Is this supposed to be a joke? What did we do against barca in the semi at the bridge!!!???Also, the difference in class of teams we have "parked the bus" against (barca, bayern, liverpool, united, city) is far far less than the difference in class of chelsea and sunderland currently.

What about the first leg? The cl final? Anfield last season? OT last season? Vincente calderon?

see, now i just love this post!!! saying iva is "exception" at times has got to be the BIGGEST understatement of the year. the guy has basically played as a winger or atleast as a right wing back in most of our games. next, you want our fullbacks to attack but complain about the space left behind by the one who does a lot of attacking. infact which of dani alves, jordi alba, marcelo etc etc (who are the best attacking fullbacks in the world) dont leave space behind them??!!! iva on the other hand has been quite good in attack as well as being solid in defensive. also, if our fullbacks are the main reason for our attacks then i have to say "WELL DONE JOSE!!! 48 GOALS IN 20 MATCHES THIS SEASON!!! GOOD USE OF AZPI AND IVA AS OUR FULLBACKS!!!!" also, on how many instances did we find hazard and willian getting double marked on the wings against sunderland? i can barely remember any. they are the wingers, it is their job to provide the width even if it means getting double marked. and then our fullbacks can provide the overlap and the adequate support which they ALWAYS do. one poor result, and people are starting to find faults in our system as if we have gone months without scoring.

8mil. but he has potential though very injury prone. marin on the other hand

JT, DD, cech, iva, rambo and GC.

DELUDED!!!!! level of delusion here. but let me not break your delusions that we need to change all 4 of our defenders for the next season. i am sure that jose will "SORT" out our defense. we will talk when we start the next season and lets see what all changes jose makes to our back line. PS - a "bad" result really shows whose who!!! "the defence needs sorting" one of the LOLLEST comments i have read!!!

i hate these 3 words "PARK THE BUS".. it was a solid defensive performance from sunderland. whats more, they had better chances to score in the last 15-20 minutes than we had in the whole game. saying "parking the bus" is belittling a good defensive performance.

Another brilliant argument.sunderland would have had 5+ men in the middle but while having hazard and willian free out wide? LOLOLOLOL. Its called stretching a defence. And if you think that wide players staying wide against a packed defence would not have helped in breaking down a defence, then I have nothing to say to you.

scratch that. Our whole defensive system is flawed accorsing to some. All the 4 defenders that are currently playing are not suited to the system or playing in the wrong position and that is the main reason why we dint score today. Height of over - reaxction on here.

So iva dint provide width? That has to be the understatement of the year. Also, you need defensive stability to provide as a perfect base to any team. We sold one of the best mobile ball playing center backs in the last window, we have a very good left back on the bench who provides width but has been very average defensively. Our problem today was NOT that our fullbacks dint provide thw width, it was the fact that hazard and willian dint providw the width. Fullbacks are good in an attack when used on the overlap rather than being the primary target out wide. But forget all of this. Clearly I have no clue and whatsmore, jose is as clueless in your books since he has willingly chosen GC over DL and azpi over luis.

LOLOLOL.

whats scary is that rambo was not on the bench today!!!

No lack of idiots in the world.

oh.. what an argumwnt. So tell me. You want our defence "sorted" for not conceding a goal or for not scoring a goal? Typical reaction of people in the face of an adverse result.

courtois azpi GC JT luis matic rambo schurrle oscar hazard remy cesc looked knackered towards the end. think remy should start with DD as sub!!!

how many goals did we concede? any team in the world will be defensively circumspect when you have 7 or 8 players in the attack.

this place is awesome after a poor result. the same people who were banging on about our starting 11 and in the pre-match thread, 99% of the people had the same line ups as today, are now critisizing jose for using that line up? thats just LOL. credit where its due, sunderland were pretty good defensively. courtois my MOTM.

what a suprise of a line up??? jopefully we smash them!!!!!!!!

LOL

you are right in one thing, we will lose when we take our eye off the ball. and hence why i feel this wont be the match in which that happens. this has to be a match where the players feel up for it and would want to take revenge for the last season. just cant see us failing in this match.

They cost us the title last season. I seriously CAN NOT imagine the team and jose not being up for it. Just can't see us slipping in this one.

You definiyely dint read what people wrote about him after the schalke game. There was nothing constructive in that criticism AT ALL. Saying things like - DD is here simply cos of his relationship with Jose is totally asenine specially when jose sold the backbone of his former chelsea team - lamps. DD was here as a squad player and a presence in the dressing room. A personality to have who can talk to the hazards and oscars of the team. Doubting jose and DD's intentions towards the club is probably the worst slight anyone can ever say. He needed time to adapt, to regain his fitness.

bvb v arsenal is like watching arsenal v arsenal. shit match so far!!!!

Time for revenge. Just kick them when they are down. Please. I WANT REVENGE FOR LAST SEASON.
