hahahahha... true that. but u have to admit that bertrand has been very unlucky with injuries in the last 2 seasons.

beast. a really good shot too, very physical but dont think his passing is that quality.. atleast not that i have seen.but still would be better than mikel/lamps/essien alongside rambo.

A(nother) V(acany) B(eckons)...

THIS. it can not always be GCs fault or JTs fault or DLs fault. right now we dont need a new CB, what we need is a new DM. get sven/witsel. please.

should be sold in the winter. him + BA can get us about 15-20 mil. add another 20 to it and we have witsel

this PL is gonna be AWESOME....

Wht does everyone have Mata in their team? Oscar has looked a little rusty after his injury. I would think that this would be the perfect game to get him to his best before the arsenal game.

we have mikel, why do we need KI? infact i would take tiote/schniederlin before KI. and KI seriously??? people are actually discussing the possibilty...

they are not an in-form side. draw against everton, loss to napoli, loss to city and believe me they got outplayed in all of these 3 matches. not a sign of an in-form team. if we had had such results, we would be in "crisis" by now.

i am not one to defend luiz and his on the field antics but our defensive "crisis" is not his fault. selling him and buying another CB would not solve the problem but would actually compond on the problem. luiz had a poor match and that was not cos he came to play after some weeks or something, he was great against bucuresti and i dint see any rustiness there. he was bad today, any defender who gets nug-megged twice in a match by jerome would have been poor. but as i was saying, our defensive problems lies in our midfielders. the cover provided by our DMs specially without oscar's workrate is shambolic. hence we have GC and DL having a hard time. while one defender keeps backing off, the other simply can help himself from trying to steal the ball off the STs foot. we require a DM more than a CB to change our fortunes.

why would u want to keep essien but sell mikel? buying shaw while we have 2 fine LBs? luiz is fine in my opinion, only problem is our DM who simply provide good enough cover. as for ST, i am still on the fence. even if we do sell ba/torres, who do we buy? is there a good enough ST left in the market. hence for me out - essien, BA in - sven bender/witsel.

half the "world cup year" is already over. cant see us selling him cos he could play 10 more games for some other team in the remaining 3 months. bundesliga already has lesser games than PL, kdb will be cup-tied for the CL and u have to say that he will take sometime to settle into bvb/leverkusen. so what exactly is gong there for? december/jan is the busiest of the months in PL, while the bundesliga has holidays, also idont think we would sacrifice our squad strength so easily.

how did he not even get a card for that???

jose's team selection was poor, but the criticism he is getting here is OTT. are we not 2nd in the league, 2 points off the top only with the chance of being a point up and top of the table in 10 day's time. we topped the group in CL and have should get relatively easy teams to face, and are in the QFs of the COC.

with the way mata and jose acted towards each other, cant see him being our player next season. so i cant see how we will let go off both mata and kdb. kdb will probably have to take a back seat this season but he ll get his chances in the nest season.

dint know that. but this guy has one of the worst lucks.

or had won against wba at the bridge after being a goal up.

i dont think so. i feel both the teams are going to be very wary of each other. arsenal after dropping points to everton, losing to napoli and getting thumped by city would simply not want to lose and on the other hand we know how we are playing and so would go defensive. expect a hopelessly cagey match with a moment of magic separating the teams.

has looked so off the pace in the last 2 matches. should start the sunderland match to get back to his best.

thank god iva is suspended. if bertrand does not play then he should put in a transfer request. schwarzer azpi GC kalas bert mikel lamps schurrle oscar kdb ba.

keep on barking, puppy!!!

this match shows that the problem is not our defence but the fact that our mid so easily allow the opposition forwards to run at our back 4. simple as that.

crystal palace probably dint have a good move or barely one or 2. it was the set-pieces that were threatening us, we failed to take any oppurtunities that came our way. our finishing was horrendous, i mean how can u say that we were not sloppy when even one aspect of our game was not average.
