Middlesbrough
2-1: Sunday, 24th May(Replaced Collison, 72 mins) Same as Tristan really. So long and good luck in court.
Liverpool
0-3: Saturday, 9th MayThe dive was embarrassing. Unfortunately it matched the rest of his play on the day.
Stoke City
1-0: Saturday, 2nd MayFew good touches – notably in getting the free-kick from which we scored. Ought to have added a second.
Chelsea
0-1: Saturday, 25th AprilPoor. One shot well wide, gave the thing away too easily.
Sunderland
2-0: Saturday, 4th AprilLively and a bit unlucky a couple of times not to score.
Blackburn Rovers
1-1: Saturday, 21st MarchContributed little of note I’m afraid. In matches like this you need your forwards to provide an outlet to the defence. He didn’t.
West Bromwich Albion
0-0: Monday, 16th MarchA bit of a ‘mare as they say. Formed no partnership whatsoever with his striking companion.
West Bromwich Albion
0-0: Monday, 16th MarchHe was constantly caught in possession and when he did manage to pass the ball it rarely reached a colleague. He did manage two shots on goal but both were so wide that they went for throw-ins
Bolton Wanderers
1-2: Saturday, 21st FebruaryMissed the best two chances of the game. He rejected the easy options in order to show off the skills that he has apparently lost.
Manchester City
1-0: Saturday, 21st FebruaryLively and made some good turns.
Middlesbrough
1-1: Saturday, 14th FebruaryShowed some nice touches but is still too easily knocked off the ball. Probable the miss of the season when he blazed over in the 72nd minute.
Middlesbrough
1-1: Saturday, 14th FebruaryWell I suppose he was at least trying to get involved but little came off for him. And that miss…

Manchester United
0-1: Sunday, 8th FebruaryCould never really get into the game and provided poor support for Cole.
Manchester United
0-1: Sunday, 8th FebruaryLots of running but we needed more in the way of pace and penetration and at no stage did he look capable of providing it.
Arsenal
0-0: Saturday, 31st JanuaryLike Cole he rarely posed the defence any problems but, also like Cole, he go through a hell of a lot of unsung work as we attempted to defend from the front.

Arsenal
0-0: Saturday, 31st JanuaryFound it difficult to get in the game and was fairly anonymous until he was taken off near the end.
Hull City
2-0: Wednesday, 28th JanuaryHit the post twice and scored a simple tap in. More importantly, he worked hard for the team and provided some good passes to Cole.
Hartlepool United
2-0: Saturday, 24th Januaryeasily knocked off the ball but he did make a couple of good defence splitting passes to Cole.
Fulham
3-1: Sunday, 18th JanuaryHis best game since he joined the club. His style of playing was suited to a packed midfield. However, I am not convinced he has the necessary abilities to be successful in the Premier League.
Barnsley
3-0: Saturday, 3rd JanuaryDid not play.
Stoke City
2-1: Sunday, 28th DecemberRan around a lot to little effect. Will hopefully only ever be a deputy for Bellamy.

Middlesbrough
1-1: Saturday, 1st NovemberDid not play.
Bolton Wanderers
1-3: Sunday, 5th OctoberOne shot and that was about it.
Fulham
2-1: Sunday, 28th SeptemberThe one big disappointment of the day, he failed to make much impression before his eventual replacement by Bellamy.
Newcastle United
3-1: Saturday, 20th SeptemberA virtuoso performance on his debut from the Italian. New Kepa Blanco? New Paolo more like.
Newcastle United
3-1: Saturday, 20th SeptemberA typical West Ham player in that he delights and infuriates in equal amounts. Spot of luck for the first. Good work for the second. Should have had a third.
West Bromwich Albion
2-3: Saturday, 13th September(replaced Ashton, 19) An interesting debut. Had a hand in the first goal before embarrassing himself with two woeful overhead efforts.
