Santon on for Colo. I'm guessing Perch will move into central defense?

Need absolutely no complacency.

Pardew: how about 6?

Fortune is playing on Leon Best's line - constantly offside that is.

Loves a cripple tbh.

Williamson looks a solid defender when the ball doesn't go anywhere near his feet.

Camera men really fancying Pardew here.

How long before he's fart sniffing?

Interesting ball from Krul there....

Papiss again! Sneaky reverse from Ba and Ben Arfa with a second assist. Was a very good finish from Cisse with the ball a little behind him. His finishing is very clinical.

To be fair our defense had stopped as the flag was up early.

Thomas rolled Simpson far too easily then.

Nice tackle Perch.

Simpson struggling to stay on his feet.

Good defensive header by Jonas.

...and high.

Perch's wang with the block.

'twas lovely, great counter attacking goal the kind man utd would frequently score when Ronaldo and Rooney were together.

How can this guy not have been in he side earlier? His per-minute rate for assists and goals is fantastic.

Our midfield controlling the game at the minute for the most part. Yesssss Hatem Ben Arfa!!! Too easy!

Papissss! Nice feed by Jonas to HBA wih a great early ball from Hatem across the face.

The Jimmy the Fish worry-o-meter is back. There will be repercussions.

It's more likely that Pardew will play Perch at fullback than Ferguson, though I'd probably rather Feguson. All of that is assuming Simpson is out. Fergusons positioning has been very ordinary when he has played. He likes to push too far up the pitch - probably because he's not a natural defender. Perch's positioning is worse, and he's far less talented on the ball. Santon is no defensive powerhouse either so we'll be up against it as West Brom love to score against us.

That was some goal from Crouch.
