Magic Lamps

yay ryan bertrand as attacking midfielder. Well that was funny in the CL final but against wigan, we'd rather need Sturridge. Hazard on the right wing.... why don't we play a Christmas tree with Mata and Hazard as double no.10

Now the kids have done their bit, title fight starts tomorrow

gervinho and walcott switching sides so often, they don't even know with which feet to cross. lol, a "in arsene we trust"poster. I completely agree if we trust in arsene to keep the trophy cabinet thief-save.

also great to see those QPRcunts getting their ugly faces burnished

Liverpool resume where they left it. How fitting Lukaku is the undertaker. Arsenal also are as inefficient as ever. Giroud and podolski having squandered chances with instinctive certainty.

i thas to be considered that many of our players have played 90 min in midweek. Esp Mata should be rested as he is useless when he is not fresh as we have seen too often.

He has still 3 years left on his contract, so we should finally receive a reasonable fee for a player from our Youth System.

Torres sat out the game against Sunderland before.

No way he will play against wigan already.Even if we get everything about the transfer finished before, new players seldem make their full debut in a competitive and so dicey match.

But Debuchy is far more experienced and proven than Azpilicueta.Whilst Azpi would not be any better than sam or paulo, Debuchy could slick in swiftly with his routine and offensive abilites...

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/1132781?cc=5739 Its simply time for him to force a move through. Screw Porto and their rip-off policies.Hulk himself knows, nobody will care for him next year, if he does not want to rot in Portugal far away from glory and titles, he should break with Portos management.

As in your sig, I think RDM made mistake setting the team up offensively in the 2nd half. . We should have brought in cahill and bertrand at the interval and parked the bus, but we conceded twice when trying for goal. Suicidal to give such an opponent the space.

If nothing changes, we simply should get used to playing against the ref.IMO we should bring as much technology as useful. NO matter if it disrupts play, the sense of a judging system is to be just, referees simply can't warrant that. I watch football very much i can tell u aout 13-17% of all games played on the highest level (top 5 leagues and major, cl, cl international tournaments(olypmics, continental championships, wc) are starkly affected by referee decisions.

screw the community shield. Most superfluous trophy in history. City simply had luck, crowd and referee on their side. One can simply bash the referee, as he was 90% at fault for our defeat but we won't get better without making up our own errors. Our whole midfield 5 was simply shocking. Besides Hazard, Mata was the worst player on the pitch today. Everything he contributed were some back passes to cech. As some have predicted, he simply does not stand a chance against opponents who are bigger, stronger and above all faster than him. About every player at City is bigger, stronger and faster than Mata. We had literally no playmaker, as he got bullied all the time once again. In those sorts of games he is simply a waste of the place he gets in the line-up. Mata is no player who can shine a whole game, as he is not a combat player, mata lives for moments. He is overly useful in games where the opponent parks the bus or he gets behind the midfield with some space, can put in a decent cross, corner or freekick sometimes, but he is no player we can rely on in every game. Hazard got a rather cold welcome to english football and he will surely need some months to adapt. The same goes for oscar. Studge and Bertrand got some pace in our play again, but u cannot blame our attack for anything, torres was decent, too. Lamps and mikel completely lacked accuracy, it looked sluggish, they surely are not in it already. Lamps gets old, Mikel lacks the class. I agree, both should not be our double pivot. Lamps might still be important as leader, tactician and goalscorer, but his days of him leading our midfield and deciding game per game on his own are over. Mikel's is simply too limited, has too many weaknesses. he is good at holding a ball up and make short-range passes, but that's it. All in all he is not complete enough, both defensively and offensively. Ivanovic is (besides friend oc) the main culprit. Even if not anybody gives him a red there, he should not go in the challenge with such risk.Terry had some blunders once again in a big game, but luiz and maybe even cahill have done so, too, so i would not read that much into it. city are a world class team and they scored some world class goals today. We simply are not that good.

what a bad corner, such a waste

we simply get bullied all over the pitch. We lack structure. City imply had luck and the ref on their side all the time

incredible. wasnt't aware of the blistering pace bertrand possesses

luck goal by bertrand. all in now

mata simply got to go. As I said he only got bullied, turned and passed back all the time

We can do nothign about it. we are inferior to Ctiy even with 11 men, but 12 against 10 is a joke. AFter the lead Savic simply HAD to be sent off, but the ref robbed us.

thank u kevin friend

the ref is such a disgrace. When c.cole commits the exact same foul as agüero, he gets yellow. if our player gets fouled its wave on

what a finish by yaya toure. it was not coming, but deserved somehow. our fault was to play too much football, we should have park the bus. now we will lose

ref has lost it. he must have sent savic off before ivanovic, when he failed his tackle against torres. So he made two crucially wrong decisions. Screw refs, humans are too slow to judge in modern football without technical help.

wonder why we always rather sky a shot than passing to the players in the box? Even though we have spend around 100m € we are a worse side than last season since we lost drogba
