We tried played football against the top sides Scored 3 in the final, the same as your total CL finals goals tally Edit: More than your total
........excellent prediction and we were lucky. 1-1 it was and we did well to hang on to the draw. Constant pressure from City in the last 20 minutes when we looked well and truely cream crackered. Lucky they took Sergio Aguero off because he's the one that l would have backed to get any City winner.
yes he was he who said Costa would be found out in the Premier League, and that Kagawa was better than Hazard....guy is a proper bellend.
Chief said that. I was off the mark with kagawa mind. Good first season but under moyes he wasnt given a chance.
Iv'e seen a lot of Kagawa, and he is a very good player who was used poorly as you say. Japanese players are pretty much all very technical and super fast in their ball control. Kagawa was possibly not ideally suited to the PL style, but unfortunately, we didn't see the best of him. Just watched the Asian Championships out here and 2 players were really impressive. One is called Massimo Luongo, who is a Swindon Player of Australian Italian heritage, he was player of the series and never put a foot wrong, the other is from the UAE, Omar Abdulrhaman, really exciting attacking mid fielder with amazing flair.

Not a great performance but we've navigated a tricky period just about OK (going out the fa cup is not the end of the world whilst we are well positioned in the other 3). Jose typically playing the long game again and happy with a point to maintain the 5 point gap. Lets make sure we don't mess it up by losing to Villa or something equally daft!!
Maybe he was hampered by FFP a little, and the signings he made in the summer have certainly worked out (Luis, Costa and Fabregas all been very good). But our squad is a little thin, its plain that after our first XI, most of the second string need to be given the boot. Though I understand Rome wasn't built in a day.# If I am honest I am a little annoyed at Jose though, and not due to signings, more due to tactics. Its not been perfect this season, quite a lot of hiccups (Spurs, Bradford etc) He needs to iron some of that stuff out. I must compliment him on dropping Cahill for Zouma though.....Cahill is far too inconsistent, and I would not be surprised to see him go in the summer. Zouma looks immense when he plays too. For me in the summer we need 1x CB, 1 x midfielder as cover for Fabregas, and probably a striker if Drogba doesn't stay on, a third string striker. Attacking midfielders we are covered, between Hazard, Oscar, Willian, Cuadrado. Plus little Hazard may be making the step up soon. Onto my point though, we need to start showing our early season form again.....and soon. Costa being banned didn't help, but I think we miss Cesc more. We have players who can score (Hazard, Oscar, Remy), but no one else to assist like Cesc does.
