AY

They really were shocking yesterday. Even against 10 men. Looked like Stoke at St James last season when they tried to string few passes together.. hopeless.

The morons on RTG really think they can sign Llorente and Dempsey.

Johnson signed already and they are going to challenge for top 6 now..

Very soft penalty..

RvP is totally one footed so I expect him to play a bit more on the right and cut in to shoot with his left. So we need Colo to stay tight with him, he wont shoot with his right.

We really need a good winger.. and a left back

I would line the attack almost like in the OP Cisse Ba Hatem Jonas Cabaye Tiote With very attacking minded fullbacks providing the width. Then when defending the formation could be 442 Ba Cisse Jonas Tiote Cabaye Hatem

Actually I´m Finnish and dont know anyone by the name Mariappa

They are definitely playing 4-3-3 with Bellamy and Downig down the flanks and not 4-4-2.. Henderson has been awful at RM

Someone actually rating Jagielka? No way is he good enough for England or better than Taylor.

FFS there were 2 vs 3 again in the centre, against Villa he was superb when 2 vs 2. Didnt get much time on the ball and Tiote´s absence was a factor too. Created the first goal.

Moses(?) hit from 10 yards and Tim dived to his left and got touch. Shot took deflection from Colo or Saylor on the way. Great reflexes cause it looked like going in

Some horrible positioning from him today, but has been good this season.

Tiote has been superb again...

Where's that from then? A reliable source on twitter. Good. Was starting to worry a second there. Schalke is apparently buying Finnish striker Teemu Pukki so I dont think Roux will go there. Pukki scored 3 against them in the CL qualification round.

I think its obvious that some people here have never seen Shefki play. He is not some fat guy who turns to get his salary, like Viduka. He is a good professional and will chase those long balls like T1000 chases Arnold. He might not be the most techical player in the world and will miss chances that your auntie wouldn´t, but he still will give everything for the cause. Sometimes frustrating and sometimes spectacular, and trust me I have seen both when watching him play for our national team. I think he will be used as a sub for the last 10 minutes to cause problem in the penalty area (in both ends) and to hold up the ball. Hope he does well
