Sheva.

Villareal look really good. Just can't finish, reminds me of some team...

Btw, how does Hazard get triple teamed every time and still we can't exploit spaces in other areas? everyone just stands and no great runs anywhere.

Everton players wanted to die on the pitch to get the win, it's disgusting how this happens against us every time. Then we go and miss easy chances, and concede a pathetic goal, sigh.

Eto'o lost the ball a couple times but he's been good. That Schurrle chance happened because of him, and he also created one for Ramires. Unlucky not to score, perhaps he rushed a bit though.

Everyone was out of position because of Ramires. Mikel was wide, Luiz went to cover for Ramires, Ivanovic did for Luiz. Just a complete clusterfuck.

Ramires gifted them that goal, what a touch lol.

Mata and Hazard together again

Eto'o our striker in the league. Torres in Europe where there's more space for him to operate.

Ozil will create many chances, but Arsenal don't have the kind of quality Madrid had to put those in the back of the net 99% of the time.

You don't win many things if your defence is leaking goals on a regular basis. The best teams score many goals because they're superior to others, but they also do not concede as many as others.

He will be, players who didn't play for their club usually get preference the first game back from the break. Mourinho was just letting the media know a lot of times some players won't even be on the bench, but he might be resting them for the next game.

Brazil are really impressive. Especially that midfield - Rambo, Paulinho, Gustavo, Oscar and Hernanes - damn.

We don't always get what we want...

Cech vs Courtois is a no brainer imo. The former has been nothing short of amazing for us, but at the same time we can't lose a goalie who can be our number 1 for the next decade, and then some. I dont think Cech will leave next season, but the year after, when Courtois has had a year to settle.

This is a Mourinho team though, so they will probably not be a lot of space to exploit lol. It should be a good game though, i'm looking forward to who Jose puts up against Baines. I would like Willian, because this would restrict Baines from bombing up the field every time, or risk being left for dead.

Sigh.

Good to see Pato back playing for Brazil. He can make the WC squad if he doesn't get injured.

Ronaldo, so good.

Essien 70k. And he'll never play

"I said what I thought people wanted me to say. It was completely messed up. I drove the club’s Audi and stood there and nodded my head. I hardly even yelled at my team-mates any more. I was boring. Zlatan was no longer Zlatan"

Why are Madrid the reference point though? i know it was Mou's last team, but it's not like they won anything with the fewer options they had. If anything, our squad right now is built to last a whole season - something we couldn't have said last season. We had to play Bertrand or Ramires on the wings more than a few times, and that hurt us due to how restricted both are in the position. Not to mention Yossi and Marin who never did anything of note while coming off the bench. Now we can still field good teams when we have games every 3 days, or an away trip in Europe and not lose a tremendous amount of quality. Finally like Mourinho said - I'd rather have a team with too much options and quality than one with few like last season or even worse, the season with Carlo when all we had on the bench were youth team players.

Drogba. So much depth, we're better now than we were last season.

We can't have 4 strikers, and no one would pay 3m for Ba.

Going to celebrate Mata staying like, its a new signing.

Getting players out on loan?
