I really don't think Chelsea's tactics are part of the reason. I don't think that excuse will work for him any more. He complained that he wasn't getting balls to feet quick enough, but now he has Mata, Oscar and Hazard behind him and he's still shit. Torres is a spent force. This is something...

I would agree with Cech and Cole, and would probably throw in Ramires and maybe even Lampard, but Mata? Naa. He was anonymous for large portions of the campaign, especially against Barcelona. The style change didn't suit him and he went missing quite a lot. You? I have nothing to do with...

It didn't need defending or justifying, there's nothing wrong with it. You don't get to re-define football just because there are forms of the game that you don't like. The idea that the only reason people praised Chelsea was because they were sick of Barca borders on the egotistical. People...

Apparently RDM still hasn't turned up for the press conference. Might have been sacked.

Arsenal are not contenders for the league. They haven't been for years.

Not really. Arsenal have a better squad than England.

I seriously doubt it. Suarez has just signed a new contract and expressed how long he wants to stay at the club, but more importantly, City don't need him. With Aguero, Tevez, Balotelli and Džeko they already have a surplus of quality strikers.

I wouldn't go so far as to say he carries England, but he's definitely one of our better performers and doesn't deserve the criticism he gets. 5 goals in 11 games this year is a very solid record for international football. The problem for England is that the FA want to move toward a more...

Before the game I was going to say 'in a friendly? No chance'. Glad I never now :lol:

Well, being tactically aware and having good link up play are pretty massive parts of the game to be fair. He has great close control and dribbling ability, but other parts of his game let him down, most notably his decision making. It's infuriating watching him pick the ball up and then just...

This isn't something new. There's been a big difference between club and country form for years.

Because he looks a different player for Germany.

Better video here.

Same thing happens with Silva. May take him a while to adjust to the physicality of the league.

McEachran tonight:

He's Arsenal best goalscorer. 8 goals and 4 assists in 14 games, many of which were sub appearances.

I think Wilshere would have been left out but for his one match suspension. I know Wenger had asked that he be left out. FA conspiracy?!?!?!?! :pep: Relatively pleased with that squad. Would rather not see Gerrard or Shawcross in there, but apart from that mostly who I would pick. Also, what...

What a goal from Toure.

Looks like Mancini is trying zonal marking. Hasn't worked out so well :lol:
