Jags. Cant decide whether to tickle Costa or simply try and mark him. Huge decline in his decision making.

 

[bluelife]

Felt just like Wigan QF, RS at the pit last season for a while there. But we are still chance somehow.

Exactly it. The ease of those through balls is frightening and it's exactly what they did last season.

 

[Kev The Rat]

Mcgeady off eto'o on please

 

[rascal]

Jarg in defence, decent in attack. It's never boring is it? lol

 

[loooweee]

looks like clean sheets will be rare this season...

 

[maccavennie]

I'm at work so just glancing but its appears that we've been bossing this match for a while now AMIRITE?

Weve had lots of the ball mate and good moments of play but Jags is having as bad a half as is imaginable and every time they go forward they look like scoring. Luckily we look like we have goals in us as well and that finish before ht might just be the lifeline we need.

 

[GreenTeddy]

Fantastic goal. Beautiful cross, beautiful header. COYB lets have em in the 2nd half

 

[jaspercabbage]

Could easily be game over here, septic at the back.

Its a while since iv seen such a captain look so not arsed playing for his side.

If anyone deserved a goal it was Kev.

COYB

Jags has never been not arsed for us. He is in a run a poor form since coming back from injury and seems to have lost a yard of pace, but not arsed is way off the mark.

 

[toffee matt]

Mirallas is the only player that consistently stands up when things are going against us

 

[Eggs]

...Jagielka's been caught out but he'd still be one of the first names on the team sheet for me.

 

[Matthew mcdonnell]

Naisy should be subbed off. He's too limited as a player to make an impact in this type of games. If only Barkley was fit.

Oh, and Nastasic on for Jagielka please

yeah, sadly agree on that too, just too physical for him to make an impact, especially with their packed defence

 

[davek]

We are doing way better down that right than the left. If we draw win this it'll be via that flank.

 

[Prevenger17]

So error prone. We look sharper than Chelsea in attack despite the scoreline but Jags has looked sluggish indeed. Need Naismith to reach into his hat again.

 

[TyphooToffee]

Great header Kev. Jags deffo needs dropping.

It saddens me to say it, but I agree. That or we need a new defence coach. Trying to play offside without the benefit of challenges (as per tennis/cricket) is a dangerous ploy. The fact that their second goal was offside makes no odds other than to make it harder to swallow.

 

[Jayhow15]

Game on. Poor first few minutes, bit of dodgy keeping from Howard but its there to be won. COYB
