How about Hurricane Maya?

Except he's not really.

See the Hull game at home last season for evidence.

That's grotesque.

Derry must have dirty thoughts about Troy Deeney and Stefano Okaka.

The Galpharm or whatever it's now called is a horrible stadium.

Bet the story is an anticlimax like this journo's other articles.

Post Puel Stress Disorder?

Problem is Gabbi excels playing on the last shoulder, finding space behind defences (whether we have players who can pick him out is another matter). That's nullified dropping deep as no.10s tend to do. Thats why MP experimented with Austin in the hole during preseason.

Soft pen for the mancs. Justice done, its saved.

We've got a goal poacher in Austin: shame the rest of his game is bang average.

How long before Pellegrino grabs Bertrand by the throat and puts him in a chokehold?

http://gaojisheng.net/sw_detail.asp?id=118 This is the post mentioned in the article (in Chinese). Interesting that he was in Poole doing business with Sunseeker. Didn't we have a sponsorship deal with them at some point?

It's a London thing.

Even though we started Tadic -and Boufal puts in more of a defensive shift than him? Not sure how he would have left us open unless you're concerned about him giving the ball away in dangerous positions in which case it would seem hard to trust him full stop.

And we couldn't throw on Boufal in that situation (when we were on the front foot and in control) - or were we too concerned about the counterattack?

Long and JWP made sense - didn't see the point of McQueen for Tadic unless we were shutting up shop.

Are we still in for Ings and Barkley, Dazza?

Not a great performance but respect the point. Perhaps Long should have started given they like to press high? Kind of pub side that he thrives against.

Offside.

Poor header- didn't get all his head on it it seemed.

Not many goal scorers or match winners on the pitch.

He has been - probably still getting match fit and used to the pace of the game. At least MP has been a bit more adventurous. Could have put JWP on.
