Grosso is a coach? That guy had one good month in his whole career as a player and should just try and live of that rather than try and coach.
But Materazzi coaching sounds like the greatest thing ever. I think he could actually kill a player.
And Moratti must really hate Thohir if he has sided with Agnelli

Bayern players say otherwise.
he's better than Lambert and Balo if that's the type of striker Rogers wants
I'm actually surprised nobody bought him in the summer.
Liverpool should buy Džeko. It looks like he's on his way out of City.

We're only 3 points behind City? What in the fuck...

City won't sell him to us (or anyone in the PL) for a reasonable fee, and better clubs than us will be after him
Our Saviour is playing. No chance Linius.
If Frank finally sees the light and start using Milik every game we might have a striker for you guys in about 3 years. You can sing a pre-order contract for 25 million.

I'm going to choose to be temporarily optimistic
If we carry on playing with 2 up front, and Balotelli finds the positions he did yesterday, goals will come to him. Needs a tap-in or two to spark a little run though, at the moment he's basically shitting himself whenever the ball falls to him.

Hopefully (no offense)
Need to win next weekend. What lineup/formation do you reckon you'll play against us?
Two up front will do Balo good. Playing him up front on his own is asking for trouble.
He's been dreadful so far. Would love to be proven wrong though.

Pereyra on the right will be good.
Why Morata doesn't get a start is beyond me, but hopefully Llion can get off the mark today. When he plays, he works really hard for the team but he needs to start banging them in, and you'd think Palermo would be a good opportunity to do that.

Eto'o is really good. I'm glad he has played for our club!
I remember when I was hyped about Eto'o in Amsterdam. What a time to be alive.
;_;
You can't start thinking that way already!

That's been clear for a while, but Rodgers is understandably hesitant to play 4-4-2, given that all 3 of the strikers available to us have massive weaknesses, so in theory it makes more sense to sacrifice numbers up front for numbers and (supposed) quality in midfield. But when we play one up front, we may as well have nobody up front. So it's all or nothing really.
B-Rod needs to make decisions quicker though, sometimes it's obvious that a change needs to be made after like 20 minutes, so if we go to 4-4-2 there'll be occasions where we should take a striker off (West Ham away springs to mind) but he'll still wait til the hour-mark to do it, or half-time at best
That is where Mourinho in particular has every other manager in the world beat imo. Not afraid at all to do what's needed, no matter how much time is left.

Oh dear Burnley.
You watching us today ?

How does English football solve the issue of teams essentially choosing guaranteed relegation and parachute payments over trying to build a squad capable of survival, as Burnley have?
De Boer has this annoying habbit of bringing in players ten minutes before the end of the game.
In a rare occasion that leads to this though.

I forsure thought he was going to score from that far out. What a talent.

Poulsen exits, the good times flow.
The way of the world.

it's better then them overpaying and getting in financial trouble!
I am. Work said they didn't need me today, dat higher than expected wage percentage.
It's a tricky one, because feasibly if a bunch of teams did it and came up every year and you have numerous championship clubs comfortable, you could eventually get stronger clubs coming up.
Burnley's promotion was unexpected last year as well to be honest.
encourage them to stay up with more money the second season than the first.
Can we have Cahill?
They can't. Business, innit. At least they're spending £50m for D. Luiz.
I now notice the times fell off. He came on in the 80th minute and then scored those goals

That's my point though. Personally (clearly uninformed opinion here), I'd reduce parachute payments in favour of more money being instantly awarded to promoted teams (especially to teams who gain automatic promotion)
If they blow it all on shite and get relegated regardless, tough shit.
The lost kid
It's an odd one Hitch, because "building a squad capable of survival" for a club the size of Burnley, who don't have sugar daddy backing, and relegation might plunge the club into administration.
Probably a canny move what they are doing in the long term. Doesn't stop Dyche being a moronic coach
Reducing the ridiculous amount of parachute payments would help and stop other championship clubs pushing themselves to the brink of financial ruin trying to get themselves up.
Trying to force teams to spend beyond their means as you are suggesting is a precipitate of the unsustainable financial culture the PL has created.
