Pizy

He and Jack Wheelchair are the two most overrated players in England.Kompany is brilliant on his best days but mediocre a lot of the time.

aka the Arsene Wenger approach

Same as he says every time they play us.Only one team tried to win, they had 9 men in the box, blah blah blah

Beginning to hate that smug, loud mouth Pellegrino more than I do Wenger. Can't keep his mouth shut about us.

- League's top scorer OUT - League's top assist maker OUT - 20 year old CB making only 2nd ever start against best striker in the league - Ramires still fresh off of injury spell - Played 120 minutes just days earlier - Played against a side desperate for a win and contained them And people here are bitching.

Don't know if I've seen Azpi play a poorer match than that. He made Navas look like Robben today. He was getting past Azpi whenever he wanted. While Ramires played well, we desperately missed the creativity and tempo that Cesc provides. We were hardly able to get the ball to Hazard at all because of this. There was no real link between our CM and AM. Zouma is a beast, Ivanovic was decent, Matić was a monster for the most part, Willian did what he could but similarly to Hazard didn't have much help. Oscar was totally anonymous and he plays like this far too often. Happy with a point in the end.

We look totally clueless with in attack. No idea what to do with the ball and can't keep it for longer than a touch or two. We can't win like this.

Oscar just isn't consistently productive enough. He'll have a brilliant match and then go completely invisible the next. So poor that half. He needs to assert himself. This is why I think he'll be the one more often dropped for Cuadrado than Willian. Willian can be the #10. His performances are more consistent.

I'm so nervous!

I'd take an injury-free point to be honest. Not the end of the world.

Cahill must be embarrassed. To be honest, Silva and Agüero up against Zouma has me a tad worried. Hopefully he has a brilliant game. We don't have any game changing subs today by the look of it other than Drogba.

No leaked line up yet?

7-4=3 Half Life 3 confirmed.

Schürrle hat trick in his send off. Or better yet, a hat trick and we hang on to him.

Every time this thread gets bumped out of the blue my heart skips a beat thinking he has picked up an injury.

Sneak a non compete clause in his transfer agreement. Don't want to see him at Arsenal or something if he tears the Bundesliga up and earns another big move.

Looks like he has even less end product than Willian in that Scout Nation vid above. Didn't know that was possible. Reminds me of Lucas from PSG a bit in terms of play style.

He does. Actually think it looks cool.

Balotelli's 45 is the only one I can think of currently.

#74? Ewwwww.

He is dreamy, you must admit.

Never said he'd be a better all around player or anything, just that he'd be putting up better offensive stats than Oscar is.

Which is why I said offensively.

You have to say, at least offensively, he'd be better for us than Oscar is. Kev would be putting up huge stats with the players we have now. This may very well be one we seriously regret selling if he joins a PL rival soon. Slaying the Bundesliga.

City I could see. Don't see where he'd play at United since they're already crowded in midfield. Liverpool would be a side step.
