J Rod is a centre forward and Rondon isn't so......

Could not agree more Mick apart from one thing! Thought Nyom was a class act though along with Barry today as he did not lose hardly anything and it was his assist that created the goal!

I fully agree about Nyom Al.

As someone else pointed out though,Livermore is starting to concern me.

If he's an England player then so am I.

Phillips was crap as well.

Hegazi was excellent up until he f k d up and its a mistake I don't expect him to make again anytime soon.

If we play Nyom, and I think we should, it should be at right back. He is much more comfortable in that position, is sound in defence and a threat going forward. I'm happy with Dawson in the centre of our defence whether it is with McCauley, Hagazi or, hopefully, Evans. As so many fans keep saying, we need to sign a proper left back.

Nyom & Dawson performing best in their natural positions? don't let TP hear you saying that!!

Absolutely agree though, we should only sign a CB if we lose Evans & instead concentrate on a proper LB

Quite interesting that Stoke, supposedly by some playing Barcelona-esque football, only threatened and scored (and scored because of a dreadful mistake by us, by a player having a good game until that moment) when they brought on Crouch and resorted to route one football lifting high balls to the tall man.

I like Hegazi but I cannot agree that he was excellent prior to the miss kick.

He was pulled out of position far too easily on a number of occasions during the second half, by Shaqiri in particular.

This was largely due to Brunt being out of position, while this was no fault of Hegazi's, his recoveries were often too slow and left us vulnerable to crosses into the middle.

Not a moan, just an observation.
