    I was quite happy to say he wasn't up to scratch a few weeks ago but honestly today some of his 1 touch passing was beautiful. He didn't even need to look at times, just sort of knew the space that people would be running in to. He made several cutting runs and was our biggest goal threat today too imo. I really can't see how you could score him lower than Ba.

    I did see it maybe once or twice but still not enough to warrant him having a particularly good game, Ba got his name on the scoresheet and dropped very deep to help out in midfield and surprisingly at the back, that adds up to more in my book but of course the ratings are everyone's opinion.

    I'm waiting until we've played a few teams outside of the big 4 to judge whether Barfa is worth having in the team, because so far I'm mildly impressed.

    I think it's a good thing he's being started properly in these tough games, he's a quality player so putting him in against the best will hopefully up his game quicker and he can start tearing the likes of Norwich a new arsehole in the coming weeks.

    anyone see perch's effort on (our) goal from 40 yards???



    too drunk to do ratings, but for me steven taylor and krul were MOTM and Simmo was our weakest player. also, the ref was horrendously biased towards man u, luckily the linesman saw what he was doing and evened it out :D

    I hope so, I really do, I'm not just giving him grief for the sake of it I generally don't think hes been up to scratch, I'd love nothing more than to see him start tearing teams apart, but at the minute I'm just missing Best, because I think he offers more in terms of link up play with Ba and work rate.

    Perch also made an outstanding last ditch tackle on Ashley Young who was going to tap the ball into an empty net.

    Hey give the lad a break, he is like a fish out of water coming on against Man U when we are a man down.

    I'd like to see HBA and Ba in some easier games together, because in fairness I don't imagine Ba & Best could have done much more against the two Manchesters than Ba & HBA. Ba has had a few chances handed to him on a plate by HBA in these last two games and he's failed to convert them.

    I still do agree that HBA isn't entirely up to scratch yet, but I think he's definitely getting there and hope he'll continue to get starts so he gets to 100%.

    Yeah It was Taylor. Perch wasn't even on the pitch when he did it.

    On another Topic didn't Taylor start off with his mask, why'd he take it off..

    He probably saw the light and realised it was the equivalent of having a massive bullseye target on his face. That is, presuming he is an idiot like the commentator on the stream I had on.
