Tuttosport claims Mario Balotelli was offered to Juventus, but they are not interested in the Liverpool striker.

Gerrard actually has the ability to do it.

They're both as bad each other. And I mean that as a compliment, I've seen them both pull off inch perfect 70 yard passes with pin point accuracy, however people always forget the 20 attempts that went wayward before hand

No, they 100% aren't as bad as each other.

I don't forget when Gerrard tries and fails, but he doesn't try it as often as Rooney and he's immeasurably better at passing the football.

You're condensing it to an overly-simplistic degree.

Did you know Eljero Elia is playing like right now

I thought for the longest time he was a fever-dream, or a figment of my imagination

Looool poor guy, we ruind his career when you think about it

His finest moment was calling out Conte on twitter "I AINT INJURED"

No you aint, you're just shit.

Haven't been great here, but glad we're the team creating the chances.

Really unclear as to what Shaw's role is, and I think he is too.

Would swap Mata for Herrera, move Rooney up front.

I see your point. However I guess my feelings still and stand and the point I was trying to make is that they both over attempt and fail the Hollywood pass. Gerrard is obviously the better passer not what I was trying imply.

The only thing this back 3 has over the diamond is that Blind and Carrick can play together. It feels so much safer with Blind at LCB. A proper CB instead of Smalling/Jones could actually make it work .

Past the midfield line the passing is atrocious tho. I don't get a sense Di Maria is being used properly where he is now. =/

Better team.

Not done much with the ball in the final 3rd.

Mata playing well. Van Persie getting himself about. Di Maria and Rooney need to improve their final ball.

We've got numerous people more versatile and capable in his position.

I've not been full-Suso for almost two seasons, now. He just didn't develop as well as anyone would've hoped. By all accounts seems a little dumb, too.

All about Bossiter, Ibe and Ojo now.

We have seen how DM plays in the diamond vs. other positions.

Same. Just wish we'd try the diamond again with Di Maria on the left, the best football we've played and the best we've got out of Marie.

The middle of the pitch looks so empty with Carrick/Rooney wanting to play deep for the whole game.
