enigma

Not impressed with the premier league sides this year. All they keep doing is defending and countering.

We'll scrape this by 1 goal or draw.

I can't stand this going back with the ball all the time.

Sturridge!

Lukaku has been Everton's best player so far this season. He's won them quite a few games this season

What, you had long hair too?

Apparently we are after Jackson Martinez. He has hinted at a Porto exit.

I personally think kdb is too good a player to leave out of the Belgium squad. Surely the manager knows how good he is by now. Anyway, who else have Belgium got who could replace him?

Just watching the highlights of the sweden v portugal game. Ronaldo scores, then Ibra, then Ronaldo, then Ibra, then Ronaldo again. The guy is a machine! The look on Ibrahimovic's face after Ronaldo scored the 2nd goal was like "What the f**k do I have to do to outscore this prick!"

I don't believe that goalkeepers need to settle in to a league. Goalies have the easiest settling in of any player on the field. Their duties are the same every game, in every league, so I don't see why courtois couldn't come straight in and continue where he left off in the spanish league.

I think if mourinho wants players who are hardworking and track back, then he needs to start buying those kind of players. We have a group of players who, over the last few years, have been allowed to play at a comfortable pace game after game with no change. They are obviously not used to it and who knows whether they ever will get used to it. We need to start scouting hardworking players and replacing some of our lazy existing ones. I feel the only one player we could actually allow to free roam would be mata, the others just never seem bothered to work hard for the team.

If anyone will improve, I think he will. Piazon is good as well. I like atsu though as he looks like a hazard-esque player and he could play on the left or right, and being a left footed player, he would add something to the team. All our wingers are right footed, so a left footer would benefit us as he could play on the right wing and cut in or on the left to cross the ball in.

I'm not sure if there's a thread on here about this, but I wanted to start it because I am really excited to see how Christian atsu progresses. I feel he'll be a very dangerous player under mourinho's guidance. He is a lefty as well, which is something we lack on the wing.

KDB needs to step up and do as his told if he wants a place in the team. I noticed how f**king lazy our players are for their national sides, most notably the brazilian players - absolute disgrace!

Didn't Ozil and Gundogan used to play for Turkey?

Not at home though.

If we can't get anyone else, why not?

Jose wants him for 60 million apparently.

Newcastle 1-0 up. They have been threatening.

Yet Oscar still plays after having below par performqnces in at least the last 2 outings. Azpi being played at LB when you've got a guy in his position who does nothing but frustrate when going forward, bertrand having no trust put in him, lampard still getting a first team place no matter how much of a shocker he's having. This is the same sh*te that almost everyone on the forum has been moaning about and yet nothing changes. It's down to jose to change it, but he seems reluctant.

Anyone think Jose isn't as bothered this time around? I know it's out there, but he just hasn't seemed the same. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong as he seems passionate, but the decisions he is making are very odd to say the least. It's like he's trying to see how far the fans patience will go.

Team playing sh*te, losing to teams we shouldn't be, mata not playing, players being played in wrong positions, the brazilians not finding form and Hazard misses an important training session. Doesn't sound great.

Not watching it, but by the way people are describing the match on here, it sounds painful! Can't blame November as everyone else is winning just fine. Wasn't too long ago that everyone was raving about keeping lampard here "blah, blah, blah."

Who are Southampton and liverpool playing?

Watching the highlights at the moment, Dortmund were all over them! I know it only takes one goal, but a bad pass for the dortmund player led to Arsenal possession and the goal. Lewandowski also had a penalty decision go against him.
