You mean the time when Liverpool were losing to every team on the bounce under woy?.

I wasn't excited and i would've picked the latter two.

Liverpool always beat Everton, pretty pointless relying on them tbh.

Come on, do we really have to bring his wife into this.

You do hold a good point there, especially at the 2nd one. The only thing he probably could've done in the right, is clear it for a corner, should've done to be fair. But with AVB's mentallity who always likes to get back into the game and run it, he was probably told to try and keep the ball as much as we can and get on the counter attack. So things aren't as simple as we see them, as we don't know what happens in the background do we. But what you also need to consider Seb, is that besides just one game, look at a season overall. Will a goal scoring striker benefit us overall?, because that's the main thing. Maybe we had lost the Spurs game had we someone like Aguero, or maybe we would've won it anyway because Aguero would've netted 3 that game. I do think it's unrealistic that a striker can just jump into the team and we will score more goals, because there's always side effects. If the team scores goals then that's great. I think we need a team playing forward, rather than a goal scorer, I've said this. Mainly due to the fact we've never really had a goal scoring striker what has worked for us in Roman times, where as Drogs was more of a team player, goals just came with him. The only reason i don't want Falcao here is mainly because he's too expensive, i don't like paying out too much. Especially if it doesn't work, but it 90 percent will, as he's too good to not do well. But i want to benefit us most, i think a team player, someone who tends to open up the defence for others. As Torres did twice there, but lets face it. Torres is shit, despite what he did there he's still crap, and it's best to get a replacement. I don't know what striker can do it though, but i would still have Falcao here as he's a top striker.

Aye, his mentallity can be really poor, but then to be wise about the situation. Maybe if he worked much harder as people say he should, we wouldn't see how good he is at attacking, because he wouldn't of been in those positions up top in the first place, when he scored that cracking goal, or when he made that classic pass, or when he decided to take a rest rather than helping his defenders so he's going to be better for the counter attack. There's always a downside to when you do everything. But i do agree, overall i think it's best if he does go back and help out his team, because he has to do that. But sometimes it looks like Toure technically isn't a good DM. He doesn't even know where to be at times, or that could be down to how lazy he is.

Come on Swansea, just go for it!, nothing to loose

I don't think he can be compared to Mikel, as Mikel is more of a DM, Toure don't play there anymore. But Toure can be a defensive liability, that's probably why. He is still a better play in that position though in my opinion, but not by a long shot. But still if that article is really suggesting Mikel is on the same level as Toure or better, then that's just fucking stupid. Even if it's talking about DM's, because what's the point?. Toure isn't really a DM anymore, you could pretty much make an article and say, why Sandro is better than Rooney as a DM, or some daft shit like that.

Well fair play to Swansea they seem to be fighting back a bit, even if it's not enough. Can't see them scoring, but i really thought they would get a lot worse after the first goal.

Of course it's a tough one, Lampard has done a lot more, but i just think when you look at Yaya Toure sometimes to this day, he does incredible things. And Lampard in his prime wasn't capable of some of the things he does there. But Lampard is our legend through and through, and had i of decided out of both of them to be our players, i would of chosen Lampard, because of the vital goals he has gotten us in the past and the great bloke that he is.

I think Yaya is a monster, he can do so much things, and i honestly believe he now was better than Lampard and Gerrard in there prime. You can compare, they are central midfielders, how can you not compare?. You pretty much can't compare Lampard and Gerrard, but guess what, everyone does it. But I'm a fucking mong for having an opinion i guess.

Be about 4-0 to City now, Swansea will fold.

According to the United fans, City look much stronger. Ahhh not to mention Dzeko is on the bench...

It seems very likely, Swansea are a team to fold against big teams also and let easy goals in.

Hahahahaha Yaya Toure?, i wont even bother reading that. Let me tell you something Rob, Yaya is a fantastic player, better than Lampard or Gerrard and that ever were. But defensively, he's not that good, has way too many leaks, i would rather have Busquets than him in the DM role definitely, because Yaya Toure always has to provide to being dirty because he lets that many players get past him. Tomo said an interesting one earlier, how he just let Meireles walk into the box when he scored that equaliser at the 2-1 win at the Bridge. He's a lazy player, bad mentallity. But he's a beast going forward, has incredibly underrated vision. One of the best players in this league without a doubt, but defensively he's overrated. I'll stand by it i think Tiote is the best in the premier league when it comes to being a DM. And the funny thing is, ever since I've said this most of you on this forum have gone to hating Tiote and wanting him to fail so badly, oh and why because i think he's better than your precious Mikel?. I've put my points down, Romeu is someone we will be lucky to keep, because he has much more potential than Mikel, to be honest he's better than Mikel. We all seen that under AVB last season, but then again it's not like anyone will admit that.

But it's good to see QPR get beat, this team somehow escaped relegation, lets hope they get it this time.

I agree, he did all his defensive work against us last season on both legs.

NO NOT THE STATS, SHIT, I CAN SEE BARCA BUYING JOE ALLEN ANYTIME SOON

Shut up!, don't you ever say that again!. Maybe i just can't remember the name, i can remember it going by the likes of Brian Dave, or Dave Brian.

Di Matteo always so chilled, very likeable character, like Carlo was, he wouldn't really be controversial and would handle the media by just shutting up and not saying a bad word about anything.

Look son, if you search up Brian Dave, he has made a few articles of top premier league players, you'll find it there.

Of course, FIFA ratings are what's top of the range, it's what every kid wants now days.

Funny thing is i actually did find quite a lot, if you skip some pages back, don't know if it was on this thread. But heck you seem like you've got nothing better to do with your life so go check it out.

Well that's clearly not the case because it's proven very BIAS, and in DENIAL.

You can't deal with things what are not true. How come almost every newspaper article what rates top midfielders, Tiote is always above Mikel, on top 10 defenders of PL Tiote is above Mikel. Fifa Tiote is rated 82, so he must be a boss, wow 82 mate, that's fucking shmexy, where as Mikel is a 'mere' 80. He gets man of the match in the big games and Newcastle struggle without him. Mikel on the other hand is the most overrated player we have. Only Chelsea fans rate him, go ask some other fans what they think.
