Sheva.

Well obviously. Drogba is 5x the striker Torres is. If we had Falcao, Torres will be on the bench etc. But we don't, we only have Torres, and that's why he plays. And until now, he's been doing pretty well, so he shouldn't still be getting so much stick.

And my point is, he has scored more goals for us under RDM than anyone else. Be it against QPR or Arsenal. And it's not like he's been having shockers, like he had last season, which would lead to him getting benched. He played badly against QPR and Juve, but every other game he's done well, either by scoring or making great plays for the team. Everyone can see this, but some *cough* just choose to ignore it. Just like they do with Mikel, only highlighting when he does something bad. Your point about Ivanovic just reinforces my point really lol.

Maybe because he's been our top scorer under RDM?

Weird post. Tenancy to dive? he did so in just one game. Replacement for Lampard? he isn't, he plays in a different position, and is a completely different player. Future leader of men? lmao, does he have to be? as long as he continues to produce for the club, what does it matter. There will be other leaders on the team.

So far this season we have beaten 3 (Newcastle, Arsenal, Spurs) of the 5 teams that finished above us last season. In 6 matches against those 3 in the league last season, we came out with just 1 win and 6 points total.

You should be scared actually mate. I'm always confident we will play well against them, but you just know they will get some lucky shitty call from the ref.

Yes.

Played well. I just love how much effort he puts in, late in the 2nd half he was back in his own box blocking a shot from Defoe i think it was.

Oh dear.

Tough game, but we can keep up our good form there. 3 or 4 changes should be made to the side though with the Man utd game in mind, Moses, Azpi, Lampard and Sturridge should all start.

Lennon was very dangerous today, i hate when he plays against us - its a good thing he constantly fades in and out of games though.

After they scored the 2nd they sat back and never recovered. They did the same at OT, but United could not punish them.

Yes can't blame him for the one that went wide, that's just bad luck, the ball didn't curl back in on time. But the one where he raced clear of everyone, any kind of shot and old man Friedel would not have saved it.

Was good in the first half, nice passing and dribbling. Second half he should have definitely score though.

Brilliant game. MAZACAR brilliant as usual, double pivot good once again, 4 goals again, top of the league

3 point lane

What a ball by Torres before all that though, wow.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Sturridge coming on.

Spurs ended the first half well, but we have done well in general, need another goal though.

Wow.....

Torres doing well.

Close.
