seriously dont mean to sound cocky or dont mean to start another luiz/cahill debate but at this moment, cahill/luiz picks itself too and it is cahill without a doubt.

very true dude. i mean in all my life i have never seen a CF who has scored against a team that has played a low block. oh wait!!!!!! what an argument. and etoo played as a false 9? etoo was supposed to be our ST, we dint play a false 9. where did u get that idea. if he was loitering on the wings, it was cos he could get no purchase against the CBs not cos he was employed as a false 9. also etoo was marked by 3 men, still our mids could not get any space between the derby defence, exagerration much!!! as for his "first time decent balls", are u talking about his simply passes?cos i dont remember any of etoo's passes leaving us in a scoring oppurtunity or even close to that. as for the chance, his touch was poor but if he had the pace of THE ETOO in his prime (2007, i would say), he would have made up for it, if u think the etoo of today has the same pace, then u have not watched him, AT ALL. all u have done here is give reasons of why he could not be of any use yesterday (just like a lot of torres fanboys do), and exaggerate the role of defences (marked by 3 men, LOL, i doubt if any team would even mark MESSI with 3 men forget about etoo), and then exponentially increasing the importance of etoo's passes (first time decent passes). all in all, he played 65 minutes, and could not score. if he was playing as a false 9, he could score and created zilch and had absolutely no imapct on the game.

its strange that we dont have a "WE LOVE MOYES" thread on here.

Father, I just dint think it necessary to bring my A-game for u.As for etoo, he had a dreadful game. Could not hold the ball, has lost tons of pace (pretty evident from the chance he got in the first half where despite being in about 20meters of space he could not get a shot off). His movement was pedestrian ans hence oscar had to settle for long range shots or a simple wide pass to rambo/azpi most of the times. He had no impact on the game whatsoever, atleast no positive impact. But do agree with your last statement thiugh

Did I hit some nerve!!! But as u know its a forum and I have all the right to take as much space on a page or rather the whole of the page if I want. If it makes u want to cry and whine like a little bitch then stop reading them or does all this whining make u feel good??? But as I had said a few matchea before, keep barking puppy.

What happened puppy??? Can't face the bitter truth about your fav player etoo... perhaps u should watch yesyerday's first half again to see how pathetic he really is.Also for someone who is not asking for my opinion and does not care about, u do still keep replying to it regularly. LOL

Oh david!!!!

How did I miss THAT!!! Was mikel really the captain when he scored??? Mikel now becomes CLL.

The point now is who to buy??? Even if we want to buy

A very difficult away game. They gave us a hard time even at the bridge if u take out the first fifteen minutes. Games like these ultimately prove to be the difference between PL winners and 2/3rd place. With our players atlast getting a weeks rest, I expect the full fledged team to play plus a really good performance. Cech Azpi-GC-JT-COLE MIKEL-RAMBO WILLIAN-OSCAR-HAZARD TORRES. for the firat time I would be very surprised if there is even one differenxe between the expexted line up and jose's line up.

He scores when he wants, he scores when he wants. JON OBI MIKEL, he scores when he wants.

absolutely. how do u rate nothing??

poor first half. poor team selection from the gaffer, but job done in the end. schwarzer - comfortable performance and another clean sheet for the aussie. 7/10 cole - good performance by the veteran. brilliant interception in the first half. seemed very tired towards the end and let them run a couple of times but a deserved week's rest. 8/10 luiz - a hot and cold performance. gave the ball away once, got nut megged before mikel tackled the attacker. not a performance that would see him displacing GC. 6/10 GC - another good and solid performance. brilliant from the CB. 8/10 azpi - endless running. should be our first choice RB without a doubt. 8/10 essien - another poor performance. cant wait for the day he leaves now. slow, pedestrian and simply does not give us anything. 5/10 mikel - brilliant performance. his long passing today was phenomenol. couple of change of plays and that long ball to willian was simply perfect. broke the play too and crowned it all with a goal. a brilliant tackle when luiz and cole lost their man. MOTM. 9/10 ramires - very poor performance on the wings. cant understand the logic to play rambo on the wings with players like mata, kdb, schurrle available. 6/10 oscar - only one who was creating in the first half. always looked like scoring and did so in the end. good performance. 8/10 willian - brilliant workrate but some of his decision making in the last third is SHOCKING. nonetheless, he and oscar seem to have some brilliant understanding. 7/10 etoo - oh please. do i really need to. hopeless, useless, pathetic. subs - hazard - influenced the game like u would expect him to. a couple of times he should have taken a shot but just passed but a good super-sub performance. 8/10 torres - could not get as much purchase as i had expected against a side looking to score a goal and when we were countering. lost the ball a couple fo time. 6/10 baker -n/a jose- very poor team selection. no bertrand, and kalas while continuing azpi. rambo on the wings. and i dont give him the credit for the sub cos it was too obvious. 5/10

oh thank the mother of god!!! hazard atlast !!! and never did i think i would say this, i would be glad if torres came on.

what a ball from milkel and what a fuck up by rambo.

just have feeling, if we concede the 1st one today, we are out of fa cup.

and not once have i said anything different about bertrand or shaw. but with cole being 33, u would expect shaw to be his replacement. why is ryan getting the stick here? next year we will have to buy 2 LBs. plus how much would ryan be worth. he is a back up of a back up option right now, totally out of favor and plays for a big team like chelsea who anyways sell players lower than their normal value.

in his one league performance he was more than just ok. in the cup games especially against arsenal he was brilliant. so on what context do u want to say that he should be treated the way he is. if u think cole would not be given an extension then even more reason to keep the one who has performed well on every oppurtunity given to him rather than buying 2 LBs. we have a midifield which is crying out loud for some changes. add to that our strikers woes so how does spending 20mil make sense right now while having more than just good enough options.

ryan has not been really good this season. in each and every of his performance he has been better than cole's. a lot of people expected him to replace cole when cole was dropped but suprisingly since then he has been "mysteriously" injured. so where do u want to move on and from what? good performances? luke shaw costs 20mil right now, something that would not make much of a difference even if he was bought cos when iva gets back jose will fall back to iva-GC-JT-azpi. so u want to spend 20mil for a player to be probably the 3rd choice LB, 4th choice full back when we have a perfectly good one in ryan.

if we win today, then its stoke at SB. our first home game in domestic cups this season

since he has not started kalas in any of the 4 "cup" games we have played so far, its safe to assume we have 7 first team defenders. and now we want to sell our replacement LB and go a defender short or even worse spend 20mil on a LB meanwhile in the limited oppurtunities ryan has got he has been really good, so where does the "not very good?" come from... also last time i checked ryan was back from his "injury" 2 weeks ago.

oscar, willian, azpi? no bertrand... why??? wtf!!!

chalobah is a better back-up CDM than essien at this moment.

important that we win today and dont suffer a re-play.

for the past 2 years he has been our POTY. he has been our best player in the season we won CL. under different circumstances mata would still have been our "THE" player. what stops mata from becoming a world class player is just his defensive liability. i am not over-rating his attacking prowess which pretty much speaks for itself.
