Think if he plays he needs Ivanovic or Terry to partner him, someone to guide him through the game

i swear everyone thought schurrle wad the second coming of jesus just a month ago

just watxg schwarzer start

MOURINHO OUT, SACK ROMAN, THIS CLUB IS A DISGRACE I can see it now.

Is the forum always this toxic after a draw or loss?

I'd say Baker, Ake, Boga and RLC will feature

Yeah.

Think he needs to be dropped after that performance

Wow, I would like your guys reaction if WE were the ones who got beat 5-3 by Leicester

Neither are even close to Cech though, that helmet is orgasmic

misworded that haha He's good at defending, just never actually... you know, defends.

Afree with you 100%. Exactly my thoughts I'll get right to it Chou

They're not. Just because they're our title rivals doesn't mean they're OUR rivals. That's like saying Everton and Tottenham are rivals because they're fighting for a top 4 spot. I consider Leeds, QPR, Arsenal, Spurs, Millwall (especially Millwall) Fullham, West Ham bigger rivals than Man City

Man City are no where near one of our biggest rivals

Guys, Frank Lampard scored a goal against us in dramatic fashion! Read all about it in my blog! www.PelligriniLikesKids.com

Ah, okay, just thought that maybe you didn't rate him as a manager.

okay courtois is fucking hot

Him and Dave were our best performers today

As I said above, he's a true pro. If in the contract he didn't offer him sufficient playing time, I don't blame him for leaving. He wants to play, and if he won't get that here, he'll have to get it somewhere else. Exactly, doubt they would say it out loud, in front of other fans.

MrBlueGuy, out of interest, where do you rank Mourinho within the all time greats?

Guys, just be happy we don't have a manager like Arsene Wenger

Why are you guys talking about Lampard in such a negative fashion? WE didn't offer him a new contract. New York was the only club that wanted him (melbourne too, but same difference) that was his only option. He's too much of a pro to retire because we don't want him anymore, football genuinely is his life. He's a true legend of this club, the best player to ever play for us. Our all time highest goalscorer. A true gentleman. Why? He's done it all with us. I bet you guys weren't saying this when he scored THAT goal against Barca.

Oh Jesus, the amount of faults in your post is hilarious. We've not played any top teams (bar Man City), and we've been peforming great. Does playing well against weaker teams take something away from the performances? I guess we can all disregard our performance vs Swansea, Burnley, Everton (they're a pretty big team though) and Leicester then We've had a PERFECT start to the season. Even this match, perfect. It tells the team to toughen up and get ready for the season, apart from dropping two points there was nothing wrong with the result.

Messi is regaining his old form under Luis Enrique. Expect him to get 35+ goals this season edit: this is the ronaldo thread, not messi, my mistake

I think come January the team will look a bit like this Courtois Dave - Cahill - Ivanovic / Terry - Filipe Matic Oscar Fabregas Ramires / Schurrle Hazard Costa I think that's our strongest possible lineup, Ivanovic has just been too poor defensively so far
