Re: Shayyy Given

He is the dogs bollocks. Joe may be the future, but good move loaning him to Brum, I wouldn't swap Shay for anyone.

Re: Shayyy Given

He was quality today once again proved he his one of the best keepers in the premier league.

aaah big win boys!!!

war worried a bit about the fixture but we kept the clean sheet as well.

Ireland was poor but..

I thought Stevie had a poor game by his standards. And this should tell us something. All players even the best have poor games.

But up he pops with a great goal at the death.

So the next time Richards, Dunne, Robinho don't have great games lets give them support rather than a slagging.

The defence played pretty well considering we didn't have much midfield control.

And well done the ex gooners who both made a massive difference.

Given too. Without him it could have been another embarrassing away day.

The thing that should please us all is the bench. De Jong, Tevez, Petrov, Weiss etc

Re: DUNNE V TOURE

ok ok, stats mean shit right . . .

But i found this interesting!

Dunne: 2 clearances, 0 successfull tackles

Toure, 9 Clearances, 2 Successfull Tackles

I like the player stats on the official site, it says alot to me, although most would disagree.

Also

Wayne Bridge: 40 Successfull Passes
Micah Richards: 16 Successfull Passes.

your thoughts?

i thought the only areas where we looked vunerable today was at right back and on the left when robinho was on the pitch. and bridge got a bit exposed, this changed when bellamy went left and tevez came on
richards for me is still not looking right for some reason not the player he was hope he comes good though
robinho is not suited to working back as we know but is still a world class talent going forward but i feel he may be the one who will miss out often especially away from home

Post-match thoughts:

GET IN!!!

Not the most thrilling of displays but it was a perfect away performance.
