Eden at Saints

I'd happily play him over Pedro/Willian. But whoda thunk it thay he could defend so good and he had the engine hes got. To be able to run the line from corner to corner. Every oner of the lads are running their arses off, Heres his vid for Saints

Always liked the lad tho I wanted to shake him warmly by the throat when he was giggling on the floor that time, But these extra responsibilities (I remembered the word!) is making him more cautious and self aware. Hes doing great. I also think he would make a great polaymaker in the deep pocket in front of the CDs I cant get ober just how much praise is being lavished on him by journos and pundits. Im pleased for him and nice to show those amongst us who thoughht he was a accident waiting to happen and a last minute panic buy he can actually do the job. Heres his vid v Saints

Going back a couple of games but I cant get tired of watching the w of them so different. I wish we could see them after the 4th eh!!! Can just imagine Mou saying "Is it finished yet?"

Yeah noted that myself too. I would dearly love to know how/who/when all transfer decisions were made coming and going tho. And for at least someone toi put their hands up just once in a while to own up for making the wrong decision.,

We knew it was coming Will be Conte as manager too I reckon. Chelsea forward Eden Hazard wins PFA Fans' Premier League Player of the Month http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11661/10641054/chelsea-forward-eden-hazard-wins-pfa-fans-premier-league-player-of-the-month

But if you watch that footballl on monday show that stat list showed just how much Luiz had developed as a CD and given all the extra power,reliance,trust. (The soddin word is on the end of me tongue lol grrrr EDiT : RESPONSIBILITIES!!! ) So he stays in positin while Dave/Cahill can get more forward/. They were gushing about how good hes been under this system. Something I just read really pleased me too about Roman. How he followed them to Australia pre season, goes to watch training at Cobham and sits with Conte watching the films he shows the lads. How many owners care so much about the team that he wants to learn the system and plays. Love it. I just wish I could have seen him when we pissed on Mou on his birthday. He gets so animated while hes watching, like hes kicking every ball. Ecvellent owner.. Htttp://www.skysports.com/football/news/11668/10641549/antonio-conte-says-chelsea-owner-roman-abramovich-wants-to-learn-about-football Antonio Conte says Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich 'wants to learn about football' I know everyones really excited and laying basking in the afterglow of winning. But during the 1st halk of Southampton (just go back and read the thread) MANY of us on here were nervous/scared/deflamatory about how good the Saints were and how they were walking all over us. As the stats have all shown over the games since the systems changed that the opposing teams have each had more posession than us, more passes. But we have been happy to allow this as theres much less shots on goal and we haven't once found it necessary to even get on the bus let alone park it!! We gotta have more confidence in this system while the games on and have trust that they know what theyre doing. And theres gonna be times we lose so it dont mean we throw our toys out the pram saying we fuckin suck. Its football, shit happens. Speaking of shit. God I'm looking forward to getting Spuds in a couple of weeks!!!

Id upgrade Pedro in a heartbeat Never been overly impressed. Hes doing what Oscar has done since we signed ihm.running round like a Jack Russell with his top thied defending. Oscar gives his moments of genius too. There will bound to be a time we revert to a back 4. Different formations against diff teams. Cant use same tactics in every game

LOL The last 3 games we have had people saying that this is the biggest test since new system etc etc yet we walked over Mounure, we cocked our leg on a strong Saints team at home. I dont want us to go in like Billy Big Bollox and not think owt about them but we need them to have that Hazard swag dance and go out strong from the start. I really wish we signed Lukaku. Just imagine him doing a Hazard on the right side! It would be scary.

Yeah I agree with that. Its the bit about Iva as a fuckin WB that makes me choke on me bacon n egg sarney!!! How the fuck is he going to be able to walk up n down that the touchline for 90 mins let alone run it!! And as for playing lads out of position we could be keeping Cescy and utilizing our most creative player as deep playmaker. But instead we keep the likes of Oscar and Mikel gathering dust and growing roots. Just doesn't seem right.

My thoughts exactly but wouldn't we eed to go 3-5-2?? Or 3-1-4-2? It breaks my heart that we cant use Cescy. I used to goto Highbury if we was away just to watch him. And when he came with Diego I couldn't believe it. I threw a party. I know hes not fast just like Eden cant defend. But hes our most creative player. Stick him behind N'Golo -Matic/Chalobah and we would own the central midfield. Just like Eden he needs to be given the role hes good in, He cant go from wearing a magic fuckin hat to licking him out on loan in such a short time. Whats gonna happen if we need to alter the 3-4-3 to a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 and we dont have the players to fit it? We NEED these depth options. I also think Luiz could play as a deep pocket play maker in front of the CBs Also maybe Chalobah..

Not sure anyone walks around Multimedia thread. Theres a photo of Diego and a Lion doing the rounds. Made my own version and added Eden

He would make a great WB I reckon. Same with Felipe Luis.

I know its relatuvely still early and like alot of us I was presuming with the players they had and the new ones they brought in and with Mous history of first 2 seasons at a new clubm that Mounure would be walking away with the title this season But how wrong was we? Theyre imploding. WTF is going on with Mou? Is it that everyones seen all his tricks and tantrums and just fed up with it? Or has the stress of leaving us got into his head and hes fucked up. He gradually got worse and worse this last time with us. OK I didn't mind the way he was with press and other managers cause Ive a touch of sarcasm in me too. But his insistance of building a us against the world atmosphere gets really heavy and hard toi handle for all the club. You look at pictures of when he joined us. He looked fit,happy and up for the craic. When he left he lookid older than vinegar tits. Well its the same thing this season Hes got bigger bags under his eyes than :Louis Vuitton. Hes in a shit position really.. I cant see him being round long iif this keeps up. And I wouldn't be at all suprized if their board haven't already touched base with Simeone for a double transfer with Griezmann in tow. It might sound petty but I really want to see them end up much worse than we ended up.

I cant get over the complete turnaround w have made since the North Londoners, Its really hard getting used to hearing nothing but paise from all the cunts pundits and media peeps. But I'm with Conte and Ill wait till after Xmas and see how transfers go. Our real test will come when we go 1-0 down amd see how we handle it.

Cuadeado would have worked well in this system I thimk but as mentioned hes not here (I didn't know it was because he wanted to leave. Thought it was because he never got game time pre season) But yes RAM is one of the 1st posituns we need upgrading. But we should have some spare cash if we get shot of some deadwood and players that wont sit around waiting for a different formation to be used. Me, Id sell Osxar,Mikel,RLC,Iva and sadly Cescy as I just cant see how to use him unless its in a 3 man MF in deep pocket. Hes one of our most creative players but I think Chalobah will work great with N'Golo. We need WB options too cause right now we are in schtuck if Moses/Alonso are out. I';m hoping Happy will recover as good as new but if mot wee need to ook at that. I really cant see Conte looking ast Christensen in with RLC/Aina/Chalobah already in. And Christensen will wamt time promised. As for Mkhitaryanm I cant see why Mou wouldnt sell him us, He did after all sell our 1st keeper to our closest rivals.

Well my dream for a couple of years was ro team up Pog,Happy and Varane together but right now I wouldn't swap the little man for Pogba even if we did a straight swap. Amd as theres not much chamce of Varane coming even if he did turn down Moumure, I just hope we get a good upgrade for Cahill

Yeah if necessary. I'd even put Oscar there over those 3. Not sure about Aina yet. But we do need to look at a player thats used to the role. We have tended to start using players outside of the position theyve played their careers in. We treat them like Swiss army knives instead of getting a proper tool for the job. We have lucked out on occasions with players that are versatile but if we are going to be serious in Europe its summet we gotta look at. I think anyway.

I like seeing all the players do it.But Ive only seen Eden do it once.

It looks like it was a case of 2 fiery characters communicating during/after the Leicester beating, All back to brotherly love.

I really still cant get over how cheap we managed ro get him, Aso I didn't know that he had met with Mou and Mou turned him down! Its probably because he doesnt bing in advertyising endorsements and sells shirts. All he does is rule the MF http://metro.co.uk/2016/10/30/manchester-united-are-crying-out-for-a-midfielder-like-ngolo-kante-says-jamie-redknapp-6224336/

Ive loved Costa since we first signed him/ Thay initial link up wich Cescy was pure magic and it changed the whole club both on anf off the field overnight. Whether Conte has channeled that spare agression into his football or he did it himself i dunno but the thing I'm worried about is all rhe clubs that will come for him the end of the season. But for now ts bloomin great! Costa beats Aguero to 40 Premier League goals http://www.goal.com/en/news/1862/premier-league/2016/10/30/29010142/costa-beats-aguero-to-40-premier-league-goals

Look. Theres been many times since he's been with us Ive shouted his praises. Jes been full of that fighting spirit that I always loved in a player. But even if you was his biggest fan you've got to agree that the team / this new system just isn't right for him. Mot for a CB but now way on earth is he a soddin WB. So with the football head and defensive master that Conte is how the fuck can he think of putting him in as one? I'm at a loss. I know we are stucj for WB replacements IF Moses/Alonso cant make it but thats scraping the barrel surely. :et alone Pedro in defence Conte reveals Pedro, Ivanovic and Aina are alternatives for wing-back positions http://www.squawka.com/news/conte-reveals-pedro-ivanovic-and-aina-are-alternatives-for-wing-back-positions/813549#DgD5wqWMW10eTAJf.99

Its hard to tell people that the Esen now is the same moping lifeless git that was playing last year isn't it. Whether it was down to Mou and his style of man mabagement or what we will never know. But the difference in the lads now and then is amazing. The Don has got them actually working as a team/ Not just a gtoup of good individuals like the current Mounure. Conte is doing wehat Claudio did last season. When you get Eden coming out to start a 2nd half doing this you know that the guy is buzzing his tits off and all the lads must be feeling this way. Does a little dance before 2nd half against Southampton http://www.101greatgoals.com/101ggvideos/eden-hazard-little-dance-2nd-half-kicked-off-v-southampton-video/ Gotta put my hands up too cause theyve had me screaming my damned fool head off!

Ive not heard Sky 1 talk like this about us for awhile. Fuckin Souness has a stiffie I'm sure! He loves us!
