  1. 2007 - Tal Ben Haim, Steve Sidwell, Claudio Pizarro Lightning striking twice.
  2. We regularly go to three at the back when chasing a game but I don't think we should really consider it from the off. I agree with the notion though, a change in shape would make us a lot less predictable. How about 4-4-2?
  3. I agree, whilst I think he was looking for a fight on Saturday, in general, considering he was feeding off scraps, he didn't do too badly. Delaney did a superb job on him.
  4. I was going to put Deulofeu but I couldn't remember how to spell his name... but in all seriousness, he has operated almost exclusively on the right for them this season so far (I think).
  5. Step-by-step guide to reading this post: 1) Get excited 2) See the source is The Mirror 3) Cry with disappointment 4) Watch Mirallas rip him to pieces.
  6. We'll win, and then Rui Faria will teabag Martínez on the touchline at full-time.
  7. Change the system and change the personnel and we'll be laughing. We're predictable because people are used to the way we play. Shut down the wingers, pack the midfield, and then hit us with pace on the flanks. We need to address that, of course. Defensively it is harder to shift, but from an attacking point of view, the shape has to change. Whether it is to 4-3-3, to an orthodox 4-4-2, 4-4-1-1, 4-3-2-1, or a 4-4-2 with a Diamond midfield, I don't know. But we're predictable and that makes us beatable. Courtois Azpi - Zouma/Cahill - Terry/Cahill - Baba Mikel/Ramires/Cesc - Matic/Oscar/RLCWillian/Pedro/Moses Hazard/Kenedy/Remy Falcao/Remy - Diego
  8. I'd slap a transfer request in front of Mourinho if I was him.
  9. Probably gone to hand in a transfer request.
  10. Same. I'm convinced we'll sign one more player.
  11. An own goal? Fuck Everton and fuck Martinez. Costa is going to dick them again and Zouma's going to break Lukaku in two. Up Chelsea.
  12. Nah, Mason plus a tenner would be a fair deal
  13. Your point based on both players' performances at Wolfsburg is fair, but the fact is Schurrle looked like he could deliver a telling goal or assist whenever he played, whether as a starter or as a substitute. KdB, not quite so much. Mourinho was justified in selling him at the time.
  14. I'd love Nasri at Chelsea. It won't happen, but if he was to get a bit fed up of being second-choice to Pellegrini's "projects" in KdB and Sterling, who he has to play based on their transfer fees, I'd have him in a flash.
  15. If we're playing that game then Remy is a failure because of his wages and transfer fee and he only scored nine goals last season*. Don't be selective with your arguments. You can't level a player's wage as a criticism for or against him. Falcao took a massive pay cut to come here, don't forget. * before anyone says, I'm being deliberately antagonistic to make a point. Remy's contributions last season don't require any debate. You make a good point though, I can't see him getting more than 6 or 7 starts this season, like Drogba last year.
  16. Yes, sorry, I worded it very poorly!
  17. Well... I actually meant every word of it.
