Term-X

Shameful. Modric at £40m would have been a bargain.

*Malouda on bench, thinks he could change the game.*

Embarrassing. Roman should give the away fans their money back.

Modric £40m?... BARGAIN.

Same here, that Jusek stream is the worst ever stream posted..

Props

Anyone got a decent link? With english commentary...

Malouda's media presence hasn't had the desired effect either.

Luiz will be the ultimate impact sub for this one, bringing on Luiz is great way to go under the radar for the inevitable cagey first half.

Sturridge starting against MAN-UTD of all teams, he's come a long way from being snubbed by Carlo in favour of Kalou. Bravo.

I seriously doubt Gael would ever consider this. Euro & world cup qualification is practically a given for France, so as far as (potentially) playing at a 'competitive' level goes this is a no-brainer.

Even if he was fit, AVB would never start him against UNITED of all teams.

It was more of a wink at the audience rather than anything explicitly said towards Mata. Drogba was a call in guest, and he joked that Malouda was Gattuso (direct quote). In the sense that he was played out of his favoured position. When Malouda was questioned about Mata towards the end, he brushed it off by mentioning Zhirkov & J. Cole, and how there has always been competition.

I thought that had dark undertones towards Mata tbh, It's worrying how much influence Malouda may have.

Malouda being interviewed on Chelsea TV.. http://www.firstrows...watch-chesea-tv I feel uneasy with Malouda's PR campaign right now, he got an individual interview after the leverkusen game and now this. He's trying to create a public image that he's Mr chelsea/guaranteed first team player, when that should no longer be the case.

Forget Luiz, the real question here is whether or not AVB will scrap the high defensive line for this one.

Signing Mata was a masterstroke. Why let an agent be THAT influential in your career choices, Javier Pastore may as well just cut out the middle man and change his name to Marcelo Simonian.

Why bump such an old thread?, lmao. The headline was taken directly from the daily mail article btw.

From a fan perspective I'd rather here something more coherent, that's all. Besides.. his interview with Ferreira (working as an interpreter) was fine.

They should use Ferreira as a translator like last season. I'd rather here a more articulate view of the game from Luiz, rather than broken english.

Genk managing to get a draw against Valencia was the best possible outcome for our group.

Ballack & AVB seem to have a rapport..

Notice how both Luiz & Mata pointed at Torres during their celebrations towards the fans. His teammates clearly support him, and he's bagged two assists tonight.. great stuff.
