Are there any strippers at half time, make it worth the trip for the loyal 3,000 yids?

Its the hatred towards the punters that really makes it rain...

The media hype Townsend up. I've seen little to suggest he isn't any better than a Simon Davies/Matt Etherington. I read somewhere he has 1 goal and no assists in the league this year. This from an 'England star'. Again he wouldn't get anywhere near a team in top 4. Sterling light years ahead.
Sterling has had the benefit of being coached by someone who knows what they are doing.

Could have been a different game if Soldado had put that chance away.
Groundhog day with that statement unfortunately.

Wasn't tooooooo bad, attacking is just been not good.. Soldado should've scored, Townsend doesn't know what to do, Lennon I am being told is on the pitch, Bentaleb's back pass should've been better... I dare someone to have a shot from just outside the area though

If Townsend comes out for the second half
I'm gonna watch the one show, he's fucking lost everything tonight, useless. ....

Boooooo. It's just fucking shit watching us play. So mediocre it's unreal. Don't know why I expected anything different today given the line-up.
You shouldn't have done really. Benfica look a classy side. We've got a makeshift side.

Reminds me a lot of Adam Johnson. Potential to be great but ultimately undone by hype and lack of quality.

We have 8 players doing reasonably ok, Soldado is trying but his missed chance blots his copybook, Lennon and Townsend however...

Too much chopping and changing players and positions. Defensively it was forced upon. But higher up the pitch we never pick a player in the same role 2 games running. Makes us even more disjointed than we already are.

How many goals and assists did he get last year?


I'll give you a hint....he didn't score any more than Vertonghen
He played 34 games, and when he was injured about this time last season everyone was crying on here. More importantly our results were affected too.

I said integral, not he scored lots of goals.

If only we had a young creative talent who has played in a World Cup, has Champions League experience and has developed a winning mentality by being in a side that won three league titles in a row. Oh well.
I'd like to think we're resting him for the weekend. We'll need him then.

Adam Johnson has done a fair bit more in terms of consistent productivity unfortunately... Townsend talks a good game, but then so does Danny Rose.. have they improved over the season though..
