He should definitely stay in Germany as far as I'm concerned. He's a regular starter, playing extremely well, and developing his game. What else can you ask for?

(Carzola^4 + 513/99)/666 = 5 exp( 3*pi/Mata)

Mo practically ruled out RM interest in Radamel: http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/8162510/

I actually believe his future is in a more central role. Because I can't see him playing on the right except in a four-man midfield.

That is great to hear. I am confident more than ever that, if given a proper chance, Josh will become a regular for us. On a side note, I would like to thank you for your constantly informative posts about our youth players. They are very much appreciated

I missed the match and only watched the highlights. Can someone tell me please whether he was playing at central midfield or on the wing?

SIGN UP NOW.....or else!

My world! Germany just put together something like 30 passes before Kroos scores with a world-class strike from 20 yards to make it 6-0.

Excellent finish: http://www.101greatgoals.com/gvideos/kevin-de-bruyne-belgium-v-serbia/

Scotland 1-0 up. Wales must be really shit

I can see the headlines blaming JT and Ash.

Would be hilarious if England lose

Come on San Marino!

Serbia vs Belgium not being broadcast here

I thought I made it clear in my last post but I'll make it even simpler: Against Barca: We WANTED to defend and we defended brilliantly.We were only looking to create one or two chances and take them and that is exactly what we did. They wanted to attack and score but didn't create much. So, we executed our game plan much better than they executed their's. Hence our performance was better than Barca's which is why we deserved to go through. Against Juve: We played with Oscar, Mata, and Hazard; we were clearly looking to create chances. We FAILED to do what we set out to do. Juve wanted to stop us from creating and look to score on their fewer chances. They defended very well and DID manage to stop us from creating. They also SUCCEEDED in creating chances from fewer attacks and lesser possession. So they executed their game plan to perfection. They PERFORMED how they wanted to while we failed to do as the manager planned. Hence why their performance was better than ours and why they deserved to win. 2 goals out of 5 chances is decent especially that they were denied by the bar at 2-2. They were unlucky be cause we scored 2 goals from a deflection and a wonder shot. I never said whoever creates more deserves to win. It's all about your tactics and game plan i.e. what you want to do in the match. If you manage to execute your game plan in a match while stopping your opposition from executing their's then you deserve to win the match. Tell me please, where is the gap in that logic? And I must say I feel a little offended that you questioned my loyalty. I support Juve, yes, but Chelsea is my life. I criticize Chelsea more because I love it more.

Our game plan against Barca was to defend only. We did what we set out to do, i.e defending, better than they did what they wanted to do which is scoring. So no, we deserved to knock Barca out. Against Juve we were trying to control the game and create as many chances as possible. They defended better than us and stopped us from creating and attacked better than us by creating much more chances than we did with less possession. So yes, I would say that their performance was better than ours and hence they deserved to win.

I thought we deserved to lose simply because we only created one goal scoring opportunity in 90 mins that Mata missed while Juve had 5 or 6.

I sure hope not. He can use the rest during the international break and we really don't need risking hi getting an injury.

It's not the law but general manners to protect the 'image' of the game.

I think it's too early to call this group just yet. Yes but Juve are not used to it yet, two season's ago they were mid table in a declining Italian league. Juve's bench is mainly made from youngsters that can't replace the starting XI all at once. Despite Juve's obvious superiority in the Serie A, Conte can only rest 1 or 2 starters without risking the result. We'll have to disagree on this one because in my eyes we scored 2 very lucky goals and in terms of performance deserved to loose that match.

He doesn't have a captain's personality either.

It would be HiLLARIOUS if Rooney gets sent off and England loose to San Marino.

The most impressive thing about for me is how quickly the Mail managed to put an article together about Bertrand's tweet, it's like they had it ready made and jst waiting to publish it!

We should care because if all of our goals come from central build-up play then the managers of our future fixtures will now how to defend against us.

Now you're discounting Juve. They had a sub-par performance against Shakhtar because it was their 3rd match in 9 days, but let's not forget that they were unlucky not have won at the Bridge.
