Sheva.

Watched the first 30 minutes of the Liverpool game. Gomel are really shit, Liverpool completely dominated and should have scored more than 3. Suarez was his usual lively self, ( but he still can't finish) and he linked up well with Borini - who scored a pretty good goal. Carroll will struggle to get in the team imo, Borini looks so much better than him.

Pretty sure that is made up, why would they pay him so much? doubt even Ibra or Silva are getting anything close to that.

On the topic of Malaga, i'm actually a bit disappointed. Was looking forward to seeing them spend big and finally provide competition for Barca and Madrid.

He should not have been allowed to play, but it's such a big game that i can understand letting him do so. How many times in his football career will he get a chance to play in a Super cup? and also the fact that he played a big part in helping Atletico get there.

Hilarious, i thought at first Alves cleared the rebound, but saw on replay Rooney fired it miles wide All in all was a decent game, Barca should have scored at least 1 though (in normal time)

They were interested in him, and they was some talk of a bid, don't know how true is that. He could have turned down PSG and try to push for a move to Man utd.

Lmao, Man utd rejected by yet another player. But no big deal, he's just a money grabber who wasn't needed at OT anyway

I'd rather have him as RW against Brighton, than Ramires. So i'm happy if this happens.

There's nothing wrong with getting excited about Oscar's performances in the Olympics. He's a young player doing very well against players in the same age bracket, it would have been understandable if your argument was over people getting excited with someone like Hulk tearing everyone apart, which funnily enough he isn't doing Anyway i watched him before the Olympics in friendlies against Denmark, USA and Argentina (like Land mentioned) and he impressed me there also.

De Laurentiis wants to sell Cavani for around 35m-40m, because he did not have a positive discussion with Edinson when he flew to Cardiff to talk about his contract demands. Chelsea are willing to offer 30m, which Napoli don't consider enough. But negotiations are still ongoing.

Is it 35m € or £?

Goal for Brazil. Oscar assist.

Lewandowski or Soldado. 2 realistic options.

"So they're back! @ryanbertrand3, @juanmata10, Daniel Sturridge and Oriol Romeu... #CFC (SL)"

I would play 4-3-3 for this game, as long as Marin is available. ---------Cech-------- Ivan---Cahill---JT---Ash Rambo--Mikel---Lampard Marin---Torres---Hazard I expect a couple things to be different from the game against Brighton, first off there's no Meireles to do stupid things when we have the ball. And Ramires won't be on the wings wasting every single ball that comes his way, those crosses The midfield is still a source of concern, but we don't really have much better options atm.

Hulk is not very good....

Exactly, my main problem this preseason has been team selection. First 2-3 games doesn't matter, but after that i expected to see better selections than what RDM provided.

Actually it is an excuse, you saw how we played today, that is exactly how we played quite a lot of times last season. Keep possession, fail to break down opposition, then concede on the counter. You can almost tell everything that is going to happen before the game even starts. And when i saw the line up today i just had a bad feeling about the game. As for Marin, he will/should surely play a lot, he gives us genuine pace and width. Just needs to be better in his decision making.

Fucking hate it when i criticize a player and he scores the next freaking minute

Good point, Hazard and Marin have only started one game together also. And it's been clear we play differently when they are both in the side.

Red for Honduras.

Indeed, i think because of what he did last season RDM wants to find a way to keep him in the side, but if i was a manager he wouldn't start most games, tbh. I would rather have someone like Benayoun in there in place of Marin than Ramires. At least he can pass.

On the formation, there's nothing wrong with the 4-3-3, the problem was we had no width. Hazard kept cutting inside and Ramires was just fooling around.

The whole "it's preseason" excuses doesn't count anymore, it's been 5 games of preseason. That excuse only applies to first couple games when everyone is still not sharp. And i don't even care about the results (before someone attacks me lol) because like i said already, we have been playing the same team as last season, so you can't expect drastic changes. When the season starts, and we have Hazard, Mata, Oscar, and hopefully our new striker up there, then make your judgments.

90% of the goals we concede comes after one genius fucks up when we have the ball, leaving everyone out of position and spaces everywhere.
