True but sometimes its better to retain possession as opposed to trying a hollywood pass or whatever. Charlie Adam at Liverpool was guilty of this at times before Rodgers sold him and even under Dalglish. Looks good when it comes off, bad when it does not. I'm not going to get into this though lol, some people prefer Lampard and some people prefer Mikel in the pivot. I'll just leave it at that because there will be about 40 members wanting to get their say on this and it will eventually end up in some shitty argument.

Bar Torre's second half performance vs Spurs I'd say Ba has been our best striker so far in one appearance....

Only fear I have with Cardiff is that against City and Spurs they were defensively superb and organized very well. I'm sure we might huff and puff at them for a while but we will eventually break them down. Or you'd hope. Against City in particular they sat deep with one player holding in front of the defence and then a row of 4 quite deep to stop City playing through the lines. Was very effectively to be fair and they deservedly won.

Welcome mate. Stick around Dortmund fan since the 90s, well thats a change, I know people who have only liked Dortmund since 2010 or whatever but its a nice change to meet someone who has followed them for a longer period of time.

jesus christ the Lampard thread and the only thing people care about is Mikel. 'Mikel was good against X, Mikel did this against Y, Mikel sucked vs Z" loool Anyway Lampard wasn't too bad vs Norwich, first half good, second half they got into it more. Still room for improvement defensively.

4-0 Chelsea, calling it early haha.

If Roma play as well as they did on the break in the first half vs Inter they will walk all over Napoli I feel. Garcia has done an excellent job. Gervinho has been superb and Totti too. Really like their MF trio of De Rossi-Strootman-Pjanic, quality midfield. Florenzi's goal vs Inter was an incredible counter attack... similar to Hazards goal vs Norwich

School has cut my gym time down, so I bought dumbbells and do a lot of curls at home really, also use my bench from times to time but the barbell has only 30 something kg on it as thats all that came with it so its quite easy. Holidays start today though so I might try get back into the swing of things. If I can be arsed.

Yep. Pretty sad to see him probably being sold as obviously he had a lot of potential in his younger years with Gladbach and Bremen but he was utter shit for us last year in the league and cup games. Maybe he just can't hack English football?? Also I read somewhere Unai Emery said he has 'neckbreak speed' I don't particularly think hes very fast, or is he very fast just didn't run at full at all for us?

I'll fuck you up m8, you'll be more broken than Wayne Rooney's foot after he stepped foot in Paulo Ferreira territory.

He isn't a hot head. David Luiz is a hot head. Diego Costa is just a Suarez level cunt. Or that. Wasn't he not heavily linked to Liverpool? Imagine that, a cunt playing for the cunts along side a even bigger cunt.

Costa is a bit of a hot head but hes in the form of his life right now. He just received a call up for Spain too I think. Koke is brilliant, technically sound, versatile as you said but I don't think we'll go for any of those two.

Milito vs Bayern 2010 CL final. Everything he did was great, so calm for his two goals, held it up well, a real thorn in Bayerns side. Such an efficient striker. Just seen it was mentioned by Magic Lamps as well. Also Drogba's games - vs Spurs (5-1 game, where we absolutely steamrolled them under Robbie) - vs Bayern (CL final, we all know how good he was) - both legs vs Barca (1-0 and 2-2 game, he was exceptional in both) - vs Stoke (7-0 game in the season we won the double, didn't score but he was superb and set a few up) - vs Liverpool (FA cup final under Robbie and 4-1 game in the CL) - vs Wigan (8-0 game when we won the double, won golden boot after scoring a hattrick, was desperate to win the golden boot over Rooney) Nico's performance against Sunderland thats already been mentioned by Rubber bullets. Was brilliant, didn't do anything wrong at all. Messi vs Arsenal 2010, also already mentioned, what a performance that was, absolutely destroyed Arsenal. Messi vs Levekursen, scored 5 goals, he also got an assist I think, was unbelievable, could have scored at least 8 if it weren't down to good goalkeeping at times from Leno. Neymar vs Scotland back in 2011 at the Emirates, was insane, what a performance. Roy Keane vs Juventus in the Champions League, I didn't see it live but I seen footage on and Keane was immense. Real midfield general performance. Balotelli vs Germany at the Euros, if we seen this from Balotelli every week nobody would care about his behaviour. Was superb, troubled Germanys CBs for the whole game. Zidane in most games at the 2006 world cup, yes he messed it up with the headbutt vs Italy in the end but he was sensational and single handedly carried France in every game. Also the 1998 WC too that France won, he was the main man again really. Also Zizou vs Leverkusen, incredible goal, incredible performance. Hes only given credit for the goal but his actual performance was insane. Could write a whole bunch more of Zidane performances, Ronaldinho performances and Totti performances but there are just too much. Same with the Brazilian Ronaldo.... damn

Wanker

NOOOO ANYONE BUT WILSHERE Seriously hate him, such an overrated player..

Who scored Arsenals goal? Surely Giroud/Ozil/Ramsey, my fantasy football team will get even more points...

Well at least I'm not a prick, prick.

Jesus christ.. all I'm saying...

Thats because Rami and Lamps are too similar, both are box to box midfielders who like to get up and support the strikers but Ramires is capable of recovering due to his speed and mobility unlike Lampard who often tries to foul players/shirt tug them back. I didn't see the game today but I've seen Lampard do this far too often, especially last season.

me being a twat several hours ago with some cartoon builder thingy... dont even know why this was taken

He lacks upper body strength. Against Anzhi he looked to play his way out of trouble but he is very weak for a CB. Looked slow at times, let him stay at Spuds... the comments though are funny.

Would hardly say Jose is saying 'hes crap' by picking him out in a press conference. Jose's just telling him he has some work to do, which he does based on his performances since after pre-season. He did the same with Mata, hes basically said that Lukaku isn't ready to play for Chelsea in a press conference as well saying 'thats it different playing for Everton than it is for Chelsea'..... its not that hes saying player X is shit and so is player Y its that players X and Y have to work...

True but hes the only natural right winger we have. Schurrle is a left winger, even though he can play on the right. Anyway is Hazard going to be missing this game? He shouldn't start anyway, Schurrle was immense vs Steaua. Mata on the right and Oscar/KdB in the middle.

Watching Kevin Bridges, fuck what a legend he is.

Was the same for Christian Eriksen with us...
