Saint Without a Halo

As the commentators say we look very very tired across the whole pitch

We need our customary goal away

Cork off Davis on

three games in a week for a 17 year old can't be easy!

Liverpool are very good at closing down and seem to be winning almost all 50 50's and more

Midfield needs to get stuck in and show the same appetitie for the ball as pool

As in a sign of surrender maybe?

It's not the defence today but the midfield not competing we are starved of the ball and the defence did well keeping it to one given they had 15 chances! to our 2!

We look tired!

Phil it was live on Abu Dhabi Channel 10 through the Du cable package of AD sports!

Taters think our crowd is not making much noise today compared to Sunday!

Err why would the developer pay for an advert in the programme if he had little edatorial control over what it said? I dont think there are queues of people waiting in turn to advertise there. I would hazard a guess that the programme commercial team are desperate to attract any sort of advert and would not be shooting themselves in the foot by super intrusive editing! They could have pulled it and put it in the echo instead! Also I would hazard another guess that NC has far more important things to do with his time than proof read potential adverts for every match programme. So I cant see any hard evidence of this conspiracy or indeed even any circumstantial evidence.

Agreed teamwork and togetherness counts for a lot! comparing QPR with us man for man as their fans did didn't really work out for them did it!

An aptly named signing for him too!

Hammond scores for Brighton

If asked who would fit better into OUR TEAM they would also probably vote for Gaston!

Agreed though the Ramierez change was also influenced by the fact he was on a booking and getting a bit frustrated to say the least!

Only ManU Man C and us had two predicted wins with 2 goals difference in each! is this justified reward for our form or just poor tipsters? Norwich are on form too lets not forget with 3 clean sheets in their last 4 matches and have wins over Arsenal and Man U

Lallana has a foot almost on the line the Newcastle defender is a good yard and a half inside the area! so well onside from the look of it!

Would love Rickie to start but JR wouldn't be a a disaster playing as part of the Lallana, Ramirez and Puncheon foursome. We would miss Rickies hold ups and lay offs but JR would have more movement and pace and his finishing seemed good based on the unfairly disallowed goal.

For you Alps that must nearly always be the case as you more often than not predict a loss! So the reaction to you is quiet resignation on a loss but "look how wrong you were" when we win! Would love the site to remain nasty for as long as possible if it means we continue to win though!

Agreed For (1) read Le Tiss for (2) read Terry Curran difficult question which we would rather have?

Match was on live in full and repeated again here in Dubai pundits view was Rodriquez goal was certainly onside, one of the two penalties looked like a good shout, Fontes tackle was spot on and he got the ball so shouldn't have been booked. Also the advantage played on the initial foul on Ramirez on the edge of the area was debatebale when compared to the danger the free kick would have posed from there. There were a number of petty fouls on Ramirez and he let his frustration get him booked. He needs to make sure he can avoid reaction going forward if he wants to avoid suspensions as he was and will continue to be targetted.

Level on the TV slow mo out here! so should have counted!
