For the record, I don't go purposely nitpick people's post for no reason or amusement. Sometimes, it's just that the fella did not make his/her point clear to begin with. Nobody wants to be annoying if they can help it!

Neil Warnock moaning about the referee is just . Spouts so much rubbish to remind everyone how detestable he is.

Well, can't help it I guess. Had to be done at times.

You have completely deviated from the point...

I read your text but it's almost nonsensical to use the images to illustrate that Oscar has stepped up to replace Lampard, just because they use the same technique to dispatch free kicks (even though I get what you're trying to say).

That's just an excuse for your cock-up.

True but it's different though hitting the ball that way when dispatching a penalty kick and free kick.

You sure that Lampard image wasn't taken when he was dispatching a penalty?

Chelsea have not lost a Premier League game in which Oscar has scored in - W11 D2.

Need to play the strongest team possible and get the 3 points. Six points from the next 2 games against Maribor will see us qualify. Goodness know what's going to happen between Schalke and Sporting Lisbon.

Even then, it's still nonsense to press the panic button of sorts to suggest we'll struggle with Costa after just one game, and what was Remy's first league start for us. Him holding up the play and linking with others was nothing wrong either. Part of his game too and he did well. Glad that we have strikers who are more than one-dimensional. Would be appalled if we only have poacher-like strikers as back-ups.

Disagree. The second aspect is questionable as well.

Whatever makes you happy dear, after that prediction league game f**k-up.

Ronald Koeman won the September Manager of the Month award and Southampton won 8-0.

If that had been 'some' other player, their thread would have been 'on fire'... And yes we won but we were also somewhat fortunate that Delaney lost his brain. Otherwise, we could have easily dropped points with 10 v 11.

Not a surprise.

Man, that goal was sure cescy...

Probably my MOTM against Palace. Despite having travelled all the way to Asia this past week with Brazil, he still managed to put in a tireless display and continue his fine form. Deserves an Oscar for that.

Surprised this thread is a little bit quiet... That challenge from Azpi was rather reckless. Obviously, he had no intention to hurt the player but he seemed to get caught up by the emotions in that moment. Now he's gonna miss games against United (ugh!), Shrewsbury and QPR.

I disagree. We still dominated the game, created chances and put Palace under pressure. Obviously Remy is no Costa but he still played well and contributed in his own ways. He held up the ball well and played others in. The team can't just be adapted to Costa alone but also the likes of Remy and even Drogba. Otherwise, what's the point of having different kind of strikers in the side if the team can only play a way that suits one type of striker?
