    The youth aspect is obviously important, but you can't say after 25 years of SAF that exciting, attacking football isn't a major cornerstone of your club. It's not just that you guys aren't doing a good job of attacking, you're clearly being coached to be conservative first, everything else second.

    Also, my cat could manage Bayern Munich to a league title, and he's an idiot even by cat standards.
    It IS a cornerstone, ever since the Busby era. And there's no doubt we are playing safety first; I believe a huge part of that was the Leicester match last year which ended 5-3 in their favour.

    LVG had to rebuild Bayern, so your cat probably couldn't do that from where LVG started. He, once again, laid the foundations for the Bayern of today. Just about every Bayern fan knows they owe a lot of their current success to LVG. And the only reason he hasn't had personal honours is because he took the Netherlands job after his stint with Bayern.

      The problem here Leon, is that you are bringing logic and reasoning into a conversation with a person requiring neither.

      I understand the logic and reasoning behind what LVG is doing, I just don't care. The sheer amount of crap United fans have given Chelsea fans over the last decade, specifically because of the way we often played, and now you guys are playing exactly that way.

          Perhaps you're just parking them in a different spot on the field?

          I don't know. No games this weekend, so you two keep having at it.

            Anyone remember the classic Lee Bowyer and Kieran Dyer fight when Newcastle faced Villa in 2005?

              I do, I even remember the scuffle between Graham Le Saux and David Batty in the Champion's League back in 1995.

                    Long as it's top class bantz like Terry over here.

                      Of course he is. He's on my fantasy team and I'm out of transfers until December.

                        Robbie Savage being a monumental douche hat is something all humans can come together and agree on

                            I have to sit one of the following in the midday games today:

                            Pedro
                            Albrighton
                            Mahrez
                            Wijnaldum
                            Mane

                            As it stands, I have Pedro sitting but he's in the Chelsea lineup. Any thoughts on making a change to that? The only one I won't sit is Mahrez.

                            Edit: Mane is on the bench. I'll sit him.

                              Mangala looks like this is his first time ever playing center back. Not the most ideal half for him.

                                Beat City 4-1 at their place and Sterling was invisible.
