If the kids on the bench are not good enough to play when we have a striker crisis, then what the hell are they doing at the club?

Once again dithering dave left it far too late to bring on his subs, Osman and Piennar ran out of steam and either one should have been subbed. Why take off Pip? Why at the start of each half does Arteta gather his mates around and issue orders. Shouldn?t the Manager already have given the instructions out?

Seriously, I?ll be happy with a mid-table finish this season. Oh and Celtic lost today or indeed there is the Sunderland job ? just a thought Dave!

Have we not got someone else to take them to mix it up a bit? Last time I remember someone else taking them when Mickey was on the pitch was Stubbs.

After what has happened this season, this is the best we have played, we just need a striker... Who? Nugent, worth a pop on a loan; Heskey, definite if we could get him although, given our record, no chance; Vagner, can?t afford him, cheap option who would suit 4-5-1: Kevin Davies from Bolton

But honestly what does Lucas Jutkiewicz have to do to get a game? That must surely dent his confidence. His agent should start looking for club for him.

Moyes is a tosser who is really getting on my wick. He finally puts Arteta in the centre but has no balls to make a decent substitution or something a little different.... it's pathetic.

People may say its a knee jer reaction but David Moyes is fucking useless. We have been piss poor since Fiorentina LAST season. How the fuck we are 7th... proves how cack football is nowadays.

Cahill was a passenger and should have been taken off before anyone. No money in January, so same old shite until next summer when our wanker chairman and manager will go through the motions yet again.

If you think about it, start of season bought fuck all, lost loads of players. We got to this point and 3 strikers down lose to a team we?ve had the better of in general play who spent big and were tipped [along with Spurs who we beat last week] to be the main challengers for top 5 spot and we?re gutted. Methinks Mr Moyes has given us HOPE, and that's not bad. Next thing I?ll be singing City's song "Always look on the bright side of life"? Stella, I?ll twat yer ? does that to me!

Cahill seems to disappear in games recently but he had a good chance in the first half. The only thing I don?t forgive Moyes today is that he should have brought Andy van der Meyde 10 mins earlier. What was taking him so long?

By the way, Hull City are not exactly big spenders but look at the Table, DM ? they are ahead of us and will in all probability will finish above us.

As for slating the fans who the fuck does he think he is? I can only hope he calls it a day?

I would just like to wonder where the fuck our scouts where doing when Ashley Young was at Watford?? If we had a player like him then our game would have a totally different dimension about it. I cannot honestly believe Moyes is happy to stick with Osman permanently.

Arteta has looked more like the player of old after being restored to the centre of midfield where he sees far more of the ball. Our biggest problem is why do we always switch off so much? We did the exact same thing against Villa at home in April, against Blackburn on the opening day, how many times before we learn? Why did Jagielka feel the need to go back to the keeper anyway?

I personally hate the way players do that so often as I have lost count the amount of times if you get it wrong it leads to a goal for the opposition. Ferdinand did it for United when Yakubu should have scored only two months ago. You would think after the way we have defended this season that we would be more careful.

Our home form is a major concern and at the minute its only our away record that is keeping us from the relegation zone how long we can keep winning away is another matter but certainly I would think we need to be looking for three points at City again just to get our home form off the hook for another week especially with Chelsea after that.

The saddest thing is right throughout the season we have contributed in most matches to our own downfall and only against Portsmouth and maybe Liverpool have we been beaten well. Even against Standard Leige in the home leg we had only ourselves to blame. The Premier League is competitive but its not great and at the moment we are making teams look better than they really are and we need to really find that consistency quickly.

Jagielka has been great for us but I agree that sometimes when he has the ball in possession he seems nervy and that backpass was just horrific, especially at that time. I thought we looked more like winning than they did, you simply cannot compensate for gaffs like that.

Villa aren't great at all, not by any stretch of imagination, and they may like to think they will break into the top four but having seen them at their best and Arsenal at their best I know who my money would be on but they are not really my concern.

My concern is we gave them the win on a plate like we have with many teams this year. Can anyone see us keeping Chelsea out in the next home match?? I think if we won that one it would be the win of the century. Can't remember the last time Everton went past Christmas with only one home win.

On reflection now, there are defo positives ? Fellaini going to be a top player, Joleon back in the goals, Jags getting his mistake for the season out of the way and Pienaar buzzing around well.

The big negative is Victor?s inability to be anything other than a nuisance off the bench ? worried that Saha will be basically injured all season and that we?ll only get a piss-poor loan signing in January, like Dave Nugent or something.

At least now, 3 hours later, I can speak again...

Alan Codd who the fuck are you? I know a lot more about Moyes and his standing in the game, recognised by fellow professionals ? that?s who the fuck he is. Moyes could have phrased it better but so what ? it was his decision.

What a disaster! Having bust a gut to get back level, to go and do that! They looked like they had all lost it in a desperate effort to get it forward for one last possible chance. (And that?s what we were all yelling at them to do.) There was no-one with a brain switched on to make sure the back door was bolted shut (Phil Neville, where were you?). There was no-one in the right back position, Yobo and Lescott were all over the place and Jagielka was...? Oh Jesus, when are we going to learn from mistakes at the back???

Otherwise, I thought Anichebe did ok and needs a bit of faith shown in him and a run of games before we make our minds up about him. And didn?t you slaggers notice that he was limping and hardly moving for the last 15 minutes he was on? Arteta is in the right place now ? more sharp shorter passes in to forwards feet please, Cahill and Fellaini together? Not sure that one works.

We desperately need a genuine left-sided midfielder though and at the back - 2 from 3 for centre back please and a real left back. What about Howard? Compare to Friedel who made two important saves at vital times. Howard doesn?t seem to do this. First goal, struck hard but it wasn?t out of his reach. Second and third, look at him just before the ball is struck ? already on the floor. Not sure about him.

Oh and nice cameo from unknown shaven-headed winger at the end. Who the fuck was he? And some shooting from outside the area would be nice once in a while.

Finally, had a bet for Cahill to score first in a 2-1 win. For 31 seconds I thought I was in with a chance....

Anyway, that's not the be-all and end-all... we played well. I thought Ossie was poor and Vic was not on same wavelength, Jags cocked up but he has been superb this season. Scoreline apart, the performance is going in the right direction.

My disappointment is with those individuals who are inconsistent and do not deliver 100 %. If I performed that way in work my P45 would be rammed down my throat.

Regarding Mr Moyes, we should and will stick by him (I don't know who else that is better would come as manager). I just hope we can bounce back against City, Thank God it's away. Good Luck COYB
