Why start Oscar out of position when we have a natural wide player in Willian on the bench? Oh well. This lineup should be more than enough to get us 3 points.

I'm gonna rage if we drop points tomorrow. Heaven knows Arse and Spuds will win with our luck.

I hope someone like PSG comes in and offers Januzaj a shit load of cash and he leaves United.

You could see this coming from a mile a way. Just like I said. Bad teams always find ways to lose.

It's Sunderland. If United score 1 the flood gates will open.

United will either win this something like 4-1 or they'll equalize and then RvP will bail them out and score a 93rd minute winner from a freekick.

Lewandowski is impossible and Benzema is the opposite of what we need. He's too lazy.

Exactly like Arsenal, Liverpool have only had one tough fixture in which they scraped a 1-0 win, again, just like Arsenal. They still have all of their toughest games ahead. A bit hard to judge how good both Liverpool and Arsenal are thus far.

We really should be testing Liverpool's resolve in the next window for Suarez. He'd be utterly unbelievable with the players we have. He never stops working, retains the ball brilliantly even when he's surrounded and can score worldies or jammy goals like he has today. The perfect striker for our system.

You just can't make this up. Sturridge seems to score every game now. *sigh*

LUKAKU!!! Would have a hat trick already if the crosses were better.

Yeah, I'm not expecting Everton to get anything here. City will be playing angry after being annihilated by Bayern the other day.Wouldn't be surprised if Aguero got a hat trick I here.

Lukaku to bag a couple, please!

Unfortunately, I think Arsenal will win comfortably once more this weekend so the internet will continue to jizz all over the place about how incredible and happy Wenger is and how Arsenal are title favorites and all of the usual shit.

It would've been extremely dumb to loan Ba to Arsenal. With the service of Özil he'd have been banging them in. Moses was never gonna be more than a seldom used sub in lesser competitions. Couldn't see him dislodging any of our current crop.

I'd think our side would be better with Gündogan than Dortmund are now. Think Ramires and Gündogan would be brilliant together.Only way he moves though is if some club offers them money they'd be stupid to turn down. Which we can and should.

I think if we offered something between £30-35m they'd at least think about it. He's only 22 and already world class so whoever gets him is probably going to have to pay crazy money. This is one of those times where the club should just pay whatever it takes. A position we've been crying out for for the last few years.

Right, but you think they'd spunk another 30m on a player in that same position the very next year?

City just spent 30m+ on Fernandinho. Can't see them spending even more than that and benching one of them.United could've really done with him but bought Fellaini and are still after that kid from Bilbao. Our biggest rival for him in the league if we ever wanted him would be Arsenal. Özil, Mertesacker, Podolski, and Gnabry would make it an attractive place for him.

Benzema is one lazy motherfucker. Nearly every match I've seen him play over the past year or so he looks like he can't be bothered. Almost invisible a lot of games. A player like Gündogan/Verratti should be an ABSOLUTE priority if we want to take it to the next level. We would absolutely dominate most sides in midfield with a world class partner for Ramires. Add that to Lukaku returning with a years more experience at Everton and we'll be ready to win everything.

I absolutely DREAM of another Chelsea v Bayern final. How epic would that be?

How much would you guess?I'd say Modric type money would get him. At or around 30m, which I'd be ecstatic with is paying.

Indeed. Imagine him partnered with Ramires! Our CM would go from being the weakest area of our team to the strongest in the league.

I respect your opinion, but if Norwich aren't a lesser opponent (by which I mean if we were to play them in say, 10 straight matches, we'd probably win them all) then who is? Any side in the league that is a possible relegation candidate is a lesser opponent in my eyes.I'm not questioning the importance of the points. We must get the win, but this isn't City or United where we can't afford to take risks with our team.

He'd have every big club in the world after him. If you could design the perfect pivot player for Chelsea on a computer this guy would be it. Can't imagine how much he'd cost.
