f***ed up for the third goal IMO, but other than that I thought he was excellent. Tiote was never excellent today. If Simpson or Obertan misplaced the same amount of passes like he did today (well, maybe they did) they'd be killed on here. exactly. tiote may do alot good things in match, like he did today, but he certainly cancelled it out with the fuck ups he made aswell

tiote 7? us conceding two goals today was down to him. So Tiote gets the blame for bad refereeing anf Simpson's complete inability on the ball? MoM with Colo for us. tiote was to blame because simpson was quite clearly man marked right on the edge of our own penalty box, maybe you never played football before, you got the ball near your own box with players bearing down on your team mate, the last thing you do is pass to him. how about clearing the ball hows that for a brainstorm? especially when tiote had all the time in the world.

honestly didnt think we played as bad as some reactions on here, we tryed to keep the ball play it short, we just couldnt make it stick once we got to the last third of the pitch. vuckic failed to provide any support to demba, and demba wasnt able to hold the ball up, we lost today down to individual mistake, mainly down to cheik tiote.

f*** sake vuckic, he's looking completely pedestrian, standing around looking lazier than stroller, his touch is also very heavy, he looks completely out of his depth, think the occasion has got the better of this lad because he's looking like a real turd at the moment., i can forgive lack of quality but not effort, the boy needs to pull his socks up and i wont be surprised if he doesnt come back on second half, honestly the boy runs of the field because the ball hit him on the side of the face, had it hit him right on the end of his nose i can understand, lily livered boy.

wont stop pardew from telling our team that though will it? I agree completely. You said you're happy to go with that for today though. Agree with your point however. Our players are much better when we keep it down, we've got a quality central midfield, arguably the finest ball playing centre half in the league, wingers who prefer to pass and play 1-2s to get in behind rather than whip crosses in, a striker who is absolutely deadly with the ball at his feet and a playmaker/whatever you want to call it of immense talent. There's no reason or logic to keep pumping long balls at Leon Best. We will though. i agree with playing the ball long tonight due to circumstances, Liverpool are a decent passing team, whether they are better than us or not is a bit redundant, considering we been blasting it long for 3-4 games on the trot , that fact we wont even pass the ball short vs teams like norwich, bolton, wba. means there's absolutely no way we are going to start doing it tonight. they work the ball from the back to the front, their weakness are mostly dealing with crosses and long balls, as both their fullbacks are poor headers of the ball. that leave us with 2vs2 ba and best vs their centrebacks. its a logical solution for this game. however we should sit deep, not high up on the pitch and lay them long balls upfield as we dont want to be caught with the pace of bellars as they counter attack.

99 percent sure Best will start, why? because we are going to lump the ball forward to Best and Ba again in a 4-4-2. Reason being, because there is absolutely no way Pardew will go toe-to-toe with liverpool and out pass them, no way. His method will have him tell our team, "liverpool are a better passing side than us, we will combat that with direct balls, get to the flanks and cross early as possible, pump the ball from deep when we can, disrupt their passing game" For once I got no problem with that, however I do have a problem when we play teams like qpr, wba, swansea, bolton, norwich, we have to resort to this solution. it's going to be a tough game for us no mistake about that, and i cant see carroll's bad luck continuing much longer.

How do you think Best did against Swansea and West Brom? he was excellent vs swansea, got subbed as he clearly wasnt fully fit, He also had a good game vs brom first half, faded quickly in the second half, lack of fitness and got subbed lets not forget he's been out for a while, these footballers are athletes, not cyborgs.

im still a fan of Best, maybe its just me but don't think he had a bad game yet apart from vs bolton. yes he hasnt scored but he so good at making that ball stick. think he change alot of peoples minds when Ba leaves for ACON, having someone like Barfa behind Best will bring the best out of both of them i beleive. keep the faith, hope we dont start booing him like we do to obertan, pointless.

enrique is the player that we actually missed since the sales. nolan who cares, carroll 35 mill not bothered, barton serial twitter attention seeking freak not missed. its a shame we didnt break the bank to keep him. then again we dont know how much he wanted to join his other spainards at pool, maybe it wasnt all about the money, but in terms of on field contribution, what a shame we havent kept hold of his services, taylor is doing a decent job but enrique is head ans shoulders above , skill wise , athletically wise, just about everything way better than anuthing we got currently in the squad that can be deployed as a left back.
