I'm in full blown count the points mode so its a good point - i certainly would have settled for it beforehand. Gabby actually looked like he gave a fuck for a change, wasn't as impressed with N'Zog as some of you but then i don't rate him - he was better, for him. Problem still boils down to the defence - you can't give away 2 goals a game and expect to win unless you have RVP up front.. Peter omyweeble or whatever his name is, should have had a hattrick second half.  Overall, simlar feeling to the Swansea game except we played a bit better. Something to build on hopefully.

I agree with Greg except about NZog. He was great.
And think that Nzog taken off was with an eye to the next game. He, Chris B and Gabby terrified Albion for the first half. The team were firing. What happened at half time?




Still not sure why anyone pays much attention to this Nash fella. As far as I've seen, he's posted pretty mundane, provocative rubbish ever since I've been on here.

Seems like if you speak sense, you're ignored, talk rubbish and people take note.

He should be writing for the Daily Mail.
They're boring as well.


hmmm mundane but provocative. Surely i can't be both?

Why do we ask our best forward to keep defending their best player at a corner.
He is just a kid for fucks sake.

Our best forward didn't play today.
of course he did,if you think you are being clever go and play with somebody else.

Sorry who's being clever?
Not you.

In my opinion Weimann works harder, is more consistent and shows more of a winning mentality than Benteke. Rather than blowing hot or cold he always contributes and works damn hard.

That said when Benteke is on it he's virtually unplayable, I just don't think we see it often enough.

I apologise if that conflicts with your opinion.
Are you just looking for an argument?

No I'm voicing an opinion, if that bothers you then maybe message boards are not for you.
Really?

Yes, I forgot to mention the goals that Benteke has cost us from corners so far too!

Like I said I do rate him I just prefer Weimann.

I don't see what part of that is me looking for an argument, lets just agree to to disagree.
Read my first post again really slowly,read the one you just posted and leave it to the grown up's.

I'm the one looking for an argument though.

Please both stop this or go to PM if need be.

I don't see any problem with what Nash wrote (above). It looks like a sensible assessment of today to me.

CNZ was not injured. Injured players don't sit down on the bench and watch the rest of the game.

Tired? Maybe, but I'd rather have had him on the pitch exhausted than a supposedly fit Holman.

Baker did

For what it's worth Weimann and Benteke would be my first choice forward line.

I think Weimann has played well next to Benteke, the partnership brings the best out of both.

But I agree with you about the corners issue. He would be far more effective up the pitch for them for to hold on to the clearance. At the moment it is Charles left up and all they do is leave pacy fullbacks back to mark him. If Christian was up there as well, one of their stronger fellas would have to stay back with him.

Midfield on Tuesday will be Bannan and Ireland if Delph is injured. Well, I use the word midfield in the broadest possible sense because that is practically non existent.
