With Gouffran running around anywhere it's effectively a 4411. It's made for Cabella to come on and destroy O'Shea.

Kind of game Cisse comes on and gets two.

You sneaky fuck!

The Mockingjay.

For some wierd reason Pardew often gives scatty roles to players.

This thread is actually a testament to the idiocy ingrained in the English game. If you want to play Hatem then you need two shuttling DM's (which we play every game anyway, sometimes three with Gouff spending the whole game in our half). The 2 DM's cover the full backs rather than the wide midfielder. When one DM goes out wide to cover then the other moves into the center and so on...I would also argue that Hazard has become less effective under Mourinho, his attacking stats have really dropped off over the last year or so. Blokes knackered running back. The whole of last year Chelsea had real trouble scoring goals often against much weaker sides. <------------Tiote..........Abeid-----------> .........................Ginge.........................

It;s more the system that is ingrained through all levels of the German setup plus the huge leap in technique in the new generation of German players. This 'hard work' stuff is just bollock we're fed in Eng. Withough skill and tactical overview 'hard work' get you nowhere.

Think it's the quality of the squad worth 250m non?

I doubt Bruce and Pardew would get a job in any other European country. Hatem has told them both to 'go fuck themselves' and rightly so.

All this 'hard work' has really seen England fly high in international competition.

Mou is a very defensive coach these days. 9 behind the ball when they played Man C. It might win things but most of the time it ain't pretty nor is the antics of his players.

Mata is a better comparison. Hazard is much more athletic than Hatem or Mata.

How has this happened on my watch?

My god they just got back and they look tired and freaked at the same time. Shocking. This is PTSD stuff.

I blame TT.

We have a massive tree and two lots of presents cause they celebrate a day earlier here.

You need to reign this shit in Gem.

I'll have to double my illicit cheese feeding to compensate.

Couldn't face going to the vets. Sent MrsP instead. Cats will be back tonight.

Doesn't need saying does it.

Perez scored too many goals, he'll never play as a striker again.

The financial sector will only do what the Govt legislate for and can get away with. Gordon Brown was the main culprit here.

Theyre getting the snip tomorrow. Must admit I feel a bit bad about it.

Ugliest looking Spurs side in living memory?
