Some of the players are as much to blame as SD for this appalling away record Our ability to retain the ball is almost of schoolboy level and nobody is worse for this than Gray. He made some excellent movement during the game today but he just cannot control the ball. The same can also be said of B...

Imagine he was didn't want to risk him yet. We need his quality up the field though, as our last pass was truly awful today. Brady had plenty of space and a couple of very good opportunities, but his final ball was dreadful - clearly out of form. However, the same can be said of quite a few others t...

I don't get all this Nigel Pearson adoration.

In my mind a very average manager with an ego which is far bigger than his capabilities.

Belgianclaret

Defour should be good to make the bench at least and affect the game if needed.
Would prefer him to start with Barton of course, but no need to rush matters

Didn't he actually have some physio with Lieven Maesschalck?

I'll take those points in turn, Cricket Field Clarets, because you mention a number of myths that now need to be debunked, so regularly are folk expressing them. There's a risk of them turning into perceived wisdom despite the lack of substance behind them. He was about to move to an uncompetetive ...

Although I had my doubts at the beginning, I think Barton & Defour are most compatible at CM

I think you are wrong

Belgianclaret

Certainly not safe yet - at least two more wins required

Belgianclaret

We are still learning and developing

Belgianclaret

Agree with RB partly & also with TVC15 partly. Of course Defour is no player for Spurs & the likes, but he surely is one of the most talented players we've ever had. We are not out of the relegation dogfight by a long while, so we need him back in the team, preferentially next week at Sunderland tog...

We have a flow chart to our away games. And every step of it was followed today. It's the same OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER. Yet you think we had a good day today... you don't have claret tinted glasses, you've had the ******* claret laser eye surgery! And whether it's Liverpool or Sund...

Don't dispair FF - he'll be back and we'll get our first away win next week

Belgianclaret

Positives:

plenty of effort
Defour available again next week
showed we can pass the ball around if we want to

Negatives:

We don't seem to want to pass the ball around...

Belgianclaret

Certainly I'd not make a substitution in the 89th Minute.

Oh wait...

Belgianclaret

Wouldn't be surprised to see Defour & Barton at CM in Sunderland - with Hendrick on the right or as third CM

Belgianclaret

Poor little Arab millionaires of PSG

Belgianclaret

Agree, as said previously he at his best in the engine room at CM

Looking a great player, young central midfielder

Still many good players on the continent who will demand lesser fees.
Not sure whether ABC will allow me to suggest some more though

Lowton was good today.
Their best player is Maguire if you ask me

Belgianclaret

Thanks to all 'other' fellow posters for your input. Just to elaborate a bit: thought we were evenly matched in the first half, but were sloppy with the final deliveries. Second half we didn't create a lot, and were happy to sit back. After the penalty, I thought it was game over, but Keane came to ...

We'll have to up the tempo quite a bit in the second half - looks like a game that's cut out for Ashley

IMO far too much is made of the China link. Not too much going on there now since they've limited the number of foreign players, and he'll be aware now from his friend Witsel that it is basically League One level over there. He's been fair and square about his future, and being at an age of 28-29, i...

Can you summarize that for me please Dave

Belgianclaret

I was thinking the same when watching the game.

Has come along in leaps and bounds and looks a solid performer. Ward was also immense on the other side though.

Belgianclaret

He'll be back defour you know it

OK, I'll fetch my coat

Looking very promising for the moment.
Month of March sees us play many away games if I'm not mistaken, we need to take at least some points from them to be absolutely sure

Deserved man of the match for me - terrific shift

Belgianclaret

"Serious question, why do we have to accept we will always have a lower possession than the opposition team?" Good question, looks like this is not only related to other teams having more quality on the ball but also to the fact that it is part of the SD strategy. Let me add that we're not the only ...
