Frosty reception for Goetze to say the least.

All teams will and have, with how competitive the league is these days.

Playing as a centre forward at times Wish Hummels and Ribery were playing but its still a pretty decent watch so far

Interesting how Sahin is key for Dortmund but couldnt get a game for Liverpool. Lewandowski's missed a sitter by his standards.

Aye I thought Sissoko was good today. Passing was better and he was running at people with more confidence. He still gets very confused when he gets into the box though.

Dortmund v Bayern on in a few minutes

Yup, thank God thats over. Such a complacent second half. Norwich were so poor we really should have put them away.

What the fuck are we doing? Completely gone to sleep second half. Deserve this.

Absolutely horrendous stuff from the Southampton keeper in the Arsenal game. Im struggling to remember anything near as bad as that from a keeper. Would love to know what the manager and his team mates will have to say to him after that

Good stuff that. Should be looking to get 3 or 4 here. Really glad we got the second because Norwich have looked like sneaking in a scrappy goal from somewhere a couple of times. Shola having one of his Pele days so far Tiote should be banned from shooting. Dont know who's the bigger idiot, the crowd calling for him to shoot everytime or him for doing so. To be fair though I think there was a big 'Nooooo' from the crowd the last time he got the ball in a shooting position.

Well deserved though I think he's been even better this month

Doesn't matter in this analysis as we are below the average, as illustrated in the above table.

First rule of comparison is you set off the constants. Meaning if we were the only club that paid wages, or we paid them well above other clubs, what you say might make some sense.

He's a pundit for TenSports these dyas which broadcasts CL matches in my area. The guy's mental!

Did you not read any of the previous comments?

It would only add more weight to the obvious conclusion from those figures if anything.

Yeah, Im enjoying how all the Debuchy doubters have suddenly shut up

Whoa

Thats what I was worried about.

Absolute idiot. Haidara trying to come to his rescue.

Our movement off the ball last season and for a lot of this one too has been terrible. Like you said, he's often been just handed the ball with not many options but to go for it himself. Now that our midfield seems to be gelling a bit better and with Tiote and Cabaye looking somewhere close to their best, it will be interesting to see how that affects Ben Arfa's game. Not to mention that added width and pace Remy and Gouffran have provided.

Short memories man. Difficult to remember the number of times we've just handed the ball to him and hoped he'd get us out of a sticky situation because we just didnt have any other plan, and the number of times he actually did just that. The concern is that to me he's the type of player who needs to be playing consistently to be at his best. Gouffran and Sissoko have raised their games recently and deserve their place in the side. There's no way I'd be starting someone like Shola over him though. You could argue all you like about Shola holding up the ball but he's hardly ever able to do anything with it once he does have it, and thats where his game starts and ends these days.

I'd like to give Cisse a go too but Im not sure him and Remy in the centre will ever work. Perhaps HBA and Remy on either side of him in a 433? Mind I dont think Pards is going to go with anything close to that line up.
