Monroe Transfer

At least with Taylor, we do have options (i.e. Santon and Ferguson). I trust Pardew to make the right derisions.

Who knows what would have happened if we hadn't made these mistakes. They might well have scored 3 anyway. And on another day, we might have put one of our chances away and who knows what might have happened. Sick of listening to Pat Nevin by the way.

It doesn't work like that though, the goals scored in the first half is affecting their performance in the second. We're having more of the ball because they don't need to score.

To be fair... if that had come off, they probably would have put the turbo boost on and scored a third.

Great thread.

Really good chances, we're so unlucky.

Get a goal early on and you never know....

Context of that line was mistyped by myself. I meant his mistakes don't equal a bad defender. and that Santon might make the same mistakes as well even though he might be a superior defender. He's not great but I think some are being harsh, especially as it's not his natural position.

Could have really done with Tiote to help up our possession levels.

We'll see what Pardew does in this half and the next game then. The mistakes he's made for their goals don't equal bad defending, by the way. I'm sure your man Santon might make the same mistakes too.

It's just typical really. Mistakes that didn't need to be made really. Typical. He's done well this season but Taylor has really hurt us here.

Yeah, because Taylor is suddenly massively inferior to a completely unproven player in this league.

They're just that much better than us and just about every other club in the league. Not that I give them any credit or respect at all for it.

Fuck sake. Game over.

It was probably going in anyway though.

Nasri and Aguero are both fit for them, after all. They've pretty much got a full strength team now.

Time for Sammy and Guthrie to shine. Massive tests for them.

Happy with that.

Arsenal are the absolute definition of a one man team.

Same. 2 weeks without a game, don't think I could handle waiting any longer. It's a different sort of game - we're not going to be expected to win for once, in a way there is less shame in losing to the likes of these... if you ask me it could go either way and I think it's unfair to write us off. To be honest I reckon it'll be a score draw.

Like they did against Fulham and QPR?

Done a poor job of Photoshopping Abeid on to that pic tbh.

Set to join Barnsley on loan apparently.
