Thought he had a reletively good game against arguably the best midfield in the league. Moved the ball well, despite as you correctly said, having few obvious options. He worked hard, and tried to get the ball forward. Pellè didnt hold the ball up well which hurt us moving forward

Different players but certainly Toby is the best I have seen. Svensson was excellent but Toby is a class above. Personally Id play him RB vs Arsenal, looked more comfortable than yoshi there, though neither were particularly effective against Hazard and Felipe, mostly due to Hazards ability

Scary that you are the official fm researcher

He gives a lot of fouls away yes, generally as he does back in and the movement of his arms to get into positions. Some are fouls, the majority arent but the ref always gives fouls like that. Yesterdays ref however was aweful, thankfully this advantaged us as we would have conceded a penalty. Pellès two major problems are; 1. He tries too many flicks when he could hold the ball up allowing others to join him. 2. He lacks composure and snatches at shots far too often

Proof if proof is needed that most fans are mongs

Ive just heard he is in hospital, broken ankle, Im trying to confirm anything and personally doubt it is true

He actually said it was 532 pre everton

Im just being pedantic, its the same formation more or less But... They are predominantly wing backs, not wide midfielders, so its 532

122311

Its 532 without a shadow of a doubt

ITS 532 !!!!!!

Deppo...... You used to be funny

Yeah merry christmas muppets, I might get more involved next year 2015 - the year of the muppet

Merry christmas you lot. Bit early but I cant confirm Ill be awake or sober enough to drink in an hour. Id like to post more.... But I cant be arsed. Hopefully Ill enjoy 2015 as much as I did 2014 and I wish you all a great year COYR

Well, there you are. You remember wrongly. The ball was on the ground and not bouncing. I just watched it back. The ball came back off the post, Mane was standing roughly in line with the penalty spot. It was good positioning, and he reacted well to the ball. You can see he was trying to side-foot place it into the bottom corner, but because he's leaning back his foot is under the ball and goes up much higher than is ideal. It clipped in off the bar, which I can't imagine for a second was his intention. I'm not complaining about the goal, just observing that at the time I was a little dubious about him. Not only because of this though, I also thought he went down too easily and holds on to the ball too long. I'm not alone in that assessment I know. I'm not talking about the goal. In fact, the goal is incidental to this conversation. I'm talking about his technique. As many have commented in recent weeks, he gets under the ball too much and doesn't have great control. That was evident even when he scored. It was great that he scored, but people who blindly claimed the coming of the second messiah after it went (and lots of you did) in were as blind as you seem to think I am. I'm not writing Mane off, but I don't think his goal was a stroke of genius. He miss hit, but fortunately miss hit towards the goal. (Last post of the day) If you ate worried about the way he strikes a ball then you should be equally worried about Pellè who has a horrible tendancy to rush or snatch at shots, especially after a dryish spell of goals. Most of it is composure and confidence, things that can be rectified. The shot itself from manè wasnt poor at all, a few technical bits here and there but realistically when the ball comes at you that fast its all about the reaction and he managed to get it away.

Made me lol

If he is their best player cant we buy him and loan him to havant & waterlooville for the lols ?

Isnt he at middlesborough?

He is a teacher, thats bad enough

This has got naff all to do with clarke carlisle has it ? Purely just you against religion I feel for your family

Im deeply athiest, but if you strongly believe in something thats your choice and who the **** am I or you to tell someone else what they should believe in The scary thing here is you are a ****ing teacher !! Jesus wept Why dont you admit you made an error of judgement in your opening post rather then trying to scew the arguement to suit your prejudiced agenda

No its not, its there right to believe in whatever they want. You were banging on about equality a moment ago and now you are speaking out against those that choose to follow a religion. Showing your prejudice here isnt required MLG Bore off you moronic tit

Is this really necessary ?

But we have only beaten one of last seasons top sides, if we have genuine ambitions for top 6 then that needs to improve.
