And Mr Abramovich will say to Mr Mourinho "No, Torres stays"... we all fucking know it.

So pissed at why he picks the same underperforming players each week. Ivanovic and Cahill have cost us points in the CL and Premier League the last month or two. Its an utter shambles, he has our best RB playing at LB, our best CB not in the team and our best #10 playing RW... I don't know anymore. The fact we struggled to get up and going for 2 games against Basel as well is very very disappointing. I've noticed since Oscar has come out of the team due to his injury in the last few games we seem to steadily create more chances with Mata in there, I don't know if its just me or if its true or whatever but it shows what Jose and Chelsea has been missing this season, a spark in the team. We cannot defend to save our lives right now though wow holy shit.

Game against Arsenal showed me that hes not ready to be our main striker, Koscielny and Mertesacker had it far too easy most of the game. He still doesn't understand that if you stand behind a defensive line you are offside, he stood still a lot during the game, mostly in offside positions, he had some good moments like towards the end when he took the ball off Arteta and had an effort on goal. His link up play at times was good but also at times it wasn't. Barkley picked the ball up and plays a nice pass between Gibbs and Koscielny but he didn't make the run, he does this at times when he should make a run, its frustrating at times to watch but hes a young guy who will get better. Barkley even had a go at him hinting at the fact he should have made the run. Martinez will make him a better player as he's going to play every week in a team that the expectations aren't as big as Chelsea's. We always complain about 2 things, either 1) we don't play young players often enough or 2) young players don't perform well when they are in our team. Its ridiculous.

Balotelli has a massive ego but his talent is just as big if not bigger than his ego. If we can get him, go for it, absolutely tore Germany apart at the Euros and on his day is unplayable.

Scored but his loan spell so far has been pretty poor from what I've seen. Looks totally different to the player who was at Watford last year...

Mata and Oscar are different sort of players, even Jose says that himself, so how can you say they don't go well together in the same team? Mata creates more chances and Oscar links up with the other midfielder players better than Mata. We can play them together but as Mata plays as a wide 10 he comes inside to create a midfield overload on the right side. They can both play together, as we've seen before but not enough of under Jose.

Strong, pacey, aggressive... we've seen a different Torres the last year and a bit, sure he doesn't score as many goals but in general he looks a better player than when we first got him and in 11-12 for a while. Hopefully he can start scoring some goals.

Surprised Essien started and Mikel didn't, with Southamptons energy and high pressing I thought he would have been nailed on to start given his retention and shielding of the ball is very very good. Also on Lampard coming on, I was also surprised given that we normally play 4-2-3-1 and had Willian and Schurrle on the bench but it looked like we went to a 4-3-3 more than anything. Still a very very good second half performance by the team.

me at a meal for a mate whos moving away (hes the cunt ruining the photo in the background)

Massive performance in the second half. Ridiculous goal to give away, the gap between Ivanovic and Cahill was insane, you could park 50 buses in that space, Cahill and Ivanovic really struggle playing together at the right side of the defence since Cahill can't cover Ivanovic and Ivanovic is usually so far up/really wide and obviously Essien's pass was incredibly bad...... if he were a Southampton player then it would be incredible haha. Kept plugging away, wasn't particularly impressed in the first half but the second half Torres, Ramires, Ivanovic, Mata, Azpi and Hazard were all excellent I thought. Ba came on and his presence made a difference against Lovren and Fonte... he took his goal well. Hopefully Mata will get more minutes, he put in a real shift. Buzzing to see him playing again.

Given he is a #10, 5 goals is a very good return so far for a 17 year old I'd say. Hes been involved directly in 7 of Dundee United's last 9 goals. Having seen him in most games hes played this season, I would say he's as talented as Islam Feruz if not more talented, he should stay at United though hes the main player in the team basically, he should get at least 100 or 150 games under his belt in the SPL before moving.

Not gonna lie, player's have too much power these days; they want to leave a club they employ a super agent and boom they are gone, they want their salary doubled same thing, super agent and a new contract with double their wages.

PS4 fuck that shit, they need to get a new gamecube out

Fuck I wouldn't even have payed 30m for Ashley Cole never mind Luke Shaw. 30M for a LB is ridiculous.

If the rumors are true then why would he hand in a transfer request after missing a penalty? Jesus christ...... talk about overreacting and being idiotic both at once. Feel for Jose though, everyone thought he was stupid letting him go but not really if Rom was wanting to go, he needs to shut his mouth though and remember he's only there because he wanted to leave (apparently he originally wanted to go permanently because he missed a penalty LOL... which the club obviously rejected) so to say I hope Jose is watching and to hint that he shouldn't have let him go although it was his choice is really really really really really really stupid.

Fuck me this thread makes me laugh 9 times out of 10! Anyway congrats to Jobi on the award... yes I called him Jobi...

Read somewhere he has created the most chances in the Europa League, impressive.

Looked much more like himself tonight, in the thick of the action, breaking up play, using the ball well, hopefully he can get more games for Valencia I really like this guy and think hes going to be a good player.

Lol Spurs sacking AVB would be worse than when we did it. He still has to find his best team, plenty of players need to adapt. Its funny he went from last season being a great manager for Spurs, breaking the points total to a failure by the sounds of it now haha, stupid Spurs fans.

If Jose keeps faith with Oscar after that dire performance then I don't know. Mata should play against Southampton, be it as a #10 or a right winger or whatever, he needs to feature. We didn't create much tonight, Mata can unlock teams, he needs to play...

Why did Jose blame tiredness? He knew Oscar, Lamps, Ivanovic would all be tired having played more or less every game this season. Hes got Mata/KdD/Schurrle in his squad, he needs to start rotating players or we will end up like this every week, looking very lethargic.

Another fucking box to box player, hes similar to Yaya Toure in a way, powerful and can carry the ball but he's nowhere near as good. Lacks technical ability, blows hot and cold. We shouldn't be looking at him tbh.

Very impressed with him yesterday, was hoping for a good performance from him as hes been quite average for a player with his talent recently but that was much much better. His link up with Eto'o is getting better and better and hes starting to get into the spaces Eto'o leaves when he drifts out to the left wing to get shots off etc. Hopefully he'll get a few goals in the next few weeks.

Match of the day pundits are stupid cunts along with sky sports pundits, you are not going to take them seriously are you right? Oscar was blatantly MOTM by a mile. Anyway Lampard when he doesn't have as many defensive responsibilities makes it easier for him to play, Mikel playing gave him and Ramires the platform to push on and get into the areas they prefer to play, as well as allowing Branna and Azpi to get higher up the pitch. I'm not exactly sure if Ramires was playing right wing or as a central midfielder but he seemed to tuck in at times and we looked like we were playing a 4-3-3 at times and Lamps also looked to be playing behind the striker at times with Rami - Mikel sitting. Interesting as it worked but its still something when you look at the squad we have I'm not so sure if we will see every weke.

Got to say it looks increasingly likely that Mata will be sold in January...
