but it's great to have the results in our favour over the weekend as both chelski and the noisy neighbours dropped points.  |
Bro, our lineup is so attacking minded until there is no need to defend
. I must say though the goals conceded this season are hard to swallow as some are from comical errors and simple mistakes such as leaving ur man unmarked.
I was quite delighted to see that the old man started with my favourite cleverley in midfield with Carrick as god knows what would happen if he had started the Arsenal game with Scholes
. I figure out that the champions league match this wednesday night away to braga would feature the same lineup as the one that played Chelsea in the Capitol One Cup!!! With that being said, Chris Smalling should be back in the first team this week right???
