West Ham away, Norwich at home.

If he drops Fletcher and goes back to the way we played vs Chelsea we will get 4 points. If he insists on playing Fletcher...

I didn't watch the Chelsea match. Fletch not fit or just playing poorly? You'd think someone like him would be useful about now when you need to get some goals; more than the opposition at least!

I'm just tired of that whole shit and I don't really understand it. The guys writing that stuff must either be Bayern fans who are desperate for a rival or just out of touch with reality.

We are not competing with Bayern, the teams we are competing with are Schlacke and Leverkusen, this season also Gladbach and Wolfsburg. We can't spend as much money as Bayern does, just look at the big fucking squad that Bayern has. And then people are like "You just spent 50m on new players, stop acting like you have no money" while completely ignoring the fact that 37m of those 50m are coming from Bayern and we actually spent very little money (when you consider the money we got for Perisic, Santana, Bittencourt, etc).

The fact that we competed very well with Bayern in the last years (especially in 11/12) is all thanks to one of the best coach staffs today, great transfers in the past, amazing player developments and a bit of luck with injuries. That all resulted in Bayern building the most likely best squad in current football and over a whole Bundesliga season, we can't compete with that. Especially when we're so fucking unlucky with injuries.

You don't even have to look close, our complete defensive part of the team is/was fucked this season. Piszczek just came back and isn't in a good form, Hummels is out, Subotic is out for the rest of the season, Schmelzer is out and Gündogan has been out for the whole season. That's 5 of 11 players, all of them would play every single match if they could, that's how important they are. Sorry we can't keep up with Bayern, Germany, but what the hell do you expect from us?

And then people are saying our transfers has been shit. Sokratis is an amazing backup as CB, actually more than just backup. Aubameyang has already scored 10 goals for us and Micky has showed more than a few times that he can decide matches on his own. You can't expect them to blow everything away when they have to settle in a team which has trouble with replacing the whole defensive part and finding itself, even with players that have been at BVB for some time now.

I don't even know why I'm writing that but fuck you Germany, go suck on Löw's cock until he fucks it up again next year.

Great post.

And I just now noticed you have a mouse over tag too, who gave it to you? :lol

Good first half. Everton looked impressive, like that Barkely kid. Arsenal looked poor until the last 5 mins where we upped the tempo and started to play some ball.

Yep. People seem to think Kos is because he runs around like he's on meth but Mert is the glue that keeps Arsenal together.

Lovren is very very close right now tho.

Yeah, they are a perfect combo because Kos has the speed, but he is a bit wild at times and is always making tackles. The Big German does not need to make as many tackles because he anticipates a lot better.

I have been enjoying Lovren this season, but I might remove him from FPL next weekend. Southampton are conceding too many right now.

Watching Lukaku makes me wonder why we didn't hold on to him this year. He seems exactly what Mou would want in front of our small technical midfielders. I yearn for us to move back to the 4-3-3 Xmas tree formation, but we just don't have the players for it currently.

If her carries on playing well, he must be booked for Chelsea squad next year. Simply must.

Bit of both. Altidore is just so much better than him at... like... everything. He was bossing Terry and Cahill, I mean they are not a great pairing but he was getting the better of them, then Fletch came on and it went to pot.

4-5-1 with Altidore supported by AJ/Giak/Borini is the future.

It's a shame Van Ginkel got injured because you'd think he'd be featuring a lot right now. Honestly, Lampard just isn't good enough to play the majority of a Premier League match at the moment. It's not that he has no uses, or he isn't an intelligent player, but he gets outmuscled and outpaced far too easily in the middle.

Oscar-NEW CM-Ramires
Hazard-Lukaku-Mata

looks good though

I feel like this is the biggest 45 minutes of our season so far.

Great teams win and get points when all their rivals drop. We win this and go 7 points clear then we are definetly true title contenders who know how to stick it to our rivals like all the great champions do.

COME ON ARSENAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't think Terry's been too bad this season to be honest (although that might just be me fucking praying Woy calls him back for the World Cup instead of the perpetually average Cahill), but yeah sounds about right. Altidore's strong, fast, holds play up well. It's just getting AJ and Giak to take advantage of any chances because Jozy isn't really the most clinical of strikers anyway is he?

I've more faith in Jozy hitting the net than Fletch atm.

Jozy just gets no chances. His goal against Chelsea is pretty much the first time he's ever had the ball at his feet in the box. Which is pathetic.

For saying Wilshere talks to chav estate talk, he's incredibly lightweight. Has a little cry whenever someone shoulder barges him.
