Special Juan

The problem there is that a lot players are not performing to a consistent level thus he changes it, can't blame him for that especially if you have people like Willian waiting around for a chance etc.

That's the problem, the term 'not bad' is not good enough for the sheer amount of talent fielded last night. Our ball retention is a complete joke, if all else fails hit it long to Eto'o that should do it. Jose's after match comments couldn't of been any more wide of the mark, we weren't excellent attacking, we weren't playing well. It was a display that showed lack of commitment, lack of cutting edge again and showed all our deficiencies in large amounts once again.

'The Pivot' It's become a fucking obsession.

Difficult to judge him on what we have seen so far, but I think it's clear his time is limited here on the field. The most sensible thing to do would of been to loan him and not do what we did with Romelu. Let the kid either go or be loaned, he is being shackled here and it ain't right on his development.

Guarin's agent, Ferreyra—"Chelsea are trying to get the agreement with Inter. When that happens, Fredy will accept the move..." (Metro) #CFC Chelsea are said to be willing to pay £10m up front for Guarin, with the rest to follow in installements over the next 3 years. (Metro)

What was so annoying was the continual long, high balls up to Eto'o all the time!! Not in a million years was he going to win them and come out on top. Keep the ball for fucks sake.

I'm not, it's away.

I think Jose is laying his cards on the table for Roman to see.....the foundations are being laid. Get me a striker he says.

If you don't take your chances then you are always going to be on the edge. Let's face the facts, our strikers are absolute shite in front of goal.

Let's face it, he put more effort into Twitter than he did last night, I know a few others like that too.

Under-rated this lad for me, thought he was the only one that came out with credibility last night and possibly Schwarzer. Watch his first touch, it's as good as Mata's and that's saying something.

Nothing will change until we get a striker who is clinical and we get a midfielder who can dictate a game.

could of fooled me.

both sooner rather than later, fetch Nathaniel back and buy someone capable for that position.

Transition.....knew it wouldn't belong before we heard that. An ageing eto'o, Ba who's pl proven to an extent, Jose who has managed here before, a 50m quid striker, a wing wizard in hazard and we still use transition as an excuse.......wrong!!' Putting the ball in the net has fuck all to do with transition. Our short sighted ness is the problem and putting square pegs in round holes. Our best striker is at Everton, top notch keeper at atleti and three players up front call themselves strikers who couldn't score past my nana in fucking goal. Splendid

Erm, yeah, can't wait.

Right now Jordan Henderson and altidore look worth while fucking buys, are we that desperate. Fucking heeeeeeelllllllllllllllll Right bed, I'm hacked off to shit

Essien, Cahill, eto'o, Ba, Torres, Mikel. You look at those and think......they are pretty shit them!!!!

The problems are deeper, never addressed a proper midfield general and thought papering over racks would be sound. Threw everything at attacking midfield players when we still have not got a world class striker. People like Cahill are good back ups but that is another area we need to address, until we sort these we will continue to fart in games more prominent than these.

Most under rated player has to be Willian, fucking class tonight again and the only one. If we are this tasteless against arsenal it's a loss I'm afraid.

Feel like fuck for the blues who travelled up there tonight and put more effort into singing than most of this lot playing football. Safe journey home to the supporters.

Our strikers are crap, it's that simple.

Jose has just said we played very good? Seriously no, just no. Let's cut this bull shit we where shite, utter shite. A shit Ba, past it Torres and past it eto'o tell you all you need to know. You could tell the way this was going from the moment they scored.

Laughable our cutting edge. I will say this now and it's not what I want to happen, but if we lose to arsenal I would not be surprised if Jose was sacked.

Get to 70 minutes, take foot off gas, look like we don't care, concede goal and then look like an Italian match fixing team by letting them win. That was complete and utter shite. Absolute diabolical attitude to get to 1-0 and then just look at the body language of the players it just said "done enough"
