Great article. Absolutely spot-on.

Thanks mate, but I really don't like to rate players based youtube videos. Anyways, AVB must have seen something in him, I trust his signings.

Blues news from Majorca ( or Mallorca so Fullham won't get upset ) :

I've only watched him play three times so I may be mistaken, but I think he does not play on the wing, in which case I'm not sure he is the type of player we should be signing.

Cahil on terry:

One of the best posts I've read in a while. It is hard to come to terms with reality sometimes.

Any injury news guys?

On one hand I don't think the police have the right to arrest those people since they are not actually saying anything racist. It's a violation to their freedom of speech. On the other hand, it is absolutely pointless, in my opnion, to sing those chants that are doing no favours to our club and captain.

Luiz by a country mile.

^^ Stupid!

Yeah but Danny and Mata didn't and they are probably (with raul) our best log rage shooters.

It's not his fault. He missed that because our team lacks creativity.

Let me put it this way. The game didn't have any goals, cards, or real chances (bar a chance for mata in the first half and one for torres in the second). Heck the first foul of the match came at min 48. So I advice you to do something more fun with your time. Like going to the dentist or nailing your tongue to a table.

Unless we hire in Spain a coach who can show our strikers and midfielders how to finish a chance, we are defenitely drawing this one.

Kalou (It's been a while since we had a Kalou joke around here, so I thought I'd go for it )

With all due respect, I think that comment could not be more wrong. Our team performance was quite good today and that is evident by the fact that Norwich failed to create more than a single chance that came early in the first half. And even in attack I felt the players linked up rather well, which is why we had 19 shots in the game. I think our problem today was individula performances. None of our midfielders found the composure to play the killer pass in the penalty area; and at the same time our forwards weren't clinical enough to finish some decent chances. If anything, really, our performance was a bit too much of a "team performance" in a sense that the players were guilty of over-passing ball on the edge of the penalty area instead of someone attempting a shot from outside occasionally.

This. It's killing me that he is lacking instinct so much that he takes three touches before shooting from 8 f*cking yards. They weren not even good touches

Why not?! No, I was asking because I was hoping to get a link to a source for his statistics for the game.

Is that quote from somewhere or a personal assesment?

He finishes his tweets with hugs? How cute!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGFEsZJfaec&feature=g-u-u&context=G259ba8cFUAAAAAAAAAQ That Skysport reporter is real cunt. He was trying his best to get Andre to say something bad about Torres so that someone at the mail or the sun would come out tommorow with a story about how AVB has lost his patience with the 50m flop and has decided to sell him to a club in Tanzania.

That is down to lack of composure in the final third and poor finishing.

He only played for the youth if I'm not mistaken.
