Ah man, imagine having a good manager that helps develop players. Santon could be so good with some decent coaching.

Surprised there's not a bit more hype around Delph. Doing really well now after a poor start at Villa. Always looked like he was going to be a future England player when he was at Leeds.

Thought Marveaux did ok when he came on

Yeah, he was shit (no worse than Tioté or Sissoko, mind). To be expected when played in a midfield two and with a long ball philosophy though.

Tioté is so shit.

Bizarre that our entire attacking plan has been centered around one of the worst players in the league.

No surprises. Our game plan of kicking it up to for it to bounce of Shola has done nothing but invite pressure on ourselves.

Can only think Santon scores loads in training.

Central at the moment.

Plenty of opportunities You are getting carried away, just not in favour of him. He's made 35 appearances for us.

He's had plenty of opportunities to show something for us. Didn't hear about him doing particularly well at Boro either. I'm not going to get carried away because he's had one good half vs Norwich. Of course I'd love to be proven wrong.

Started together in that cup game vs Brighton last year. Don't think they have in a PL game though.

Yeah, he had a pretty good first half against Norwich but then completely disappeared in the second. Certainly had more performances that would suggest he won't make it at this level than performances that suggest he will.

My point was more that they're both poor footballers, without the necessary ability to succeed.

Embarrassing that we have to field not just one, but two Ameobis.

It's a very simplistic view to say the least. Defensive midfielders are vital in a lot of systems played today.

Probably would've scored at least one of those free kicks tonight.

Sissoko is infuriating, like. Why doesn't he run with the ball more. He's most effective when he does.

Need to get more than just Rémy in the box. Missing Cabaye and Gouffran in that respect.

Decent enough corners tbf.

Hope he does well of course, but he more than likely won't.

Would love it if he died, like.

Cabs even sporting the number 20 to match his valuation.
