yeah looks like i made that up...ignore me.

Centre midfield is probably the position we don't really need strengthening...although goals from midfield is something we do need.

Urgh, had a dream we lost 3-1...wierd for me to dream about football. Off to the bookies I go. Hope for the reverse though!

Generally his short passes when winning the ball make it, barring a couple. 2nd half especially vs Palace, he got excited and tried first time through balls from distance a lot more and it was pretty frustrating. Just give a simple ball to MS or the full backs. Makelelelelele made a whole career out of this.

but its a concern for my prediction...as stated.

Not really what I meant, the fact we only picked up 2 points from 9 against those teams mentioned isn't a team that is going to finish top 6.

Seems to like his Champagne

At least they won't sit back which is what we struggle against. Have to watch them on the counter attack as a few times on Sat we looked a bit sus.

Just top 6 will do this season, even that is being very optimistic!! We have failed to beat Norwich, W Ham and Sunderland which is a concern for my prediction! I'll have some of whatever Tony is taking please.

Boruc came from Fiorentina...

x2...the 2nd could of been given on another day as well. Fair play on Holloway too, saying he dived when he should of shot, was expecting him to have another random rant.

Slowed the play down a lot today I thought. Solid performance again though.

Always looks like he has a secret service type earpiece in... Great Keeper and definately made a huge difference along side Lovren.

Classic Alpine.

Still sure on that?

I thought generally we were beaten to the ball a lot but kept possession well. Wanyama was great, just gets excited every now and again and tries an ambitious ball...keep it simple son. Osvaldo with a great strike, similar to the one last week v Liverpool but this time took a nice bounce over the keepers hand. Rickie...well it was Rickie, seen many of them nestle in, and another inch perfect free kick. Superb We played some nice stuff in patches. 4th in the league...I'll take that! Bring on Swansea

Love the little dig about Crosbys nose

not sure, that team got the run around 2nd half vs Bristol City, I would go back to the Liverpool lineup even if it is just Palace.

It wouldn't surprise me if they did...the old 'crap result after a good one'.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24285643 Glad we didn't shell out on him, don't think he has progressed as well as Stoke wanted him to although he wants to play so good on him. Think he was hoping Begovic was leaving in the summer.

what is FUT?

I think most of our attacking options need goals for confidence.

What a pants performance by Stirling.

Couple of benders.

Well I would personally love to see him come in for Young, who to be honest is so predictable at the moment from the Utd games I've seen this season. Totally short of confidence although there is a good player in there somewhere.
