Our boys are doing well. I'd still rather they didn't play, after all the games they've played and the crazy week we have ahead.

 
Christ neymar is a greedy little sod.

 
:laugh2:

Luiz almost knocked out a Russian defender with that free kick.

IN THE FACE!!

 
He's had a very poor game, kaka playing well though.

 
The Russians couldn't live with Hulk.

Great wing play down the left hand side.

I liked the look of Hernanes too, never seen him before.

Neymar has to be the most over-hyped player in history.

 
Hulk was amazing when he came on, it has to be said, maybe he is a player after all.. Was also impressed with Marcelo. The two Chelsea boys didn't let themselves down, though its clear Oscar is always the first man dubbed in this team.

Neymar very poor again but i still think hes going to be a massive player but he just isn't up for these games which is his issue.

Was toying about going earlier today. Glad I didn't , overall it was poor, and lets be honest, it's f**king freezing out there.

 
Just came back from the Bridge. What an atmosphere! Easily the best it's been this season, even under RDM.

Agree with all the comments about Neymar - every time he got it he did nothing. Don't want him anywhere near Chelsea.

Internationals generally isn't the best way to judge a player, although that said I thought Fernando was class. Among the Top 10 DM's in the world for me and would much rather him than Fellani.

A massive player that isn't up for the big games?

He should join Gomez at Bayern.

 
So you'd call last night a big game then?

 
I think for neymar it maybe was a big game as he had something to prove after several poor games by him. Agree about hulk though, did more in this cameo than over every seen before,looked very direct and strong.

 
Possibly very small minded of me but until I see Neymar playing in a highly competitive European league I will remain unconvinced about him.

I think he gets a lot of protection in Brazil from officials and I also think he gets too much respect from defenders, I've seen clips of him where defenders just stand too far off of him allowing him to do some over the top step overs which a defender in Europe just wouldn't give you time to do.

I've watched Neymar play 3 games;

Against Barca (for Santos)

and against England and Russia

in all 3 games he was selfish and quite obviously trying to show off to the world how good he is, whether he can play better when he's not trying so hard to show off I don't know because I don't get a chance to watch the Brazilian league.

But yes, those 3 games are 3 of his biggest, because they're some of the few chances the wider footballing world has to watch him against top class opponents (if you can call the England/Russia backlines top class), and on both occasions he has failed.
