In our match against Napoli, Garry Neville made ( as much as I hate to admit it) a good point that the goals that we and Arsenal conceded are a sign that defensive standards are on the down in all English football, not just the at youth level.

As we lack the kind of passing that splits defenses apart, we will have to force the opposition's defenders to make mistakes in order to score. But, to do that we will have to put them under pressure for long periods in the game, which requires from us to keep the ball and pass it in their half, something Raul is terrible at. That is why I believe we are better off starting Essien instead of Meireles and perhaps giving him a bit more freedom in going forward than the typical DM.

I agree with Peace. Your Avatar was part of TC culture!

I think DD will start that one. AVB is probably looking at the FA cup as the only means to avoid three/four months of constant criticism and rumors of sacking by the media in the summer.

I honestly feel scared to watch the match today...

We found someone who wants him!!

I'm pretty sure that's just a prediction. The official lineups aren't announced till about 45mins before kick-off.

This but Essien instead of Rami. I think we need accurate passing more than energy against the likes of Bolton.

Good luck mate. It's gonna be a tough test for me against a Premiership side, but I guess I'll find out just how good my team is.

I think he meant that Robinho at the age of 20-21 was being labeled as the next best player in the world, much like Neymar now. However he turned into an above than average player but nothing more.

There's not enough alchohol in the world!

You're team is the Fookers?

He plays as a striker as well, and does so very well imo.

Change reports are in and I got 1 750 000 econs for winning the league and having most goals and assists!

May I suggest Andre Ayew?

She has been with the club's medical staff for some time, but only got promoted to the first team this season.

Was just about to post that. I think it would be a great move for him because he will play on a regular basis and will probably be offered much more money there. It would also be a nice change if we sold a player before he is 30 and has lost his market value.

I think if both DD and Torres leave in the summer, which is looking very likely, Romelu should stay at the club. I would much rather he remains under the watchfull eyes of our coaching staff because the next couple of years are crucial to his development.

What makes you so sure he'll get more playing time there?

Where do we get those from?

Just kept another clean sheet against Lazio in the Europa league

Relax, Rafa's agent said yesterday that chelsea FC have not attempted to contact Rafa.

I dread to think what the moral around team would be if we do not get all three points.
