Sheva.

The fuck? not just one but two? does he have parents? lol.

They're not a force, but they are still a big club and their games against other top clubs still attracts a lot of attention.

They didn't forget, just ignored

People should actually play football to play, not to sit on the bench and receive a hefty paycheck. I don't like Barton but i have new found respect for him because of what he said on twitter today: "I am not the type of player to sit on the sidelines and take the cash. It's not me. I could do that for the next 3 years but it's not me. I want to play football"

---------Cech---------- Ivan--Cahill--Luiz--Ash ---Mikel-----Lampard--- Moses---Mata---Hazard ---------Torres--------- I expect Ramires to start in place of Moses though. And i also hope Oscar gets significant minutes in this game.

LMAO, i remember when he tweeted this and some pessimistic people were saying he could mean Man utd, since they won CL in 2008

Why are you comparing a club and a national team? Spain didn't pay 16m and then keep the player - or players in this case - on the bench. There's no point at all in signing Moses especially, then getting Hulk - it's just wasting money and talents.

That was a foul outside the box at least, lol at the ref. Arsenal really can't do anything in Stoke's half despite all their possession and dominance of the game.

Because RDM prefers the midfield 2 of Mikel and Lampard. Essien will get his chance soon though as those 2 can't play every game.

Arsenal have been good really, need to do better in final third though.

Arsenal vs Stoke about to begin - Arsenal have their 3rd choice GK in goal.

Hazard, 4-6-0!!

But Hulk is not Ronaldo lol. We already have enough wingers/attacking midfielders as it is, there's no point in signing Moses if we were still going after Hulk.

Very good point, even though he's obviously fatigued he's still been very good for us so far. His link up play with Hazard has been excellent and the way they both switch positions has been brilliant to watch so far.

We don't need him imo, and while i like his abilities to get forward and beat people, i'm still not sure on his defensive abilities - very important for someone playing in the double pivot. I would prefer Witsel or Modric if he doesn't go to Madrid.

I agree with Justin actually, Torres has to repay the confidence shown by Roman to pay so much money for him, and also that of RDM to stick with him. Oh and you can't forget those fans at the Bridge who constantly cheer for him. But anyway he's had a good start to the season, just has to keep it up now.

Hazard.

Agree and credit to Ivanovic, he was good today.

RDM said he put him in the team to mainly help out with Ben Arfa and he did his job pretty well.

Did you watch them against Spurs? they were pretty poor in that too, and their 2nd team were also not very good in Greece.

Just to back this up, Mikel was also good in the last game with Lampard beside him. Meireles and Mikel were very good today, but no need to slate Lampard.

Very happy with the performance. Comfortable like mentioned above, superb goal by Torres and good performances from Bertrand, Hazard, Mikel, Meireles and pretty much everyone

Cech just made up for the goal he gave Reading.
