Who cares? He's going to keep playing Lamps over Modric anyway

@MartinLipton

Signed a new 4 year contract with us

I certainly do. Villas-Boas has proven himself to be one of the brightest up-and-coming managers in the world. That's good enough for me. Mourinho - CL Winner Scolari - World Cup Winner Ancelotti - CL Winner They still weren't good enough to win that big trophy. We simply can't limit ourselves to CL-winning managers when it really doesn't mean anything. Why not have our manager win his first CL WITH US? like Mourinho with Porto, Ancelotti with Milan etc.

He's going to start Lamps every game, and I don't know if that's a good idea at this point of Frank's career

If this was actually true, it would be all over the WORLD not just Turkey. Gotta be fake

I disagree. Look at guys like Ancelotti, Mourinho, Villas-Boas and Guardiola when they first won their European cup. They weren't considered world-class managers then. I think right now we are too concerned with the candidate's resumes that we are passing up some great managers who simply never had the chance/squad to have much success. I'd rather hire an up-and-coming manager who's never won a trophy than a guy like Scolari who did but was terrible. I really believe that what's helped create this mess is that attitude that thinks we are too big of a club to take risk with managers. Now I'm not saying we should hire Van Basten, but the fact that he's never won a trophy is not a huge concern for me.

We had enough chances to score while sitting back if it weren't for you-know-who

missing so many chances...

I really liked Moralez in the U20 WC, but he's way too small

I agree. I also think he needs to play the "10" position. He's understandably making defensive mistakes right now often colliding with JT and Alex

I really wanted Torres to score, but we should put Drogba in. Don't want the 2nd half to be this painful to watch

Absolute hate 08-09 one. Ballack going at Ovrebo in that shirt is stuck in my head.

Neymar or any other player playing his position should be the least of Kakuta's worries. He simply has to improved, period.

Don't really think he's a ball hog anyway. He seems to be a willing passer

Torres goal. It would have been even more embarrassing if he didn't score a single goal for us this season,.

Don't blame this on Carlo. Most of the blame should actually go to Torres. I understand that it's hard for January transfers to quickly adapt to their new teams, but he's been absolutely shocking in front of the goal. Even with the limited chances that he had, he should have scored something like 5. The half-chance he had yesterday was a good example. He didn't even hit the target FFS... Hopefully he improves his form next season - and I expect him to - because if he keeps playing like this, he'll be the worst transfer of all time.

He was. It's just that people....hate

Having a strong 2nd/3rd CB like Alex gives us much needed depth and lots of options tactically. No way he's sold.

Somehow I think I was more nervous about our last game against Tottenham than this one.

I don't see the NEED to change our playing style. If we continue to sign similar personnel, we might as well stick with it. Btw Bertrand is a LB and I'm starting to doubt that Bruma will be a starter for us

The same firm that designed the Allianz designed the Beijing Olympics Stadium. And I believe a British company constructed it. I wouldn't mind going the same route

Drogba at OT, not the last one but the next one on Sunday
