I feel that if we are going to get him 1. We should sell torres. No need for him then because he won't win his place and he is on too much money to sit on our bench. 2. If one were to happen we would have to get in another striker as well. Personally I want him but I see no room for both. I have argued before that you cannot have falcao and torres. Torres costs to keep him here + the fact we seen he cant play the second fiddle role or win his place. Neither would be happy swapping all the time.

Same team that started against Arse for me. I don't see why we should change a winning formation especially when I don't think we are strong enough with ramires on the wing, would rather us have that attacking dimension instead of loosing it and be weaker in the middle of the park. We need his pace and energy in the center.

Dont think were underestimating, more stating that if we play to our full potential then we should win.

Mancini there watching falcao. I would hate to see him at City.

On sky sports if any of you lot are interested in watching him. Ive noticed how much of a leap he has when going up for headers. He is amazing but right now feel we need to stick with torres. Can we afford him as well??

I cannot believe I have seen this thread for the first time. Dissapointing I missed out. Gem a great idea and thanks for carrying it out, secondly well done everyone else adding there own little touch. Looks great and I am sure Didier will appreciate it.

I think that as well. If we show up and get tactics right I dont see why we can't win. They haven't looked great this season, clung on against United. Im not saying we will win but I think we should if we play to our capabilities.

Spurs was going to be a tough game no matter what, I don't see how todays result has changed that. Vila have been sh*te for some time.

I feel Neymar is best playing best as a left forward. Hazard does that job fine. Dont think we need neymar.

I think its the right decision to play Lamps, I know this sounds like a overreaction but after the whole AVB situation we can see how important it is to keep him on side. I agree with those requesting Romeu. He needs some more games.

Kolarov with a good free kick, Sunderland keeper looked slow to react. Cant spell Mignolet....

Wow I can't believe the amount of empty seats that I can see at City.

So was torres? It hasn't cut him slack, probably due to him being Fernando Torres. I don't know if this was aimed at me but ill respond. I feel that it is right to defend somebody when I feel that constant criticism isn't deserved. This argument of transfer fee has been argued many times. Everybody has opinions whether it is important or not. Each to their own. Everybody agree's he isn't the same player now, that'd be foolish to disagree with that comment however it still doesn't justify the endless abuse. My main point was he's going to miss the goal, hopefully not all the time. I remember a post in this thread before which I believe was pointed out by ozztheboss that he was never extremely clinical. Video's over whole games show this instead of just the clips of his goals. He's getting in to scoring positions, he is scoring and were essentially just coming together at the moment as a team. Give it some time, and just remember the other chances that the best strikers miss as well.

Just reading through the usual torres bollocking and noticing how certain peoples view is that he is very wasteful. Watching the Man City game, Aguero has just missed two very good chances, and big Edin just missed another one. They wont get analysised in the same manner as Nando for missing a few chances. I dont understand the why we always need to question him. Were never satisfied.

Turn that sh*te off

I personally loved Ballack, he was a born leader and winner. Passing was immense and would always be trusted from the penalty spot.

I thought Cahill was great.

Ive also noted how awful the relationship between Cech and Ivan is when Ivan plays in the center. There is always communication problems between them. Me, Id personally choose Cahill and Terry. Cahill is already a favorite of mine. I was lucky enough to be sitting in the Holte when he scored that Stunning bicycle kick doing Birmingham.

His goal was classy, lovely bit of skill, sh*t defending mind.

Think your being extremily harsh on the team. We dominated for 40 mins our pressing was great, Arsenal were having shots from 40 yards, when they do that it shows were doing our job imo.

Come on Chelsea

He is a right back who can defend. Come on leaps and bounds this season.

Just the way you slid that in there made me laugh. I thought Mata was a class above and agree with your point regarding Romeu.

Chelsea tv use there interpretation, don't be surprised to see Ramires playing in the pivot.

Not only this, we haven't even implemented our new players. 1 started yesterday without the inclusion of our player of the year Juan. Were forgetting that another day we would of had two penalties, hazard would of buried both opportunities which you would generally put money on scoring those especially the second.
