Chelsea doing the old 4-6-0 then?

Starting to sound like RTG in here

Messi 3-0. Made it look so easy.

Nice to see divers getting booked, scum for even trying it at 2-0 up.

Lush from Iniesta

And 2-0 Lille.

Clearly not enough British plodders in either team to win that game.

Who the hell chose this game for a Monday night?

Was Martin Jol there?

Has Hughes still not got the sack yet?

The club claim they sent information to Senegal and heard nothing from them. If that is the case why didn't they follow it up and find out why they'd heard nothing? I try to contact people daily at work and don't always hear back from them. When this happens I contact them again to make sure they have whatever information I originally sent to them. I don't bury my head in the sand and hope everything is all right in the world. In the statement they say that they tried on Sunday and on Monday.

Prefer his goal against Bolton tbh.

I can't see much wrong with Swedish media wanking over Zlatans 4 goals against big football country and on the opening game of a new stadium. Zlatan is the boss, hope he now gets some recognition in England too. We had Safari-Olsson-Granqvist-Lustig. England should have scored 73 goals on that logic. Special performance last night, nothing wrong in praising him ffs Even by the terrible standards of our sports journalists, there was little room for exaggregation. The media wankfest over him here is usually extremely tedious and well exaggerated, but considering the goals he scored yesterday, you can't blame them at all on this occasion.

Yeah, cause we always look better without Cabaye in the team

Linked to this, take Leon Osman. Hardly a spectacular player nor a top drawer player, but a fairly good one who is technically sound. Should have been in the squad a while ago but instead dross like Henderson are handed opportunities, and Gareth fucking Barry still gets picked. Osman however plays for Everton (read: not Man Utd, Liverpool etc). He is a better footballer than Tom Cleverley for example IMO. The latter however plays for Man Utd. Not saying we should be regularly playing Osman, but it's scandalous someone like him wasn't given an opportunity earlier. For me, our insistence on playing someone like Barry (of Man City royalty) over giving someone like Osman a chance earlier on sums up what's been wrong with this country's national team and set-up for quite a long time. Yep, totally agree. It's scandalous that Leon Osman has had to wait until now to play for England, whilst the likes of Barry, Cleverley and Carrick have been regularly playing. Good game by Caulker too. He is going to be a fixture for many years. I assume you mean Lampard or Gerrard, because Cleverly has what, five caps?

Is it on tv in the UK?

That doesn't make any sense at all If he's off in January, it's not like we're going to get more than £7m anyway, so it doesn't matter if he or anyone else scores for us. Surely then it'd be better to just tell him to play out wide and try and Cissé in form for when he leaves and the team to get used to the 4-3-3 again?

I'm starting to doubt that Roy watches any other football than Liverpool tbh

Aye.

Even though Ba didn't score when he was played wide last season, he was still playing very well in most games. We need to get back to that system because it suits pretty much all our players and we Cissé unfortunately is not suited for the wide role in that system, but Ba is.

Bollocks.

Useless today.

Di Matteo is clueless. Does he know any other formation than 4-2-3-1?

The fuck would you take Oscar off? Get Mikel off man, you need three points here.

I'm also worried if we do start benching him he will say "fuck this club, I'm off" and want out in January/end of season. He will go to another side who don't play hoof ball and bang in shit loads. He'd probably get a hat trick against us.
