Jagten

It is not pointless.

This is the Liverpool team, apparently: Jones; Wisdom, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique; Allen, Gerrard, Sahin; Suso, Suarez, Sterling

IIRC, Carr said we don't scout in South America.

His ability to help the team defensively is not based on physical strength and aggression, but in his ability to retain possession. We would not require another DM.

Kristan Heneage ‏@KHeneage I also asked Pardew about Anita, he said he's more suited to games when they dominate possession. Which as the stats bear out was not today. But in order to dominate possession, surely we should be playing people like Anita?

Try harder.

Having only 9 Premier League appearances - of which I believe he has only started one - I don't think we're quite in a position to judge. He was relatively impressive prior to his injury, too.

A half vs Everton?

What's that based on?

Krul Santon - Taylor - Coloccini - Ferguson Anita Cabaye - Jonas HBA - Cisse - Ba

They've scored in every game this year, except for Fulham (a) where they had 10 men for ~50 minutes. Think they're a much improved side under Clarke - and I'm not particularly confident, especially if we play 2 in the middle against their 3.

Ben Arfa speaking about him in today's Chronicle:

Krul Simpson - Taylor - Colo - Santon Anita Jonas - Cabaye HBA - Cisse - Ba

.

You have to buy from the box office on match days.

Djourou is awful, man.

No, he didn't. But a continued exclusion from the first team squad for one poor half against a brilliant Everton left-side doesn't seem particularly fair. Especially considering the countless opportunities afforded to Obertan.

Not surprising really, he was awful that night. I cannot believe his current squad status is a consequence of 45 minutes of football.

Krul Simpson - Williamson - Perch - Ferguson Tiote Anita - Bigi Obertan - Cisse - Marveaux

Not really sure where Pardew is planning on playing him.

I presume the idea was for Obertan to use his pace to exploit their high-line. Obertan, however, showed no attacking intent whatsoever.
