Yes mate... I was eating breakfast reading the paper earlier and thought.... Liverpool are going about good business in the background ..to be honest if Pool get Sahin.. Ramirez and Tello then they have a very good team and it does worry me because they have Rogers at the helm and he is a good manager who gets players onside, playing together.

I was at that game... can't remember who it was against but i remember it well.. He looked lively..it wasn't quite as open as Torres miss was but similar ...

Why is every transfer a drawn out, painful experience these days.... does my sweede in !

I know certain people will be annoyed by me saying this but why we don't play Luiz in the double pivot role is beyond me. He has everything you need to own that position and I would much rather his speed and directness than Mikels dilly dallying. At CB Luiz has a lack of positional awareness and it would be better to have him wondering out of the double pivot role than leaving a massive gap in the back line.....Would like to see him partner Romeu who is positional awareness is very disciplined and effective when defending this allowing Luiz the freedom to push up with attack.... Just give it a go... RDM....nothing to lose by trying him there for a few games. This would free up CB too and allow Cahill and JT to crack on with their incredible partnership.

Mikel does dilly dally on the ball.. he always has done.. it really is annoying considering that he has bags of ability. Lampard is a fucking liability in the double pivot role.... I have a bad feeling that we won't address this issue before the transfer window closes.... Mikel today was nearly as bad as the start of the Olympics closing ceremony...!

At last something we agree on.

He didn't have a great game today to be honest... He's trying to win everything again when instead he should just usher the attacker out wide. He has a lot of skill for a CB and he is pacey with strength.... Hopefully someone will remind him to not rush into every challenge again. Make no mistake about it though.... he was immense for us at the end of last season, especially in our cup runs!

Sweet finish Nando... good composure my son.... few more of those thank you very much!

Oh dear.. I suppose Mata is a pile of shit too after being virtually non existent against Man City...... No I didn't think so... Lay of Hazard , he didn't play a bad game and with time he will cut out the errors to his game.... all in due time my pedigree chums.

Exactly, not that i trust Meireles anymore than I trust Romeu but at least he has experience from massive games he played last season with us that will be very useful during the period those 2 are away. I think we might even buy a defensive midfielder in the January transfer window depending on how well our season is turning out.

Oscar should play CAM ..... it's as simple as that. You put Mata on the left wing and Hazard on the right. Mata joined us with intentions of playing on the wing and even though he wasn't great there let's not forget it was his first season in the BPL. I have enough faith in Mata to play on the wing again maybe switching with Oscar throughout the game. You then put Eden on the right where he will devastate teams and again switching with Oscar throughout the game. That is what a lot of people have been saying and it is the most obvious and effective solution, to me the best attacking 3 we could field in that set up. For anyone who says Oscar doesn't play wing for Brazil, he quite clearly fills in there when filling the gap the winger has left when cutting in with the ball and he does very well there too I might add.

But Berbatov will be joining Drogba before you know it! We already have one striker of age.. now let's bring in a young proven goalscorer ... Ed Cavani.

Why?

For any doubters.. this 3 minutes or another season of Torres?

I'm a do now and think later kind of guy... One day it will catch up on me!

Justin_3d (The thread police) won't be happy if you do...!

I'll pay the petrol..

Stephen Fletcher has handed in a transfer request #Headsgone

Might have 2 tickets for sale ... if anyone is interested?

I hope to God this is true.. Torres just isn't man enough to carry the weight of our expectations on his shoulders.

Luiz has been the best addition to the dressing room in years.. Everyone loves him apart from Lukaku ... who he always plays pranks on, especially in the Fifa competitions haha!

I'll see you there Holte!

I don't think Oscar was actually told to play on the wings or the middle. I think he is told to roam around the pitch working possession and covering whichever wing or deep player had advanced. He is a true Brazilian number 10. He is like their 'get out of jail card', he is normally always available and this is just the kind of player we need to have starting in the hole behind Torres.
