We beat City at home 4 times in a row but away from home that 3-3 a season or two back is about as decent as we've got from them not at the SoL.

Nooo, anyone but him.

I sometimes think Conte brought in Padoin just so Juve fans could make a scapegoat out of a mild-mannered, decent squad midfielder and deflect blame from his better players. He's a genius.

Yeah, no idea why they didn't put one or two PL games on today. At least we had Juve - Viola and there's Roma - Napoli later. Gonna play FM in a minute as well, might just fucking manage Ingerland.

Rooney was shit but it's hard to make a case for him being left out when he's playing alright for us and he is our best player on ability alone. I'd probably move him out wide for Studge tho.

Lallana - Carrick - Gerrard midfield pls

Carrick can do one; there's only room for one deep lying ping cannon and that's the Capitano Laaa, not Mr fucking Beige. Around Gerrard we need physical runners like Henderson and Wilshere, but given Wilshere's physique has less integrity than a Kinder egg I'd say Lallana has a hope of starting in that. There's a case to be made that Lallana could start ahead of Henderson, but let's not go there.

Sterling has to start. Sturridge has to start. And Rooney should start, but not in the centre.

Just saw this:



Pretty surprising stat.

I love Welbeck. Genuinely love him.

I don't think Gerrard should be playing as the deepest though, and Henderson was guff the other night; don't think he works as well in a system where he has to stick to his guns more defensively than he does under Rodgers, bombing around like a monster.

Carrick hasn't been very good this season, but I think Gerrard would benefit from being able to play a little higher up the pitch because you don't want to neuter his attacking skills.

I don't know, I wouldn't be completely opposed to Gerrard-Lallana-Henderson, think I'd just rather see someone more purely defensive instead of one of those latter two there.

Gerrard doesn't have the legs for it, especially after a season where he's played so many minutes and in an intense competition like the World Cup. Trust me, he just doesn't. The biggest problem England have (that's defo an exaggeration) is that Gerrard is the captain. As a result we'll start him in every game and be hesitant to take him off on 60. I know this because it's the same issue Liverpool face.

There's then an argument to take Carrick as a sort of 'Gerrard-lite' when he's blowing on 65, but I think that's a bit demeaning for Carrick who's by all accounts a top player.

One thing's for sure, though, play Gerrard and Carrick and you'll have a turgid performance as neither of them have the legs to justify being two of a three man midfield.

And from what I saw I agree that Hendo looked a little meek. He needs empowering to chug his way around and blast people. Outside of his little megged throughball to Welbeck he didn't do out.

Dunno why we're even debating it, we'll probably just play 4-4-2 with Gerrard and Lampard in the middle and Scholes out wide

Oh he'll definitely be going; Woy will want to bring him off the bench in search of a late equaliser when we're 2-1 down to Costa Rica.

And he'll score off a deflection, allowing him to stay in the England squad for another 4 years.

No.

you can't have Alonso above Pirlo, I'm sorry. Or fucking Ramos of all defenders.

Iker is a WC shot stopper, but really average at EVERYTHING else. Corners, freekicks, communication with his defense...you name it!

Yeah I feel the same about Casillas, kinda; wouldn't say really average but he's clearly a far better shot stopper than anything else. Can't really organise a defence. I'd have Chiellini and Pepe ahead of Ramos.

Not sure out of Pirlo and Alonso.

Fucking snortbeast cunts.

Please get Man City, please lose 8-0.

please no

I'd even rather ARSENAL won than man city

they must be stopped

yurt pls, Gigi has become way too prone to committing mistakes. Iker.

Alonso vs Pirlo was my hardest decision, but I settled on Alonso because of his work-rate

Ramos is pretty so he gets ahead of Chiello. Gotta sell shirts, baby.
