    Just wish he didn't get yellows in the first 10 minutes sometimes, happened a few times end of the season and thought his performance was thus disappointing. (albeit on those occasions remember being miffed by ref's decision), still get nervous though, should give him more credit on dialing it back. I don't worry when Colo gets a yellow because I know how well he can judge a tackle and don't think he'd be fool enough to get another one, less sure with Tiote.

    No it was literally off the park, Cattermole kicked him in the entrance tunnel
  3. Aye shame he just sort of petered out

    Forgot stevenage, hmmmm There is a place for players doing the 'dirty work' and Cattermole does do it pretty well for them most games but is the terrible leadership material and a very nasty streak. He is a much more limited player than tiote, he doesn't offer anything beyond tackling.

    I don't believe I've ever seen Tiote go out to injure another player, more just be stupidly clumsy at times, and I don't just say that about tiote, think most footy players don't have that in them either, but Cattermole most certainly does.
  6. It's difficult to compare to modern managers due to how the game develops, arguably it was a more level playing field for him to win the league so easier for him, but considering no-one has achieved similar with the playing field as it is now it seems churlish to diminish the achievement of winning a league title season after taking them up and then winning 2 consecutive european cups. Everyone always points out personality flaws which maybe are fair but secretly deep down everyone loves a charismatic genius bastard, see mouinho
  7. Was sad to hear this

    To be fair Henderson is just shit enough to make England captain
  9. On a free maybe not worth the risk though.

    With Mackem logic all our players are so shit we ended up 5th compared to where they ended up?
  11. A release clause in his contract I know but mad we were the ones who got him somehow, too used to second best lol
  12. I know that we can do well buying and selling at a good profit but please can we keep him for another season. I do admire the valencia / udinese model for success without breaking the bank but love him as a player.

    Not denying good job on line, but our defence has been leaky because of the rest of his work, valuing his defensive contribution merely because he clears a load off the line is silly
  14. If Cabaye plays his further forward role more he will score fairly often
  15. He was teetotal wasn't he? Wonder if he's fallen off?

    Well I sort of agree on Simpson, his defending is poor, his goal line clearances are good but wouldn't need to do so many if he was a better fullback
  17. Disappointed in him. Considered moving back to Feyenoord, but said it was "too early in his career". Would have understood if he had gone to a good club in one of the top competitions, but Turkey!? Similar level of club and competition, so must be financially motivated.. Surprised Liverpool have let him go. There goes one of the last things i don't actually mind about that club. That's why they let him go
  18. http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/blog/2012/jun/02/daniel-taylor-michael-johnson Wonder if he may have actually come good with some game time rather than being in the background earning tonnes for doing nothing. Still clearly lacks the mentality, but there was time, not sure there is now.
  19. Looking at the transcript to be fair Crass is clearly trying to say the subs mangled his copy, so maybe they patched it up later
  20. Regardless of price tag we can't sell our best player. Doubt he'll want to go anyway and it'll breeze over
  21. And unlike Suarez didn't deserve them

    Papiss doesn't score easy goals.
