Not at all the type of striker we need, but people on here are making him out to be much much worse than he is. He's an excellent finisher but seriously lacks consistency.

I actually invented some cool new curses when that happened. Who says Torres isn't an 'inspirational' footballer?!

Congrats, mate. Completely deserved. Keep up the great work.

Hey mate. You can either add it to your media here and then add it to a desired post, or upload it to a free image hosting site like postimage.org and then use then link in the post.

Rooney on the pitch is equivalent to two players. His work rate is probably higher than all of our players together!

That was the most dispirited performance by a Chelsea side I have ever seen. Completely nonchalant and frighteningly lacking any quality. Voted for Mikel for MOTM because everyone else was just shit and he could actually make a 5 meter pass.

I was not denying that that Busquets is world class, or that he is better than Mikel, much better. I don't think anyone can deny he is the best in the world at what he does and that's coming from someone who hates his cheating guts! I actually agree with everything you said above but what I was trying to say in the first post is that you can't expect Mikel (Srgio himself) to play as well as Busquets does for Barcelona. My point was that we have a serious issue in terms of off the ball movement and that Mikel, or any other DM we play is being criticized for the front four's lack of movement.

I think he can work with Mikel who is very disciplined defensively. After all Modric may not be the best defender but he decent defensively.

A pivot of Modric and Mikel would work very well. It would be very balanced, good defensively and with amazing distribution and as Skipper said above, both can keep the ball very well. I had hoped he would flop at Madrid since day one so we could buy him from them. I'm actually sad he's starting to find his feet there..

It's just member of the month, mate! The point is just to get recognition. Being in that poll is just as good as winning it, imo.

Just read a stat that in his last match for Bremen 10/16 of his crosses found it's target. That's just ridiculous!

^^ Good read that. Thanks.

Very happy to see Skipper in the lead. I've nominated him a few times in the past and he really deserves to get some recognition. But I had to vote for Peace, he was just brilliant especially the last 2 weeks of the month. Pleasure to have you back here, mate.

That's something to work on later, right now we just need to win the next few games.

Yes but Mata missed the Boro game and is arguably more important to the team. I say start Hazard and if things aren't going too well put Mata on around 60mins.

I just loved how Jose rubbed it in after the match saying the better team lost!

I've heard two ex-international refs analyze the red card and both agree with the ref. According to the rules, endangering an opponent player is a red card regardless of the intention. Moreover, Nani did have a little look before jumping and knew Arbeloa was coming. Third, and for me this puts the red card beyond doubt, Nani actually extends his leg after he makes contact with Arbeloa intending to hurt him.

I'd rest Azpi and one of Mata and Hazard but not more.

Can't we just leave him in Romania?

They're trying to spell out "Interim" so it sounds like "Into him". We're not that into him.

In to(ter) him(im)

Lewis McGugan scored the only goal in the 84th minute.

We were lucky to get 1-1 at home against Prague. If you don't think that is a possibility, you really need a reality check.
