winchester_royal 2 outrageously clever and composed assists. Already paid back the 300k. Shame on all who doubted Brian and Nicky.

JordCot Let's get things into perspective,for almost that whole first half chelsea looked nothing special. This system is working and I see no reason to start akpan YET. He has only played about 30mins of prem football lets not chuck him in the deep end with a start

2 world wars, 1 world cupRoyal Ginger Lovely tackle in their box. Nothing came of it but he was suddenly stood there with it. He's a big unit.
Yes I saw that. Turned a developing counter attack from Chelsea on its head and could've been number 3. (or our first). Alfie's shot was just a yard out.
Akpan is a frikking legend.

Z175 I think its harsh to judge the original 3 midfielders as they were faced with composed passing from a team looking worthy European champions

PieEater I thought Legs played well last night, the problem was after winning tackles there was nobody to pass to so he invariably lost it. Karacan and Guthrie were pretty anonymous so few apparent mistakes or misplaced passes compared to Ledge.
I'd drop Karacan for Akpan in the Hope that Guthrie can regain some form by playing as he's the most talented midfielder we have.

winchester_royal Lets be honest, last night Karacan did what he always does. F*ck all apart from acting like a terrier in the park chasing a tennis ball.
Does a job but he isn't now, nor will he ever be, a premiership quality midfielder. Akpan did more in 30 minutes than Karacan has done in half a season.

thought guthries petulant tantrum towards ledge last night just before the first goal was bang out of order
ledge stuck his foot in for a tackle on the edge of his own area, won the ball but since it was a tackle it didnt go directly to danny, who turned waved his arms and shouted at him for not making a tackle into an inch perfect pass , while the ball ran to a chelsea player who then had time to look up, and play a pass which ended up in a goal.
if danny had shut the oxf*rd up and closed him down like he should have we could have been 0-0 at half time
