2015/16 Barclays Premier League Thread

Benitez got his tactics spot on today - Tiote was very good - Colback was excellent back in his best position - Wijnaldum and Sissoko were much improved - and thankfully Shelveywas fucked off.

Luckily survived Shelvey coming on and being absolutely shite. - hopefully he'll get a tree match ban.

To be fair, I guess it was easy pre-match to read the teamsheet think "WTF is this?". But it sounds like the selection worked enough to get the points over the line, and at least we got Sissoko playing like a professional footballer for once. So can't say fairer than that.

I think you might disappointed on Shelvey though - he'll start at least 2 more games before the end of the season.

You been living in a hole for the past 8 months or so?

Really though I think most people have already agreed that this trumped #moyes.

With any luck Man City will go back to their usual pattern for Tuesday night.

To be fair, I guess it was easy pre-match to read the teamsheet think "WTF is this?". But it sounds like the selection worked enough to get the points over the line, and at least we got Sissoko playing like a professional footballer for once. So can't say fairer than that.

I think you might disappointed on Shelvey though - he'll start at least 2 more games before the end of the season.

Also noted a return to four four fucking three, - 4-2-3-1 just doesn't work at Newcastle. And I'm not sure it does for most clubs. - 4-3-3 is so simple - Tiote congests the space in front of the centre backs - Coback and Sissoko allowed to press higher and hassle higher up the pitch - a return to when we were winning games before Pardew left.

Also Towsensd is incredible - Montero v Anita was a mismatch - but he offered so much help and protection to stop Montero getting the one on one. Fantastic by Townsend.

We'd have lost today if we didn't bring Mitrovic on.

Lescott describing relegation as a "weight off the shoulders", what a twat. Then goes on to say "we can give these fans what they deserve, some performances". He obviously isn't very intelligent is he? That's like saying we've achieved relegation, now its time to try and win.

Kouyate header hitting both posts and not going in pretty much sums the luck the Foxes be having, nevermind Leicester now leading through a very good quality counter-attack.

Boyhood Villa fan, my arse. There's been some overpaid, clueless morons in that team this season, and with words like that, he's establishing himself as pretty high up that chain. If I was a Villa fan, I'd be demanding should be dropped and never seen wearing an AVFC top again.

Still, he's got a new car.

Firmino scores and celebrates wildly!

Sturridge sounds the difference in this Liverpool reserves and Bournemouth game.

Not really, Ojo, Smith and Ibe have been our best players in the first half. Ojo especially

Well, I can only go off what I hear. On 5 live extra, Claridge (oh how I hate him) is eulagising over him and saying how he has to go to the Euros etc.

Glad to see Smith play, hope he starts more games next season as he is already better than Enrique!

Well... Vardy's dismissal makes things interesting.

My first thought was that it wasn't a dive... but who knows.

Liverpool grab a 2-1 win, 2-0 up and coasting and still trying to blow it late on.

Be interesting to see how Leicester are without Vardy the next game or two.
