Hutcho

Fair point. I'll skip it forward then.

Some people yesterday were chanting, champions of europe we know what we were lol.

Is it me, or is it incredibly quiet...

Thats alright mate, i just realised. I just got back and looked at your post which mentioned me, then replied, then read back and saw what the newbie said... My bad...

There should be a stream though, as they must be on the tv somewhere... Especially in Brazil and other places which @rmpr has already said consider the CWC to be more important than perhaps it is in europe.

Sorry was having dinner... I haven't played in a while but will give you a game if you still want to. Edit:/Joke (Randomly mentions fernando torres due to this taking place in his thread) Fernando is quality.

What he said...

I would only go with thay as it is more attacking vs a sunderland team who isnt the best. Against a better team rambo's running and engine is much more vital, but in this game i would rather have oscars passing and playmaking from deep ability.

Not feeling too bad about this comp now, looking at the quality teams are in it. In the early rounds we can maybe rest some key players depending on the fixtures we have, but if we get to the last 8 or face tough opposition i would like us to try and win it now we are in it... Top 4 is of course top priority but it doesn't mean we cant have a good run in the Europa League.

People do realise that the first goal he got lucky, and the second goal was given to him on a plate by Hazard, and by on a plate i mean ran 3/4 of the pitch done 5 defenders and gave him a tap in... He is hardly BACK... If he can score an average of 2 goals every 3 games from now til january then maybe he is starting to get a little something back.

Lets get back to winning way and get 3 points. If we can lock down sessegnon then we can stop the majority of their attack. Would be good to see hazard really run at some defenders like he did vs Nordsjaelland, and even though torres was hardly spectacular hopefully his level of performance can go up vs sunderland... I think we can be more attacking and go with something like: Cech Azpi Ivan Terry(/Luiz/Cahill if not fit) Cole Oscar Mikel Moses Mata Hazard Torres

On the way back from the game. Happy with the scoreline but knocked out because of away goals when we have a better goal difference is just depressing... Hazard played well so did Romeu and Luiz tbh... Torres will get the headlines but let's be honest it kinda glosses over his performance but still glad for him to get on the score sheet. Prem is the most important thing now and we MUST get top 4 now...

4 Hours to go, gonna leave to go to the game soon... Hopefully the best case scenario can happen and we can qualify for the knockouts, but all we can do is support our team and hope we play well and put in a great performance and get us out of this slump we are in... KTBFFH!!! (and Shakhtar, if you can do us a favour i will be extremely greatful.) :blue scalf:

The guy at 3:50... BOSS!

Looks like someone stumbled outside the pub and found themselves in a different thread.

I would probably play: Cech Azpi Ivan Cahill Ash Oscar Mikel Hazard Mata Marin Moses Something a bit difference. Give rambo a bit of a rest. I think we could use this game to rest some players, However, we need to make sure we win the game and perhaps more importantly we need to start winning games and get some motivation and intent in this tean as we seemed to have forgot how to win.

I kinda wish they would show the shakhtar game on the big screen tommorrow lol.

Hopefully the other people in the stadium can get back to getting behind the team as it has sounded fairly quiet recently as our team greatly needs it... Hopefully we can get a winning run going vs nordjaelland, but some good support here can maybe change the motivation of the players. All stant chanting SHAKTHAR!!!!!!! LOL.

So he gonna go to a place where they have RVP and Rooney and super sub (Cnut). He wont become first choice over RVP and Rooney can drop in play up top and on the left so it would be a pretty weird move. Why not go to a club where you can be the number one guy and play A LOT OF GAMES.... :eyebrows:

Wow, great shot from bigirimana...

Lol true, that would be the worst strike partnership in the history of football... Torres and his imaginery friend.

LOL.

I agree with with JT and Ivan, also helps that we have seemed to ahve found a bit of a gem in Azpi as our RB. I am sure this must have been said before but haven't gone back through and really read much but i am sure david luiz with his passing pace and "adventurous side" would be great for any HIGH possession side, and it wouldn't even have to be just barca, but several other teams that like to keep hold of the ball. We want to try and play that style but lets be honest we don't have the central midfield for it. Cahill is a good reliable no 3 who we know can do a job if we need him for whatever reason.

JT is our best DEFENDER hands down. Whether you want to argue that the benefit of david luiz for attacking and passing reasons is very much up to you, but for me in terms of just defence which as of right now is all i care about our central defenders doing JT is no 1 in there all day long. Adding to that, you know JT will do everything in his power to marshall that defence and do his NO 1 job.

Rmpr for me, but several others deserve a mention and all would be worthy winners including the usuals like Sheva, Milan cech, Kez, Kezza, WHS etc... Also the mods and admin would deserve a mention as well of course, but cannot be voted for... Good luck, and well done to whoever wins it.
