doubt he is going anywhere with his team in the round of 16 ni champions league

good news that lamps is back we need his leadership in the side...

I agree mikel is good at slowing up the pace of the game if you need to kill it off but if you need to get attack moving oriol has him there in the speed of which he plays one and two touch

drogba what a class act.. you can't ask for anything more from a teammate he gave his all on the pitch for them and continues to do so even without being on the team... not defending Torres but come on ppl..

this suspension to mikel will give oriol more time to find form before mikel leaves for ACON.. so we will see what he is really made of very shortly

when they subbed paolo for mata luiz played in middle

david luiz in mid was not bad at all..

also saw today news of our interest in karim benezema what do you all think? not taking into acct the euros when hes on his link up is good as well as his finishing and he still has plenty of pace

no matter what team he plays for always scores against us

no matter what team he plays for always scores against us

we needed that to wake up

we needed this break to get some composure

as a lot of you have said he is not going to come here to be the main man for years to come he is pretty clinical in front of goal inside the 18yd box as well as just outside of it... for 6-8m why not? if there is one thing he has is movement anytime around the box always seems to find himself in little pockets of space... speaking on his time at Milan and Madrid firstly madrid.. was playing in a team that had club and and country legend raul as well as in form higuian not going to play over established la liga scorers and at milan he barely played as cf/st he played a more wide forward/winger when he did play upfront out and out scored in bundles..

games like this make you miss the players we have that are still with the club.. lampard would have popped up to put in a goal or two in a match like this... this calf injury is hurting the team

MARKO!!!

just give him a 2 year deal we have give bertand a new 5 year he will get more than enough starts behind cole to keep him happy by then 2yrs more with cole as his teacher and bertrand will be teh guy to take us forward... the board need to look at what he can just do for us on the pitch but what he does for guys like bertrand off the pitch and in training that makes them better

i find romeu moves up the field a lot more when playing in the dm role than mikel does.. as well as we all know he def does play faster and trys more adventurous passes in to the front four attackers.. from watching him in how much he has played for chelsea he is def a fan of one touch passing in the middle to get around the opposition midfield which is something i think we are missing in our pivot..

anyone have RB interview after the match.. instead of showing it here they are playing southhampton game highlghts over and over

for me its a real toss up between dave and ivan..i voted ivan he won everything in the air at the back was very no nonsense.. positive from the back 4.. cole needs a new 2-3 year deal though immediately

rafa must have given Luiz super juice played simple n looked solid... I think we may have found the back 4

wanted the W but will take the clean sheet...we need a striker but we also didn't create as much as city did

Moses to part the red sea

our full backs have been brilliant today azpi/cole

Torres is trying to stay on his feet more.. which is a good sign but still very poor
