We're doing okay , but that's all so far.

We've looked a bit unbalanced at the back since Richards's departure , but are just about coping ...... we don't look too bad in midfied , De Jongs done okay , is holding things together , but then gave the ball away twice in five seconds before half time ...... Robinho not really getting into the game enough , and would probably have scored if he'd taken his second chance with his left foot , instead of tryin' to manouvre it onto his right ...... nice try with the backheel for his other 'half-chance' though !

A bit worrying that we are unable to get enough people into the box whenever we do manage to get the ball in ....... only Ireland in there at one point to cope with Bellamys cross.

But so far , so good ........ Givens handling has been competent in what he's had to do ...... but we really need to liven up in the final third if we're to steal this game in the 2nd half.

that indonewyork stream was looking good but has gone off air now :-/

EDIT: correction - working again

Gotta give Boj at least half an hour.....give Caicedo 15 mins then make the switch.

Anyone have a better link than iraqgoals ?

HT 0-0

Got pissed of with iraqgoals so switched to sopcast which is much better although a minute behind.

Which channel on sopcast mate ?

Channel - 71091

So happy I don't have to stream this one. Being a student I'm paying too much as it is for digital cable channels, but days like these it's really worth it. :)

Caecido looks very poor today - i know he was the sub but Hughes must start thinking about replacing him sometime in the second half with the Boj.

haha how can you judge him so soon? hes only been on the pitch 10 minutes.

No he hasn't - he has been on since the 15th minute - not won a header yet and not controlled the ball - he has looked lazy and not interested - that is how i can judge him clown

You're a fucking idiot then. He's not "won a header" because there has been little pumped directly up to him.

Give him a fucking chance you clown

I really don't why people are moaning Hughes has set his stall out not to lose by naming all those defensive midfield. The only change that has come has been enforced by Richards injury. I would have taken at draw at the start of the game and would still take one now and I think that is precisely what Hughes is doing so get over it.

I see where you're coming from but these are the sort of away games we are capable of winning. A win today puts us right up the table.

I think some of need a reality check we've been piss poor all season away from home and won 1 all season I think that tells you why MH is not gonna go for it away from home. Sometimes you've just gotta accept that the way things are

 

[JamesTenOne]

Problem with having Caceido on is that we seem to be simply lumping it at him. He's constantly got his back to goal. I think I might have put Elano on instead and played him out on the right. Ah well, hopefully we'll improve in the second half.

 

[Richard]

We have had the better of the chances ( the two Robinho ones) but have been nowhere near our best. Thourghts go to Behrami, that looked a shocker.

You are kidding right??? Dunne, Zabaleta and sometimes Kompany have played about 10 long balls to him and he has lost every header!!!
And stop your 'fucking idiot' quotes and grow up
