Tomaszk

Scored from a set piece and were forced to defend a lot of the game. Tad dissapointing as we were at home that we didn't really look to attack them that much, but I would have taken a draw before KO. Defence looked ok, not waterproof at all though. Petrov was shattered after 65 mins, how the hell can O'Neill not see this?! Very annoying. He was lagging in midfield and that's why we conceded IMO, there was a chance before Ireland played the pass he could have got back at his man. Barry is miles better than anything we have in central midfield.

0-2 I fear.

Want to see some of these PM's!

Tim Cahill is back so they'll play well for the majority of games get up around 4th/5th/6th then he'll get injured and their form will dip. What a player he is.

Much more confident than I've ever been, and that can't be a good thing.

oh Marlon

Funny little error on 2 player the keepers seem to be crap, even on stats. Cech and Buffon have 1/99 keeper positioning..

randy is amazing

Took this about 10 months ago when drunk thinking it was funny it looked like a face

Now now...

No way Friedel should be ahead of James for me. James was very strong for us, and for one or two errors he saved us loads of goals by coming out and catching the bloody ball, something other keepers find impossible.

Benitez will probably start this. He's looked very good so far, very mobile and strong, have to look after him, had a monster record in Mexico.

Woooooooaahhh woah woah. As recently as a few years ago...Aaron Hughes, man I despised him playing for us, at least a mistake a game, so bad. Could cross, had nothing else going for him.

bang on. Young is the best winger in the league on his day. And in the top 5 when he is having an average time of it.

I blame the Labour party!

These players MON's been tracking are going to be amazing. To make us wait this long he must have some real beauties lined up. You watch they won't all be overpriced, overated English jokes.

This is a joke. We've needed a top centre half all summer, ideally 2, but we NEEDED one for the team, and one for the squad. We have none so far. Liverpool have now needed one for about 3 days and have agreed a fee for a 30 year old experienced international for a fairly small £2m. Why does O'Neill insist on buying English!? They are more expensive and much harder to get because all the English players good enough for us are first choice elsewhere and cost about 5 times as much as their foreign counterparts. I don't care where players are from, but it is clear as day that English players are harder to get. This is pissing me off a lot now. Get some players in Martin! No one cares what country they are from, only how good they are!

Badge is shit. Need to leave it now.

Exactly, what's the point of even trying to get anywhere when we know when it comes to the crunch, after we've suffered injuries and fatigue picked up in Europa League, we'll effectively 'pull out' when the time comes. Best to just get out of it now. I'd love to be able to compete too but the manager has failed spectacularly in creating anything even resembling a squad.

I'll say it again, send some kids and get out of it as quick as we can. All this will do is tire out our stupidly small squad.

So you'd wait until any new manager that comes in is stuck with someone else's players?

Our best centre half. Would shine next to a better player, Davies doesn't help.

NRC has shown he can't play football. Yesterday's performance is the only thing that might give him a game. We were so bad, NRC has that knack of fouling people that might just get him into the side. It'll stop teams just passing it smoothly around us. So gutted by the performance.
