Deuce

U.S. and AZ striker Jozy Altidore was racially abused by opposing fans in the Dutch Cup. He then proceeded to slot home a penalty and insisted the game continue on.

I ' m not sure sure what you ' re on about here?

The timing of that bolded bit is funny, but I know what you're getting at

Best player on the pitch for us tonight.

I'd rather see Willo at RM than Jonas at this point. Not really, but Jonas sucks.

Completely clueless and out of his league.

Bought himself another 5 starts with that goal line clearance. Absolutely going to hear about his "exceptional work rate" from Pards in the presser. Ol' Yeller needs to be taken out back behind the woodshed and shot.

Christ and crackers. That was absolutely the South Park cripple fight played out in real time, only ending after we had bashed their skull in with a rock.

This is turning into a shitshow

I know that feel.

2nd half? It's Willo time everybody

NO ONE HURTS CABAYE

My loins can't handle this game. So much :fwap :fwap:

I just came. So much

ESPN Gamecast has this line-up: Krul Santon Cabaye Debuchy Taylor Coloccini Gouffran Cisse Perch Sissoko Jonas Americans

Taylor's a good defender and Perch is the best DM we have with Tiote away. I thought Anita was a DM? He is, just not in the traditional sense. Still a better passer and more positionally aware than Perch. But he can't deliver that overrated bone-crunching tackle, so he takes the bench. A DM is responsible for protecting the back 4. That isn't Anita in a million years in the PL. It is if you use him correctly there's so many examples of similar players in the PL atm for teams with a lot more points than us. The idea of a DM is dying anyway and the sooner people grasp on to that the better. This. More than one way to "protect" the back four other than tackling.

Same. And my 5th midfielder is Hazard, so Marv won't be subbed off either.

Just picturing Sissoko slashing through their players like soft bread. With this soundtrack playing:

Willo starting was my nightmare. Shola starting might possibly have been justified, in a horribly retarded and irrational kind of way.

We're gonna get bossed in midfield.
