It will be Interesting to see how the sturridge/Rondon partnership plays out.

Threadbare aren't we? Still can't see why no Rodriguez.

[rambaggie]

I would have kept in Rodders instead of Rondon. At least he has been on the score sheet recently.

[SwedishBaggie]

This can be a long, hard afternoon. Not much pace overall, is there?

[boingy]

I think Pardew must see a bigger benefit for the strength and hold up play of Rondon benefitting Sturridge in this particular match. No Evans and Gibbs puts us weaker but its still a decent defence.

[holmleighchris]

I would have thought Leko would have made the bench. I'm concerned about this lad. Berahino syndrome?

[SwedishBaggie]

YYYEEESSS, what a start!

[holmleighchris]

I could have headed that in! Good piece of wresting helped.

[BaggiefromStafford]

Great start Hegaz

Bloody hell
