Kanji

Sissoko, Thauvin, Wijnaldum are sure starters for me. Smart man would then put Anita in there too. Then you decide on Perez / Aarons as the next guy and you throw Colback off Level 7 and never speak of him again.

I hate wanting to sign a skillful young left back who has a hell of a cross. is on the heels of the national side and is close friends with our marquee summer signing, like. It's def lead by you and me and I couldn't care less. I'd sign a few PSV players too just so Unbelievable could enjoy this club again, the love racist b******.

Yeah I think so

Chelsea are a truly strange club, De Bruyne and Schurrle sent to Germany whilst the legendary shuttler named Ramires and the uncreative force of Willian and the sometimes brilliant Oscar get more chances.

IKON - Guerreiro or Willems?

Key to any team is a run of form in first and second half of season. It's crazy what 4-7 wins can do In a row.

My heart says Europa, my head says midtable. 10th seems right, I think we should be fighting it out with Southampton, Swansea, Everton (fucking hell, it pisses me off saying that). In reality we should be right where Spurs and Liverpool are given the size of this club and what it's truly capable of being.

His genuine top 5 fear in football in PL against teams is SJP rocking and it being one of those crazy matches (IE: Chelsea, Man Utd, etc) where the team comes alive, the crowd is going nuts, etc. He's far more knowledgeable and is my mate so he has the utmost respect for what we used to be under SBR and what we could be with the right owner/investment etc.

my Arsenal supporting mate dreads playing us every year, "if we come up there and you guys get going...anything can happen" - he generally points to our Chelsea wins as the reason for this too

Giroud's ability to get off a shot in the box is what I'm most worried about. We always give him far too much space to get a shot off. I'd prefer Mbemba in there as he seems a really good shot blocker and stand up tackler.

Had no idea Rudiger went on loan to Roma.

Jetro, Matip/Rudiger, Some CM.

McClaren is a good man. I'm actually impressed by the level of his outward professionalism. Honestly, it should have happened ages ago but just saying.

i tell myself that is a lie to make myself feel better

He's lost like 5 steps of pace (not that he was fast) but he covered the pitch far better before and was far more agile. That first season he'd fucking battle and just barrel some people over and displayed pretty great range of passing.

Steve Black's email there was fucking fantastic. I've posted about him a few times, but his role intrigues me, I bet he absolutely LOVED Wijnaldum's goal (everyone did) but I bet he was praised to no end and shown as an example of desire, passion, and belief. All the stuff he's saying is top-notch, it's all the right stuff I've been taught in various management & leadership courses I've done over the past year for work, I'm chuffed to fucking bits that we finally have that at this club.

His style of play and way he moves about the pitch is excellent. Want him to make the wide left forward role or #10 as his own and hold it.

Glad we tied them in that game. Was a good game of soccer. If only the field was shorter and we had over time to win the game.

If there wasn't, I'm sure there will be in no time. Personally, I think that's what he thrives on and we could be a really good fit for him. Loved that interview with Ben Arfa when he loved the crowd urging him forward I'm fucking excited for Saturday. Hoping we get a full 90 out of this fella. We've finally got pace and talent on the wings again.

Question to any one who went to the match - when he got the ball wide right was there any collective "go on" like used to do for Ben Arfa?

Have a fucking go at these man, we're at home, we just smashed Northampton, we just tied Man Utd away. Have a fucking go. If Sissoko is fit you start him, Wijnaldum and Anita in midfield. You start Thauvin and Perez wide and Mitrovic up top. If Sissoko is not fit then Siem should take the #10 role to link things up and string it all together and have Wijnaldum paired with Anita. Our attacking 4-5 players can inflict damage on anyone and its people like Thauvin who can get the stadium rocking man.

Brett is back.

How / What was De Jong's style? Like what was doing throughout?

Thauvin should be starting then on Saturday

If you'd have witnessed the behavior of their fans when they've been down here you would probably think them a pack of c***s.
