luck

essien has never been much of long range shooter

Hesk's new sig is outstanding.

That goal against us was all skill, but his one against Barcelona was a hit and hope. Deal with it. The shot he took against us was the best option for him to take as we didn't close him down, and he had a lot of space to build up momentum into the shot. Against Barcelona, he miscontrolled the ball (like Traore) and literally had no choice left but to swing his left foot erratically at the ball, lest he lose possession. So he did that, and by chance the ball went into the top corner. It was a complete fluke. If you can't see that, then I'm afraid you don't understand football.

How do you miscontrol a ball when your first touch is the shot?

Do you know anything?

Okay, sorry, Lampard gave him a rubbish pass, but the point remains the same. He wouldn't score that goal again if he had a thousand retakes of it.

Wish I had paid more attention to the first half of Dortmund/Freiburg, because it feels the game has been stifled out since the second half. More emphasis on showing why Lewandowski will be much greatly missed.

Wolves are seriously fucked.

The bottom of the Championship is absolutely insane. Hope Peterborough stay up.

Nuri Sahin wrecking up Freiburg. Fantastic player when he is in his natural position.

We're three points off and seriously in shit. We've only scored in six of last seven and that was against Peterborough at home.

T'Clasico against Burnley has never meant more. We lose against them tomorrow we're looking up against it with our remaining games, away games especially. If we win we go 11th though, mad league!
