the near future.

Nasty, but not sure if it deserves a 11-match ban going by regular rules. That's discounting proponents of 'ban for as long as the player is out'.

N'zonzi would also have been unavailable if not for an inept ref. Seems they are an easy bunch to rile up nowadays. Hopefully they get a few early yellow cards which will be an advantage to us.

Perch into midfield I guess. Introducing fresh legs maybe.

Glimpse of some attacking intent now that we have an attacking outlet.

Fk, that was wasteful.

Shola time.

Good save.

Nope. Been poor upfront.

That was a nice piece of play from Jucilei.

We have created nothing in attack so far. The front 4 looks very disjointed.

Elliot nearly gave me a heart attack.
