Suso v Stoke is like me versus Valuev

This is why it is so f***ing frustrating that Cole / Downing come on instead... Suso would piss on their chips, eat them and then say "you havent got any chips" and I like that about him.

Either way Theo isnt looking likely is it. I have all my fingers crossed for Ba and Kaka on loan, this means that Ba will go to Arsenal and Kaka will probably go to Spurs along with Sneijder, I might uncross them...

Sturridge is an excellent signing. Ba now please and Ill be a very happy boy. Would just need this new goalscoring number 10 in the summer then and our attack would be looking s*** hot.

What was great was that we had BOTH Shelvey and Gerrard pushing forward, haven't had that threat for too long. He was excellent, poor Fulham team though.

Due a win in the league here for sure. I'd start the same team with Sterling in for Suso, got a feeling Allen will be back in too though. Really big game for us, got some making up to do after the Villa game.

18 months of s**** and one good performance against a horrific Fulham team. Hopefully added something to his price tag, Id like to see him move on this January and no later.

Yes, 11 of them

Love that.

Dont believe a word skybet say, I was once odds on to get laid

Moneyball = Undervalued players Players not undervalued: Carroll £35m, Henderson £16m, Downing £20m. Players undervalued: Cabaye £4.2m, Ba £0m and anyone else who Newcastle have signed. Sturridge at £12m is probably slightly undervalued from when he was playing regularly last season and performing, but only slightly.

Ince looks a player in the making and Sturridge's record is excellent, good signings... One more please, another goalscorer preferable Walcott or Ba and we are in serious business.

If Downing or Cole start I'll probably punch someone, probably myself. They are useless as attacking players. Assaidi, whats he done wrong? Looked far more effective than the pair of them and Suso too. I'm hoping Allen gets rested and Sahin starts alongside Lucas in his proper role.

Best player ever to play the game.

I think it's an urban myth

This is my favourite, can we do this please?

All we need is goalscorers, get them in January to finish and we are all good. We all knew this was going to happen on September 1st when it seemed we got f***ed over by FSG.

Need a proper striker - those balls into the box when their defence is packed give us nothing - some like Demba Ba in there and you have a chance.

Agree Rich we need those players even more, but yes I think we do need that type of player - that is unless Gerrard can step up to it. Look at our goalscoring from midfield, it is very poor. A goalscoring midfielder to compliment the three forwards is something I think we deffo need.

Not sure what the point is in even guessing, fact is we still need his type of player.

Great options for sure, just missing those goals. For me it should be: Lucas - Sahin/Allen/Henderson Gerrard/Suso/Shelvey With Gerrard, Suso or Shelvey being asked to stay close to Suarez. Playing them in different roles doesn't suit the balance of the team. And what is that position? I dont think we would have signed both Dempsey and Sig, just one and those lot play a lot of different positions: Dempsey/Sig/Shelvey/Suso - attacking mid Allen/Sahin - centre mid Borini/Cole - wide forward

Last season they both did great for goals though, they havent been regulars in that position this season so hard to judge with it being so early in the season too. Shelvey could potentially do it but it means dropping Gerrard, Gerrard seems to want to drop deeper these days and I think he would serve us better staying closer to Suarez.

Scores too many goals. We need an attacking midfielder who can play behind the striker like Stevie used to - this is another position we need to fill with goals, Dempsey can do that and I think that is why we wanted Sigursson too. That is a position we still need to fill for me.

Reina Johnson - Srktel - Agger - Enrique Lucas Gerrard - Allen Sturridge - Ba - Suarez Ince to come on for the last two and finish them off.
