Stop these stats man it's disgusting you sure these aint the Mackem stats?

Cleaning all my pants for sunday.

He was decent just keeping things ticking over, a lot of people ignore the simple things he does because he makes it look easy. He was placed deep in midfield couldnt really effect the game too much, unless you want him to play 40 yard 50 yard long balls all night to cisse. You know how people are against those in here.

Marveaux?

A post away from two assists. Great one was largely created due to Danny Simpson. How many shots did he have? Did he even look like scoring tonight? He needed to play deeper tonight as we lost hold of the ball in the middle of the park

Conceded the most away goals in the entire league yes thats us nufc, anyone thinking we were going to benfica to do one on them would had been very misguided.

Oh lord

Seriously though I do wish he would stop this sissoko second striker nonsense, he's not Kevin fucking Nolan, the boy is wasted playing so far up there.

Leave the boy alone, he was immense tonight apart from the handball, Without him tonight we could had been 4 or 5 down.

Agreed, I just wish we'd spend a bit more time working with our defenders. The irony

That sums it up pretty well. Chalk and cheese in terms of approach. I'm not sure they'll win over two legs against Chelsea or Spurs with that approach, because those teams will hit back far harder than us. There are those who will say we were unlucky, but I thought they gave us a right pounding over 90 mins. We were not unlucky , mistakes are not called being unlucky, they are f*** ups that are avoidable. And agree they gave us a pounding, 20-7 shots, 12-0 corners. Maybe the stats are wrong , I'm sure we had one corner.

Santon was at fault but he wasn't responsible for every 20 shots they had compared our 7

Exactly this, he has spent over two years here now drilling the entire squad into staying in their own half , get back in position and treating the ball like a hot potato. When your team has been conditioned this way for so long then one day to turn up and tell them to attack, it's going to be tough on them. People may blame santon I do too, but even without the mistake the match was only going to go one way after they equalised. We simply could not contain them.

Feel sorry for sissoko ths guy has been told to play in positions where he should not be.

I think they would had still beat us had it not been of santon, the momentum has always been with them after 20 mins of the first half

Cabaye is far too good for our team.

Think it was ruined months ago

Yeh right

Well well well

Shocking

Come on Marv u have to work harder without the ball

Loved how Cisse himself flew into back of the net, good quality Top pass from Simmo lol

Simpson

Good luck to my pants
