  1. i meant John Obi Mikel, mate. your man of the match for the wigan game according to the post match thread. surely you're havin a laugh??
  2. moses just gives us another fast winger but he doesnt solve our problem of creating chances. his end product is poor and i think we should sign him only if other targets cant be signed
  3. everyone from al habsi to his milkman knew lampard was gonna put it left centre. i think lamps needs to change his tried and tested routine of penalty kicks
  4. your man of the match for the wigan game. surely you're havin a laugh?
  5. by great you mean he got past bertrand and cole? he did the dribbling side of the winger well but his end product was piss-poor. imagine moses and Ivanovic crossing from the right side......oh dear
  6. 1. 2nd half starts. forwards kick off and pass ball back to Luiz via Bertrand/Cole. Luiz takes one look up front and launches it forward - harmlessly into the hands of Al Habsi 2. 56 mins gone, same situation, Luiz dumps it long. comes to nothing. someone tell david luiz to not play the ball long aimlessly please.
  7. john obi mikel - u r a f***in CDM you are supposed to transition our attacks. not sit back and be the 3rd CB
  8. should sustain pressure. we are playing like a mid-table club now. Mikel has seen the game fly-by around him. has done f*** to stop wigan midfield. Oscar for Mikel and control the game please
  9. exactly. can't believe people are having a go at rdm before the season has even begun. he doesn't have fuckin options as well. sturridge doesn't count. he doesn't want to play there and is a shite crosser. bertrand was the best option once ramires was injured
  10. probably because its wigan away and because he is short of options. i wouldn't play malouda and i think sturridge is being kept on the bench to be brought on as ST also i dont know how much the defensive winger argument holds though. united have valencia while city dont necessarily play wingers but do play yaya toure and de jong or barry who are defensive midfielders. barca and real may not care but remember 1. they are in the la liga and 2. they are much better than us
  11. i see u didnt count the super cup. anyway, there are 3 games this week. i would rest him. he has barely had time to rest
  12. mata maybe rested for the start of the season according to di matteo. oscar debut looks imminent atleast from the bench after meireles plays his farewell game for Chelsea i hope
  13. "LoopyLatic" anyway, i think we have to be wary of the 3-4-3 today. if they overpower our double pivot, we are in big trouble
  14. to be fair, they looked good and created enough chances. cathorla was great in the middle going forward but they need a genuine finisher and CDM now. Yann M'Vila and Edin Dzeko spring to mind. if they get them or players of their level, they will get 4th easy
  15. chelsea on the opening day - lukaku looked pro while he ripped apart hopeless liverpoop - steve clarke will do well at albion. yacob was a smart signing and a front three of brunt lukaku odemwingie is dangerous - borini made a bad choice - joe cole's career maybe coming to an end - damien duff's still got it - scott sinclair need not leave swansea - good to see sidwell is still playing in the top flight
  16. we need a striker because we have only 2 first choice strikers now - torres and sturridge. if both are injured, i think rdm will play piazon up front but i think he would rather play behind the striker. also, with 3 strikers, it gives us the chance to rotate for capital one cup, fa cup, ucl etc.
  17. Wigan fans say Moses has very little intelligence on the pitch. even the guy who did the opposition views mentioned that. otherwise he seems a good pacy winger Ayew, Damiao and Remy are good options given how pricy Lewnadowski, Cavani and Hulk seem to be Azpi is done i guess and i agree we need a CM but that wont happen without selling few. would like to see us sign Moutinho or someone but it probably wont happen
  18. Reus wouldn't give depth up front. we were priced out of jovetic. another player mentioned is Hulk. he provides directness and power to our attack but i would no way in hell pay anywhere remotely close to 40 million for him. we are short of options and schurrle at 20 is a good deal imo. but knowing chelsea we will probably sign moses and be done with it
  19. seems weird - the start of this season.. not really much enthusiasm after the olympics.
  20. depth in wing with about 60 games this season. powerful striker if torres flops. better suited to the team we are building. and last but not the least, more germans
  21. Schurrle and Azpi for me. Fuck Hulk, Moses and Modric
  22. the heat is on di matteo for the next few months. he has to get the team to gel and put points on the board. united and city look far ahead of us atm
  23. we will have to wait and see the new signings we will make in the next fortnight and also see how sturridge and oscar fit into the system but yeah, as of now 4-3-3 seems better than 4-2-3-1 inspite of the dreadful performance against Brighton We had no passer at Brighton and Hazard was cutting infield way too much. There was good pressure in Brighton's half and if we replaced Ramires with Marin and Meireles with Mata, the 4-3-3 will be much better
  24. nope. not for the wigan game. too early for him. he should start by rotating with lampard and ultimately replacing lampard. lampard should do a "Scholes" this season and accept that regular football is not a given
  25. "Oh Of course you would do that Drogba"
