Beautiful goal by Napoli
-
It would suggest he was just coming back from injury and clubs didn't want to take the risk. Hope he does well there after a good start last night Why would Rafa want him gone then? I would think he knows Krul's situation better than most here. Probably doesn't rate him. Good managers can get some things wrong

I don't even think Sissoko is good. My argument has always been that he tried his best for us and he just isn't that good -

Said it before but the use of stats in football, bar goals (and assists to a degree), is a clear sign that someone knows absolutely nothing about the sport. Sky are attempting to force us to adopt the American model of relying on nothing other than meaningless statistics. That's just not true. There might be too much importance placed on them, but statistics in context are a very strong method of analysis, and can give insights into less glamorous aspects of the game that are just as important. Distance covered, passing accuracy, key chances created, tackles. All important descriptive statistics if used properly and in context. Key chances created is probably the main one used that gets on me tits. Utter bobbins. Well that's just because Sissoko used to get really high chances created numbers and it didn't tie in with your views Not at all, I've been fairly consistent in my hatred of shite stats. They certainly weren't needed to confirm Sissoko was shite, despite your protestations. This is about the chances created stat. You dismissed it because Sissoko was good at it. By the way you didn't think Sissoko was shit. You thought that if only he tried he'd be the best player of all time -

Same with most dispossessed players. Neymar is number 1 in Europe this season and think Messi is up there too -

Did really well apparently. Maybe he's not utterly shit then

See I wouldn't call Matic for example a powerhouse. I think you need to be really quick as well as strong to be that. It just so happens that more black players than white players are powerful IMO
-
Cronaldo is really powerful but obviously has more to his game. Sissoko is probably the player that is most easily described as powerful as he isn't that good at anything else
-
Don't think it's deluded to get 8th at all tbh. Don't think the media would care either
-
That was his first goal in absolutely ages like
-
Don't see how that's clear considering he's played about a half an hour for us
-
What a horrendous post. Fairly reasonable one like
-
Surprisingly decent although they seem to give absolutely no points for actually scoring goals, in Lascelles and Shaqiri's cases
-
We'll just win the next 33 games and won't have to worry about it
-
Aye, I'm much more excited by his tackling and intercepting than I am about his passing. He's a very comfortable passer rather than a ball through the eye of the needle type
-
Ref just blew up for half time with 15 seconds left and Swansea had won a corner
-
Didn't think Atsu was great bar the goal
-
What a signing
