Bloody hell I can’t believe Stephen Ireland used to play for us, so random. I remember when he broke into the City team and looked a hell of a player. What was that other player who fucked off his career with them we were always linked to?

Johnson? The one who turned obese?

Aye that’s the one. I think anyway. City had kind of decent youth set up, them two, Barton, Schmeichel et al. Now they are struggling...

Faye was a very good CB and was a player I was very happy to see us sign. Don’t quite understand why he was allowed to leave under KK.

 

Didn’t his lass not like it up here or some s***?

 

He fell out with Keegan and that was the end of him.

 

Also had a bizarre love affair with Fat Sham.

Michael Johnson had problems with depression and anxiety - didn't leave football because of weight issues.

He had those problems but his contract was paid up after pictures of him leaving a takeaway and being massively overweight were released in the press.

Important 3 points but let it not gloss over that most of the players on the pitch for us were or have consistently been s*** all season.

 

Darlow - makes he odd good save but punches when he should catch and is terrible coming to catch the ball.

 

Yedlin - one of the few bright sparks. Pace with a bit of cop on is a dangerous thing in this league. Still gets caught offside too often.

 

Lascelles - our most important current squad player. Someone to build a team around.

 

Clarke - inconsistent, poor judgement sometimes. CB is a position we need to strengthen.

 

Manquillo - his yellow card was a well timed one. Otherwise offered nothing all game and gave several corners away.

 

Murphy - gaining more confidence, had a great second half with an assist. One of the ones who would really benefit from a solid midfield and forwards who have movement.

 

Shelvey - fapped about, few passes up the flanks, no impact at all over probably the worst and slowest midfield in the whole league (apart from us)

 

Diame - looked a bit more up for it recently but that can’t cover over how poor he’s been.

 

Ritchie - looks knackered. Ineffective. Squad player for when we invest though.

 

Atsu - should have scored but also looks tired and should really be playing out wide and not in the middle.. he’s one of the shortest players in the league.. expecting him to be winning headers is retarded.

 

Perez - brighter today but again over a whole season has been poor. Again though, a player who will look better with better players around him.

 

Gayle (apart from getting pushed over, anonymous) Dummett (half fit but still better than Manquillo)

 

Awful post like. A tiny sprinkle of common sense over a large bowl of bollocks.

Reckon the refs briefing picked out Gayles propensity to dive. So in true "boy who called wolf" fashion he's denied

a stonewall one! 

 

Some great saves from Darlow and a decent performance all over the pitch. We should have taken our chances and made it more comfortable.

I liked our line up when I saw it. The front four all have pace and movement and it showed in our performance. If we could add a finisher in there then we could be into something.

 

Joselu being on the pitch gives our players an excuse to lump it forward and take no responsibility with the ball.
