Varadi

Same, he was decent I thought, certainly prefer him there than in the middle.

tbf he started the season there as well, just looks a lot better at it now he's had time to get used to the league - decent management to move him wide to give him time to get acclimatised imo.

His all round play is decent but really needs to work on his finishing, a top striker would've had at least a couple from his chances today.

Got caught a couple of times but he'll learn quickly I hope, seems an athletic lad, which will help. We'll need him in the middle if Dummett is out for a while.

Jelavic coming on...

Amazing the difference it makes having a central midfielder looking to go forwards with every touch, very impressed so far.

Keep it tight first 10 of the 2nd half please, Bilic will have them fired up to come out and have a go I reckon.

"German sub sinks us"

Thing is Adebayor usually does well in his first few months at a new club so uncle Pards will be there lapping up all the credit once again.

Remember him being decent for a while in that spell at QPR but usually looks poor for Spurs, maybe the type of player who needs a run of games to get into form.

Liverpool are so fucking bizarre these days

Had a couple of right specimens in the pub last night - personal favourite was a 60 year old brummie in all his replica kit giving it the big one all night, thought he was going to cry when Dummett scored. Think a lot of gloryhunters in general are massive social inadequates just trying desperately to be associated with something successful, got to feel sorry for them really.

Beat West Ham and things look a lot better, especially if we get a decent striker in asap.

Two assist for me, thought he nodded both back for the goals. So 3 assists if you include winning the pen?

Think Aarons has potential to be better than both, if we can just get him fit...

It's a real possibility

He certainly doesn't know his own, can't have seen it for years.

"Still a foul" I think I know that bloke.

Aye, 12 million is about right for an England midfielder these days I reckon. The mackems paid 10 million for Jack Rodwell ffs. Adam Lallana was 25 million!

Colback to LB seems the way out, keep him in the team, get him out of the middle of the park.

Aye, he's got a canny shot from distance, has scored quite a few direct from free kicks.

Think we'll play well, create some decent chances and lose 1-0.

same, he can strike from distance as well from midfield, cant remember the last one of them we had. Cabaye? I think of Cabaye often. Cabaye could curl one from distance right enough, think Shelvey has a lot more power in his shots.

I thought he rarely played him for Twente? Used him mainly as a sub I think, bringing him on to help close games out. No need for that here, we're never in the lead with 20 minutes to go...

Happy with this tbh, he's always looked decent in games I've watched him, kind of player you worry about when he's playing against you.
