6th isn't bad. If my math is right, we should beat 70% of the PL teams That's enough to win the League...
-----------------------------------------------------------
show me a team that has finished 6th ever when winning 70% of their games and i show you my c-ck

I'm afraid that'll have to wait as I was joking.

2-0 up at home we should not have lost this game , Juventus are good but its a dissapointing result. There are gaps in our team that others are exploiting
...moments of absolute brilliance but unfortunately we are not always keeping our shape in mid and defence...Torres should be more cavalier.. his work rate is good but he is just not taking the bull by the horns if you pardon the expression

Mikel was awful, surely no one on here can defend that performance !! Yea Lamps aint that great anymore but Mikel is a complete liability as is Luiz. Get Cahil in far more reliable defensivly. Merieles would have been a decent option to come off the bench tonight. De Bruyne ,Essien & josh out on loan Merieles sold with no replacement BIG mistake. 3 home games twice conceded 2 , puts a lot of pressure on the forwards they aint gonna score 3 goals all the time. Passing from Mikel & Lamps aint quick or acurate enough to utalise the new speedy skillful players. Torres trys but he aint a Drogba type forward who can hold off 2/3 defenders & get a shot in, he is a finisher and not much more.

Luiz was one of our better players that match. Neither deserve the term 'liability'.

They should shut this place down for a couple of hours after matches so everyone can just calm down and stop foaming at the mouth.

Get real Luiz has no defensive responsibility trys 50 yard raking passes that give the ball away & Mikel is absolute garbage.

Luiz was great today, one of our better players.

Luiz & Mikel wouldnt last 5 mins under Jose Thier 2nd goal Mikel gives the ball away for the 1000th time then ambles around while Luiz stands there clapping instead of marking someone.Lets face it Juve made our midfield look slow & cumbersome cause thats what Mikel & Lamps are.
