Rafael yellow already!

We need to literally dominate the ball to use drogba affective I feel

Let's go!

Good to see (what I'm guessing) was drogba telling cesc 'hold up in playing balls over the top, I won't win the race, play it in the fall within my range or to my feet'. Also, I feel Luis could have a big say, will he be solid defensively? Can he out those crosses on a plate for drogba?

It seems Falcao is injured?!?!?! I think loui is pulling a jose here. To a kick in training? Expect him on the pitch, and not looking forward to what he can do. Hopefully they play RVP, he's been so lethargic this year and we can dominate the midfield. Apparently Valencia is a doubt too, he has the speed to track back on hazard (but defensively he's shit) if he is out so much room for Eden!!!

8 points clear if we win. With us at home to work next week, could be the perfect storm for us with we give united a lessen which ignites a performance against city next week. So many ifs and buts...... But... We could be 11-12 points clear if United get A result and it will have just been the beginning if November!

2 mind left west ham 2-1

West ham are playing good football this year

I'm just talking about the bigger matches. Arsenal he was magnificent but I'm hoping to see him bring forward his recent attacking impetus in games like united Liverpool and city

I think it's time to expect one of Oscar or willian to step up and play decisively, perhaps score or create a goal, help to control the midfield. They certainly can against this united team.

I have a gut feeling he will make the bench.

I'm sorry I was being cruel

He has recovered!!!!

Not sure how much off a muscle strain it is though, he come off before it as it started to feel uncomfortable, it's is the kind I strain I think it is it can be recovered from enough to play in around 3-4 days at the quickest so I would say he's a possibility

Courtois Iva Cahill Terry Luis Ramires matic Fabregas Willian hazard Schurrle Ramires and willian will hold the right flank down. Hazard to play centrally, put less defensive responsibility on him, especially with essentially a 5 man mid behind him. Schurrle there for penetrative runs and extra direct threat, but if not play Oscar on the right and willian left. Both flanks will be shut down! So much pace in the team as well. Definitely won't happen though

I mean when Hazard leaves

Well as long as we sell at the right time! Having someone available at the time of transaction is probably more important than the fee I'd say!

Doesn't mean diddly if you can see the pass

In the next year or so I think age will dictate that Robben will decline, so top 4 IMO

Not really. Question is over two games can we 'fucking destroy' them more than they us? City are out closest team to us in the league but look at them in Europe, different animal. Barcelona have a front 3 of messi neymar and Suarez. Madrid are thankfully weaker as a team this year but can still kill everyone on their day, no contest. Be confident this year, we are on the road for something special but don't confuse a checkpoint with a finish line

Unfortunately not Real Madrid, Barcelona or Bayern.

I meant we could go toe to toe and outplay them

He would allow us to go direct against the biggest teams and beat them

No ground to stand on in saying he wouldn't do well here, heck he'd fit like a glove. Only questions are, is there space in the squad to aquire him? Do we even want him?

I did want pogba, him next to matic and Fabregas would be legendary, but I have high hopes for RLC. Though when I think about it, he's almost 17. By the times he us 21 cesc will be 31/32, matic will be 29 and pogba mid twenties so I don't see why he would stop him. I have always said we need a first team right winger to progress the next level, the greatest teams of past have always had a team which everyone could name the first 11. Reus would be great because he's one of my favourite, but would fit like a glove. Cuadrado too.
