    I so enjoy watching Aguero play.

    Sterlings step overs were so quick for his goal. Wish he would play like that in an England shirt once.

    Best we nail Martin Olsson's feet to the dressing room as the January window approaches <yikes>

    "West Ham are without a recognised left-back for this afternoon's game after Arthur Masuaku joined Aaron Cresswell on the sidelines with a knee injury."

    Can't we offer them Whittaker? Apparently he's as comfortable at LB, and he is at RB.

    ...Which I don't personally see as a complement to the lad, but still...

    I'm fully sold on the concept - now all you have to do is convince Slaven Bilić <yikes>

    Once again being there I don't agree. Burton didn't park the bus, which left our fullbacks plenty of room to get forward and score a goal each. That may have given the impression that the defence was a bit stretched. Granted it was not one of Klose's better games. Howson and Dorrans look a lot better now the are playing in their best positions, and both contributed in defence.

    Just how it sounded, what both the commentators kept saying, the live text off BBC and some Twitter comments I read. Listening to it, the game never felt safe until Pinto's goal, even though we had so many chances to put it to bed.

    Apart from the penalty save, CJ's effort was well saved by the keeper, Brady hit the side netting after some superb build-up play and Wes got swamped on the 6 yard line, so could easily have 5 or 6-1.
    For all those who say we should have won by a bigger margin, I think it was one of Burton's heavier defeats. Also, I wonder how many posters were actually at the game!!!!!
    For those who live in or near Norwich, tickets are available for the Rotherham game are on general sale at£18 - #bargain

    Bradley Johnson unused sub for Derby's last match a side very near bottom of Championship. How the mighty have fallen for both player and team who were 5th last season. But this can't compare to both Portsmouth and Blackpool who now languish in League 2.

    As I said previously, the first game for quite a while where we looked like a team playing for each other. By the fact that we were creating so many chances and they weren't, I never thought we were in danger. #bumdidntsqueak

    Maddison scores for Aberdeen with a glorious free-kick. I have a feeling we might need to get him back in January if he keeps scoring and turning in impressive displays

    I'd prefer cheating Bournemouth to be bottom!

    I'd have him on the bench and bring him on regular like a Murphy. Start him when players need rest or get niggles.
