A better performance today. We started a little weakly, but grew into the match and became surer of ourselves. We entered the half time team talks 0-0 but having 2 goals disallowed, one of which im sure should have stood! In the second half we were pegged back immediately by a Wigan goal, but we continued to play our football and scored some great goals to secure the win!

Sensational performance to see off Spurs at home. The Team rallied together and played tremendously. Kadlec and Bendtner linked beautifully and i have no doubt that it will be those two who carry us forward this season. Our home ground really has become a fortress!

We were outplayed and Chelsea showed some quality football, creating tonnes of chances. Yet surprisingly they didnt take their chances, which allowed us to grab 1 point at Stamford Bridge! Saying that, we were denied a great penalty shout which was annoying.

Tell me about it. I was shocked with their formation and line-up!

When im away its a similar formation depending on the team, but if the team is bigger i tend to set the strategy to counter and the tackling to hard and tell the players to press more

A decent game in which Manchester City probably should have won, but an early own goal let us defend more comfortably, and at times sit with 10 men behind the ball.

Considering Swansea played the majority of this match with only ten men, i was disappointed with only a 2-0 victory. Having said that we outplayed Swansea in every department and created chance after chance , and were only let down with some poor finishing!

A good overall performance from the team. They weren't intimidated by the Everton fans at Goodison Park and continued to play their football. We close Everton down and didnt let them into the match much which was good to see.

Keep up that great record!
Can we see your league position?
