Magic Lamps

does not matter. this is against ten men. still time for a winner. should have seen this game out already.

this is so .....

this has to be the turning point we have hoped for. Zabaleta could have got a straight red for the tackle from behind + trying to hug/choke Costa

City might have been sharper, more dominant physically and in posession but offensively they have been just as awfully predictable as us.

Who is the clown with the Turban at BBC?

Edinburgh vote will be out in a matter of minutes. AFter that it will be done and dusted.

NOt getting any better for the YES campaign Fortunately. The world needs a strong and united UK. Even though those flag-burning, vandalizing cunts should get their independent country on the ground of the atlantic.

This is the game we can beat them comfortably. Even though they have been poor this season, that does mean nothing for the clash on Sunday. Schalke were also crap in their first 4 games and had the match of their lifes yesterday (still were crap). Agüero is not fully fit and we surely can stop Dzeko. Yaya Toure is not as menacing when we have Matic to for him to occupy with. With Costa I feel confident we will not be as wasteful as yesterday. LUis was a bright spark, amazing player, defensively solid, offensively lively and what an accurate crosser he is. ---------------Courtois---------- Ivanovic-Cahill-JT---Luis ----------Matic----Ramy----- Willian----Fabregas--Hazard- ---------Diego Costa----------- which will operata as a 4-3-3 most of the time, with Fabregas and Ramy also interchanging Last time we beat them with raw pace. that is why I thik Remy will have a part to play, too. City really are not that strong so far. They struggle with parked buses, but also when you press them high up the pitch and take to game to them. We obviously are decent at both. We only have to do it consequently. Most importantly we have to take our chances. On a different note. There might be some fatigue due to the late onslaught vs Schalke. These are the situations where our lack of real squad strength comes obvious. We need another defender + another midfielder and maybe a player to take Drogs's place. By the time the vital matches come,he will be 37. Sooner or later we have to face that we can't play a 60+ matches season with only 3 HG players and having our squad size reduced to 20 senior players as a consequence.

Schalke were absolute crap. We got about 7 or 8 chances we should have scored from, but Drogba's finishing is not what it used to be as well as FAbregas's. We need a good finisher as Costa to start such a game. Even if we had had a player like Huntelaar instead of Drogba as striker we would have easily won. WE were better than them at every single position except ST and that cost us.

easily should have been 3-0 after 40 mins. our own fuckin fault. never should let this happen again. Same old like last season. Defensively vulnerable not clinical enough with out finishing despite looking threatening all the time.

we gifted Schalke that point. ABsolute gift.

1000th chance squandered

a game of two a halves again, with us being the worse side in the second one.

remy does a drogba

can this damn schalke cunt stop wasting time and get off the pitch

if we don't win this, it is clearly Jose's fault letting Drogba on the pitch with two much better strikers on the bench.

this reminds me of the BAsel game last season.

Drogba's performance today was Torres-reloaded.

Drogba and FAbregas cost us. The difference being the latter also contributed a goal. Drogba is not Chelsea material anymore. I'd rather have kept BA or Eto'o

that happens when you don't take your chances. same old

i am sorry but Drogba is our weak link, he should be off. When Costa needs a rest we can still play Remy

we are fuckin wasteful. lamps would have scored that with eyes closed.

ouch that was awkward. "There is so much rubbish in there [...] get your ball out for the fans, here it is" I hope FAbregas got some plaudits for his amazing assist rate, too

When he was exactly where he had to be for that completely scuffed RAmires shot was unreal. HOw can anyone expect Ramires would fail his shot that exact way? Costa made it look like a pass. Indeed. The fibonacci sequence goes 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21 a.s.o. if he keeps that on, he will have broken the all time scoring record in a few weeks.

Impressed once again today. I would not mind him. We could use another CM for depth. He can shoot, pass and even defend a bit + is HG and would come at a decent price. At 22 already a midfielder without that many weaknesses. And sitting on our bench he would still have enough time trying to kill Austin Powers or Harry Potter
