Chelsea v Everton. 22nd Feb at 12.45.

[Furey1878]

And do you remember how disappointing it was finishing 4th that year?

4th ffs!

Well 7th, 17th, 4th, 11th, 6th, 5th, 5th, 8th, 7th, 7th and 6th.

 

[Furey1878]

At least this way he can't bring Osman on and make us all fume around 60 minutes, right?

See.

He's a tactical mastermind is our Bobby.

 

[IRO1977]

Mourhinho showing us plenty of respect here, playing pretty much his strongest side at home with a big European game coming up

 

[SteKelly]

Is Barkley not as good as we all thought then?

Obviously you're taking the mick here.

The last thing you want to do IMO is throw them in week in week out.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Is Barkley not as good as we all thought then?

He is but he's lacking match fitness and hasn't been in good form since November. He's only a kid and is under way too much pressure.

 

[royalblue66]

Poor Ossie.

 

[NilSatis1878]

He's dreadful pretty much every time he starts and today will be no different.

Nope, I'm afraid you're wrong..
Here's a good question,
Do you think Martinez is a great manager?

If the answer is yes, like it should be..
Then why does a great manager start a dreadful player and bring him on game after game..
He adds things to the game that you're clearly not looking out for..

I'm also someone who kicks off at him from time to time when he has a lifeless shot or does something stupid but you just can't deny that he obviously offers Martinez a lot in terms of how he wants the team to play that we/you are unaware of

 

[Baines' left foot]

On another note our bench looks frigging awesome.

 

[chicoazul]

was it a multi?

i thought he might have been banned for his language.

Pah I miss that then.

 

[toffeejack]

lampard has a great record vs us - but we need to target him as the weak link.

Playing devils advocate a little maybe - Just feels like if he's even half as good as the media tells us he is - then he'd be the first name on the teamsheet every week.

If he can't dislodge Osman from the first team, I don't know how bright his star is going to shine in the future - He's not a 16 year old kid - He's an adult, professional footballer

 

[EFC David]

First time this season I'd take a point before the game.

No, he really is gash when he starts. He's best coming off bench.

Do I think Martinez is a great manager ? Dunno yet, way too early to say. I'm not about to start blindly following his selections though given his points haul at the moment is near identical to what moves had last season.

 

[NilSatis1878]

This lid is banned? Monsters.

Who's multi was it?

I called someone a name who was being really negative and spreading bad vibes...
I'm not going to tell you his name but it's similar to Dave-kay

He's already dislodged him from it, several times.

If you've been watching us this season, you know just how good Barkley is and can go on to be.

Don't knee jerk because he doesn't start every game.
