A much better game to look forward.

just a little presumptious

Hardly. We were 2-0 up against a team we should have hit for double figures.

This is a game for us to have a real test, Come on Chelsea!!!

[Rambo 1,729]

Is this game taking place in Hong Kong as well?

[ZanSnake 1,211]

Maybe we can face a team who won't have all eleven players in the box at any point of the game

The first taste of Premiership football for AVB. Can't wait

Interesting to see how we fair against a side who wont ( or shouldnt) park the bus against us

This will be a good test for us, i'm most definitely looking forward to it.

one thing I hope is that Yossi starts . Ive watched the whole of the last game 3 times now . The last time I only concentrated on watching him.

He did something I havent seen from any of our players since Zola left . As soon as he passed the ball he was constantly on the move

finding space where he could recieve the ball .This type of movement is very difficult to mark . Allied with this ball control and dribbling skill it

was a revealation to me . I defended him in the past as a useful squad player but perhaps he has much more to offer . Dont misquote me

he isnt a Zola or a Messi BUT he does have some of their qualities ...qualities I dont see in the rest of our squad.

Didn't Benayoun play 90 minutes on Wednesday? I seriously doubt AVB will start him or play him many minutes. Too early in the season to push the limit.

Benayoun was one of the few, or perhaps the only player I liked from Liverpool... the other being Kuyt. Everytime he played against us I felt he was one of the main threats because of his movement, agility, team work and vision. He also has this great laid-back personality, concentrates fully on the football. He is a good addition to the squad, even as a backup player. Wish he was a bit younger though
