Simpson, please, I beg you

I am pretty sure we can't pass that well with williamson out there.

Obertan would be a world beater if he has Jonas' work rate and football brain.

He has to learn a huge lot to improve his positioning at defense though.

The system last year was basically we put 3 midfield (cabaye, tiote, jonas) to protect the defense line, and use the direct approach to utilize our strikers' clinical finishing and prevent counter attack. This system worked last season because the key players were always available. We got huge luck in having most of them free from injury. The result proved that this system "worked". Not saying that we should continue this formula this season, but I just want to emphasize that this system hugely depends on the availability of those key players which are not ALL available this season. As a result the defense line completely collapsed. On the other hand, this system wont bring us enough goals to cover up the goals conceded and that's why where we are now.

That's why I said Pardew has a point in playing that rigid direct style last season because our defenders are fucking hopeless.

That said, who else can play now when Anita's injured as well? Tiote back?

You have to wonder why we could be fifth when Danny is our first choice RB last year.

ACL or broken leg?

OK first half. Fucking terrible 2nd half. The last goal was an unforgivable sin.

Whatever. Just don't play again is ok.

No more negatives here please, tons of shits outside already

What a great defense

What a sub

I don't understand. Such clause have higher hierarchy than FIFA's rule? When a player also has no right to choose not to go?

I remember it now, Makelele! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/5291486.stm Mental Oh, fuck, yea that's the one So what's next? The club's allowed to keep the players if they pay some money to those FA?

What about "retired from international football" then? Say if a player announced that publicly, and if he's called up to the squad, could the player refuse to join?

Well this kind of thing is getting irritating. So as the Pardew - the bastard of the World writings.

Oh fuck, please, not again.

Then you should look at who are the backups. Bigi? fergie? Sammy? We even lose Raylor FFS.

Who the fuck here say swansea is a shit team that we should easy get a win?

Michu is not a striker before he came to England.

The players have to be technically very gifted to be able to go through the middle. Other than Marveaux and HBA, who else we have? Amanfitiano?

We have been lack of wide players for ages. Obertan is the only one we have now. Marveaux is not a winger, HBA is forced to be a winger, and Jonas is no longer a football player.

There can be. For example, if the opposition change their set-up mid-game, which swings the game in their favour, which forces you to re-evaluate your own system/personnel and make a switch. I see, got it, agree then.
