Magic Lamps

Apparently he is fast, tall, strong, versatile, decent on the ball and dead cheap. Could be a brilliant stop gap signing. As for the age I hope doctors scan his hand bones should be done with all players coming from poorly developed counrties such as Senegal, nigeria, tansania, Scotland and eastern germany

speeding is an administrative offence. drink driving is a crime.

Tits >>>>>> Pogba

Should rather keep him. We got only traore and Kennedy as cover on the wings both are unproven. Vic is homegrown, experienced and right footed. But I guess we will loan him out as the club is back to operating dumb as shit in the transfer market again.

John Cross is usually reliable - is the sell-on clause legit tho? anyone knows how much if so?

at least we are not the only champions with an awful start. juve really embarrassing themselves with their displays so far. this especially applies for our friend pogba. This is not his first pedestrian performance by any means. He was awful in all of juve's cl games i have seen. they must or at least should be biting their ass if they really rejected any amount north of 60m pounds for him. Juve won't win the title , next season he will be off to Barca for much less.

we are a sinking ship but if he comes and steadies it, he will be the hero. surely that should be some kind of a turn on.

you obviously got no clue about tactics. actually 4 defenders + 1 defensive midfielder is exactly the same number of defensive outfield players we got in a 4-2-3-1 anyway. at the same time all our ams track back. in a 4-4-2 strikers usually don't track back so that would leave us even more exposed. 4+1 defenders is not exactly a defensive wall. Bare minimum of defensive emergence actually. usually a 4-4-2 gets played with 2 dms so a 4+2 defenders if you will. but that system lacks creativity, is far too rigid and gets found out easily.

how many players with the name sako/sakho are currently in the epl? i counted at least 3.

Rewatching the game i have come to the conclusion that besides iva our worst performer was matic who let us down on multiple occasions, was completely pedestrain. apart from that zouma-cahill is a problem because, even though both performed ok individually apart from their second goal were zouma let bolasie cross and cahill should either marked someone or at least been on the line, the communication between them is flawed, cahill is not a born leader like jt is. btw fabregas had 5 shots and should have scored. pedro is actually not that match fit, looked tired in the end. falcao's movement has been better today but it was curious he seemed to stay in midfield after cp second lead. matic should have simply put his foot through the ball when dribbling clear. Hazard was better than on first though. had 2 crosses were people should have been positioned better and actually took on player succesfully on 3 occasion. Willian distribution was inconsistnet, his defending feckless. he took 4 shots, all were shite. should at least hit the target.

1.i watched most of piazon's games at eintracht and he was given ample opportunity. thomas schaaf believed in him like no one else. but he spurned all his chances and was piss poor most of the time. maybe our players are shite but even moses and traore are better players for left wing than piazon. he will never feature for the first team again quite simply because he is not remotedly good enough. You obviously know fuck all about piazon and were just throwing in his name to make a point we got youngsters 10 times better than him who actually might have a future here. 2. we don't play 4-3-3. we play 4-2-3-1 and that's the problem. fabregas can't play in the pivot and matic is in the worst form of his career. 4-4-2 is an completely outdated system. we are leaking goals right and centre and we would expose those by playing 2 man midfield you proposed.

Well, he did dribble past 2 or 3 everton defenders only for pedro to take the ball off him and shoot wide. He does not even need service in terms of balls that are directed to him, he just needs some kind of penetration. Be it shots, crosses or through balls, just something vaguely in his direction and he will slip there between the defenders or lash onto the rebound. where agüero and suarez got their dribbling ability, costa got his goal instincts. But just like suarezh and agüero need teammates runs creating space for their dribbles, costa simply strives when the ball is actually put into danger territory.

winning fa cup and coc like in jose's 3rd season/1st coming would be the only way to save his ass i guess. Let's just hope we don't sign tal ben haim afterwards.

You are aware that Piazon is the most average player under the sun? Even our fucked up squad has like a 20 better options for the left flank than piazon. I wonder he is still around here. probably playing in the 2nd team cos he is so shit we could not find a buyer or loan club. An a different note, is this a 4-4-2? are you sam allardyce in disguise? Maybe we should play a libero, too. not gonna happen this time. we will at least leak two goals but i dunno how many we will score.

baba has been brought as a back up. jose switched the system to 3-5-2 but preferred kenedy's attacking prowess as wing back. wasn't such a good idea as kenedy is everything but a defender i don't get the baba signing anyway. jose does not drop iva for his strengths and aerial threat.he likes tall defenders, so why didn't he sign one instead of baba?

I don't remeber any title-winning team ever having recovered being 8 points down after 4 games. Utd have won a chasing title in 2007 but were always within touching distance. chelsea never won a title chasing cos we never had the mental strength to do so. the only chasing title winner i can remember in the last 10 years was city who had 11 points on utd in february but that was an absolute average utd team they hunted down.

yup. what can go wrong? he will be cheap as he only has 2 years on his contract. young, pl proven, strong, would be a nice back up for matic and a starter if matic is out of form like now. additionally his tweets are often utter bonkers.

lol. who do you mean in particularly? I always think our players look too skinny. some should bulk up a bit. for some players the gain in size and strength would undo the loss in agility. matic, fabregas, azpi in particular. also the acceleration tends to improve when you get stronger.

what palmeri says: read as: Chelsea and Juventus had no further contact about Pogba. Talks around players that could be swapped have ceased. Chelsea has given up on Pogba.

yep 2007/8 and 2008/9 and 1996/7 they managed to RETAIN the title despite poor start We will recover. I'll put my money on 3rd place finish. 4th if jose gets fired.

care to elaborate

does he even track back lol? no need for that at bayern as teams are giving them the ball back voluntarily.

let's hope he feigns injury to stay away from these superfluous internationals. who needs this shit anyways? belgium will qualify and hazard will lead them at the euro. end of story. no need to play some meaningless games against kasachsatan, azerbaijan, moldova, gibraltar and other joke football countries.

they probably did not have a super strong ManCity with a 12 points start ahead of them. It is not that we can not be still succesfull this season but we have to get our shit together quickly + we have to sign some better defenders and midfielders. I honestly believe we are about a international class cb and cm away from winning coc and fa cup and about 2 wc defenders, 1 wc cm and one wc no.10 away from CL.

Put Costa in an actual league and he will be average. would still be better than willian tho.
