    Hi Trizia,

    Have to completely disagree with the comments on Luiz. I think he could turn out to be a great midfielder but i dont like the way he tries to defend from the front everytime! For the goal he took off like a 5 year old in the playground after the ball. JT and Brana were then stuck in two minds as to who to mark!

    • Trizia

      I think he is a different type of defender than that we are used to – and we need to get used to that – as do the other defenders – its a more European style – which I think is where football is moving.

      There is a reason that Barca as so eager to sign him….

    Thanks for hitting the nail on the head and burying it with Mikel & Luiz. You just echoed my perception of the people who have no understanding of the CDM position in football. Although, what I would like is for us to start Mikel along with someone more fluid than Ramires, probably MVG, KDB or even Oscar. I was hoping for that to happen before the season started and am quite surprised until now that it hasn’t.

    Ohh.. And the Luiz critics like to come out of their holes every time we concede and blame it on him. Where were you when he stuffed RVP into his pocket at Old Trafford? Where were you when he nullified Mandzukic in the super cup? You luiz haters should stop listening to jamie redknapp.

    Mourinho has many great managerial talents and one of them is his understanding that football involves real human relationships.

    He knows Lukaku is currently in a straight fight with Christian Bendteke and probably Kevin Mirallas for the Belgian striking position in a World Cup selection year. I see it as act of honesty and decency to not mess Lukaku about if he thinks Eto’o or Torres have more of his favour.

    If January comes and Lukaku’s WC spot is in further jeopardy because Eto’o or Torres or Ba are banging them, he won’t thank Mourinho for keeping him here. Especially if Bendteke and Mirallas are scoring left, right and centre.

    The time to make a judgment will be at the end of the season. For now, the reasoning is self-evident whether it’s palatable or not.

    And I’ll continue to say this until people hear and understand. We didn’t have a problem scoring goals last season, we had a problem conceding them. We scored more goals than City, whose striking options are the stuff of our dreams, but our goals against column was enough to make catching them and Utd seem like waiting for the tooth fairy by the New Year.

    The most important thing Jose can do is to not be fooled that our striking department is the key issue.

    Forget about Lukaku going on loan , why on earth did Chelsea sell Sturridge? An already proven scorer while on loan and now look at him.

  • Bob

    Yes, keep the faith with Jose and our strikers to score goals, we can only hope. So was Eto CFC’s Plan B or C,after failing to get Rooney? To you Michael Emenalo, you should know better, ManU will never sell Rooney to Chelsea. Instead you went for more and more attacking midfielders and not strikers who get you the vital goals and win games.How about buying players and loaning them out eternally,and like Courtois a top keeper,he may not want to come back.Emenalo and your mob, you are destroying our beloved club.

  • It’s good and proper to let off steam about a defeat. Don’t forget that we scored almost 150 goals last season, so we have scorers throughout the team. Admittedly Ba and Torres are nothing to write home about. Eto’o has been prolific wherever he has gone, so he can and will net twenty this season. It is however galling that Lukaku, Moses, and Sturridge look set to flourish on Merseyside while we flap around for weeks, trying to find our ideal attacking combination.

    Personally, I’m tired of moaning about this and that. This year I just want to watch good football by quality players, both of which Chelsea can provide. I think the team needs some time to gel. Jose knows what he’s doing, RA and us as fans need to learn patience. Watching Jose’s Real Madrid team play last year was beautiful. They were powerful, pacey, in sync and technical. It will happen at Chelsea too.
    I see through Roberto Martinez, overrated and a Sir Alex lackey, his teams show up against Chelsea like a Cup Final and flake out v United. That fact that his team was relegated but he managed to sneak back into the PL is laughable. Then, they beat us. Ha, ha.
