Our left side is truly disgusting. Get Aarons on. Other than watch those two idiots try and play, I've been pleasantly surprised! I've just been entertained, I think.

I had Theo in originally but I'm not sure he'll start? He's big money.

Sell Ayew, buy Chamberlain Then you can get whoever keeper you want. Hmmm, I don't really like chamberlain that much, I think selling Ayew is probably the route I need to go down though, he's quite a bit of money, could get someone else who already knows the league in.

My questions are: Is Sinclair actually going to be good? I just saw he scored a hattrick in pre season. Do any teams have particularly good starts? I have seen Southampton have a good one, and we have a canny shit one. Might swap Ayew out for a So'ton midfielder? Is there a similarly priced keeper who'll start and score more points than Krul? Either by virtue of clean sheets or saves...

Been putting this off for days, finally downloaded the app and did this team at work, obviously canny rushed, haven't looked at fixtures or anything: Krul (Couldn't afford anyone better, probably make plenty of saves) Ivanovic Mertesacker Cédric Sinclair Sterling Hazard Fabregas Ayew Rooney Benteke Subs: Schwarzer, Deeney, Baker, Hoban (Cheap shit, excluding Deeney, who's just cheap)

Why does this apply to Cabella, and not Colback? Because Colback played pretty much every game last season and we know what he can offer. Cabella was ostracised fairly early under Pardew as he wasn't a "grafter" and didn't get back enough, so him given free roam to attack and not limited would be great. Cabella's always worked hard for the team. He got dropped because he wasn't doing well going forward Total minutes played - Colback 3129 Cabella 1943 Cabella will do better than Colback with equal playing time. It's not even up for debate about him going forward, he played in dribs and drabs, much like Hatem was subjected too. hba always showed he was capable though, he would drive at players, produce things out of nothing. I've seen very little from cabella to show he's capable of the same. when he gets his chance next year, he must start producing. @ thinking we'll ever have a player capable of HBA's skills again

It's a yes from me, almost back from my metatarsal injury now. Just have to learn to play football in the intervening time.

How long has he been out? 3-4 weeks? Will be good to have him back in the squad, push Obertan and Gouffran further down the teamsheet.

Sissoko was absolute toilet again today

Obertan has been out best player most threat. Janmaat's crossing has been awful.

This conversation is terrible

Why would he be on the Felling bypass? Well he doesn't want to be in Felling like.

I'm not buying one if it's plain like.

:lol:

Aye, he's already my favourite player.

Love a crunch corner, me.

You guys. Is it actually about the stripes on the back? Don't be so precious, it's about buying a non-profit alternative to the Official brand, and lending your support to the campaign to remove Mike Ashley. Stripes on the back ffs.

Always goes down well, What a tune. Could hear that being belted out at SJP.

Seen Sterling scores within minutes of his debut for Man City against Roma. Also fell over the ball

That 20 year old has scored against top level competition in the CL, he's a lot more experienced than his age gives credit for. Anderlecht played the majority of last season with a 4-2-3-1 formation with Mitrovic up top - It wouldn't be anything he wasn't used to and I think that de Jong and Ayoze floating about being pests in the space behind would give him ample support. I think Cisse is quite 1 dimensional and wouldn't work well up front as part of a two, he can't play off the shoulder as he doesn't have the pace and is shite at holding the ball up. Playing Cisse would mean someone would have to be shifted out wide. Impact sub for me like I'm losing hope with Cisse. Scores goals but his link up and general combativeness is getting worse and worse.

Schweinsteiger is coming in a year or two past his best. Still better than their current midfield options, but he's not going to change the fortunes of the team like Muller would.

Aye, I'm a guile and vision type man, but I've got a good feeling about him.
