League goals in 2015-16: Bale + Benzema + Ronaldo = 22 Mahrez + Vardy = 23

Quite funny actually if you look at Stoke, they have 4 CL winners in their starting eleven: Arnautovic, Bojan (2x), Afellay and Shaqiri. No wonder they killed us and are killing City

2-0 Stoke Shaqiri and Arnautovic killing City. Shaqiri showing his class again.

wow Shaqiri and Arnautovic 1-0 Stoke

I like this positive thinking and I also think December could be a good month for us, actually November was already quite good: we played 5 games, won 3, 1 draw at Spurs, 1 loss. Only conceded 2 goals and kept 3 clean sheets. In December we'll play: Bournemouth, Sunderland, Watford at home and Leicester, United away. At home we must get those 9 points and with the way we played Spurs, I think we can get 4 points in those 2 tough away games. If we can do this we'll have 28 points after 19 games. To compare, Arsenal had 33 points last season after 19 games. (we had 46) After that we'll reach January where we can get reinforcements to strengthen the squad and from there we can rebuild and finish the season strong. But there is one ''tricky'' game in December: Porto. This game is so so so important for the team spirit and if we lose this one (and Kiev wins), December and the whole season could or will become a big disaster.

@Jason, Hi Jason or other staff members, could you tell me how I can add YouTube videos in this thread? (first it was just pasting the link below) Pre-match presser: https://youtu.be/aaHAUEXeL7U

DD my friend I know you dislike Cesc and I agree he is a liability against good pressing teams but we shouldn't forget what he is capable of. He had over 20 assists for us last season and his general vision is a big big joy to watch when he's in form, just like Hazard's dribbles. I'd say vision and the final pass: Cesc>Gundogan Look at this video: pfff look at that pass at 01:50, I miss that Cesc, his passing sometimes was so sick, he was sublime.

İlkay Gündoğan has admitted his Dortmund future is uncertain and that Liverpool have a 'good team and great coach'. (Source: Daily Mail)

I'd love to think like that but I can't, I am still a little worried about qualifying for the last 16! Let's qualify first, after that we can start dreaming

His first match will be the UCL match vs Lyon.

He can have the Drogba role of last season I think. (Third striker) An experienced pinch hitter who won't complain for lack of minutes.

Adebayor and his 96 career goals in the Premier League left Spurs by mutual consent in September, following a season filled with plenty of drama away from the limited amount of football he did play. Because he did not terminate his contract with Spurs before the transfer deadline, he is not eligible to join another club until January. Supposedly he's been training hard to keep in shape. Watford and Chelsea are the two clubs supposedly looking at him, with the Blues no doubt thrown in there purely out of Mourinho's prior relationship at Real Madrid with the now 31-year-old striker. http://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/2015/12/2/9832872/emmanuel-adebayor-set-for-premier-league-return-chelsea-watford?utm_campaign=weaintgotnohistory.sbnation&utm_content=chorus&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter

Exactly. Ronaldo is the best example of how a pro should behave. Neymar changed his diet and look at him now, final 3 in the ballon d'or. Djokovic did the same since 2010 and since then he dominated tennis. I truly think clubs should give these millionaire players personalized diet schedules of what they must eat, even in the summer.

Harry Redknapp: Jose Mourinho finally found the keys to the Chelsea bus in Spurs stalemate At Spurs you could see they are starting to look more like the Chelsea of old: solid, organised, very hard to beat. The keys have been found to the bus. Nemanja Matic, who was so important to them last season when they won the title, an absolute powerhouse, really does appear to be coming back. When Matic is on song, Chelsea have that core stability. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/12023794/.html Great read

The name sounds more like a Pokemon character. " I choose you, Gundogan!" Appearance yes, looks a bit like vegeta.
