I was last time, so trying to be as nervous as possible for this. But yeah its hard

Sign all the Neymars and Bales you want, I dont think there's a player I enjoy watching more than Iniesta. Not at his best today but

Real a bit unlucky in the second half there. Bale was absolutely nowhere to be seen.

To be fair I think Busquets is underrated if anything, the diving part of his game doesnt help. Its funny how often that 'he's got great players around him' argument gets thrown around for Barca players, and for how many of them. Circular reference and all.

Also good to know those sort of promises to the young ones are being kept by the club.

Yup they just need some consistency. I believe Mbiwa can come good to eventually.

Missed the game. Seems like everyone put in a great shit and its a point I would have gladly taken before the match, let alone with 10 men.

Aye. You cant have 8 top players injured and expect the same quality on the bench.

I can see Pards aiming for about 4 points from that run in, maybe 5. Heck I'd take 4 to be honest

Confirmed- he's not playing. Not great news that.

Brilliant effort from Bosnia. This is what makes football special

Rumours about Colo being unfit for this one. Hope thats not true, we're likely to ship another 3-5 goals if it is.

We're already playing with 3 central midfielders.......

Suarez and Sturridge will make him go around in so many circles there'll be a freakin tornado on the pitch. Yeah he did alright at Cardiff apart from that gaffe, but thats just it, he's quite likely to do something similar again.

Perch?

Wasnt that funny when it happened though

Aye, I was just thinking there'd be a riot here if West Ham did that to us. Not trying to defend some of our performances, but its a crazy crazy league these days.

The result at White Hart Lane is a shocker considering how the two clubs have started the season. The league is more unpredictable than ever. Or perhaps competitive would be a better word here.

Im just about satisfied, after having gotten into my head that we have no ambition whatsoever. We'll survive but expect nothing special while Ashley is here. Simple as that.

Well said. Spot on about Mapou, Gouffran and Ben Arfa. Liverpool is going to be a huge test. Their free flowing attack with both Sturridge and Suarez in form is going to prove a real tester for the any defensive improvements we may try to make during the next couple of weeks. Although having said dont we already spend the majority of training on defence?

It was Henry-esque

He's having a decent season so far.

Supposed to be highly rated, obviously you can see why now after tonight. Slightly like HBA in the way he runs with the ball too. Sunderland really are shite, Man U didnt even need to move past the second gear to beat them. Then again they were shite before the derby last season too

Santon and Sissoko were the frustrating ones for me today. Both missed plenty of simple passes. Santon caught out of position a fair few times too, as usual. Still funny though how some people have had a dig at Debuchy and not him, because I didnt see Debuchy do much wrong today. Cisse was better on the whole, worked harder and the hold up play was a bit better. Just wish he would find a premiership goal from somewhere. Lucky for us Remy is banging them in at the moment.
