If we use the high line we won't win, but if we don't - we have a good chance of winning this!

I think this Napoli side is going to be taken away in the next two windows, with the likes of Citeh and us coming along to sign there best players like Cavani, Hamsik and Lavezzi. Sad really, thought they would be a terrific team with more depth - and could become an elite top side in Italy and CL. But i would love to see Cavani and Hamsik at SB though

Even from the highlights, it looked like the high defense line was abolished (is it true?), and Sturridge's cross to Mata was sublime! And it is also good to see Didi use his strength and power with his second goal - and the fact he didn't go down showed how much he was determined for both his place in the team and for the team as a whole.

Lalko emerges!

Any links for tha goals?

We need you players like Mata and Hazard, with the added luxury buys of the likes of KCB who should have the rotation spots in the squad.

Which shockingly, 3 of the 4 look set to be leaving in either the winter window or the summer one!

Hazard and De Bruyne is a must now, with Nico and Kalou off

AVB's special power is revealing

Hazard, De Bruyne, Lavezzi, Cahill Hazard to replace Anelka, De Bruyne to add more to depth on the left wing - also gives him time to get used to EPL with Flo leaving Summer imo, Lavezzi to be the goal threat we lack in strikers and the fact Didi won't be available due to ACoN, Cahill to replace Alex. Of course just ideas

I think Danny needs to be more clinical infront of goal, as well as looking out for other players in the box when he's on right hand side. Not saying he didn't play a good game (on the basis of the MoTD highlights), but i think he should be looking more towards that as well as shots. A terrific talent also he has become, abd cab't believe he was neglected so much last season!

How was Lampard's performance? I was watching highlights of the game on MoTD and was so shocked by his behaviour when he was subbed. Here's me thinking he wasn't that type of person, who had the respect for the manager, etc.

Nico isn't really a surprising player to have hadned in his request, nor is Alex really. Alex did say something about moving to Italy or something, but i wouldn't let him leave till we have a replacement in place. As for Nico, he can leave because he really has a squad member role now, and hopefully Kalou would be leaving also allowing for someone like Hazard to come in.

He seems like his play is built around his pace and his quick feet - which is something we kind of lack on the right wing, or left for that matter. Wouldn't say his dribbling skills are 'brilliant' for that matter, but with his quick feet could potentially be deadly! And for 7.5 million euros, looks a bargain - though it does depend on the whole work-permit issue.

Cech Bertand -- Luiz -- Terry -- Hutchinson Romeu Miereles -- Lampard Mata Sturridge -- Drogba/Torres :eyebrows:

recalling both Patch and Gael, abysmal loan decisions really.

Hutchinson to be on the bench, or asking too much :eyebrows:

link not working ? congrats on him! Hope AVB uses him in some way (bench, a rare start, etc).

Cech Cole -- Alex -- Luiz -- Terry - Ivanovic - Bosingwa Romeu -- Mikel -- Miereles Sturridge Maybe then we might be able to keep a clean sheet

Lalko - such a propsect yet doesn't even get one the bench. Another one going to HSV i guess- sigh... Are we that bad that we are turning to Kalou for hope - of all people?

Too bad it took him to get sacked to notice it

I hope Roman supports AVB, but really, we can't ease our minds about because some journalist made an assumption. They said Mata was Arsenal bound but he came to SB, for example, but i do hope it's true. Hope AVB starts to make changes tactically though - he needs to experiment to some exstent.

OUtsung and outdone because of our once plus, which is now one of our biggest minus's.
