The Skipper

He shouldn't be going overboard in the first place haha. Can't give that to him. He's behaving now how he's expected to.

How does me saying that people are forgetting how bad Torres was for us even remotely mean I'm trying to be pretentious?

No, he could not. Wow, people really have some short term memories here.

Really? I know you loved Torres but come on. No way. People have really forgotten how bad this guy was for us.

If you're going to have a big mouth you have to back it up.

Can't believe Costa had the cheek to say his team were sleeping defensively when he misses such a big chance.

People are forgetting how bad Torres was when we were a decent team... Imagine him right now?

Cesc has played well since coming on. He's creating. Can't fault him for that.

I still maintain Cesc should've started.

I can't believe we didn't score there. Twice. Fuck sake.

Might as well have played Kenedy at LB, honestly. Azpi has been destroyed.

Yeah, I agree that he isn't anywhere near as ready at LB to face Mahrez, it was just a fantasy XI really.

Notice in my XI how I stuck RLC on his side in midfield. To deal with him we need athletic players on that side I feel.

It's not Cesc so much, I just want to see that midfield 3 in action. They all balance each other very, very well and this alone could bring the best out of all three - we know how good Cesc is when he's in top form. Kenedy is a very interesting project at LB IMO, I feel like he's athletic enough to cope with the speed Leicester play at on the counter but I also know that he's defensively not there and would probably get toyed with by Mahrez. I know it would never happen but I'd love to see this XI sometimes (maybe not today though). (P.S. don't diss the Brendan kush. It's very good.)

If only we beat Bournemouth last week... We'd actually only be 8 points off top four if we beat Leicester today as well. Shame.

Courtois Azpi - Zouma - JT - Kenedy Cesc - Matic - RLC Willian - Costa - Hazard Will never happen but oh well.

Surprised to see that people are still keeping JT out of their starting line up despite him probably being our best CB over the last few games he's played in.

Sturridge played as the furthest forward at Liverpool if I remember correctly. Seems like Pato took the Suarez role at Liverpool on more than anything.

It would be a joke if we got him. Absolutely fantastic he is. Probably the best 10 in the world.

I thought he was very good vs. United.

Yes. It was a vacant spot. You have the role. If you can show the same loyalty you showed for Jose for me, we'll be the most loved club in the world.

Dude, you're my agent. My Jorge Mendes. What are you smoking? Can't share you with Obiwan Mikel.

If we can buy Stones we should definitely be looking there. I would say then keep JT for another and let Christensen develop further, then bring him back and have a CB quartet of the above (in Tomo's post). That'd be excellent.

This is why you're Chief Scout.

Signed! Also signed on to be the manager of the tea ladies.
