I'm sensing a Damien Duff type of player in him. Duff wasn't world class, but I think he was our best RW in ages.

Why is Liverpool in that picture? Ludicrous!

I didn't see a great atmosphere at Anfield till they scored that goal.....

Let's see how we play city before we start saying that we will get batter by teams like Bayern,real and such. What I do agree is that mourinho ain't as fast with his sub like he used to be in the past. He would spot the rising danger and will act fast. I think it can be to two things. Either he's getting old and therefore that instinct of being precise and fast has slowed down. Or our subs are not as good....

Well after today's game I think this guy will be the most wanted by half the members here. ?

Being honest I'm disappointed at this game. I guess I had too high expectations and wanted to trash Liverpool. ? Oh well, at least we got a second game and hope we can do better.

Yeah I remember mourinho was a beast when it came to this. He would spot the danger and do it. Now he's just not reacting as fast no more.

If it's a replacement for schurrle then I say good deal.

Hmmmm this is why I don't get much excited about beating to a pulp teams like Swansea and schalke. Once we are able to do it to the likes of Liverpool then I will say that this team is scary.

I'm hearing the Steve Gerrard, Gerrard song! ?

I remember the Hulk obsession a couple of seasons back. Coincided with the avengers movie and people was making all kinda of meme....

Hopefully mourinho unleash the beast and not be so reserve as he usually gets in bigger games. To trash Liverpool before Gerrard leaves would be a beautiful sight to see. ?

Well if we get him where does it leaves Oscar? Wouldn't it be better to sell Oscar and used that money to buy pogba? Or give him over to juventus plus cash for pogba? Oscar should go from 40 to 50 I'll assume.

I really think is this. Is more of a slap in the face at Lampard more then anything. I will still continue to sign it happily against Gerrard when we play them tomorrow! And yes it gets boring that people do it for like every game, so it should be reserve only for when we play against Liverpool! Wouldn't it be amazing if we are beating them 4 to 0 and all you can hear is the Gerrard song? Ahh now that's what dreams are made of!

Mourinho called for increased use of technology to aid referees, explaining that they are always saddened when he tells them after matches that television footage has proved them wrong. “I get the impression they are disappointed when they make mist akes,” he said. “Not one has the arrogance to say ‘I didn’t make a mistake, I am better than the television.’ When I say, ‘You made a mistake I just watched on TV,’ they are upset. I think there is not one referee or linesman who is not happy with goalline technology. I think goalline technology is fantastic. And every game I play now without goalline technology, in the Capital One Cup, the Champions League and so on, I am worried.” http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/jan/16/jose-mourinho-referees-chelsea A bit late but thought that was interesting. The old debate of technology into the game continues to keep coming up and up.

I would love it if we beat them to a pulp like we did against Schalke and Swansea.

To be fair I was surprised most at the way Arsenal play. It was more Chelsea-esque.....

While I get his point and the obvious mock at Lampard, I won't comply! :ph34r2:

You mean the experts like @Pizy, and such that was crying about their easy fixtures and how they will get ahead of us because of this? I remember telling them that it didn't matter because they will have the hard fixtures later and that will help us the most. We are starting to see that by just them playing Everton and Arsenal.

Because it's a transfer thread, and in transfer we discussed the player and the money. So it's important we understand what we are communicating. If you say 50 then I will assume your meaning 50 pounds. We record our transfer in pounds, not dollars, pesos, Australian dollars etc etc.

I was expecting a draw to be honest, but this will do.

Yes but we get report in pounds. And because you said this player is sold for 50 millions, everyone will think it's 50 million pounds because that's assume. If your going to mean euros then say it. Say that you meant 50 million euros.

Why Liverpool got 52 points? Unless your predicting that's going to be their total after the season is over?

Then might as well talk in dollars. It's ridiculous because we are talking about an English team that operates in England. And thus their income is recorded in pounds not dollars or euros.

The haters and worshipers are just ridicules. They go from one extreme to another! We have our ups and down but ultimate is what happens at the end. What's the point of playing amazing all season and then go like Arsenal and fall apart by March? The real critics will ultimate wait till the end of the season to pass judgments, and thus not fall under the "haters" "worshipers" category if you can call it that...
