They haven't been great at all. We've just been really shit

Perez off for being our only spark in the second half.

Wonderful that from Williamson. Incredible how we can see game after game how shit him and Gouffran are but the manager can't.

Gouffran man. Truly abysmal

Just the confidence boost your needed going into the festive period. Cowardly tactics. Failing to change it at half time. Pathetic

Fuck off fuckers

Ffs. Keeper did nothing except move to the side. Pardew now makes the changes when the game's over

Tiote's passing has been shocking

Hoofball galore

The goal came from Gouffran being asleep. Again. Fuck off Gouffran and Fuck off Pardew. Wankers

Gouffran ffs. Is it to much too hope that he has a good game out of nowhere?

Colo being fit might be the key. Sissoko will be a big miss of course. Think Pards will go with Abied, Tiote and Colback which'll be too defensive. They should still have too much for us. I'd be delighted with a draw.

After watching that short film on the derby, does seem a bit dangerous.

Yes. Aarons, Abeid, Sammy, Perez and Obertan have become important squad players which you wouldnt have thought at the start of the season. Thats 5 players so obviously I now feel we've got a stronger squad than I did at the start of the season. There's still gaping holes in the CB and attacking departments though. When Cisse or Coloccini are out you can see how much we struggle. Slightly less in Cisse's case because Perez has been able to perform but it will become harder for him in the second half of the season as the rest of the league starts to 'figure him out'.

Resting players depends on how many we get back during this period. Are the likes of De Jong likely to get anywhere near to match fitness this month? At the moment the there's barely two or three positions we can shuffle people in.

Doesnt he play for Cardiff? And he's a winger ffs

How perceptive

Wonder where'd they'd be positioned in the table right now if not for De Gea.

When was the last time we got a home draw btw?

Really? He messed up on the goal but he came forward pretty well on a free kick and two corners. I was encouraged considering the situation he came on in.

You dont see his utility in the side? He's never going to be anything other than average but he's important to the way we're playing right now, allowing Sissoko and the wingers to bomb on while mopping up everything in midfield.

Usually accepts when he's beaten though. Proper furious today. Brilliant

Aye he's proper pissed. Makes it all the more better. Wanted 20 minutes of stoppage time apparently
