Always tried hard but he was the record signing of the time and somewhat a disappointment, good throw ins though we never ever made good use of them!

Cody cropper anyone?

Which begs the question would we have been better off signing a less temperamental striker that's more of a team player and more consistent overall. All swings and roundabouts though always going to be compromises.

No I think he's a good player as I stated above just that he seems anonomous for most games apart from the odd flash of brilliance as per the wonder goal and the discussion is around that nowhere have i stated he's a rubbish player. As for Ramirez I don't think there's many people who now feel he has a future at the club or do you feel otherwise?

Agreed it was a very physical game yesterday and maybe Osvaldo isn't up to that at the moment. Can't remember him hardly having a touch of the ball yesterday.

And. I don't mean because he's been a sub for most of them. He is clearly a skilled player as the wonder goal proved so I can only put it down to work rate, it literally was as if he wasn't there at all yesterday. Still adapting to the premership or only bothered when it suits him? I stand by my opinion that he won't make double figures this season. In your opinion could we do with another striker as backup? One that could work alongside j rod?

good point with a weakened side against a very good team! ill take that! mom jrod only one with any movement whatsoever up front today and worked tirelessly!

another striker needed in jan gutless up front

overreaction.com he's nowhere nr the worst CB in the league and you know it

newcastle much the better team up front hopefully a change of plan second half!

Gazza isnt premiership quality but it isn't his fault and theres plenty of effort there!

def hooiveld mistake but most keepers would have blocked that! lame attempt at a save!

gazza no where remotely nr that!

Think we will see Gazzas limitations as a goalie today fully expect him to be underfire from Newcastle's attack today and if I'm honest expect one or two calamitys. But if if the defence can stay strong in front of him we can get something. I'd take a point

Had the odd moment of glory for saints and was a decent enough player but overall you'd have to say he underachieved

Lower by all of one point & the biggest club on the planet you do the maths

Cant remember lambert doing much today? did city actually have a brit on the pitch?

would have bit your arm off for a point at the start, great performance with a weakened squad, lallana my man of the match! !

oh christ gazza nowhere near that!

exactly clear body block!

It was only cos he hasn't played for yonks much much better today

cork was awful against villa but he's had a great game today an excellent replacement for wanyama!

fook sake lovren out!

A lot said he was utter ****e last season seems a different player!

city have stepped up the possession this half!
