middleweight

Weve gotta line up like this. JT walks in if he's available. Id probably play cole in such a big game, although bertrand hasn't done much to warrant being dropped so that would be a pick based on reputation, rightly or wrongly. Not sure i would go with Romeu, he's looked poor in the last couple of games he's played in and we may need more experience. Id prefer a midfield of Lampard-Essien-Ramires. Upfront i think weve gotta go with danny and didier, although i dont think drobga will fair any better than torres. I hope im wrong.

If he did have the courage to challenge this racist monster, why didnt he report it to a steward? He makes no mention of this.

With an MCL injury he'll be out for the season now, if he isnt itll be a miracle

Medial Ligament damage for Ramires

As Brayerz, these are my thoughts on todays game This is just highlighting the areas I think we could improve in, not trying to be negative as I think there were any positives. Overall I’m frustrated not because i think we played sh*te, but because I think on another day we could have taken all 3 points, 1 Cech too indecisive, needs to be more commanding. 1st goal he should be clattering people 2 Bosingwa was poor and kept turning his back to the attacker, schoolboy mistake 3 Ashley Cole constantly out of position 4 Ivanovic all over the place 5 Terry not controlling defence – 1st goal – lampard and cole step-up, terry drops in with the runner. Whos organising?? 6 Defence as a unit looked poor 7 Miereles and Mata looked good and dangerous 8 As said by many Lampard now seems ineffective, looked alot more dangerous when Anelka came on 9 Sturridge threat in 1st half, disappeared in 2nd 10 Torres was improved today, his finish and his rounding of the keeper for his miss were world class. I’m not sure there are many if any strikers in the prem who can round a keeper as easily as Torres did today. Also, if I hear another commentator say “the old Torres would have scored that” every time he has a half chance, Im going to explode. I think people think an in form Liverpool Torres scored every time he touch the ball 11 Not only is Mikels ball rentention and distribution incredibly poor, he slows the game down massively when he’s in possession. Takes him an age to make a decision 12 Really pi**ed me off with 2 minutes off normal time left and a further 5 minutes of injury time left, we were faffing around with free kicks, etc in our own box, instead of getting the ball forward it was almost like we’d given up. We didn’t fight till the last second Its not many times you come away from Old Trafford having lost 3-1, thinking we were hard done to and possibly should have won it. Thoughts?

If the modric bid fails, who would we all like to see instead?

Ok, I see. So we could have a squad of 17 foreign players and no HG players

Really? I always thought it was a way of forcing teams to sign HG players. Why is it not enforced?

Can we register Homegrown U21 players to fill the HG quota even though U21s dont have to be registered, Josh for example? I think I remember this could be done on Football Manager which is usually pretty accurate.

Hi Guys First post, what dya think the chances of tickets being available for general sale and when willl they go on GS. Im a chelsea fan who lives abroad but will be back in the UK for that date so want to catch the game. Cheers
