El Nenny bullied off the ball several times already, looks light weight.

How did Gibbs worm his way into becoming a professional footballer?

It all started with a simple ball into our box that Gabriel slices out for a corner. From there the usual keystone cops bullshit occurs leading to the inevitable moment we concede from a header. Seen it all before.

Sadly, that was easier to predict than the Lottery!

I was cussing Gabriel for that, it should at least have been up the pitch. Burnley looking really strong now.

Just saw the goal again. What a fucking coward Gabriel is, didn't even face the ball let alone attack it the spineless fuck.

We don't get a good percentage ratio of passes in. We have given the ball away so many times. And why are we so unable to be more direct going at goal? And as I'm on my soapbox, why can't we take bloody corners? :banghead:

First game I put on my both teams to score coupon - never in doubt with the goalkeeper, back line and CDM positions we were going to pick. Cheers lads

Giroud seems to be on the left a lot, surely he should be in the middle to head the ball in the net.

How many times have we put a dangerous ball into the box only to see absolutely fucking nobody in there to finish it off. Everyone lined up on the edge of the box to go tappy tappy. TOILET.

Didn't see the first 35mins, had the Dragon moaning at me to repair the back fence, i'm guessing i didn't miss a vintage performance then :rubchin:

The only positive is Iwobi. Very good player at this early stage in his career. Will be ahead of Chamberlain in the pecking order soon enough.

I'd rather watch you mending the fence rather than watch this back line of ours

Remember this is the same manager who played Flappy in the FA Cup Final in the full knowledge that he was leaving....

Just found a stream that works and seen their goal.....dear me. That was like watching that fateful day at OT when we lost 6-1 with Stepanovs and Luzhny - our leaden footed defenders this time getting rinsed by Sam Vokes as opposed to Yorke and Sheringham !
