Gonna masturbate over that penalty during HT.

Mata always reminds me how idiotic pundits are when they claim Silva is the best attacking-midfielder in the league. Can't believe people still echo that opinion.

PUT OSCAR CENTRAL FFS

WE WANT ANOTHER. WE WANT ANOTHER. WE WANT ANOTHER.

KEEP OSCAR ON!!!!

DO THIS SHIT. DO IT. SCORE.

That is what we need more of. If Oscar is more central, like he was for the goal, he's probably our 2nd-biggest goal threat. Shift Mata to the right and play in Oscar more and he *should* score again. Good goal.

That's kinda why I want us to consider him. It would mean there's more chance of Lukaku getting his shot while we also have a top striker for a year or 2 as opposed to Lew/Falcao/Cavani who'd have many, many years ahead of them, likely preventing Lukaku from breaking through.

Then why shouldn't he be subbed off? He's losing possession too much in attacking positions which is leading to Swansea City counter-attacks. Benayoun would retain possession better while Marin would likely offer a more direct threat than he is. We can't keep him on giving him the benefit of the doubt just because he's young and 'adjusting'. We have to do what's best for the team. Another option would be to simply switch around the "3" so he plays central with either Hazard or Mata on the right. Point is - This is a must win game. Regardless who it is, if they're not playing well, being subbed has to be considered.

I'd put Benayoun on for Oscar in the second half unless he picks things up. He's very good with through-balls from a wide position Benayoun. Not worth his wage but he's underrated around here I feel. Would work well with Ba.

We should take a punt on this guy. Was decent for QPR and it would be nice to have back-up for Azpi. It looks like he'd be a good attacking threat too, and he's also a CL winner which would mean some decent experience would be added to the squad.

Ibra looks set to leave PSG at the end of the season. Cracks are starting to show in the PSG project. Anyone think he's worth a punt? Apparently the biggest interest in him is from Juventus and Man City.

GET TAMBLING ON!!! WE NEED A MORE CLINICAL FINISHER FFS!!!!

So far this looks like one of those games where if we're gonna score it'll be from a set play. Play needs to be sharper up front. No point in possession if you don't make the most of it.

Our passing in general is much better when Luiz is in midfield. None of those unnecessary backward passes.

Luiz reminds me of Gullit in so many ways. Bossing it so far.

So - Any theories as to why Benayoun makes the bench ahead of Moses who proved his worth, for now, vs. Basel? Hopefully just a precaution for whatever reason.

I feel like if he makes a bad "First impression" in his return game a lot of fans will jump on the "FFS, SELL HIM!" wagon despite forgetting he's just come back from injury!

After his lengthy period out Cahill better come back with a bang or risk a lot of slating from some of us fans.

I have no doubt we're all going to get irrationally angry at Swansea when they play a good game trying to stop us from winning. How dare they?! "They have nothing to play for." Yes they do! It's called pride. Proving to yourself you can beat one of the big boys. Something our players need to quickly pick up too. Anyway, hope we make mince meat of them.

I wasn't even alive when this happened, but watching this made me happy. Some of my all-time favourites in this team! Love the way we'd counter-attack with such precision. Osgood's celebration for the 4th goal is one of the best celebrations ever.

Do you really need to still refer to me long after we've stopped conversing, and in a negative way at that?

That plus being one of the top scorers in the league = He's not ready

Remind me - How many professional games has Andre Villas-Boas played again? Unless of course, as I assume, you mean just play it in general etc, in which case you shouldn't assume I haven't or don't play.

Where were your arguments about Neymar being as good as you say he is? "HE HAS WUN COPA'S ON HIS OWN!!!". Don't be a hypocrite now. I think the majority of your posts are shit, if not all, but that doesn't mean I think they have atrocious* points, does it? You make valid, but shit points. You may disagree with what I say, but well thought-out and presented articles & facts are not atrocious when compared to your own 'sarcastic' posts which you cling to so dearly. Remember how you said your 'agenda' against me was (partly) due to me (in your opinion) thinking higher of myself than I should? *cough* I'm not offended by this. In fact I'm glad you've posted this, as you've just shown the forum your true colours.
