The top 5 players in the league 5 games in would have to be: Hazard, Ben Arfa, Fellaini, Cazorla and Michu.

How about Campbell getting a game?

Elliot Tarvenier Coloccini Williamson Santon Bigirimana Tiote Marveaux Sameobi Vuckic Ameobi

He is fucking class. Most entertaining footballer in the premiership by a country fucking mile.

It wasnt worth the risk at all to be honest. It was a stupid thing to do. The team comes way ahead of any individual of their confidence. Had he scored and kick started his season then the team benefits from that, I doubt any of them thought he would miss it. Yes at 1-0 it was a risk but I 100% understand why they tried it. But thats really not the point. It was a game we were desprate to win, HBA had the ball and wanted to take it after scoring the one against Spurs and Jonas and Ba talked him out of it. At 2 or 3 nil I would totally agree with you, but at 1-0 it was a daft thing to do and acould have cost us. Poor Hatem. Let him do what he wants when he wants.

Think he would flourish even more once Cabaye is back to full form, Tiote is consistantly fit and Anita adapts to the pace and physicality of the league. A midfield three would allow us to dictate games more, which is what I think we need to make HBA even more effective than he already is.

Though Santon, Perch and Ben Arfa were outstanding. The problems rests with our movement off the ball. We cant retain posession because the passing options arent being created. Frustrating to watch. But 3 point will do.

Fuck me .. we won .. but still far from convincing

Obertan

Is Tiote going to prison after this?

WTF is Tiote doing

Tiote an animal lacking sharpness

Tiote is a fucking animal

Tiote needs to play against Man Utd, get his sharpness up.

Obertan will play right, freeing up HBA?

Wow Cisse is so far off right now its rediculous. Get Ameobi on

Willy going close again

Perch is class

Ben Arfa taking the piss here

Taylor goes close

OH WOW .. Ben Arfa close

Harper .. fantastic there

Need three points, and a good performance.

Why on Earth was Cisse taking it? He missed one in preseason .. should have been Ben Arfa, Ba or Cabaye.

Terrible
