  1. Defoe, Crouch, Zaki, Ronaldo, Van Persie, Torres, Bent, Anelka. best strikers in the league. ‘

    I cant wait til Torres is back and he can set the league on fire.

  2. Altidore and Cooper up top with Dempsey/Donovan on the wings and Bradley/Kljestan playing holding midfielder. But what about Adu or Beasley? Beasley is great but he’s too injured and Adu has alot of talent but cant even be a sub for Monaco.

  3. What a win by the Arse, even if goal 1 was offsides. Stamford Bridge is officially no longer a fortress, with 2 home losses on the season now after none for a staggering period of time.

    I wish Van Persie could stay healthy, it was great to see him show his talent in a huge game. Injuries are so key, it’s amazing how thin even teams like Chelsea, Man U, and Arsenal look after a couple of guys are out.

    But the real lesson of the game is don’t talk trash to your opponents in the press leading up to big matches! That goes for you too, Geovanni…

  4. Jozy out in the 78th, good to see him get some quality time. He was subbed off for a midfielder in a game they were winning 2-0, no surprise there.

  5. Betinho, That would probably be best. I dont think Freddy will start though. What’ll probably happen is Sacha and Bradley in the middle, Dempsey and Beez on the wings, then Landon and Jozy up top. We could also see Jozy and Cooper up top Donovan right behind them, Dempsey and Beez on the wings, and bradley right behind Landon.

  6. Isaac, I like that but I would like a more natural finisher paired with Jozy. I’m a huge Deuce fan but I really like him more on the outside running at people. Landon and Cooper seem to have better touch when it counts.

    I’d try same players but Landon up top, Deuce on the right and Freddy behind Jozy and Landon…Tomayto – Tomahto

  7. Betinho,

    we should try Jozy and Dempsey up top again. Dempsey is plenty creative and can take pressure himself. Freddy can take his spot on the right, Beasley on the left Donovan right behind Jozy and Deuce, and Bradley behind Landon.

  8. Jozy is playing great. Ok it’s against the worst team in La Liga but hopefully with performances like this he will be able to get more playing time against the better teams.

    I’m fine with him not being loaned – if that’s the case. He’s developing fine IMO.

    He’s playing well in combo with Rossi (I will resist whining here). there’s no question he’s our (USA) number one striker. He seems most effective with a partner up top – not as a single striker. BB needs to find who to pair with him – Landon, Coop, etc..IMO it needs to be someone creative not a target guy (I love you Chingy but time to become a super sub).

  9. So i read some where in the internet that if Jozy played this game he wasn’t going to be able to be loaned during the transfer window. Could some please tell me if its true?

  10. Jozy is too strong for the La Liga defenders! He just fought of two defenders in the center of the box and laid it off to (it’s in spanish so i don’t know who) a wide open teammate who fired into side netting.

  11. Jozy is starting and was fed nicely on ar un down the right side. He took a nice touch into the box and had it blocked. showed nice speed and strength.

  12. Chelsea – Arsenal lineups

    Chelsea:

    Cech, Boswinga, Ivanovic, Terry, Cole, Mikel, Deco, Ballack, Lampard, Kalou, Anelka

    Arsenal:

    Almunia, Sagna, Gallas, Djourou, Clichy, Denilson, Fabregas, Nasri, Song Billong, Van Persie, Adebayor

  13. “Sir Alex’s men controlled the game from start to finish, proving class and ability on the pitch counts for far more than wealth and ambition off it.”

  14. Guys make sure you dont post any news about any of the matches today because somebody might be recording one and we wouldn’t want to upset them. hahaha

  15. despite him being a great player i just cant respect ronaldo and i dont like watching him. i love the way united plays but i’d rather watch liverpool, arsenal, chelsea, barca, madrid etc…

  16. Manchester United are a goal up and a man down with about 4 minutes plus stoppage time to go. Rooney got a tap in goal back in the first half, though Park did a lot of the work to keep the ball on that play. Ronaldo got sent off for a second yellow on a really odd play where he jumped up for a ball on a corner, and just put his hands in front of his face to stop the ball.

    3 goals in the Napoli-Inter game, with Inter scoring twice before Napoli ewualized 9 minutes from half time, a backheel which was taken by Lavezzi who chipped the keeper. Inter deserves the lead, and it’s in the 65th minute right now.
