For those who think we've played nice football this season: don't kid yourselves. In terms of pass completion, our highest rated players are Colo and Tioté with 83.1%. They are ranked 84th in the league with that percentage.

even your avatar is irritating

What if King and Kaboul are out? Ryan Nelsen! . We've got a chance lads

He's a way better option than Obertan and Taylor's injured. Of course he should be in the team now. I did agree with Taylor starting against Villa though, due to Hatem's poor last couple of games. HBA never looks like he's enjoying himself

I think the rest will do Cabaye good anyway and we'll be better for it. Bloke played 50-odd games last calendar year

Indeed. It will be very difficult for Guthrie to control the game as he did against Villa. Spurs' midfield is the most effective in the league along with Man City's imo, so I can't see us winning that battle. As I said - we need to defend excellently and rely on the Dembas to get a goal to come away with anything.

I can't help but think we'll score at least one goal with the Dembas up top. Just need to keep it extremely tight at the back and I think we have a chance of getting a decent point.

What fee are they talking about? And what does he mean with "something bad"? Are these quotes from before the signing? Ba seems always so relaxed. Funny how he admits that he really wanted a new striker to sign. Must have been frustrating with Ameobi and Best. The fee must be the transfer fee for Cissé. 'Something bad' will be referring to anything bad that happens with Papiss I would've thought (poor form, injury etc.)

I tried to tick one of the boxes on the right hand side of that table

@OptaJoe Opta Sports 8.5% - Liverpool have the lowest chance conversion rate in the Premier League this season. Onychectomy Suarez is shit. SO overrated

He should be at least considered/in the provisional squad (especially if Wilshere can't make it), but he won't. Even players like Leon Britton will get mentioned before him

Guthrie getting recognition

I like Villas-Boas. His interviews are... uh... absurd though

if we get Clyne, Douglas and Barnetta on frees then I wouldn't be overly bothered if we spent nothing as long as we sorted the necessary existing contracts out and kept everyone (apart from the obvious departures)

Aye, I was expecting him to be like Darren Bent, but his general technique is much better than Bent's

Thought he was a bit shit, tbh . If we'd have lost he'd be getting stick, like.

Great game today

The fact is that in the last couple of games when he has actually had the ball he's been poor and not really made anything happen. Apart from that one pass vs Brighton ofc

You know you're stupid when Stan Collymore makes you look a complete arsehole

He's so wonderful, beautiful and perfect. I don't believe he tried to kick someone at all. He just couldn't

It seems Billy Ions plays for Leeds now? http://www.leedsunited.com/news/20111121/under-18s-go-down-to-the-tykes_2247585_2522581 Is mentioned in that article

He's still comfortably in our worst two players (avec Ameobi), but he might be useful as a sub in the last few minutes as he was tonight

I love HBA, but I don't even mind if he gets dropped now. He's been abysmal in the last couple of games. Literally at the same level of performance I'd expect from Obertan. Clearly not a wide midfielder like Pardew has been using him mind.
