Pienaar injured again? Absolute joke that lad lately if he's crocked again

Aye looks like he isn't fit. Frustrating like.

S'Land playing with 2 up top? Should mean more space in midfield for our silky passing game to take hold. As long as we don't have one of our "can't handle long punts through the middle" days we should be ok I reckon #kissofdeath

Didnt mean it literally, he's no good at holding the ball up. Meant more he has to be the focal point of out attack, need to get him involved as much as possible!

Too true, I know he was offside but we played 2 through balls to him on Thursday and slotted them both.

...Rodwell not getting a game. Strange how things have worked out and something for any young player to keep in mind if City call.

Atsu to make impact off the bench

To describe someone as getting injured as a joke is a bit much mate. He's always taken a lot of knocks through the years and unfortunately it's catching up with him now. Martinez is obviously just giving him a rest - he'll probably be hitting a beach somewhere over the international break - hopefully have him back fully fit after the international games.

Not on tv?

We are not part of the Sky Club

Another tight display at the back please blues

pity ye mar isn't tight at the back lad

Swap McGeady for Mirallas and Stones for Distin, that's our strongest team.

Can't wait till we've got a full squad it'll be boss.

Happy with that 11 though.

As I said earlier I think we've seen the best of him, sadly. However when he is fit his interplay, especially with Baines is a beauty to behold at times. He is however someone we need to replace as a priority either in January or the summer. Sad to see him go, we've seen some boss footy from him but I think his time is more or less up now.

I watched Mcmanamon play for Wigan last night just by chance looks just as good should have had him instead of Kone and the Birdman in hindsight!

Redmond be the better option from that league.

I really would like us to go for him in Jan.

Dithering Davie had him in his sights too

Getting excited now!

Loving that lineup we've selected here. Decent pace and players with great techinical ability going forward, players with the intelligence to link our midfield and forwards as a unit.

Looking forward to seeing how they play together here
