OTF

Simpson and Ameobi off. Jonas into left back Santon across to the right....

Cisse and Obertan stripping off. I'd have Shola and Perch off for them.

Shola Ameobi playing him onside... WTF was he doing back there?

And that was

Thought that was a goal at first...

We've been the better side in general play, but they're setup for counter attack and have created two clear chances already. Thankfully Krul has been up to the task. Hopefully our central defensive pairing can improve their communication and positioning as well as get more cover from the likes of Perch and we won't need to rely on Timmy.

It's too tempting to point out when someone is so obviously wrong. It's never that simple though because he's incapable of deploying simple logic which is ironic because that's what he proclaims to be doing.

Silly from Perch there to pick up a yellow in the last minutes of the half for no good reason

Krul saves our bacon again with another 1 on 1 save.

Ba!! Great anticipation from the Shola flick on

Aye, that was shocking after such a great run by Ben Arfa....

Santon really wants to score it would seem.

Silly free-kick to have given.... Thankfully they fluffed it.

Good Krul save there from their counter stack off our corner.

And that's why you'd have complaints about Robert as you can't really play exclusively as a winger in a traditional 442. Anyway, don't want to be argumentative as they do play down the flanks/wings so in some ways it's semantics but winger is a different position to side midfielder. Slow match so far.... Stinging shot from Santon.

No, I mean wingers. A 442 does not traditionally have wingers - side midfielders yes, wingers no.

Plus we're playing a 4-3-3 with Ba between HBA and Shola. Cabaye, Jonas and Perch in midfield.

Guess Pardew doesn't think Taylor will last the match, preferring Williamson.

442s don't have wingers.

Suarez what a cunt.

Didn't watch the first half unfortunately but the second has been interesting despite the lack of goals so far. Joe Allen completely anonymous out there, had no idea he was out there until he popped up and committed a couple of fouls 20 minutes into the half. Aggers handball then Fellaini is giving them nightmares.

You've gone into crazy paranoid babble again. Try to keep your mind to one task, one item, one conspiracy at a time.

Wouldn't mind seeing Bigirimana start. Perch is a viable option also in that closing role, values possession from there and even picks the odd decent pass - still surprisingly...

Page before thanks mate.... And who's making money off the bogus satellites?

It's clouds and not rain that cause most of the problems.
