can't see us winning this, like

4-3-3 please. If Ba hasn't sorted himself out after 10 minutes then get Fergie on

Ben Arfa not getting any space on the right and they're doubling up on him. Need 4-3-3 so he can drift about and lose his men

I know Ba wants to play every minute and that, but he evidently can't. He's knackered

Pards did say he'd take a point...

As far as I'm aware, Jussi's been a bit shit for a year or so now

Absolutely. Bottom 5 player at best. Another MOTD player

I feel sorry for Boro, I really do. Kind of like them

karma truly does exist

I hope that Alonso's playing for them on Monday . If Damien Duff can destroy him imagine what HBA will do

Who/what type of player would you want instead? I'd play Tiote, Guthrie and Cabaye ahead of Tiote, Jonas and Cabaye. Fair enough, disagree like as Cabaye and Guthrie are too similar IMO, better off having a bit of an allrounder in there like Jonas who provides something different. Guthrie and Cabaye being similar doesn't really matter when they're playing different positions. Tioté and Guthrie would sit behind Cabaye in our current formation

Well HBA knows better than anyone that if you don't work then you don't get into the team. Fair play to Pardew; it's looking like he's got it spot on for the long term

So they're going to put more teams in the Champion's League? It already has way too many

This is why I hate Liverpool. We don't have a great reputation, but they are so deluded it's unreal. Downing... better than Ben Arfa? I can't get my head around the concept. Why would anyone have such a train of thought?

Do we really need them to beat Everton in the Cup? Would be a massive help, yeah. Still think we'll finish 6th

Tbh, as much as I hate them, we could do with Liverpool winning and getting some form so they can beat Everton in the cup. They are not threat to us in the league imo

Looking at it, the whole squad yesterday cost just a little bit over what we received from the Carroll transfer

Victor Moses is a complete fraud

Was anyone else absolutely shitting themselves when Sigurðsson got the ball, btw? He really is a brilliant player and was their only threat

Really doesn't like it on the left. Probably needs a bit of a rest I think. Looks knackered :/

oh my god

Said it before, but Guthrie's key to how well we keep the ball. Clearly missing him today

Hope it's still 4-3-3 rather than 4-4-2

Tony Cottee says we've been lucky with injuries this season How many players have we got out for the season?

It should change for whichever position he plays. Deffo Perchelele when he's in midfield.
