Lallana before his injury was fine, i think hes still adapting to MPs style, i thought him and Shaw worked well together as did Clyne and Puncheon, he also works well with Punch swapping wings and switching play. He shows flashes of brilliance a few times a game, no doubt he is prem quality for me.

Hes made us a better side, in regards to performances and his record is ok, i feel very confident in him and next season were be in WBAs position, Lucky for us WBA will drop off to a 11th-14th postion side unless they re sign Lukaku they guy is pure class Chelsea would of saved them selfs 8 million on BA if they used him this season, he has got Lambos strength skill and shot power and Mayukas pace. MPs only bad move is playing Jos vs quick strikers Fonte is much better all round.

I was at Swansea away and i though he actually played ok, i was hoping he would build on his performance, his 1st half was poor 2nd half much better defending wise, aldo his crossing was so **** then jos went LB and put in a great cross that made him look like Beckham compared to Fox. I would feel sorry for him but when he tries stupid shots and passes when there is better options i cant.

Was our worse home game since Wigan at home, Lambo had a few descions got against him, some leaning and pushing that went unnoticed and after that he seemed fed up and didn't do well at all today, Lallana looked lively 1st half and offered nothing 2nd half same said for Jay Rod, thats are main attacking threat gone, for some reason MP doesn't play Punch who would of offered us a bit more, for me it shows we need LB incase Shaws out and a new CB and a winger MP rate, we need more depth to compete in the top 10 of the premier league and if we sign the right 2-3 1st team players i feel we can finish top 8. For me the whole team inc subs that came on bar these guys were 4 or 3 ratings. MOM S.Davis. Players that was ok Cork before he came off, Morgan Clyne and Boruc.

Rumoured to be leaving city and wants to stay in the prem, i think he would be a great signing for us, his experience and pace would help us, would MP go for someone like him ?

I did notice this, people moving so i knew there was a few empty seats, but half a block.

If we do qualify, as said earlier we need to ensure we don't do a NUFC, and make sure we have depth and right rotation so injurys and rest is given, hate him but like Rafa has done at Chelsea, and if we get some luck in the 1st 2 qualifying rounds we can use them instead of pointless friendlies, if we qualify we would deffo need a better LB RB and 2 wingers rather then the one, plus a young striker.

I think give him a run out vs Stoke that will test his prem qualities. Look at Yoshida, looked dodgey first few games now he looks like a decent CB who would walk into any side in the bottom half, his interceptions marking and last ditch tackles have been class yes his passing can be poor but point is he can defend and thats what he is required to do.

Have to agree does annoy me that we sing his song over others, when players like Lambo deserve there song 1st, what happened to us singing his name before league one and championship games, he used to always clap and thank us for singing it. Gaston is a good player and does flashes for brilliance may it be a flick and pass or a goal, however i feel he does need some more time to settle, i would expect a better performance from him vs a passing side like Swansea, and start Punch vs the more psychical sides like WHUFC Stoke Sunderland.

I feel we need to focus on this seasons finishing 1st, if we finish 11th or 12th, then there be that bit extra spending money, MP has shown his potential as a world class coach, but he will need some more players we need back up RB LB and CF and a pacey winger as i feel punch will be more bench next season then starter and try and help Gaston show his potential, and were have a top 10 side who are capable of finishing top 8, that should be our aim next season.

Todays games have left us in a great position which we deserve after getting 3 wins in a row, now to focus on playing for a 11th or 12 place finish.

Great win, clean sheet, Jay Rod and Lambo looking a class act, and Lallana back looking very tidy when he came on. Cork Clyne and Gaston were poor today, so we can only hope thats Corks off game, ONE MORE WIN TO KEEP US UP.

I think there better then people there all good enough to play, if we want to finish higher then 10th then yes we need to look at other options as when Cork is not there providing great support we struggled, last few games Yoshida has played like a world class CB with his tackles blocks interceptions and heading, however is passing has been league one at best, he is only 24 and CBs peak at 26-32 so we have his best years ahead of him, Fonte has been our best CB until his injury. Jos for me is the one i feel who will lose out this summer if we sign a new CB, Forren not sure on this fella hopefully were safe last 2 games of the season and he can play in them games see how he does.

Lets keep the momentum of winning and win this, il take a draw now but want all 3 Wigan and Villa fail to win and were pretty much safe im still looking behind us until the Reading game after this IF WE WIN, then i shall look for us to finish between 14th and 12th get that bit extra pride and money.

He was more hard done by then NA. NA is a good manager and i still believe he should be our manager however he is not and MP has got us playing good football and beating top teams, yes did he take over a side NA built, but i feel he made it better, hes got us playing much better football and using the younger players much better, Jay Rod and Morgan have benefited the most from MP.

Really hope this makes them plunge further, no way will they get a decent manager there at this stage next 2 games are really tough for them.

Great win, shame wigan won, need to maintain this form win next week and we will hopefully be pretty much safe only needing one more win. MOM was hard MS Yoshida Jos Lambo Jay Rod all deserve special mentions.

Decent player, did a job and a nice guy, really hope he can get 2 more years of playing regular football, his son is a great footballer, hope we keep a close eye on him when he plays youth football.

Gaston makes runs and little passes that don't always get recognised by some fans, however his finishing and final ball has been poor for someone we spent 12 mill on to ensure we get the decent final balls and score a few goals, however i have noticed he likes to play balls thats strikers run on to and thats why we don't see enough of it as Lambo not that type of player.

Lets concentrate on staying up this season, if we do this, i think next season NC will want a top 8 finish and give MP enough funds to sign 3-4 players to get us there.

Wigan winning today, has deffo increased our chances of going down from our run in, however i think chelsea with a game monday and then thursday means there weaken there squad, and we will get a draw vs them which should keep wigan needing to win 2 games to catch us, or 1 win 2 draws.

Wigan need the win, if NUFC can get a draw, were still 6 points clear with them to play Man City as there game in hand, i have faith NUFC and pards will be doing us a massive favour today.

Not a bad performance from anyone.

Also come on NUFC if they win 2moro were 7 points clear and there game in hand is Man City, meaning 2 wins 2 draws would be enough to keep us up.

Adkins if he did the right subs at the right time, unlike most of his games in the prem, NA is a quality young manager who will manage in the prem again, i do feel under MP we will if we stay up this season push on, NC will spend money and its clear if we sign a back up RB LB and a another attacking midfielder we have a squad able to finish 10th upwards.
