A brilliant performance from the team. I was especially delighted at how the front men combined so well. Kadlec and Bendtner were in complete control, and the opposition defence could not handle them. The defence also worked their socks off to ensure we didnt let out good work upfront go to waste. Joaquin was particularly effective on the right flank to provide great service for the two front men

A surprisingly tough match! Bolton played well and came at us hard. We started well, but couldnt make anything count, after which Bolton scored and made us pay for out mistakes! I was preparing ourselves for a loss after we entered the last 5 minutes 1-0 down. But we rallied well and really pushed hard at the end, and forced errors from Bolton to grab a lucky win! Richardson was brilliant today scoring and creating a goal.

Wes Brown out for 2-3 months with a torn hamstring

A brilliant performance. We were all over Newcastle today, and we're once again proving that the Stadium of Light is our fortress! Bendtner scored two great goals, but man of the match could have easily gone to Cattermole, who was sublime in the middle, setting up two goals. A great all round performance!

Tactical Details

This is how ive set up my 4-4-2 and the team tactics i use for it

Just noticed that you are doing amazing. I might of made a mistake but have you not lost a game yet? Evanthough you have played Man Utd, Arsenal and liverpool.

Yeah thanks mate. Its all in the tactics and formations you play. Thats the key really. And to be fair the Man Utd and Arsenal games were both at home. The real test will be when we play them away!

We were outplayed! It was a terrible match to watch. West Brom were all over us and the players just couldnt get a grip on the game. This is a game we should have won and im very disappointed with the team!
