Is there a rule somewhere that we have to play teams when they're in their best form of the season?!

Sign him up!

Even worse we practically let him go for free as part of the Luiz deal. He'd literally walk into our starting XI now...Hopefully we've learned from that and will treat Ruben differently.

Was an unused sub as Boro lost another match.

He played 68 mins in a 2-2 draw with Brighton.

Meh, not too bothered that Marin didn't work out. I still think he was worth the bet for 7m, there was always a chance he won't work out.

I'm glad I missed the game too

You're completely right. And same goes for every Chelsea manager for the last 7-8 seasons. In fact, those managers were not hired by Roman, they were hired by Mikel so they would play him despite every one knowing he's completely shit..

Nop, still here. I didn't watch the match so I can't comment on his performance. But seeing as we conceded two and only managed to have 4 shots on target against Southampton, I'm guessing we had bigger problems than Mikel today. You can go on bashing Mikel all you want, which I'm sure you'll do, but fact is he will still be there on Monday starting against utd as will he still be in the starting lineup next season.

I couldn't watch the match and after seeing the result, I'm kinda glad about that. I won't read through this thread, I'm sure it's all doom and gloom. Best to forget this game and concentrate on Monday, now.

I wish you hadn't made that comparison! Hopefully Boga has the right attitude to make it here.

Has a scrappy 1-0 written all over it. Hope it goes our way though..

Mata is decent, but only from the right side!

I'm bored. It's either this or going back to studying for my Power Electronics exam

Cattermole belongs in the 80s. You just can't play football any more the way he does. John O'Shea would probably be playing the Championship if he didn't have utd on his CV. Larson might get in the starting XI because he's probably one of the best set piece takers in the league.

Fine let's scratch "solid". Which of these player would make the West Ham XI for example? Imo, none.

Was actually referring to the fact that Brambel has yet again scored an own goal, not that utd got a goal they don't deserve.

What solid players? The only decent players they have are Fletcher and probably Mingolet. Gardner and Bardsley are average. Everyone else probably won't make the starting line-up of any other PL team.

Brambel own goal. Surprise, surprise..

They have a very expensive squad. That doesn't make it solid.

LOL at utd being dominated by Sunderland early on!

Same. Sorry.

No, they slow loading times for everyone.

This happens to me all the time. The thing is, if you try to do your work while doing other stuff, you'll never do it in time. You have to set for example a couple of hours in the morning and a couple in the evening just for your work. During this time, turn off your TV, the music, TC and everything not work related on the internet and even your phone. Every time you see yourself trying to turn one of those things back on, just slap yourself and continue your work.

Well Ruben is younger, so hopefully he'll have time to develop more. And tbf, Matic didn't too bad for Benfica.
