This is a disastrous injury. An injury to him, Toure or Silva was what I feared most after Aguero's injury
We could and should have been 2 up before Chelsea scored. Getting that first goal was vitalMillwallawayveteran1988 said:Cobwebcat said:4 weeks on OS awwww shit......no Aguero Nasri or Fernandinho.....we will be out of the FA Cup and the CL before they are back at this rate.
Could well be. I can't see how we will beat Barca playing these tactics and Chelsea were much the better team so we need to improve 50% to beat them in the cup.
Not good.
Negredo, and Milner will hopefully be fit for the Chelsea Cup game and I thought Jovetic did well
Navas was destroying Chelsea. For some reason we just stopped giving him the ball for a half an hour spell after they scored
The Champions League and FA Cup are very difficult now that we have these injuries. But I would still back us to win the League Cup and League
Not a good time to have so many key players injured. A look at the bench tonight shows we are running low.
Saying that, the next set of PL fixtures up until the we play them and then Arsenal at the end of march couldn't be better if we'd hand picked them.
Yes we may come up short in the CL and FA Cup, but if that means we get the benefit for the end of season games with everyone back fit I'll take it. I want the title more than anything this season.

Porto held all the cards, they know we needed a midfielder so yes they took the piss which is how supply and demand works. Now we can be principled all we want but as today showed Fernan being out fucked us as a team and fucked the way Pelle wants us to play. There are times to walk away and there are times to take it up the arse and pay. Fernnado was one of those moments and I just pray Fernan isn't out long or Barca is going to be embarrassing.
You get your hand in your pocket then, it is very easy to just shout "spend"
Also MD did a decent job considering, so no your wrong and i disagree totally.
No he didn't the game passed him by yet again. He dives in, misses the ball and thus gives the back 4 an unnecessary headache. He just doesn't have the mobility and doesn't read the game well enough to be a DM and you will soon realise that since Fernan is out for 4 weeks.
MDM won more tackles than any other player on the park.<br /><br />-- Mon Feb 03, 2014 11:22 pm --<br /><br />Fern out for four weeks is a huge blow.
When I heard Fernandinho was out I was gutted and feared the worst, but he played wellOB1 said:RandomJ said:TCIB said:You get your hand in your pocket then, it is very easy to just shout "spend"

It was our attacking players who had an off day. Instead of the free-flowing football we started to go long when we should have kept on giving easy balls to Navas. Run at their midfield, force the defender to come out to you, and then slip Navas in. We just lost the normal pattern and flow to our game. I don't think it was down to Chelsea. I just thought the occasion and pressure of going a goal down got to our players, and it didn't help missing a lot of key players. Would be wrong to focus just on Demichelis

I don't know where we go with midfield from here. Garcia and Demichelis are defensive midfielders and can't do the job in a 2 man midfield, MP clearly doesn't rate Rodwell, so that leaves Milner. Will a midfield 2 of Yaya and Milner striker fear into other teams? Im not sure
