    Happy with a point!! I'm absolutely amazed we got anything after that tripe. The basic problem was there for all to see. Our formation was all wrong. I'm all for 442 but when it is blatantly not working, change it FFS!

    The persistent one dimensional wing play that creates nothing is getting a joke now.

    And yes Hughton out,! Clueless and one dimensional. If any City fan wants this to continue it is beyond me.

    To be fair, that dimension looks like keeping you in the premier league comfortably. Your team doesn't have the basis of a top 8 side. The players just aren't good enough for that. That's mostly not Chris' fault, as a few of his signings have been your better players. Tonight's game just underlined that we're much closer to the promised land than Norwich. But both need serious investment to improve.

    That's his team though JDP. He can't say that's the team he inherited anymore

    Absolutely spot on! Because we spent 20million people are expecting us to go at sides who have spent twice that on one player.we get done over five nil by The Scousers and it's a disaster,then Everton get done four nil plus a squandered penalty.as you say that one dimension is going to keep us up.Agree it's not great to watch though.

    Looked for you at the game but don't know what you look like when you're not wearing your swimming gear.

    Would have bought you and Dave a beer or two in your club bar, but I only took £80 down with me and at £4.80 a pint for what I get up here for £2.50 it wouldn't have lasted too long.

    Heard Declan Donnelly of Ant and Dec fame was at the game, thought he'd let go of his Newcastle roots a long time ago.
