Alex is too reckless, he has already given 2 penalty's this season, far too clumsy and should play defensive midfield.

don't know why but i have a feeling Lukaku is going to have a absolute screamer tonight

i really cannot be royally fucked to go into detail as i have over a million times but no it wont work he is fine at CB.

It's not about age or anything like that, whenever i see the reserves play and often McEachran runs the show until about the hour mark then disapears into thin air and playing for the first team is much harder and much more demanding even more so if you're team get reduced to 10 men which is why he was probally the "fall guy" when the subs were needed to be made. Van Der Vart often gets subbed around the hour mark for Tottenham for the same reason and when he doesn't how many times has he impacted a game late on?

He doesn't have the stamina to play 90 and especially 120 minutes just yet, if we kept him on by about the 75th-80th minute we would have effectively been down to 9.

finally some one else who realises it.

R.I.P

Is it actually confirmed it's 90 grand a week or have we all just guessed?

^ he came on against Swansea in the same situation. Remember his circumstances are similar to Sturridge's last season and Danny was 21, Josh is only 18. If Josh plays a game soon and makes a mistake which loses us it, we would all be slating AVB for chucking him in at the deep end.

I think JOsh has been unlucky this season, lets remember he is only 18, Sturridge could not get a game for City (before the Sheiks took over) when he was 18 now look at him. It's not like he has been completely frozen out, he has been on the bench a fair few times this season (more than a lot of 18 year olds) it just happened that whenever Josh is on the bench the score's close. If he was on the bench today he would no doubt have came on.

So yet another convincing defensive display with Luiz playing If he is a liabilty i can't wait until he "learns to defend", no one will score past us.

So Hernandez scores yet another goal that just hit him without him realising. Awful player. And we bash Kalou for "only scoring tap ins"

How the fuck did Sturridg not start a league match for us last season?

Don't see why there are too many complaints tbh. Yes it would have been nice to see Bertrand get a game but lets be honest that line up could have been A LOT worse.

The point is if Cleverly was/is so amazing compared to McEachran then where was he when he was 18?

Joker10 My suggestion to bench him for Wolves is more to keep him fresh as much as anything else. He is 33 he can't play 3 full games in 7 days anymore.

Will be a test for him against Liverpool in the CC, first time he has faced one of the "top teams" i think.

He needs to be benched again along with Terry, both need to know that their places are far from safe, otherwise we will carry on seeing the drivel we have saw from them in the last week.

Hazard and De Bruyne. If Roman and AVB can pull those 2 off i will be his slave for a month.

looks like i have unintentially created this season's version of "carlo out in the summer" thread that Styles made last season :doh: :doh:

Why don't we sack some of the players? Im being serious, the likes of Malouda are the problem here not the manager, what will happen if we sack AVB? Malouda and co will get yet another chance. If we sack managers and pay their compensation if they are not performing why not do it with the players and all, Malouda and Anelka will command fuck all of a transfer fee anyway so threaten them with the sack, we need to start chucking the well fed players away and not the manager.

Im was stunned so many were against the signing of Falcao in the summer, boy could we have done with him now.

So are Hernandez and Kuyt but they work hard and actually get goals, Pool and United fans don't complain when they do it so i don't see why we have THAT much of a problem with Kalou doing the same.

^ nothing i would like more to contribute a lot to this forum but sadly living on you're own especially at a young age comes at a price. I found this forum totally at random, was on a all fan's football forum but got sick of threads ruined by Scousers, Goonies and Mancs talking shit so found a only Chelsea one

Hogsdon's reign and Rafa's last season springs to mind.
