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!

@milan.cech, Congrats mate that's very impressive.

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.

More Twitter drama: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2216124/Ryan-Bertrand-angry-Twitter-rant-illness.html?ITO=1490&utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitterfeed The club should just tell players they can't have twitter accounts.

He's out of the San Marino game as well with an illness. He will return to Cobham for treatment and will be assessed on Saturday ahead of the Poland game. http://www.chelseafc...of-england-game EDIT: And it's all @ fault!

Milan are, at best, a Europa league team this season. Why would Pep go there?

Good thing is that he will back at Cobham for assessment and treatment.

Is it the same injury he was taken out of the Norwich game for?

Ruled out of the San Marino game due to injury. Hope it's nothing serious.

Him, De Jong, and Yaya Toure should not be allowed to play football.

Yeah but it was with 10 men as well.

Neur still lacks a lot of experience. He will definitely be the best in the world some day, but if you watch Bayern in the Bundes Liga you'll see the mistakes that he makes are often amateur mistakes. Casillas is one of the world's best shot-stoppers but he has never been, imo, one of the best keepers in the world. I mean that his reflexes are probably second to none, but his positioning has always been poor as well as his decision making. He isn't the best in the air either. As for Buffon, he was the best a few years back, there is no doubt in it, but last year he truly was not tested very much due to Juve's solid defense. In addition, the season before that he was out for for a long time because of injuries. He still has his moments of brilliance, but I'm not sure he is still in the top 3 keepers in the world, and this coming from a Juve fan. In terms of consistent world-class performances, in terms of big saves in big games, in terms of importance to the team, there is no doubt in my mind that Cech was the best keeper in the world last season.

Could you two stop derailing every thread please? It doesn't matter who started it or who is at fault, just, for the sake of this forum, ignore each other, please! On topic, I think Hazard will rip Spurs apart because of their defensive weaknesses. This is the the perfect game for Eden, imo. I hope he proves me right.

I'm surprised they're publishing it to begin with.

My sister's wedding is on Saturday, so I'm feeling a bit lost especially with all the meaningless traditions we have before weddings. If I hear one more person talking about dresses, I'm going to punch something!

I can understand your concern but I really don't think it was getting out of hand. Kojo was not being serious, he was just having a laugh and he really didn't insult anyone. If this was any other thread I would completely agree with you, but since this is the pub, if anyone gets annoyed by anyone else, he can just leave the thread and come back later (granted that the other person was not being offensive) Glad I could help

Still, we beat them twice last season when we were still playing quick short passes and high pressure, I think we will do okay against them this year.
