Kojo

Don't know how he had a bad game, I've just managed to watch the full game and I thought his work rate was very impressive, he cut out passes and caused Baines many problems. I don't know how he hasn't scored yet mind I really don't. But when we first signed him I knew it was a good signing because of his anticipation, that's twice he's caught players out now already, he caught out Howard and Dante. Dante was just an ordinary slip but Schurrle was there regardless.

We need to rotate with Ramires like big time, it's why we need another midfielder because Ramires can be contained and teams know how to deal with him. You put enough pressure on Ramires and he will give the ball away, even if you give him space he will more than likely give the ball away. I think he's one of the best ball winning midfielders in the league, he is brilliant at that but as a footballer he is so weak at times. His weak technical ability costs us big time, he ruins the flow within our team. You might think this is just a minor thing but it really isn't, what he does has big impact on the team.

Oh my word, how the hell did Stoke not win that match? Man City didn't even create one chance, Kenwyn Jones should be ashamed!

Wow no exaggeration. No wonder you get so many people who bash Mikel, when there are posts like yours in here.

It's one game, get over yourself.

I don't know what that means but I'm going to LIKE IT anyway!

Zolayes I don't think it's been a better time to start telling members that they should go get an EDUCATION ATTACK ZOLAYES ATTACK

Can you please start posting on here a lot more?

No he just predicts the result, because he's some sort of psychic you see.

Stop it, all you've been doing is baiting for arguments, first thing you did in the match thread was pull the 'oh if mikel did this we would still hate him' just stop with the bull shit it's getting irritating.

Stop moaning, there where only two people who had a bash at Mikel there where about 6 that praised his performance. Again with the 'likes' seeking.

Oh jesus, look if you have a problem with me James just put me on ignore, because I'm not in the mood for all the sarcastic comments that everyone loves to quote me on. I am saying that there is positives despite how frustrating the result was, I'm grateful that now we don't lose like we did 2 seasons ago when we would actually get completely outplayed and embarrassed, today we where unfortunate but at the same time deserved to lose.

Give him time, he was causing problems but the final ball was always just a tiny bit off. Everton road there luck and they got the win. I can't see this getting in Eto's way. Which is a good thing because if it was Torres, he wouldn't score for the next 10 games.

We just need time as a team, honestly I would much rather lose when we could've won 5-0 rather than being outplayed and lucky to lose 1-0. As frustrating as that can be at least we can have something to work on.

It's our 4th game of the season, I'm not concerned. I still think we will do well this season, roll on Basel.

I missed most of the game, I could only watch the first 30 minutes, only just got back now. Gutted about the result, fucking Naismith of all people. I didn't like him when I was watching, I saw 2 flaws from him already but it seems like he had a good game overall. How was the game anyway? wrong thread to ask but yeah.

He didn't have the cover, Cole managed to close down the right wing back Osman? if he had played that through Naismith would have been left loads of space, not something we need when we have a hungry Jelavic who seems really up for it, one good cross and Jelavic can score.

No Hazard was infront of him at the time, it was a quick counter, Mikel didn't track Naismith creeping behind Cole because Cole had to go towards the player. WATCH IT.

We are playing a lot better now, very good save from Howard aswell.

Mikel cover cole for fuck sake

Fucking hell, reminds me of the Oscar situation.

Mikel once again gets skinned, this is our key player?

Ramires once again gives the ball away pointlessly, of course no one will say anything because he is criminally underrated.

Anyone watch the City game how where they? From what I've heard on redcafe stoke should've won.

Are you joking me? They haven't been good this game, Sunderland had a goal disallowed to make it 2-2, and should of scored 2 more after that. Arsenal will be competing for 4th place like they always do.
