I think the idea thrown around lately is to try Studge at CF

If we're in the habit of giving up one bad goal a game we need to start getting in the habit of scoring more than one ourselves.

The problem as you said it has become a bit of a habit and problem. Hopefully we can work this out, but we really do need to figure that creativity out. Whether its loaning some of our young players out or bringing some creativity in.

It is kind of ironic after what Suarez did to Ghana in the WC. I wonder if he called everyone there his "negro"'s as well?

Gary Cahill certainly isnt some new messiah, but we sure as hell could of used an extra body on defence against Tottenham. As good as case as any to sign a lad like him.

I think that's a tired argument for Luiz, he'll gain better form as he learns to play the British game and with a little more maturity. He'll do just fine.

Nps, I am really not the best or most educated here, I am sure someone else can fill in a lot more names yet.

Really? GoT is absolutely mega! I've read all five of the books now, just waiting on GRRM to finish the last two. Hopefully he doesn't die like Robert Jordan did before his series could be finished. The books might help ya a little more.

Hello back from Winnipeg, Canada. Welcome to The Shed End

There's too many rumours to follow at any one time, Gary Cahill seems to be the surest bet. Heard mention of Milos Krasic and Jack Rodwell whom seem to be a little more discussed about (which does not really mean a whole lot)

Merry christmas to all the Carefree fans from Canada!

Haha well I guess there are 75 pages there for you to figure that out!

What's the idea then? ------------Cech ---Bos-Luiz-Terry-Cole---- -----------Romeu--------- ---Ramires----Meireles -----------Mata------------ -Krasic---------------------- ---------Sturridge---------- The weakness I see there is definitely Meireles, but still better than where we were

Be nice to see Luiz back

Doesn't mean it shouldn't get its own thread, specifically since there's been more media spin about this rumour. His speed certainly could work well specifically with Sturridge, however like P4 I am not exactly looking forward to his propensity to laying on his ass when he should be playing football.

if you didn't vote for Terry, well...

Can't say we played all that bad, just lacked in the finishing department. Centre forward and a goal scoring midfield seem to be this teams glaring needs.

Like I said, lets not look past our matches before we count up our three's

Pretty sure that was their plan to go out, they have far more interested in the prem and the top 4 right now. Those games in the CL earn them far more than they ever would in terms of money and notoriety than the Europa.

Technology has worked well in other sports such as the aforementioned tennis and american rules football. I think it would be great to take some of the corruption out of the game but am a little pessimistic that the officials in FIFA and UEFA are the ones to take the lead on this.

I would of shown Kebe the door as well going down like he was shot. For the love of god you just got pushed, maybe a little showboating, but blatant embellishment on the push.

For the uninformed, who do we all throw in with 'England's new batch'? Sturridge, Wilshere, Rodwell, Walcott, Welbeck, Phil Jones, Kyle Walker?

This. I always take negative media reports with a grain of salt.

We just have to be sure that we do not let our confidence overshadow our play on game day, we saw what that did to the Mancs. The ability of our defence to deflect the Italian counterattack will be key

I know there has been a couple mentions in the random threads, but I thought I would give a unique one to the Universidade de Chile star. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2073678/No-Chelsea-bid-Eduardo-Vargas.html
