Stats

Why is there so much contempt towards Malouda? Yes, he is declining but he has had some good seasons at the club, IIRC being player of the year and finishing top scorer a couple seasons ago. Don't really think we need him here but the way some fans are treating him is ridiculous. He had contributions to us winning the Premier League and FA Cup and has had a very decent goal return in his spell here. Wish Malouda the best, regarding whether he sees out his contract or is forced to move on

Wenger has stated that he is looking for a defender and midfielder, not a striker so it leaves us or Spurs. I reckon he will go Juventus, in the case that they have Champions League football and he is more or less a guaranteed starter down there

And considering the fans protesting at him there is really no turning back now. Would definitely have him here for £20m or less

That would be a nice addition, hope they do this and I reckon they will. Would be a brilliant way for the players to get a standing ovation from fans and give them that extra buzz for kick off

Easily one of the most improved players in the league. Can see why Moyes sees him as indespensible player for them. I reckon he can get into most teams with his quality. I don't think Fergie will think about putting Carrick at CB again.

When Drogba plays he links up with midfield brilliantly, makes brilliant runs, beats defenders for pace and power. Everything Torres just is not doing. Compare what Drogba done in the big games last season compared to Torres. That is my worry, when we play the big teams. Happy with the win but I am just looking at future games. Torres timing of runs was poor today and although it is the first game, I shouldnt be worrying too much but I am getting a sense of de-ja vu.

If Sturridge is given the chance against Reading he will score, believe that

No you got tinted glasses or you are just an idiot looking for an excuse for a player worth £50m. What did he do apart from the run at the end? Nothing, he was poor. This is our striker who is leading our line, I have had enough of this bullshit about he worked hard. We want goals for christ sake

Seriously good win, midfielders looked good but Torres did nothing to show he is going to take over the role of Drogba. He looked same as last season, was just listening to Tony Gale and fully agree with him. Torres had one good run nearing the end of the match and that was literally it. Good win but work still needs to be done IMO. Also for people who doubted inclusion of Bertrand, once again put in a brilliant shift. I still havent lost faith in him but I would of liked to see Sturridge come on his place today but he never came on. But surely as we go on and player harder games RDM must think that is a problem.

Ivanovic wanted that for Torres. Unselfish but should have shot

Thanks god for that comment

Seen enough from Moses to definitely want him in our squad, will be a brilliant rotation option here

Funny how people were so quick to judge Hazard in pre-season. Now it is the Premier League we will see the best from him. People are too quick to change loyalties and fall of players in 1-2 bad games when we havent looked at the larger scale

Slacking a little after the opening 2 goals, want to see more from Torres. If he doesnt improve, would like to see Sturridge in strike. Luiz has not done anything wrong but for the safe side maube RDM should put on Cahill in his place because you don't know what Luiz is going to do sometimes. Hazard has been excellent so far and hopefully we can kill the game of with a 3rd in second half

Whose doubting RDM now?

It is always like that for away games for some reason, home games are not that loud

What a goal!!

RDM is the manager, he knows best! I am sure some of us doubted his inclusion of Bertrand in the Champions League final. He has looked at Wigan recently for a good few weeks and we should trust him on this game In RDM we trust. Bertrand has good attacking and defensive displays, there is a reason he chose him, just get behind the team for today

Victor Moses playing eek

Good game this should be. Looking forward to seeing Hazard in particular. Wigan are one of those teams where when we play you don't know what result you are going to get. It is either a close spectacular finish or a thrashing. Eg Wigan 0-1 Chelsea Crespo last min, Chelsea 8-0 Wigan, Wigan 3-1 Chelsea, Wigan 0-5 Chelsea, Wigan equalizer against Chelsea last season from Gomez 1-1. Then the controversial win where we won last season's game 2-1 with a injury time goal however both goals were offside. Look forward to it, Kone is a big threat. I predict 3-1 to us this game, come on you blues!

He made an offical landmark today- first premier league goal for Lukaku

Well many Bayern fans do share those views, I am part of a Bayern fans forum where more than 50% despise him and other half like him. But he also scored in big games, I get your point though with the likes of Dortmund, Chelsea etc however he scored a double against City, hatrick against Napoli and his goalscoring record speaks for itself

Yes pretty much I think but he will have a lot of freedom. Similar to how Robben is used at Bayern. Also a good striker as well

Hulk is not a midfielder, he is a inside forward/striker

He scored over 40 goals last season and you are saying Gomez doesnt provide anything? You having a laugh?
