S-Clarke

Feel sorry for the lad, but he shouldn't be at this level. He lacks the basic instincts and attributes to be a top level goal keeper and that isn't going to change. He'd be a decent keeper at L1 or L2 level I imagine, but he's got to go. It's not good enough for a club in our position league wise to have someone of his quality as backup.

It was a good performance in that first half, but once again we're killed by the lack of depth in our squad - and big sides like City will just exploit that for fun. I still believe that if we have a full 11 to choose from, who are on form and fit...then we're a match for anyone, but the reality is that it's not possible to keep that going over the course of the year. To progress this squad we need to keep together what we have, and evolve the CB, GK and ST positions further so we're not so hopelessly out of our depth when we get just a few knocks. It will be an interesting summer, that's for sure.

Looks to me as if one of the main, soul targets is to get this club generating money - as they're right, it has potential, and the commercial side hasn't really been taken on. It does suggest and end to any sort of bankrolling though, more a case of living within our means.

He's not good enough though Minty, he's rubbish. It's not like it's his first game and we need to give him chances etc, he's been here a almost 2 years and has let in crap goals in every game! Not good enough and he needs to go to the level he's capable of being at, I feel sorry for him.

It didn't look good to be honest, may be one of those that looks worse than it was..hopefully. But if it is as bad as it looked, he's easily looking at 10-12 months out in my opinion, have seen those innocuous knee collapses in the past. Need to start scouting for a replacement for him in the summer too!

He's not even NPC quality.

Pretty ridiculous really, we've played very well and it just makes a mockery of the whole possession game. and also proves pretty emphatically that we cannot continue to have Gazzaniga as a backup in any shape or form. He's had nothing to do, yet hasn't made a save and has let the ball in 3 times. He's absolutely pathetic and I've had enough of him. He's not even a championship goal keeper.

Real Madrid's left hand side, made by Southampton. How mental does that sound.

Oh well. At least the game means nothing to us in the context. Who knows, he may pull of a blinder. But I doubt it.

Paul Mitchell is our 'Head of Recruitment'. Although he's not exactly like a DoF for us, so no idea what that article is on about.

Not bad, but WTF @ leeds? ''yep..keep the ball, i'm not going to get close to you or try to win it back.''

Don't think he's done anything of note in a pretty poor league this year. Not quite sure he's really up to it.

He's completely perfect for our formation and the tactics we deploy. He's mr dependable for sure, but he's got so much quality and technical class. Some of the stuff he can do with the football can rival lallana.

Even when we were in L1, he was by far one of the most technical English players in the country. If we want to try and play like Spain, then he needs to start and become the focal point of the side - just as he is with us.

He's pretty god damn average unfortunately. He'll be back here in the summer like a bad smell.

Don't rise to it and stop quoting him. All he wants are reactions and you're giving him them. Ignore him and he will go away.

Quite incredible how Mousa Sissoko gets in the French squad ahead of Morgan.

Lloris Clyne - Lovren - Vertonghen - Baines Lallana - Barkley - Morgan - Erikson Lukaku - Rodriguez Subs - Howard, Shaw, Mirallas, Wanyama, Lambert, Davis/Cork, Jagielka

I'm of the belief that we have near on no chance of doing anything at this world cup, so why waste the world cup with has-beens and players who won't be around for the next one? Use it as an opportunity to hand the likes of Adam, Jay, Barkley, Shaw, Chamberlain tournament experience. It's utterly pointless taking the likes of Cole, Lampard, Barry etc. It's a chance to blood some youth in one of the most anticipated world cups in decades, let's hope they see it the same way.

Maybe he was carrying an injury all along? Sometimes I think it's that straight forward with Lambo.

Him, along with Steve Davis IMO.

That is truly ridiculous dominance. If I was a newcastle fan, I'd want a refund after that!

That was a truly excellent showing, but you do have to say that Newcastle were abject. I thought Norwich were by far the worst side to come to SMS a few weeks back, but Newcastle just topped that and then some. But enough of them, and more about us. We put them to the sword from the first minute and after 15 mins some people were thinking it was one of those days, but I just knew we would score - a side cannot start as well as we did and lose the momentum, and it was true - the chances kept coming and we kept the momentum up all game long. Jay Rodriquez would have had a hat-trick on another day, but their stand in GK had the game of his life against him - and he still had 2! Was a good game in general for the England contingent, who all played pivotal roles in the performance. Lambert moved them all over the place and the pace of Jay left them stranded time and time again. Lallana just took the **** most of the afternoon. A very pleasing day and we are now above them and hopefully to stay - it would be fair reflection on the league, as in my opinion - we are the ''best of the rest'', which is an excellent achievement seeing as this is only our 2nd season back.

Not quite sure of the relevance of that!

Lallana would and should go for excess of £20m
