Why is RA forcing Emenalo on Lotti?

Looks like Lotti is more interested in working with Paul Clement. That's why we had Clement on the bench today doing all the shouting and waving whilst Emenalo was just sitting down.

And BTW, why would Emenalo be Head Opposition Scout and Assistant Manager at the same time? Surely he should spend his weekends scouting our next opposition if he is really the Head Opposition Scout.

Of course he is chief opposition scout. Carlo has chosen to work with Clement because he is the closest thing to a coach that we have. Someone needs to tell RA that this is not sibneft. FCs are different from mega corpration where you find a ton of highly skilled personnel with a life time of experience that can do a certain job.

It took us 3 years to get back to where we were last year after hiring and firing for years. We won the title and FA Cup. What we needed to do is build on it. We made a massive mistake in the transfer window by letting Ballack, Deco, Belletti, Joe and Carvalho all leave at the same time. Accepted Joe and Carvalho wanted to leave but we could have kept Deco, Ballack and Belletti because right now, I could do with Deco and Ballack in the team.

We've however let them all go and replaced them with Benayoun, Ramires and 3 years youngsters we have refused to field.

Now we have fired Wilkins for no apparent reason and we expect the spirit to be positive when the manager himself is grumbling.

RA, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. First rule of running a football club.

OMO IBO:
I like daniel sturridge. Admittedly he has not performed for us. Like every other striker he thrives on confidence. Confidence will come if he's thrown at the deep end. We have nothing to lose now since we are dropping points like no mans business

Ibime likes him as well. I haven't seen why. To me, he lacks the basic attributes of a striker.
He doesn't play with his back on goal, he is not very mobile with the ball, he is not a poacher and he is not a good passer.

Fabio Borini sh.its on him any day but guess what? Borini has refused to sign a contract, he is in his last year and may be leaving on a free.

OMO IBO:
aswerigad, Ancelotti has no reason not to start with the kids in subsequent matches.

I support you. Well, except Daniel Sturridge. That dude really needs to convince me.

2 losses in a row. The performance was better.
On another day, Drogba and Kalou could have had hat-tricks.
Essien is back next week. Terry is back next week as well.
Lampard is back in two weeks.
If we are not 6 points behind United then, perhaps we can pick up some confidence and go on a run.

Look on the good side people, we are still on top of the table.  

OMO IBO:
I've been stuck in traffic for the last one million years of my life.
I'm p!ssed off. The comments I'm reading here are not helping one bit.

Did someone say Ray Wilkins is on the othr line??

Yes he is. If you can get him, tell him we need him here ASAP.

Hilarious stuff. 4 defeats and we are not in December yet.

We need that goal now.

cabali:
We aren't EPL champions

Has the FA revoked our title? I didn't hear that.

We are throwing this away and I can't bear it.

FBS:
Red Cards flying around today in the EPL.  

Who else?

We have to win this guys.
Foster again.

Kalou Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Kalou.

Wigan have 2 men sent off.
Utd will win that.

FBS:
Ok. NOted.

Ha! I was praying you don't come back with a counter.  
I don tire.

Bosingwa coming on.

FBS:
My friend, I say cut that nonsense. Did you not see me say nearly the same thing a few weeks ago about how impressive it was to watch Nic chase the ball down to the line? Funny enough, you were the same person who said that you never saw it. Strange that you are only seeing this today.

No he should not be excused but how does that help us by focusing on that? Pray tell me.

I don't criticise players for the fun of it. I hardly do so (maybe with the exception of Ramirez sha)  

Dude did you follow the history of the posts?
Somone said Anelka has been hopeless and wondered why I said "Well done Anelka". I then explained what I meant saying Drogba and Kalou were strolling.

Now how does that equate to critising for the fun of it. . ?

The goal is coming.

FBS:
Accepted but is that the first time you see him act like that?
Why make an issue out of it?

CAn you imagine this? DD's bullsh.it should be excused because it's not the first time we've seen it. I'll wait till you criticise another player.

Nice play Mikel.

FBS:
What rubbish are you typing? Did you not see this? What do you mean no one said a word about DD's passes?

I can't fault DD or the team much in the first half. Be objective please.

Egbon, e ka post dada ke to pe ni rubbish.
I said not a single post has said anything about DD reaction after losing a pass . . not the pass itself.

cabali:
So it is concluded that we cannot really make sense out of a match we dont have Lampard in?

Which is very shameful. WE have built the success of the team around only a few players. They don't play, we don't play well.

denzel2009:
He is hopeless.I dont know the well done you are giving him.

Cut that dude. I gave him a well done for chasing the opposition keeper for 20 yards in a bid to win the ball and won a throw in the process, when he could have strolled like Drogba and Kalou have been doing.

Have you watched when Drogba tries to pass and loses it? He throws his arms up in the air like it was someone else's fault. However, not a single post has talked about that. People on here think as long as he scores or tries to score, everything else is inconsequentiial. . Yet these tiny bits add up to our shabby performance.

FBS:
I dont know what you expect DD to do? chase the ball up and down?
If not for the keeper and woodwork, he could have bagged at least 2 in the first half.

3 added mins.

Coulda but didn't. It's not what you do in some few minutes. It's your attitude over the 90mins.

BlueDiva:
I'm so frustrated with this game.
Maybe i should watch United or N'castle.

Don't say things like these. You give the impression that you only watch when we are winning.

Well done Anelka. Nice hustle. Drogba and Kalou are just strolling.

Oh! My God. How did those not go in?

ANother free header.

What a save!

Ibime:
I no dey watch again.

Bazztards! Especially Alex and Mikel

Someone should tell DD he's got the link up play of a Championship footballer. Tell that nucca to stay in the box and stop forming Maradona

You wey go come shout goal now when we score finish.

Na wa oooo.

FBS:
Mikel get vision no be small. Brilliant pass.

Saw that as well.
