Magic Lamps

Maybe but our B-Team is 100x better today than it was back then. We will have players like Willian, Lampard, Mata fresh and rested. I appreciate all those words of caution, but I'd have my money on a demolition. We have to start scoring at some point with the players we got ann an opponent like this is exactly what we need.

City put Utd to the sword. Because they can. Because they are the only ones who can do this. Utd are nothing without RvP. We can only win the league vs the small teams cos we do not stand a chance vs a motivated City side.

On his day Mata is one of the best no.10 in the world. But it is true. Real has Isco, Modric. Barca does not even feature a no.10 int heir system, Bayern have an army of no.10s just like us, City has Silva, even Arsenal got Özil and Tottenham have bought every half-decent player. The only place where he would be more than needed is ManU, but we won't sell him to them, cos they did not give us Rooney. So literally there is only PSG who could use AND afford him. that is why i can see him stay here beyond January. We will have enough games for him to feature in. Thing is i do not see him succed as RW. He is a no10 and nothing else. But with Mourinho who always wants his CAM to help out defensively I can even see KDB starting over him in that position. Out of all our six AMs he is probably the worst winger but the best no.10. No idea how Mou can overlook that. With all three maestros playing, which is IMO still our best offensive lineup, the rotation would eradicate the problem of who is no.10 cos all of them would switch positions. Anyopposition can deal with only the flanks switching, but three players of this technical calibre rotating will drive any D to madness. Rami-Mike should offer enough defensive protection to unleash mazacar again.

I am positive we will see a lineup along these lines: -----Schwarzer---- Azpi-Kalas-Luiz-Bert ---MvG---Lamps---- KDB--Mata--Willian -------Ba------------- which should be enough to ensure a high-scoring victory. Random fact: Swinden are one of only three clubs to ever win the the world's heaviest trophy, the Dubonnet Cup weighing in at more than 50kg.

I think Ivanovic and Cahill were class today. Cole offers almost nothing going forward these days, really should give Bertrand a shot, he is a tleast a bit quicker than Ash. Our wings let us down today. Neither Schürrle nor Hazard really did anything dangerous. Eto'o again was a good worker but did not really get a tthe end of too many crosses, maybe not the right striker for our type of game.

shortest crisis ever. Decent win. We don't really gel already but at least we were able to break open a team that parked the bus.

john obi mikel has scored. i cant believe what i have just seen. lets print the t-shirts

what a stop from stockdale

our players really need to learn to dive better

Fulham always make it tough for us. that was a penalty. that was stonewall

why o why Torres?

we lack a decent free kick taker without lamps and mata

This side is much more defensive than what we really should play against Fulham. We can counter anyone to death with that one but it is almost identical to the one that could not break open Everton. Against any team that parks the bus, we should rather play Mata, lamps, KDB and Azpilicueta.

Bucharest are far worse than Basel. Anyway, Mourinho was outfoxed tactically my Murat Yakin, we allowed them far too much space for the 1-1 and the 1-2 was a series of individual mistakes.

I can't believe this. how fuckin useless hazard and mata have been.

our defense was more solid with terry in it instead of luiz

bring back Azpilicueta. Ivanovic can't cross
