Oh my god !

Although Luna has made a couple of mistakes he has also made some very good defensive moves/tackles.

A big problem is we don't really have anything going through the middle, if you watch from our goal kicks they go out to the left wing towards Benteke, Gabby has been running over to the right but Weimann has also stayed on the right hand side. I have no problem with Benteke being slightly out wide and cutting in but we need somebody in the middle of our attack.

Benteke has been out on the left wing most of the time, I think we should put Kozak on for Weimann and switch Gabby to the right. KEA for Sylla too.

We may as well try and throw Kozak on with Benteke up front tbh

Fantastic.. I'm calling a 2-0 or 3-0 win for them now, without Okore's pace we're going to be buggered at the back.

Hope Jores isn't injured, he is vital against the pace of Remy.

How was that a foul on Mbiwa? I'm confused

KEA

Hope Benteke is on the ball today! Come onnnn

That clearing in the woods just admitted that he got the Ciaran Clark on Ashley Young 'foul' wrong, it wasn't a penalty and Young should've been booked for simulation.

Coloccini and Mbiwa could be a good partnership, Mbiwa is pretty quick so I'd assume he'll be the one marking Benteke primarily with Coloccini assisting when needed. Throwing Kozak into the mix from the off could either work very well or go horribly wrong, Lambert certainly has the balls to try it if he wants to. Very intrigued to see how we lineup.

Lambo has said he 'could' play Kozak and Benteke together if he wanted to. Think we may well see it happen.

Well, he's in the provisional squad for tomorrow

It's out there now.. I'm not gonna risk it, so tempting, aghhh

The amount of cars is crazy

I have noticed that Barcelona especially hold their line almost too well, as you say a chipped ball over the top and you can sprint straight through them.

It find it funny how the FA point the finger at clubs, moaning about how hard it is for players to break through in the Premier League, but I think they'll find that there are many clubs in the Premier League with young English players in abundance. There are even young English players that play for the top 6, Tom Cleverley as an example, but Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard both would/do start ahead of him even though they're into their 30's. You also have to question why players MUST be from the Premier League? Do we not have fantastic English youth systems at clubs like Middlesbrough or Sheffield United? There are also some very good English talents within the Championship and even League One, taking Lowton and Westwood as prime examples. Why does Paul Lambert's team have the ability to pick out two very good young, English players from the lower leagues but our own English FA do not? Neither player even managed to claim an Under-21 cap. The FA will always come with excuses but it is plain to see that unless you are a playing for one of the top clubs in the Premier League, odds are you won't be getting a look in.

Quite. Comparisons with a cinema aren't valid, as there they can control the number of actual people coming into their building, and charge accordingly. It's also apparent that anybody going to the ticket office at a cinema is there to view a film. With this nonsense, you'd have a system counting people in a room who could be doing anything. They'd therefore have to find a way of a) getting round the privacy issue of their system counting how many people are in a room, and then sort out all the problems listed above. It simply isn't workable on any level. I'll quite often be sat in the lounge on my laptop while the kids are watching a Disney film, would I get charged for watching a film in that scenario? And what is to stop you just turning the camera around to face the wall? Or just putting some tape across the lens

I think tomorrow in UK, came out yesterday on the US Marketplace.

It plays a lot better than the new FIFA demo.

Walk.

With Lampard and Gerrard not getting any younger you'd think it would make sense to play Carrick and Milner in the middle.

He clearly tried to play 4-4-2 against Liverpool, I think we may see it more often at home this season. Maybe with Weimann to start with on Saturday but I definitely see Kozak coming on at some point.
