thats what people said about the arsenal game too. the point is HOW EXACTLY are united going to hurt us. we know how jose is going to set up away from home. also, LVG and his "philosophy" plays right into our hands.

why not? watch the "chelsea : KINGS of Europe" video and how cech describes the messi penalty. not moving, not giving away which way he is going to dive and forcing the striker to choose the more difficult option of smashing it in the far corner rather than just passing it the other way, the GK deserves the credit for that.

if we dont have costa and remy fit, this is exactly what we will NEED. schurrle up top is poor as we have already seen last season, DD simply is not there and should not be starting. the best option will be cesc.

cech was the GK and deserves all the credit when a goal is not scored from a pen. also, messi and schweini hit the bar and the post. so cech does not deserve any credit for those too?

courtois iva GC JT luis matic rambo willian oscar hazard cesc if costa is not fit that is. if he is fit, i dont see how we would not win with him against those wooden idiots that they call CBs.

WWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!!!! just wow!!! fantastic performance. unbelievable performance!!! we are playing some amazing, out of the world football at the moment and hope it continues. cech - good performance. dealt with everything brilliantly. saved a penalty. still world class!!! filipe - got a nice run in before the united match. is a handful going forward and defensively solid.. JT - how did he score in that counter. he is 33 years old. just brilliant!!! CLL. overall performance was awesome too. zouma - good performance. no nonsense defending. and dealt with every threat very well. iva - another brilliant performance. he keeps on showing why he DESERVES to be our no.1 RB. although he played more like a RW. next up will be ANGEL. will be very interesting to see that match up. matic - awesome as usual. broke up play really well. used the ball well. poor penalty to concede though. fab - was not as influential as usual. he gets some time off before the united match. with costa and remy injured, wont be suprised if he plays up top. willian - brilliant performance. ran all thru the game. dribbling, link up play were really good. very unlucky as to not get a goal with that shot. oscar - same as willian. workrate was phenomenal. hazard - really dont have words to describe this performance. how? simply how did he do this? unbelievable performance. he was gliding/floating all over the field. the maribor defenders are going to have some sleepless nights. remy - was really good till he was on the pitch. very unlucky to get the injury and specially in the way he did. subs - DD - showed he still has something to offer. held the ball beautifully. that clip to hazard was orgasmic. and DD scoring the goal was just the best thing that could happen to me. ake - what a ball!!!! what a fucking beauty from the kid!!! even his overall performance was brilliant (though not that shot). hope he starts against shrewsbury.

rested for united.

so no costa, rambo and shirley? courtois azpi zouma JT luis mikel matic salah willian hazard remy oscar deserves a rest specially since he is pivotal to our defending deep tactics which we will employ at OT. as azpi is suspended for PL, he should start.

weird game. 2 reds though cant say that they were undeserving. the game was end to end and very high tempo. we controlled and dominated it for the majority it but had a few anxious minutes towards the end. another 3 points, and a perfect weekend. courtois- made some great saves at the start of the match to keep us in the game. azpi - stupid tackle. if u go in with r studs up then its bound to give u a red. JT - was solid as usual. 500th appearance as our Captain. CLL. GC - had a shambolic start to the game. seemed hung over or something. but made it up brilliantly with that tackle towards the end of the match. and what a tackle that was. iva - had a good game. brilliant workrate. provided the width whenever required when we went a man down. defensively was barely troubled. matic-poor game by his standard. even the azpi tackle was made after he lost the ball and not for the first time. definitely controlled the game after both teams were reduced to 10 men but definitely could not control the speed in the start. cesc - good game and what a goal. BEAUTY!!! absolute BEAUTY!!!! another wonderful pupper master performance where he controlled everything. hazard - good game. but he needs to be a little selfish. what was the use of that pass to remy when he was literally thru on goal. and that was not the only time. sometimes he should be a little selfish. oscar - MOTM. another brilliant performance. that workrate was just immense. i just hope that he gets a rest for maribor after the internationals and the amount of running he did today. a well deserved rest, i would say. a beauty of a freekick but the amount of tackles and interceptions he made was just crazy. willian - good performance. nothing flashy or streaky. good workrate and link up play. remy - nice hold up play. decent movement. dint get many chances to score though. that turn towards the end of the match was brilliant. overall a decent performance. subs - luis - dont understand why people so desperately want azpi to be dropped or iva to be dropped. if it was iva who had made a mistake as poor as luis' today, he would be castrated. salah - decent cameo. could have put remy thru rather than trying to go past 3 people. DD- atlast it seemed like he gave a damn!! ran and closed people down. won some headers. hope we see more of this DD.

this is not good... why no costa? he played for spain. fucking spurs. blooody shit soldado.

pathetic is being kind to them.

hardly anything lamps did. aguero had the ball for 4 seconds inside the spurs box without any pressure on the ball. anyways 1-1. kompany sleeping.

who the fuck is fazio? who the fuck is mason? why the hell is spurs even playing?

he has already scored against us and not celebrated.

any1 have a link for the chelsea u-21 game?

fair enough but i dont think romeu's chances of making the team is any better than moses'. if moses continues to perform the way he has, and salah does what he is doing right now then moses' chances is better cos of the HG quota. on the other hand, romeu will be behind cesc, ramires, matic and does not make the HG cut too. add to that the fact that we may be buying khedira or pogba, which makes his chances as very poor (not to forget MVG).

if not for the injury, i would say moses. that performance against city deserves a lot of credit. also bertrand has been real good.

ake WILL get some playtime with the senior team specially with the fixture congestion during that time. the others will be playing european competitions (U-19) which is better than playing in the championship.

why "thud"? seems fair!!!

dont have a good feeling about this one. plus that warnock is anyways annoying with his cribbings.

belgium decision making in the final third has been shocking. origi is worse the kalou in that aspect. had 10 pounds on them. gonna lose it.

I think reus is better than ribery but I don't think that u can use injuries to prove that. Reus is as injury prone as ribery if not more. Dont forget that ribery is 30 and is bound to get some injuries while reus is supposed to be in the prime of his physical fitness.

nothing "unlucky" there. he did a TORRES.

first things first, when i said that these players would walk into any team, i meant it to show that their CLASS sets them apart so much that if they are available, they start, something which is not the case with LUIS right now. secondly, i have read your posts about CR and now u called him a "stat whore". any person who has such opinions of a 2 time ballon dor winner, is not worth having an argument against. also, a lot of people thought that robben would not start for a pep team. as much as i so bayern, i think robben was one of the main players in pep's bayern last season, so their goes your cr wont start for pep team argument.

How does suarez fit the barca philosophy? Having messi play second fiddle to suarez is a far bigger challenge than having CR adjust his game style specially considering the fact that messi continued playing thru the center despite someone like aguero in argentina and zlatan in barca. The arrogance and high headedness of that one is just unreal.Ribery and robben had a very bad relationship. Both had wanted to leave bayern cos of the other. 2012 cl final is proof of that spat. Agree about bastian. Injury wise he won't make it. But like the WC showed, he is still the best CM around.
