Just saw on SSN, CR7 has never scored at Anfield. Did not know that.

With the form he is in I doubt not scoring there is going to play on his mind,

City drew as well, they just can't seem to break Europe, granted CSKA got a dodgy penalty decision

Ronaldo to score tomorrow..rips off his shirt to reveal a t-shirt with "Forever a Manc" on the front and "I'm coming home" on the back.

A guy can dream right?

No, no. He bangs in a hat-trick, runs over to Rodgers, gives him a stunner THEN whips off the shirt!

Remy going off injured, bit of a boost for is, obviously never nice to see a player injured

Nani scores again tonight in the champions league, and we're also paying his wages, ****ing disgrace.

They can be proud of that, for about another 24 hours.

Nani has now become that american football quarterback cliche living off that one throw that won the superbowl. That was his season man. Now he just hangs around the field wearing his old jacket.

Aye except the powers that be decided to give him a bumper 5 year contract after which he barely played a game for us and now we're paying him a fortune to play for another team.

More of a kicker than a QB imo.

The powers that be, or former manager, whichever. Just because someone gets a new contract that doesn't mean they either have to play or sit on our bench whilst they get paid. Far more beneficial for a player to be playing week in, week out than not.

And I'd compare him to Michael Vick post-jail if I was going to compare him to anything.

What the hell is a bumper 5 year contract?


Well, to extend his contract means we can sell him for a bit of money, or loan out for the season we dont need a bumper squad. If he becomes good again, win win

Yay bumper buzz words

How Soon Is Now

Any mention of Di Maria ? Fantasy football site has him down as a thigh injury.

Yeah, I know what it means.

Its a buzz word, an adjective. pointless word to make something seem bigger than it is with no idea of how much exactly.

He more than likely just got an extension.

Meh, I dont care, im not gonna have a nani argument because they are stupid and everyone hates them.

Buzzwords makes me cringe

Chelsea looked good tonight. Hopefully that game takes something out of them for Sunday though.

A midweek stroll in the park at home not a hope it takes anything out of them. If Costa is fit for Sunday i am actually terrified of what he will do.

And we just know Costa will be fit and all

They just said on TV3 mourninho said no costa or remy on Sunday? Probably typical mourihno bs.

Opposition were very poor, we got 2 soft penalties but missed a few easy chances.

It was the perfect game before OT though, a glorified training match for 60mins and it was at home.

Remy is probably out of Sunday, looked like he tweaked his hamstring or groin.

I'd say if Costa is anywhere near fit, he'll be played.

Drogba showed all the signs of a 36 year old lacking match practice, nothing was sticking and his general play was only ok.

Cesc and Oscar were taken off.

Schurrle should be back this weekend and possibly Ramires too but all the talk will be about Costa.

The_Kew_Tour

This will be first big test for players like Blind and Herrera.

We need big game from both. Will excuse the latter for last night as he looked to not be fully recovered.

Backstreet Moyes

Hope Afroman starts Sunday i would not be surprised to see him replace Mata as a more direct option against Chelsea.

J. Marston

Chelsea will be fine without Costa or Remy. If the likes of Jamie Vardy can dismantle our defence then Hazard, Fabregas and Oscar shouldn't have too much trouble.

quicker than anything that comes out of Mourinho's mouth.

I forgot to post this when the whole Ed Woodward gif popped up the other day so not really relevant now, only this is something they do regularly in the NFL, bad lip reading But they dub over it, highlights how easily you can mistake what someone is saying

Anyone blaming Rafael, Jones, Rojo etc for the second goal should look at the brilliant analysis done by Neville and Carragher after the game

It all starts wiht Fellaini walking around a bit
Di Maria more interested in going back to wide left then filling the CM hole left by Fellaini, where he actually was standing during WBA build up play
Blind attacking the ball, closing down the space because WBA player was given too much time and room. Not sure where Adnan or RVP was at this point either but not blaming them
Then Jones following suit and filling the gap left by Blind, Fellaini + Di Maria still nowhere to be seen
At this point you could make a point of (a) Raf steps up which is dodgey or (b) Rojo drops and covers Jones ass
Nothing GK could have done

Like when he said Costa would be out at the weekend and the whole of the UK and Ireland captained him in there FPL team? I captained Aguero

Also the difference in fixtures. We have played Man City & Spurs both away from home & Southampton too.

Plus the champions league and missing Sturridge and others here and there

Kids are so demanding these days

Costa has a long term problem, he needs to be managed carefully right now, that has been clear since the transfer went through. With the United game coming up there was really very little chance he would risk him against Palace and absolutely no chance he was going to play against Maribor.

If he doesn't start I will be astonished.
