Ronaldo

He offers nothing outside the 18-yard box and next to nothing inside it. I hope Hughton's not stupid enough to start him again, but he probably is, sadly.

Mancini can't build a team, he doesn't have the time. He's had to essentially buy a brand new one, made-up of players motivated by money. It's destined to fail.

The first few weeks were pretty barren, but i've won £400+ 4 times since mid-September. Been going really well for me. Gotta give thanks to Barca, tbh. The amount of times they've come through for me when i've needed a -1 or -2 has been phenomenal. Suppose it makes up for the large amount they've cost me in the last 2 Champions Leagues.

Krul's had 3 very solid games in the last 8 days. If he can continue that, I think he'll stay put.

Nobody is saying that it's his fault, man. And i've no problem with him getting 5 minutes at Arsenal, it's the 45 minutes against Blackburn and 15 against Fulham when we need momentum/a goal that pisses me off. As i've said, i'd far rather have him in the side than Lovenkrands. Our striking options are beyond a joke.

Don't agree with that per se - it's laughable that he's our best forward option from the bench, but not the fact he's making appearances. I'd still have him on there though, and in games such as Sunderland and Arsenal it can only aid his development by giving him minutes. Him getting an entire half against Blackburn just highlights how short we are in the forward department. Well, yeah, that's precisely my point.

None of that is 'consistency,' though. With us it's 5 games out of 7.

See what's missing?

We know.

I very rarely use one-word answers, terrible impression.

Name another.

He's a bigger idiot for wanting Tiote to shoot in the first place. I'd rather Tim Krul took a punt.

We're the only side doing it consistently, to be fair.

Said this right after the Sunderland game.

I don't really see a pattern there.

He's the opposite to Guthrie in terms of attributes, based on what i've seen. Doesn't have great technique but covers loads of ground.

You didn't exactly run away with Serie A last season, either. You know fine well you'll climb the table and finish in the top 2 without doubt, think yourself lucky.

This is the second time I've seen you compare him to Beardsley. Please can you explain why you think this is the case? Because he's completely mental, man. Apparently a deflected goal equates to destroying a team.

They deserved about 5-0. It's been said before that they're all about the spine of their team; Lampard, Terry, Drogba and to a lesser extent, Essien. But we've seen just how true that is in recent weeks. Drogba is nowhere near form/fitness. I'd honestly fancy our chances against them if the same personnel turns up at SJP.

I hope you feel it more often. Especially soon, in Europe.

Some of us can admit when we're wrong. Others perpetuate their petty little long-standing grudges against players to the point they start imagining/fabricating mistakes.

That's a pretty good stat since he has 15 assist last season so. 5 goals (open play more or less if you're stat is accurate) and 15 assist is pretty good for a playmaker especially when he is maybe the 3rd or 4th scorer in the team. So we can establish he's a 'pretty good' player these days? He still has that touch of class, but this isn't his type of game.

Minus penalties he has about 10 league goals for Milan - in over 2 years. He's completely finished.

Because Ronaldinho doesn't deserve to be on the field?

Should be renamed the 'Point-Scoring Thread' tbh. All i've said is that the lad should be out on loan, not getting sporadic minutes at a level he's completely unsuited to. The arrogance is coming from elsewhere.
