The Skipper

Yeah let's let Terry, Cole, Cech and Lampard leave ASAP because our squad can clearly deal without them. Right. Are you new to football or something?

Apart from his "mistake" (which I think was more of a collective defensive mistake) Terry was our most solid defender yesterday.

Exactly this. Any manager worth their salt would instruct the team to slow down the frantic pace of the game a little and take control of it. Not under Benitez though. He doesn't react at all.

JT was probably our best defender today regardless of him charging forward for the second goal. He led the line pretty well, I think it was due to our tactics overall that we lost/conceded three. He's encouraged to do it. We need at least one aggresor in the CB partnership - our whole defence was sleeping for Newcastle's second goal - there was really no need to keep such a high line. Anyone could see that Newcastle were set up for the counter and that's exactly what they did. Personally I would've asked the team to drop a little bit deeper but that obviously didn't happen. After their second goal went in there was no reaction from our touchline really, could see their third goal coming especially after Pardew introduced Marveaux - again no reaction from the touchline - I know we haven't got many players on the bench to bring on but ideally bringing on someone like Marin for Bertrand who wasn't even providing extra defensive cover to win the game would've been a decent move. Seriously can't wait for Luiz, Hazard, Mikel and Moses to come back. They'll improve the squad tenfold. Rafa isn't doing anything whatsoever to prove he's still good enough to manage this club.

That's expecting too much from Rafa.

Marveaux. Dangerman.

COME ON CHELSEA

Cech doesn't get up quick enough there for me.

Knew it .

JT IS A ROCK

YESSSSSSS. YES YES YES YES.

NO ONE CAN SAY SHIT ABOUT LAMPARD. NO ONE.

I LOVE YOU LAMPS.

And Mikel and Romeu are our only options. The latter is out injured. So in the end, we do miss Mikel, and we miss him a lot IMO. We'll start picking up more wins when him and Moses get back from the ACON.

We need to bring back the JT - Luiz partnership asap.

Monreal is a great signing for Arse. If it goes through.

8 mins left. I'd call it a day.

I've signed for Real Madrid. Decided to leave Barcelona, Messi's grabbing all the attention the twat. The Skipper signs for Real

1. I don't think the club are going to take EL serious. 2. I also don't think we should sign Negredo. Takes up a potential spot for a better striker in the summer (don't forget the possibility of Lukaku staying here next season).

Willian is predominantly an attacking midfielder that has the capabilities to play on the wing too.

Torres does still have decent pace, you can't deny that. Doesn't make him a good footballer though. Anyone remember quite recently the Arsenal game where he surged past Vermaelen (who isn't a slouch himself) only to mess it up by completely overrunning it? Again, he does have pace to a certain extent, but it seems like he's completely forgotten how to exploit it.

We want Begovic because he's home grown talent I think. Seeing as Turnbull is off at the end of the season too it wouldn't be a bad signing. We could wait till the summer though ideally and focus on what's more important today.

Blame that cunt Gourlay. I know I'm Roman's right hand man but Gourlay knows how to push Roman's buttons in ways I am too manly for.

Despite having an easier run in. It's such a joke. Cannot believe RDM got sacked for this (excuse my French) cunt.

I think we will but only because the teams around us are dropping points too. We're pretty much fucked though. We should've taken our chance with this easy run in to establish a decent gap between third and the rest... Obviously that didn't happen. We still haven't had a tough run in... I fear the worst when we actually do get to that stage.
