Very hard to make a level-headed assessment with the emotions still so high. But, at least mathematically, we should still be favorites.

I must say, he handled the situation very well. If I were him, I would have turned around and punched him so hard to knocck out his teeth so he won't bite anyone else!

Couldn't agree more. Locked.

Can't, just can't wrap my head around what happened. Suarez, who should not have been on the pitch, scores the equalizer after the six added mins, that should not have been added, were well over. That's not just to mention that Shelvey should have seen red for the tackle on Oscar; the same for Sturridge on Bertrand. "Robbed" is an understatement. Kevin Friend is a fucking idiot. Suarez will get the ban, but how in the world would that compensate for the two dropped points?!

Just when you think Toure couldn't become a bigger cunt...

Nah, definitely at Anfield because Torres will score today and kiss the Chelsea badge in front of the Kop.....a man can dream..

Our away support is actually one of the best in the league, it's just the crowd at SB that are often quite.

@OptaJoe 2m 20 - Manchester City are yet to lose in the Premier League this season when they have taken the lead, winning 20 of 22 games so far. Start.

I do hope all of our fans keep quite during the minute of silence. We don't need all the papers in the country slating us tomorrow. Some people have to realize there are bigger things than football in the world.

Is that a fusion between Xavi and Alonso? That would be one awesome player!

I'd heard that a car ran over his leg, but I didn't know it was his own

He can only operate in loads of space. I don't think he'll get any joy today.

lol wut? How do you even manage that?!

Does anyone know for sure where this guys plays? I've read one report saying he was an attacking midfielder and another saying he used to be a striker but was converted to RB!

We really should have too much for them, especially in midfield. We'll be fine as long as Frank does not start.

Well then, probability wise, we're due a win Suarez is actually completely off form, atm. Hasn't scored in 429 mins. Here are a few facts and stats about this match: - Chelsea have not managed to beat Liverpool in the league for three seasons, losing 4 of the 5 matches. - We have only won 1 of our last 6 trips to Anfield, failing to score in 3 of those matches. - Rafa is Liverpool's most successful manager in the PL era with a 55.3% win percentage. - Chelsea have won 4 of the last 5 PL matches keeping a CS in 3 of them. - Suarez is currently on 429 min PL goal drought while Torres hasn't scored in the PL for 907 mins.

Liverpool have really turned into our boogey team in the league. Have we managed to beat them since 2010?

The kind of player we need for the pivot. Too bad we haven't been linked with him.

But the thing is we can't make any bets on him so he's going to have to be 3rd choice RB is he is with the squad; Meaning we should have our first choice RB (obviously Azpi) and his backup (Iva, or someone else if Iva leaves) regardless if Hutch is in the squad or not. I said it before, I think he should retire and take bake the coaching position while he still can. Those reoccurring injuries could threaten his coaching career if he's not careful. But of course that's easy for me to say.

Give me a fourth place finish right now and I'll bite your hand off!

Yeah, perfect senario would be for City to beat Tottenham tomorrow and utd to win the league with a win against Arsenal.

For some reason it reminds me of a can of Pepsi..

Typically, 10-men Fulham with all the chances and Arsenal score with their first. Fucking lucky Arsenal

I see the problems in our midfield, I just don't see how a Toure style player could be the solution. That is assuming that by that you mean a physical B2B midfielder. For one thing, he does not fit in our current 4-2-3-1. A B2B midfielder, just like Lampard and Ramires, is best employed in a three man midfield because the pivot needs players with more discipline and who get on the ball more often. If you're talking about his physical strength, Toure gives an already physical City midfield an edge, but with players like Mata, Hazard and Oscar, we will never physically dominate oppnents, and we're not looking to do so. We are looking instead to dominate teams interms of position, and a Toure-like player will not help in that because he does not get on the ball enough. We are obviously not going to sign Toure himself, so again what do you mean by a "Toure style" player? Give me an example, name someone. If you mean someone who does what Toure is doing at City, good luck finding someone. Our team is completely different than when we had Maka and Essien, we play a completely different system as well. Toure would have been great next to them back then. No idea how Mikel comes into the equation because if we do get someone like Toure, he would be partnering Mikel in the pivot in the current set-up. Funny how you claim Mikel is not good when we've won so many trophies with him starting and even more laughable that you say he can't pass when he's statistically the best passer in the league! But I don't want to turn this thread into another Mikel discussion. The theme is these threads seems to be making one-line ridiculous claims about impossible players to sign. How about we add a bit of footballing value and depth to these 'discussions' and talk about some possible signings and why we should get them?
