It's too convenient to blame it all on Sami, Carragher and even Finnan have been shocking lately.

I think the man we're missing most is Tevez - we should have moved hell and high water to get him last summer. Instead we got a free transfer from Bayer Leverkusen.

Agree with this, he was reckless today and it could/should have cost us.

Fantastic - thought this was a message board for fans? I'll wait 'til Rafa logs in and let's us know his thoughts then.

Got to be...Gary Mac-ca, Gary, Gary, Mac-ca...

The slating and sarcastic jokes that Riise gets from some on here really pisses me off - best supporters in the world? not sometimes.

That was worryingly dire. I miss Li'l Luis in games like this.

Thought it was absolutely quality how for 50 odd minutes he got kicked off the park, got nothing from the referee, but didn't lose focus or his temper and ended up with a hat-trick. This guy's the real deal.

Bravo

It kinda f***s me off that we've lost top spot without having it dragged away from us our losing it despite our best efforts, we've just given it away by picking a poor team.

He was and then had a strop when he was substituted. Wouldn't bother me at all if he did leave.

It would definitely be a slap in the face if he went to Man U or Chelsea, and my estimation of him as a person would plummet.

Is the Italy v France game on any of the stations?

Everyone keeps going on about our great start to the season, but to me it's got as much to do with the fixture list as anything - last year we had Chelsea, Bolton and Everton away early on whereas this season our start has been comparatively easier. Pako leaving is disappointing and I hope he stays, but Rafa leaving would be a disaster and I'm sure we'll bring in someone equally good to replace Pako if we need to.

I just like the work-rate and competitiveness he's got alongside his talent - our first goal today came after he just didn't give up on the ball a bit earlier on in the move that led to the goal.

He's always injured - we missed out on Heinze but there's still time to swap him for Silvestre.
