• Dave, there was also a lack of energy from their supporters. Contrast the noise of our fanatical away fans, or the way we made Goodison a cauldron before the big home wins such as Palace and Bournemouth. Also to Ian's point, like or dislike him, Dyche would never had set up like that for a critical away game when battling relegation. They need to wake up sharpish. ...
  Steve Brown in Premier League — Matchweek 32
• No team has destroyed us more than Liverpool, over the years Brian, but this has never broke me it has just made me more and more determined to see the tables turn one day, similar to what has happened down the M62, in Manchester. I can understand why supporters don’t like them because they are totally nerve-racking, but this should never be the case for the manager and the players, imo mate. Nerves are natural but, It baffles me to understand how any player or manager wouldn’t relish this type of game, simply because it should be what football has always been about. Big games, yes can’t play enough big games ...
  Tony Abrahams in Blues come back twice to claim a point and keep Europe in sight
• I thought it was madness starting with 3 centre forwards Dave. It was a game Spurs had to get something from, so I thought it was naive in the extreme to set up like that. Sunderland are decent at home, and Spurs are all over the place. By all means get three strikers on for the last 20, but starting like that gives you nowhere to go to pick up the pace/impact. Defenders picking up yellow cards like confetti, and an immature midfield. Gray & Bergvall for all the undoubted talent, are not the players to dig them out of that hole. It looks a mess. The players faces told you everything. ...
  Ian Bennett in Premier League — Matchweek 32
• He started against Bournemouth, Paul. His minutes are 21, 61, 17, 3, 1, 16. The short minutes were vs Burnley & Arsenal, so other than those games - plus injury time (that isnt added in the above), Moyes has given him fair minutes to impact. Not that some would support that view.George looks more effective from the bench against tired legs and a game that's opened up. Whilst I don't think Mcneil is an impact sub.But it is a coin flip, of who should start, him or Mcneil. Neither is at level of Ndiaye off the left. And that's where the little box of tricks needs to play....

• Tony 75 I hate derby games as well as Moyes, I don't know any match going fan who likes them be that blue or Red. I am sure its different for the players but for fans its 90 minutes of agony....
  Brian Harrison in Blues come back twice to claim a point and keep Europe in sight
• Watching Spurs yesterday mostly in the second half there was such a lack of movement and energy in their play it was hard to believe they were fighting a relegation battle, I want them to stay up but they will have to perform a lot better than they did v Sunderland in the last few games to stay up....
