Haha Arsenal.. Not sure why Wenger bought another midfielder when they have Ramsey Carzorla Coquelin Elneny and Wilshere. It's not like he needs another striker or defender..

Worst thing is we're keeping Gnabry, who couldn't get into the team at fucking West Brom, and specialists in mediocrity Walcott and Ox around while sending Joel Campbell to Sporting.

To be fair, Gnabry was one of the best players in the German Olympic squad, and they almost won the damn thing.

Same old Chelsea yesterday. Every time Chelsea has the ball in the wings, only Costa is in the box. The rest are lurking outside. Clueless attacking. For all the "flair players" that Chelsea has, this team can't pull a string of good passes together to unlock defences. They can't even beat players reliably (except Hazard and maybe Moses).

Costa is a walking timebomb. Guy can't decide if his playstyle is like Suarez or Drogba. Instead he does a shit version of either, with the added risk of a red card coming.

Our midfield pairing of Matic and Kante were suppose to dominate the midfield. All I saw was them often passing the ball away. Kante makes me wonder why we sold Ramires (Kante's still decent though). Matic could be replaced with a dustbin. I really miss the days of Makelele Lampard Ballack/Essien. We just bully our way into the win. Now we look so fragile.

Ivanovic still hasn't remembered how to defend. Dave is brilliant defensively, but he is nothing offensively at either flanks. When is Ola Aina going to get a run of games? If he isn't getting a chance when Ivanovic is shit, he is never going to feature for Chelsea.

Batshuayi though looks good so far. I would like Moses to be given more opportunities too. Fuck Pedro, guy gets so many games but produces nothing. I found Cuadrado poor in his few appearances for Chelsea back then, but I wouldn't mind trying him out again. Anyone but Pedro.

Oh we have an Oscar in our team?

I do think that the market is pretty boring overall, not many ultra top tier players for sale bar Pogba, i dont even know if Griezzman os up for sale, doubt it.

But besides that, theres not many team changing players in the market this season, i guess thqts a reason for RM not buying many players... I cant really think of players that could go and take a start 11 pos from any rm player right now.

This is what I said 2 months ago. Money lost its power a lot. All big teams are capable to keep own players. Such thing never happened 10 yrs ago.

We started looking way better when Batshuayi came in, took us 20 minutes of playing with two strikers up front to score two goals. I think 4-4-2 suits us much better than having one man up front.

Fabregas also a good sub.

Enes Unal just scored a hattrick with 3 beautiful goals in 20 minutes.

Dresden eliminates Leipzig in penalties after recovering from a 0-2 deficit, hah.

And they actually threw a real chopped off bulls head. Thats a bit sick if you ask me. :o

Some really close matches in pokal and penalty shootouts.
Too bad that most of the time the favourites still won in the end.
