nasri has been really, really good this season

quite a surprise

[NickA]

nasri has been really, really good this season

well, yes.... until I put him in my team....

[ChiangMai noon]

not scoring fantasy points doesn't mean they are not playing well

look at all those defensive midfielders that never pick up more than a couple a game

flawed scoring system

[NickA]

you need to start living in the real world

[cyrille]

Lescott and Richards certainly didn't do anything to worry Mancs first choice defenders last night.

Rather than whinging about not being given a fair chance they should concentrate on getting the basics of defending correct.

And Man U were as shambolic as ever. They can't even pass the ball to each other anymore. Does anyone really still think Rooney is worth that extra 3 million more than the likes of Lukaku and Remy?

i read your comments before seeing the results and assumed they had both lost

what a disappointment


big captaincy decision to be made this week
i haven't a clue who to plump for
might well be a coin toss

They did their best to do so but Bayern got too cool for school and relaxed, and a typically scruffy Jones goal saved Utd.

It was surprising that City didn't bring on Aguero with them only needing one more goal to top the group. Milner let slip that it was because the City brains trust thought they needed two more goals rather than one.

Typical N. English candour that - I can't imagine the likes of Silva saying, basically, 'yeah the boss fucked up.'

The captaincy decision this week is interesting, eh? Not just straightforward 'Suarez or Aguero?'.

I still feels that, as at Albion, you really never know what you're going to get from Lukaku, and the same is true of Remy.

4 way toss up at the moment

lukaku
hazard
aguerro
suarez


very difficult to not go with suarez but liverpool's away form isn't up to much
lukaku is so in and out of games
everton don't pick up on his runs often enough for me to have faith in him

don't know

[cyrille]

everton don't pick up on his runs often enough for me to have faith in him

yep. plus everton's midfield doesn't quite have the quality to maintain pressure high up.

and he can be quite predictable and is getting worked out by the better defenders. he's often looking to break right and cut it in onto his left. townsend is the same but worse. lukaku has a load of promise of course - just saying that at his age he's not the finished article. curtis did a terrific job on him for hull by not getting too tight to him.

that's why i swapped him for remy about a month ago. he could still prove me disastrously wrong, needless to say.

[NickA]

can you really do anything other than captain suarez?

every time i've seen curtis davies this season he's looked like a top top defender

can you really do anything other than captain suarez?

i think so, yes

if liverpool were at home, i'd have no hesitation

the one time i captained lukaku this year, he got 2 goals and an assist against newcastle .... 34 lovely points

[NickA]

Suarez still averages 6 pts away from home, lukaku has only come up with the big points twice so far this season

would be a risk

aguerro at home would be the best bet, but it's against arsenal

[NickA]

without suarez as captain, some weeks I'd have scored virtually nothing

he's been getting 30 or more out of a total of 50 odd

[NickA]

btw....what you doing for christmas and how are the little ones?

and explain why google+ is ok while facebook isn't?

basically the same thing, init?

[ChiangMai noon]

might be going up to visit plwch again

kids are fine thanks, especially the new one

google+ is only used to upload pictures for my mum ...i'm not sure what else it does
facebook is wrong

[NickA]

google+ is only used to upload pictures for my mum

what do you think happens on facebook?

[NickA]

btw... if you only want to upload pictures for certain people to see you're better off using picasa or another picture upload site and set it to private

when I joined google+ it automatically added you to my list just because your email was in my contacts

so basically, anyone who you've ever emailed will be able to see them

it's all terribly confusing and very good reason to go nowhere near social networking sites of any kind

[cyrille]

He was very good for us and we managed to wring some daft amount of money from villa for him when villa could still afford to pay daft amounts of money.

Capello saw great things in him but then he had a wretched run of injuries, didn't he.

If he played for a London club he'd be talked about as a prospect for Brazil.

He totally did a job on Lukaku.

[cyrille]

can you really do anything other than captain suarez?

Absolutely.

He'll return 1 point x2 some game soon.

They all do, no?

[cyrille]

Suarez still averages 6 pts away from home

It's not really a game of averages though, is it?

[cyrille]

Captaincy, I mean.

[NickA]

nope, it isn't

sometimes you can get lucky, sometimes unlucky

but sometimes you're just better sticking with the man in form and not looking at "tough" or "easy" fixtures to work out who will do best

I will be deciding on saturday morning at 11.29am

[ChiangMai noon]

suarez will be without gerrard's supply for a month...that's a negative

on the other hand, suarez will now be taking the penalties
???

[Jimmy McNulty]

Suarez or Sturridge apparently.
