Another goal. 5 in his last 6 games. Excellent
-
He was good pre-season but not considered good enough right now. I am sure he will get his chances but I will not criticize Mourinho for it. Clearly sees that he needs time and probably a game against Swindon would be best to bring him in. I wold not of expected him to feature today. I like that all our outfield players on the bench can add something if they come on.

Who feeds you this information?

TBH, when you post you do sometimes insult people, even though you might not be intentionally doing this but so much times I have seen you reply to Choulo you have insulted him in some sort of way which is what I think he takes offence to. Rather than replying in a civil way, the message comes across quite rude. For instance in one of your previous posts you stated : "Just because you are too thick to understand that Mikel is not good enough to be a regular started for a club that aims to win trophies like PL and Cl, you start calling others haters" That is the kind of thing moderators want to kick out and you have done that on a few occasions to be honest with you.

"You hear people saying that Chelsea will be the team to beat this year and that the Premier League is theirs to win, but they're still a centre-forward short in my view. They've got too many Number 10's and I don't think they have a world-class centre-forward. I thought Samuel Eto'o was past his best a long time ago and I don't see that buy at all." Paul Merson http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/15205/8917756/paul-mersons-premier-league-predictions-week-4 I really hope Eto'o can shut him up

Excellent goal. 2-0, Lovely footwork and movement and tidy finish. On for the hatrick
-
Will be playing tonight for the U21s against Norwich. Should be interesting to watch considering that a lot of the players in this match were the ones who playing in the entertaining youth cup tie last season. Live coverage from 7PM.
-
But he got a draw as well but I think it is quite obvious the award will go to Rodgers.
-
Lambert is not nominated as people have said and yeah I know Villa beat Arsenal but they lost their next 2 games, even though it was against big teams (one of them being us) you can't really nominate him for winning 1 game
-
The boy is 20 years old for crying out loud! Lewandowski is more than likely to go Bayern and Rooney is no certainty either way. I am sure Mourinho sees Lukaku as a big player for us in the future. He feels he is doing what is best for him. Sell Lukaku for £15-20m? Please be serious, that should never even be on the agenda. Too much potential to get rid off. Would be a ludicrous thing to do considering what his future value will bring and hopefully the goals he gets with us.

Think we are going to have to wait a bit longer for that. Most likely be this kit:
-
He was playing though so you would not expect him to kick the ball in the back of his own net
-
Who really cares? I don't see what the problem is. Everton have him on loan for the season and that is who he will be striving hard to get results with. Is he going to play any part for us this season? No. So although it could of been said differently, does it matter. He is an Everton player this season. No means a disgrace. Taken way out of context and your reaction is a disgrace tbh.
-
That list is not full/correct. Boga, Kiwomya, Brown will all feature as well.
-
It will be like 3 weeks on Saturday since we last played PL football. The crave can't wait for much longer
-
I hope not but if Cech continues to be the no.1 it might be a possibility as in Cech we still have a keeper if no.1 can continue in that position for the near decade and gaining that money for a keeper who has never played for the club might be a possibility, but I would hate to see it.
-
I would not mind no.2 if Courtois was at the level of Schwarzer or so but the fact that I know he is practically on par with Cech, I would not understand having him on the bench and I don't think it would make Courtois happy at all. It is excellent knowing we have 2 of the best keepers in the Premiership but eventually one of them will have to be sold. If we sell Courtois for around £25-30m it is good business but I do not want that happening but it is realistic if Valdes leaves as he stated for next summer.
-
I doubt he will but knowing Mourinho, he is is not afraid to make bold decisions. However your point about Courtois, I agree but for me the best resolution then is to go out on loan rather than stay on the bench. It may be a continuous cycle but he is getting game time and a keeper in the caliber of Courtois deserves to be starting regularly.
-
I have always praised Cech for what he done in the UCL winning season but Courtois has done the same thing. When they won the Copa del Ray he was simply fantastic and was the reason they won the trophy. Courtois is an excellent keeper and it is really hard to say if he would of done this and that because he has already done his share to guide Atletico to trophies. Also if Courtois went Barca he would no doubt be the undisputed no.1. Especially with the amount I hear they are prepared to spend on him however I see your angle but if they buy Courtois as a replacement for Valdes they are sorted.
-
Well Asenjo is a good keeper but Courtois always had that no.1 shirt from the moment he arrived. Asenjo was good but the fact that they agreed to loan him from us and we refused to send him back on loan the Belgium league, realistically he was always going to be no.1 there.
-
Been solid in like every single game he has played so far this season and he does not get the full credit he deserves but one mistake and he will get so much criticism
-
I know Mourinho done the same with Cudicini in having him on the bench most of the season but with Courtois it is a different factor. He already has won many trophies, playing for arguably the best team in La Liga besides Real and Barca and commands the Belgium no.1 position and that is no easy thing when you have the likes of Migonlet who is among the best keepers in the Premiership fighting for his position. If Courtois finds himself being rotated or not the primary no.1 keeper, he might lose his place in an instance like that. I know Courtois made noises about challenging Cech for the no.1 position but let's face it if he cannot dislodge Cech, he will know it is for the best to go out on,loan again. Far too special of a talent to be rotated while he could be playing for almost any elite team in the world. I know he has many years ahead of him and people will feel having a season possibly being roated will be fine for him but not when we can either have him as no.1 or if not just simply loan him out again because he is far too good for being rotated. We need a fixed no.1 keeper IMO and if he will not be I know Courtois may want the no.1 shirt here but it would be best to continue playing regular football. Here you have a young 21 year old keeper who is already one of the best keepers around IMO.

I agree with the price for Matic being ludicrous but he is a key player for them and that is understandable. I think he has improved by miles since joining Benfica. Obviously a different league from the PL but viewings from him, I think he would do well. I also disagree with his performance against Chelsea. I thought he was very good. Dominated the ball, rarely gave it away and thought he done an excellent job. Over the 90 mins he was excellent IMHO. I do not know if you were referring to the UCL games but in the EL final he certainly had most of the ball more than any other player and I thought to myself what an improved player we let go.

Been linked with Forest on loan. Think this would be the best move tbh. Wigan have tons of midfielders and I am not sure if he is a guaranteed starter, same with QPR and Watford who he done well with last season have already strengthened in that department where as Forest lost their main CDM to Palace so he probably will fill in the void if he joins.
