I've hated him for months. It's not like he's shit at his job but simultaneously a seemingly nice guy like Mike Williamson or someone. He's shit at his job and deflects it onto just about everything else he can before accepting it himself.

It can't be a coincidence that Tioté's got gradually worse and worse under Pardew.

Aye he'd be a decent back up option imo. Depends entirely on how much he'd cost though. Wouldn't really want us to spend more than £5m-£6m on him.

I thought yesterday that if he was going to get sacked it'd be on Monday. Still hope.

Was thinking at half time I'd probably rather we lost this 0-5 than 0-2

Sorry guys but Sissoko isn't very good.

Corner. Liverpool counter attack it is then.

Tioté didn't do anything.

Haven't Liverpool played in the Europa League this season? HOW THE HELL ARE THEY DOING THIS?

Tioté > innacurate long ball to Cissé > lose ball > repeat.

We don't look threatening and they look like they could score every time the ball goes forward. Mint.

GOOD JOB WE HAVE ALL THESE DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDERS, EH?

The team actually needs to go out and attack this now. It's a defensive team on paper, but the way they play is more important.

Wigan beating higher in the league Spurs today. Bet they didn't field 3 defensive midfielders.

It did. Are you totally forgetting last season where we actually did play Demba out wide and Cissé central or something? You know, that season where we finished 5th?

Debuchy's crossing has been pretty poor for the most part (albeit not as bad as Simpson's). All our deliveries have been coming from far too deep though. Need to get to the byline a lot more and I think that's something HBA's return should bring.

The first two syllables of Sameobi would be pronounced the same as Sammy. It's pretty obvious which one he was referring to.

It's definitely been passed down to the players as well. You'd never get good managers saying shite like that every week.

you sure about this one? Last time Cissé had a partner up front they were getting in each other's way a fair bit.

Ben Arfa and Marveaux supply craft and guile don't they?

Marveaux/Cissé imo.

journos are a bit daft, aren't they? Cissé's played effectively as the sole striker long before he even joined us.
