You're right, but I still hate seeing Spuds win. That match was a microcosm of their season. Play like complete drab shit and squeak by with a lame 1-0 win. Would be totally undeserved if they can pip any of the current top 4 by the end of the season.Just look at their embarrassing goal difference compared to everyone around them.

Spuds are fucking terrible.

Vidal for me.Absolute pit bull in midfield and an excellent tackler.

LOL!Vidal too for that matter. We'd well and truly piss the league.

Kinda sucks how we're getting used to him being in the side and making us look like a different team and then as soon as the CL returns we won't have him. If we manage to get past Galatasaray he'll be a huge miss for us against better sides. We'd make a real run at it if he wasn't cup tied.

I also saw some clown on there say that Hazard "isn't in Agüero's league," and that there are 4-5 players in the league who are better than him. City's money has blinded some of their supporters who have probably followed the club since 2011. After Arsenal supporters they're the most smug fanbase I've encountered recently. Holier than thou attitude like United have where they think they should blow everyone off the pitch and that their players are better than anyone else's. Deluded.

Eden Hazard almost makes me wanna go homo. Absolutely world class. Unplayable.

Still allowing them too much around our box. A better side would've scored once or twice there. Need to focus more this half. This match needs a 3rd to kill it.

Please don't let us play like we aren't arsed. Pedal to the metal straight from the start. Don't give them belief that they can win by allowing an early goal or a few shots on target. Boot the the throat!

Must fucking win! Just keep giving it to Hazard. Get him going early.

Exactly. Not a chance in hell Liverpool do this to us.Arse has Cazrola, Özil, Ox, and Arteta in midfield. Getting passed through like they're nonexistent. We HAVE to win matches like today's. Liverpool not being in Europe will help them massively, so we need to pick up 3 points in matches like this against weak sides.

LOLOLOLOL ARSENAL! Best midfield in the league, huh Arsenal?

Arsenal getting fucking abused in midfield. Think we'd smash both of these. No way Liverpool would do this to us.

That sucks. Shouldn't be that big of a miss against Newcastle though.Hope it's just a niggle and nothing that'll keep him out for any more than just today.

Another thing I love about Suarez's game is that he isn't scared to try the improbable. He's the best at improvising in and around the box and will take a shot from ridiculous angles. He tries things that you don't see any other striker in the league take. It would be refreshing seeing a striker actually threatening the target for us. Torres, Ba, and Eto'o get the ball and fumble and bumble around and give it away more often than not. Suarez has the ability to take on 2 or 3 in the box and still score or hit the target. He's exactly what we need.

Reading these "flat track bully" comments. Shit, if we bought Suarez and he did for us exactly what he's doing now where he destroys all of the smaller teams I'd be delighted. We already do well against the top sides without a top striker. It's the matches like West Ham, Newcastle, Stoke and the like where we struggle at times to score. We would be absolutely gone and out of sight this season with Suarez. We wouldn't have to be nervous or anxious ahead of some of these games like we have been over recent seasons. We'd have the Man City effect that their current side had up until we just spanked them. Teams would be terrified and demoralized before taking a step on the pitch. Imagine being a player on a side like Sunderland or Hull or whatever other shit side and seeing Suarez, Hazard, Willian etc lining up across from you. Knowing you have almost no chance of stopping all of them. I'd gladly see Roman trigger the release clause if it exists. He's proven wrong thus far any concerns people had about his behavior. He's focused entirely on his football and has stayed completely out of trouble.

---------------------Ba------------------------ Hazard----------Oscar----------Schürrle -----------Lampard-------Matić------------- Cole---------Terry-------Cahill-----------Iva ---------------------Cech------------------------

Wish we could clone Azpi too.

Cavani or Suarez for me. Cavani if he does indeed want to leave PSG or Suarez if Liverpool miss top 4. Make Liverpool an offer they can't refuse and Suarez can be our last ever mega-cash signing before this FFP era starts. We would seriously be fucking unstoppable with Suarez in the form he's in now. And why do papers keep linking Cavani with United? That's the absolute LAST position they'd need to buy a huge money singing. RvP, Rooney, Welbeck, and Hernandez. Why the hell would they need another striker. That's Daily Fail for you.

That explains it then.

Not a Mandzukic fan myself. I think he's been made to look better than he really is because he's surrounded by the best squad in the world. Just like Mario Gomez. He's left Bayern now and I've literally not heard his name since. Think it's pretty clear Bayern feel the same since they've signed Lewandowski. I think he'd flop here.

Hope José is watching him here and seeing why he should be avoided at all costs. Absolute cunt and instigator. He actually seeks out trouble and just doesn't seem to care. He gets frustrated and can't be controlled. Just a nasty player.

Just watching that Hazard video on the last page again. Notice how fucking lazy Yaya is defensively and without the ball. Just casually jogging around like he isn't bothered.

**Game is on USA rather than NBC for fellow Americans here due to the Olympics.** I'd go with a Lamps-Matic pivot and give Schürrle and Cole starts. Salah can replace Hazard or Schürrle later in the second half. As long as we lock down the midfield I'm extremely confident we'll win. That's why it's imperative that Matic starts in this or any big Premier League match. We can't afford to play Ramires-Lamps or Mikel-Lamps and just get bypassed in midfield with a single ball which happens often whenever those partnerships play.
