    Is left wing as he likes to cut in, he’s more than capable of playing right wing though.

    We should be all over Anderson and get him in. He’s a class CB.

    I can't agree I think he was the worst player on the pitch.. he usually is.

    Today suggests otherwise.

    Play him in his best position.

    That was last season, that game was over a year ago. They also beat us 20 years ago.

    You were talking about ETH being crucified by the press, then said but they beat us....he wasn't crucified in any way last season, it's because of this season.

    To be fair he was trying to accommodate Barnes

    He’s getting crucified and yet he’s going better than Howe.

    That’s not really difficult to understand

    Either way he's ahead of us and in a Cup Final. The point for me is we can't edge ahead of a very poor Man U and have lost 10 times on the road. I understand away fixtures are tough, but losing 10 (and counting) is very, very poor.

    You can’t do that though. Really. Shift our best left winger who has performed all season. To right wing.

    So a player who has been injured?

    Wow!

    The fact that expectations at Man U are significantly higher, they have spent far more, had far less injuries and made a succession of disaster signings, is also not difficult to understand.

    Yeah it's pretty straightforward when players are on fire in a certain position.... like I said earlier Howe didn't get that right.

    The set up didn't work unfortunately and neither did his changes when they eventually came.

    On to the next one.

    Barnes was dreadful Tonight ... I'm beginning to think Roland was right about him... 45 million looks way too high... a guy that can shoot but nothing else.

    Nope. That’s bullshit. They have fallen below us. Last season proves that. And we if we have ambition should be going above.

    Your defending something you don’t even agree with.

    Why these constant comparisons to Man U? The fact everyone's whining we're not above them is more indicative of how much they have fallen, not how bad we are. Considering the season, 7th would be a decent finish for us, which shows us building and consolidating. Man U's situation now shows how far they've fallen from regularly expecting to win the league.

    Least he only had to go round the corner. Poor ****ers going from Newcastle to London on a Wednesday night to watch that steam of ****. I mean if it ended say 3-2. Fair enough, but 2 shots on target in the last 10 mins, not good enough.

    I agree with this aswell. That’s my concern that he is a one trick pony.

    It was as if he wasn’t on the pitch tonight. He didn’t do anything of any note. And I’m happy to be put right here.

    Tonight’s performance is a huge concern.

    You would think that, doesn’t make it fact though. At least he got in the box and got what should have been a penalty.

    Shocker I'm the sense they used to regularly win the title.
    Shocker in the sense they finished 3rd last year and won a cup.

    Man U ain't our yard stick .
