Watched their game yesterday against Bologna. They had only about 8-9 reasonably good scoring chances and scored 5 goals out of them. Pjanic had 90 touches with beastly 94% pass accuracy, while weirdo Gervinho had only 28 touches, 2 dribbles and 2 shots, both converted into goals. Aside from them, Balzaretti and Benatia are both in killer form, so don't be surprised if they take out Inter and Napoli in next matches. That Rudi Garcia guy is quite a manager, I guess. + Show Spoiler [Sampdoria - Roma 0-2] + | ||

Quite an impressive feat and it would be pretty amazing if he managed to achieve a similar feat with Roma. | ||

He is only not playing DeBruyne atm which is a shame as i thought he was doing really well. The rest of the Belgians are coming along really nicely. Hazard hasn't hit the heights of last year or shown any major improvements offensively yet, however his defensive play is great now. Even Willmott the national team head coach was dropping him last year for not defending and well now he clearly is  Come to think of it, with DeBruyne not starting much at the moment you could change the system and revert to a 4-4-2. ---------------------Lukaku - Benteke --------Hazard - Fellaini - Dembele - Mirallas Vertonhan - VanBuyten - Kompany - Alderweireld ----------------------------Courtois Is a bloody good line up? Especially considering the bench is filled with; Mignolet - Jelle Van Damme - Axel Witsel - Kevin De Bruyne - Steven Defour - Nacer Chadli - Dries Mertens AWESOME SQUAD | ||

Sending Lukaku on loan instead of having him contend against Ba, Eto'o and Torres is better than keeping him at Chelsea. Hazard hasn't really hit form, but Mourinho is having enough patience with him. edit: As for DeBruyne, well his performance against Swindon was bit... off. edit2: I guess DeBruyne could probably have been sent on loan as well, but he did start the season well and was looking a contender for a spot on the team. | ||

We'll see what happens in the Croatia game in a few weeks, I'll blame Mourinho if he isn't fit for that | ||

He should be fit, but whether he is match fit is another question. But you have an embarrassment of riches in midfield so i don't think you would miss many players anyway tbh. However i do understand your concern it must be annoying! I would be moaning my ass off if Rooney was frozen out at Man Utd! Would be QQn yanited fans everyday if that was the case XD My bet i had on them after the end of the Confederations cup is looking a good one all they need to do is get the finals and im £200 better off from a £10 bet :D | ||

2-0 now, Newcastle's defense is non-existent... Embarassing 3-0, assist by the keeper | ||

And it's 3-0. Apparently, Newcastle defenders don't like marking or heading... 3-1 Cabaye with total cracker - a solid candidate for Goal of the Month. | ||
