  1. Ferguson is good to have as an impact sub. His effectiveness is muted to an extent when he is started. In attack he is better coming from a deeper defensive position, except defensively he is positionally quite poor so there-in lies the dilemma. He's not as effective playing as an actual side midfielder, perhaps he could work playing as a winger in a 4-3-3. Has to continue with the effective cameos in league games and solid performances in cup games to earn the right to start. All of my observations are made with relatively limited exposure to seeing him play - as would be the case for anyone who has only watched our first team games (and one or two reserve matches). Jonas has not been at his best for the last run of games, but people are so quick to forget... earlier in the season spare one game he was consistently amongst our top performers. IMO our team is struggling from not having a set formation with well defined roles. We have Perch doing his best switching from fullback to holding midfield, likewise with Anita.. Jonas and Cabaye don't have the defined roles they once had - and IMO only Ben Arfa can perform favourably in a formation where the midfield can roam. Tiote has been mostly poor when he's played, which is not often enough. The stability that we had at the start of last season has not been there this year both in the personel and the structure, and they are logically the primary reasons why we've been quite laboured and haggard through many of our matches.
  2. He's had some decent games in defense but it's the technical ability and passing of Coloccini coming out of defense that we'll miss most - plus the fact that we look so much better positionally with him out there, generally improves the composure of the entire team.
  3. In all honesty we're lucky to get a point there. Coloccini's red is really really going to hurt us given we have a run of games coming up where we should be collecting some points.
  4. Fuck! Red for Coloccini. Deserved. Probably.
  5. Cisse had more time than he realised there.
  6. Ba's first touch is generally much better than Cisse's. Excellent block from Taylor there. We're giving them too much space.
  7. Shelvey embarrassingly poor there, spared some blushes for us.
  8. Touch of the Shola's from Sammy... But somehow it's a corner...
  9. Sterling kicking out from the ground twice there, impetuos little twat.
  10. Not even a yellow for that. Tiote would have seen red.
  11. Ba goes off with a knock replaced by Ameobi. Oddly enough HBA borrows Ba's gloves... Cutbacks eh.
  12. Sprinkler went off in the stands... Can't be too much fun...
  13. Nice time to get the goal (but what time isn't...). They look like they should be better than they are, but some real show ponies in their side still lacking leadership and potency in the final third. Carrying a few players who aren't particularly good by the looks as well.
  14. Great goal!!!!! Wonderful mazy run... And the finish from Cabaye!
  15. Couldn't half see that challenge coming from Jimmy.
  16. Good string of passes. That's what we'll need to do more often to slow their initial enthusiastic closing down.
  17. Suarez has to be one of the most detestable players in the history of the game.
  18. Mainly the ability to house 4 drives (as opposed to 2 in the 212j) it also has a faster CPU and more RAM. The j series is the more budget series so the 4 bay one doesn't look as nice as the others - but it's not ugly.
  19. You should separate yourself from other conspiracy theorists post haste. People on here are honestly trying to help you. People on there will feed your delusions and paranoia. You've said you're not on drugs and have never used drugs, well I have news for you, the forums and discussion boards that you frequent are your mind altering substance.
  20. When you think about it and question things, wouldn't it be logical to believe an explanation that makes sense? It seems to me that you're discounting satellites to support theories that you believe (certainly not your own theories) about the faking of the moon landing, inability to travel in space etc etc. I'm not going to continue with this because it's pointless, though it was mildly entertaining for a while. Genuine question, and of course you don't have to answer it if you don't want to - Do you have a history of recreational drug use?
