The Skipper

Scores winner again. Screamer too.

This happened at my uni as well, there was a night at the Student Union and the fire alarm went off so everyone evacuated, and someone started the Yaya Toure chant and everyone just went nuts, mosh pits everywhere.

Could give that piece of advice to yourself. I don't know how anyone could slate Luiz for supposedly being a liability yet at the same time thinks Hummels is WC. That's really funny. You seriously can't be disregarding Luiz's consistent performances over almost a whole season and then say Luiz is back to being "error prone" because hasn't been as good over a span of 5 or 6 games. That again, is ridiculous.

Thiago Silva & David Luiz. David Luiz is keeping Dante (yes, Dante who starts for the CL champions, and is their best CB) out of the Brazil team. Open your eyes.

So the bad pass from Cech is ignored, the mis-control from Ramires is ignored, the fact that JT lost his man and left Ivanovic with even more on his plate is ignored... It was a bad team goal, and it really is ridiculous to blame the whole goal on Luiz. You obviously have some sort of hatred for him. Bollocks, sorry. Okay in the last few games Luiz could've done better but before that you're going to have to go a long way back before finding Luiz gifting the opposition goals. If Luiz was such a liability and if he was so bad today why didn't Jose take him off? Why didn't Jose just shift Ivanovic to CB and throw on Azpilicueta? Why did Benitez say Luiz is one of the best CBs in the world? It doesn't make sense, sorry. If Hummels and Subotic were really available for that much (which I highly doubt to begin with, I don't even know how you could even suggest that you'd want Hummels to replace Luiz when he is even more "error prone" and goal gifting) then why didn't Barcelona just go for one of them instead of trying to go for Luiz? Your hatred for Luiz is just ridiculous tbh.

Of course not pal, that was directed to didierforever.

It's absolutely ridiculous to blame the goals we conceded versus both teams completely on Luiz, that's my point. Okay, I can accept that he could've done better on both goals but to completely ignore his performances in both games (which were both pretty decent) and to say that based on one proper bad game in a long time that we should've sold him to Barcelona is ridiculous.

That wasn't really a mistake... Just a good goal by Norwich.

What? Luiz hasn't made a mistake that has led to a goal in a long time. This is his first proper bad game in about a year, and you're questioning why we didn't sell him to Barca for £35m? Ridiculous.

I never said that they aren't able to perform without each other - what I did say is that they perform better when both are on form, simply because I believe they have a great understanding. That's why I attributed Mata not playing/having a poor start to the season as one of the reasons why Hazard is as well but I'm not saying that that was the sole reason though.

Nah, his play in general was one of his best this season.

Not a myth at all in my opinion, especially basing it on last season. Mata still played around 60 minutes in the game, and Hazard has had one of his best games (over the whole game) this season. When Mata hopefully hits form as well the link up play between the two will hopefully be on full display again. There were times last season when their play was pretty much orgasmic, so it's not something I just made up. I do believe Hazard in general plays better when playing with Mata - and I'm basing that largely on how well the two played together last season.

His acceleration or dribbling?

Was great with his dribbling today. His acceleration is insane.

He was brilliant today. Saved us on numerous occasions.

Attacking wise he's just a lot better than Cole right now.

What I meant is that it's not like the majority are all saying he had an excellent game. That's just one person.

Don't think anyone is saying he was excellent today; most are just saying he had a good game, which is true, and that he should probably be our number one striker because of the threat he has against teams that sit deep because he's technically better than both Torres & Ba.

Barcelona, semi final CL 2012.

Not a good game from David today, but it happens. His first proper bad game in a long time for us. He'll put it behind him though. Onwards and upwards.

1-1 United!

Anyone got a nice stream for me?

Anyone got a nice stream for me?

Sorry, has anyone from CFC come out and said, "we want 'x' much for Courtois"? You're making things up.

Match preview submitted. Hope someone can go over it as I did it whilst I was pretty tired. Thanks in advance!
