I think you answered it already. As good as Belgium are, they are not on the same level as Germany and Brazil yet. They have a big potential though.

That's the downside of English football - the domestic competitions are very competitive so it takes its toll on European front. I mean Real Madrid, Barca, Bayern Münich have 3-5 tough fixtures against equal rivals, other games are about gaining confidence and target practice.

Drew with Blue Bulls, 0-0. Fair play to him for using tactics like he does, seems to get results. He has played 3 games, drawn all of them and has scored 0 and conceded 0. A proper West Ham-esque performance.

What a speed merchant. His face might have been 'I'm calm, whatever, just a kick-about with the boys', but you could see he was so pumped for this, too pumped, adrenaline sky high. Newcastle might not be the easiest team to make a debut against either, very physical team - a Stoke with a bit of flare and elegance and less robust, bandage around their head Englishmen. Happy for him, I'm confident he will be a successful player.

Noone should die so young. Rest in peace.

I'd even say we blew the chance to sign Cavani in his Palermo days, he was a hot prospect already. Though, I don't think he can keep that smile on his face and brown nose Ibrahimovic forever, he is too big of a star to play second fiddle to someone. In that sense I'd say we do have hope.

His back to goal play is superb. One thing that you can take away from is that he plays in La Liga for Real Madrid where you are bound to score more. Then again it isn't easy to outshine Ronaldo and other superstars around you.

This year's first football match played, haven't touched a football since a tournament in May! Stamina was pretty good, wasteful on the ball. The fact that is was 3v3 didn't help the cause. How about you lads/gals, any training 'resolutions' or feats planned for this year?

The reason I said it is because we had a brief chat about it with Skipper. I'm not aware about your post.

@The Skipper Exactly like Super Bowl - best defense won over best attack!

What a result. We were unlucky not to score more but lucky to not concede. Mourinho's tactical master-class to nullify ManCity at Etihad, get in there! MOTM I'd give to Hazard for the composure and on the ball brilliance, though Cech is very close with saving us. Ramires and Willian might not have had the best night but they had to resort to lot of dirty work, all good in the end. TOP3 closer than ever - KTBFFH! Every serbian on the field got booked, arguably one of whom should have seen a card of different color.

Suarez's brilliance all over it, Sturridge was just a statistic.

Welcome to CFC, Kurt Zouma!

Great news! Really hope he is talking about Cavani and not Costa. Can't imagine Cavani settling for second best behind Ibra for more than a season.

Ahh deadline day, the day of chaos, panic and disorder.

Best defense vs best attack, a proper showdown.

There isn't a concrete answer to your question. Pessimists will say we are out of it already, optimists will hope for the best till it is mathematically possible.

You want us to bow down and take it just because statistics say so? It ain't over till the fat lady has sung. We'll make that 'once' a 'twice'.

What's this talk about losing the title? 15 games to go, we are 3pts from the top while Liverpool trails by 4.

Well fuck me senseless, what a frustrating game.Statistics don't tell the whole story here. We were stuck in the final third for majority of the game and had to try awkward long range shots. Don't really blame anyone here, a draw is better than a loss I suppose considering the brick wall we were facing while ManCity had a target practice at White Hart Lane. One of those days, hopefully our players will channel all this frustration and anger to our next game. KTBFFH

Etoo's game style reminds me Miroslav Klose's. Always wanting a piece of the action, pressing the defence/GK and looking for that typical poacher's finish.

This kind of game reminds me of Chelsea's attack 3-4 years ago when we were constantly stuck in the final third and couldn't score. Hopefully Jose has the remedy.

Agree. Hopefully they'll also get tired from running after the ball, because it's always easier to do the hard work while in possession.

A lot of possession but no real edge, seems we need a lucky goal to settle this - if only Adrian wouldn't have the game of his life. Willian's crosses have been dire apart from a few corner kicks, same goes for Ivanovic. If only Mikel would have a mean shot in himself, would bring anew dimension to our game.

No mate, as far as I know everyone can play it. I've had no trouble with it as of yet .
