Of course Cech will play. He is the no.1 keeper and we never rotate keepers for league games.

Erm who do you think that? I think you might look stupid with that comment at the end of the season. I sure will remember this if Lukaku does score more which I will bank on him doing.

IMO would be a completely wrong move to move to us or City. Can see why it will be luring for him but he is playing regular football for PSV who are in European football and you never know may beat Milan. He should continue to stay there for at least another 1-2 years then evaluate his options. Amazing talent though and was called up for the Belgium team against France but unfortunately got injured. We will definitely hear more about him as the season and years go on.

He was not excellent but then again he was not poor. He instigated the first goal, got fouled several amount of times to win us free kicks and was doing constant defensive work and second half we did not attack Hull as much as we could of so all in all thought he had a good game. I don't have any worries for him though. He is young, great stamina and I am sure he will step up to expectations as the season goes on.

Lukaku to start please and hope to see Mata and Hazard playing in the starting 11 and 3 points

Excuse me?

Lukaku 100% I am sure.

Mourinho's first game so will take the win but second half was poor. Tempo was awful and I know Mourinho has no Ronaldo but I hope we up our tempo and go for goals like Mourinho said because we held back too much second half but the win is most important anyway. 3 points anway and on to Villa but I hope Mourinho does not do any of this 1-0 defensive minded football. Hopefully not!

I just keep clicking the match thread every second hoping someone posts the lineup. The anticipation........

Can you change my name from CFC_Lucas to Stats please? Thanks.

Well when you look at it they still have the same team from last season and sent a huge message out yesterday. The only reason why people are doubting United is because of Moyes replacing Fergie but that is quite exaggerated to say it is "absolutely unacceptable" to finish below them. They are still very strong and most importantly have the best striker in the league.

HAHA quality

I can't be bothered with your oblivious comments. Him and Welbeck were the best players. It was clear for everyone to see. Gerrard is an exceptional player but that was not one of his better games. All commentators for the ITV complimented him on his performance but let me guess: player bias right? Give it a rest. Anyway this is the KDB thread, don't want to keep posting about Wilshere anyway.

I am not going to keep commenting on individual performances but that does not mean he is awful. If KDB has a bad game should I point that out. It happens. I don't know how good he was today anyway, just know they lost but it happens. I just pointed that out because some of the stuff I saw you write about Wilshere was ludicrous but I commented on the England game in particular because that night he literally carried the team by himself.

2 assists but clearly not happy. Hardly celebrated for any of the goals

They did but 3-1

I remember saying the same last season at many points about Spurs and Liverpool finishing ahead of Arsenal but they always manage somehow to finish top 4. Loads more games to go anyway.

I agree with you..........................

But Sturridge will out score Torres. Even last season Torres played more than Sturridge and when Sturridge left he outscored Torres, LOL. Sturridge is a quality striker, better than Torres and even if he misses some, he also scores and has created a few, eg us last season goal and assist. Torres is a mere disappointment.

But that is not saying Moses is better. He is probably questioning why people are assuming KDB is better than Moses although he has not played for us before. Moses was exceptional at Wigan, similarly to KDB at Werder Bremen and now they are both playing for much better clubs. So in other words I think he feels we should wait to see if KDB can make the step up which is fair enough to me.

Exactly my point. I think KDB will be a very good addition but I think some people have been misguided. I completely agree with you. I was judging on form why i think Moses should start. KDB was fantastic last season and I hope he builds on that but I don't think no person on this thread has stated Moses is better than KDB.

Who did rate Moses over KDB?

This is why I don't want him. I get the impression of someone who still has scored goals but in a far inferior league and as you say I feel he realises the problems at Anzhi is going on so he thinks about his next pay packet. With Rooney, he will be on a lot of wages but he is younger and I get the impression that he actually wants to play for Chelsea unlike Etoo who really is after money. Yes, he will take a pay cut but he still will be earning a lot for a 32 year old. With Drogba, he obviously lost some pace but he has aerial ability and a lot to his game. Etoo, I think has lost a lot of that which is natural but I would rather him not here. I am sure he once he joined Anzhi he basically thought this is his retirement package so tbh I would rather him not here.

No way will we get both of them. Ba is not even on that much compared to what Rooney and Etoo get. We would be paying an astronomical amount of wages if we got both and it would be pointless. I think it would be unfair to get rid of Ba if we bought Etoo anyway.
