I think Ba starts for this one because of his good performance against Norwich and because he didn't have international duty and would be the freshers and also because, with Torres out, Jose would want to save eto'o for Schalke.

Well, not for me. Whenever I see him at fullback, I always see a CB playing out of position. A lot of positional mistakes and can't close down a cross for his life. And DD was a fullback when he was a teen while Iva made the "switch" when he was something like 24 and since then has never played exclusively at RB but still makes appearances at CB like last season when he played mostly at CB and only played at RB when we needed to rest Azpi. As for Henry, even when playing at ST, he's at his best when he drifts wide to receive the ball then cuts inside and runs at defenders. He never played as a conventional number 9.

Translation: Is there a problem for you at Chelsea?"No. It is the press who create a problem (laughs)." It's because we are worried for you, Kevin."That's not necessary. You're panicking for nothing. I have not made any comments about the club."

Jose, play a false 9? Not gonna happen! And before someone mentions the united match, No, he did not play a false 9, he just played Schurrle in the striker role.

Except Iva is originally a CB and was later moved to right back. Last season Luiz-Iva was our best CB pairing.

Yeah he was walking again, but when he went down he looked in a lot of pain and was stretchered off on that little car thing. In retrospective I think, he was just wasting time because his teamw as minutes away from getting the draw.

And due to the fact that last year we had a record number of matches...Not to mention that he was our main man last season in a 4-4-1-1, while this season we actually have a system built for the whole team and not just one player.

Jealous?

@, LMAOOO! :lol:

Hey, if you keep your current form, you'll win next season on any account.

Why are Bocca Juniors being coached by Larry David?

We have time. We should give Kalas and Omerue a chance before we go and buy a top defender..not that there are many of those in the market, atm.

Looking like yet another 3rd place finish for me...OMG I'm turning into Arsenal!

Uh-oh. Smauel down injured for Cameroon and he's going to be stretchered off Looked like a calf injury, hope it's nothing serious.. EDIT: He was walking again after being stretchered off, so it's not as bad as it first looked.

Kerry, I think a trip to the specsavers' is in order Welcome Jake. Hope you stick around and join the discussion

Yes, but I'm not talking about his overall play, just the dribbling which has been near impossible in most of our games this season, especially in the league.

Because with us he is always double-marked, double-marked and triple-marked.

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Reminds me of this:

Yeah but, for some reason, a (young)* woman without a bra is always sexier. *I said young before Tom posts a pic of a grandma with saggy breasts not wearing a bra

I was talking about the speed of execution as well. Some players don't rush moving the ball so they can have that extra fraction of a second to think of what exactly to do with it. And again there is a long list of world-class players that don't agree with you. I don't claim to know what Jose is thinking, but there are tactical reasons for team selection. Against Steaua, we did not Mikel in order to keep possession as they did not really fight for it, neither did they cause any major threat going forward so starting Frank to take advantage of his scoring abilities was the right call. For the same reason I expect Frank to start against Cardiff next weekend. Against Norwich, the game plan was to play long balls to Ba to exploit their CBs and keeper and so obviously Frank, being our best long ball passer, had to start. Jose himself said that Mikel has been playing great and doing an important job for the team after the Fulham game, I don't imagine that would have changed completely after only 45 minutes of football.

There's also his perfect hat-trick vs spuds.

Takes a lot of technical ability

Hey! I have those exact same glasses
