Great shout to put Kaboul in there today he headed away so many crosses.

+1

Kaboul has really impresed me. And I think Daws and Gallas will be an excellent centre back pairing when the King is not available.

I would actually like to see Kaboul given a run at right back. I thought he was excellent last season when he played there on a couple of occassions and I think Corluka, although decent, is probably our weakest link...

I think harry put Kaboul in today to combat their ariel threat from set pieces, he's a man mountain!, i gota say though, his positioning at times is aweful and i was cringing time after time, i am praying he will get better as a player.

Talking about positioning, I am really worried about Gomes's start to the season, he made me a tad uncomfortable today, one min he's class the next he's stranded and nowhere.. hoping its a bit of rustyness.

To be fair, i think JJ put himself about well today, made some vital blocks and his pass to put Bale through was great.

Good win today although if i'm fair i feel we got away with it a bit, cheers ref, I cant remember us having a clear chance in the 2nd half, maybe its our turn for a bit of that luck weve not been getting for ages.

Really looking forward to weds, i hope and pray that Defoe, Modric and Pav will be fit.

I hear you, but what made me uncomfortable yesterday, was the refree allowing dirty Stokes players to kick, foul, impede and push Gomes every time ball came into our penalty box.

i think it was not one of Gomes best days but got away with it
and i think Gallas will be a big plus in the side

i would replace charlie with kaboul at right back and king+ dawson cb

BBC says it's done deal now.
