LDN Blue

Indeed. I'm with you.. Tried to be patient with him, but he's just another Walcott, pace with no finish product (like a frickin' cross). Even Walcott and beat a LB one-on-one.

I meant the petty arguments calling people "glory hunters" ect.

At least that cunt Doiuf's not around.

This thread was a disgusting jinx

Recall is needed.

Torres & Miereles to score.

Well even Mourinho got hammered 5-0 last season (not comparing Barca to Le Arse though). He learned from it, as Andre will from this.

I can see why not, Mertesaker was ahead of Scz.. when it happened, but certainly denied a gs opportunity once Cole took it down imo.

Anyone who says our players don't care about fans, needs take no further look than JT to prove that claim wrong.

Excellent points. A deep lying MF playmaker will really help us, stops putting so much weight on Mata's shoulders.

Do you see he's improving though?

Yeah, but Cole's first touch is so exquisite now. He's also putting a lot of heart into working for this squad this season, which really makes me proud to see. I think it's Ray Wilkins who said "he's one of the hardest workers in training, every day".

David Luiz has good pace though, do you think he can? I do agree about Terry & Ivanovic. The former is too old to adapt now, and the latter well it's not part of his game.

I think André's realised he can't give Josh the time he wanted now. I think Rogers has a real good chance at getting him in January, he's still a good affiliate of the club.

Billy Cifford is an excellent player, and could be a really good RB. I just hope André looks at the youth and reserve team.

I think he was good, found some good passes today and kept his composure. Though I understand your point, perhaps AVB didn't want to throw Romeu into the deep-end? He has put in some good performances when called upon.

But we all know this already, even during the "good spell". Cech RB - Luiz - Terry - Cole Romeu Mata - Ramires RW - Torres/Sturridge - LW This is what we need. I feel sorry for Sturridge, but he is not a right-winger.

Hmm.. I suppose so. Though it was fairly close, they made more clear cut chances, but we were very dangerous too, just couldn't get Torres on the ball much today. Genk will be a good match to get the winning momentum restarted. At least we scored 3x

What's your thoughts on Andre at the moment?

Yeahh, signs of improvement though I suppose. What he really needs to exploit is his ability to slip past defenders and get in 1-on-1 positions with the keeper, he does it very well.

I kind of agree, but at the same time, Miereles' tackling really needs to addressed. He's really reckless sometimes, comes from behind a player too. I think he has a role to play, but we need a DM behind him first. Ramires might be able too, we have a very diverse midfield at the moment.

Yeah, I don't think our defenders have properly adapted to this high line yet. We underestimated Arsenal's pace, they did beat the offside trap quite a few times.

Yeah, thought he was a bit unlucky to get subbed off for Lukaku. It's really good to have that energy back into our midfield.
