Didn't see all matches and not all of the Bayern match but Alonso did fade in the second half of last season. Costa seems like a great buy though. He's doing really well.

Oops Chelsea, I already had the feeling last season that it was all stretched to the limit. Everyone is a bit of the pace right now. Wonder how Mourinho will deal with it.

Liverpool need a manager of the calibre of Ancelotti, a top coach with experience but I'm afraid that's not really going to happen. The problem with Rodgers is to me that it's hard to see where his true strong points are. His tactics are questionable a lot of times, as is his man management and those are 2 massively important traits for a top manager.

And I'm delighted for Vermaelen. He's a very good defender and scores once in a while, scored 8 goals in his first season at Arsenal. The fact that he captained Ajax and Arsenal is not a coincidence. He is just very injury prone and that massively hindered his career.

That's sad, because LFC (with new owners) do have the money, and the club is the most stable it has been in a long time, even before Rafa, and I think after their experiment with Rodgers, they'll definitely go back to their initial idea of a DOF. I know Ancelotti would be a stretch, but I'd spring for a coach who even liked Europa league football at this moment, to be honest. Rodgers thinks that he's too good for Europa, and he has yet to get out of the group stages!

I do think that he's a decent academy friendly coach in the line of say, Tim Sherwood, in that Rodgers is not afraid to give youth a chance, and if there's a cock up (like Gomez did yesterday), he'll throw it ( ... )

Müller on why he let Robben take the second penalty:

"Der FC Bayern ist wie ein Haifischbecken. Da muss man den Haien eben auch ab und zu einen Fisch hinwerfen"

(Bayern Munich is like a shark tank. Now and then you have to throw the sharks a fish.)

That man...

Malaga got Verminated. Seriously though, I'm so happy for Verma. Out on the sidelines for a year and what he does he do when he comes back? Runs forward, scores a goal and saves Barca's ass. More goals this season than Messi at this point, heh. I hope all those idiot Culés have shut up about him because when he's on form, he's amazing. Great captain, true gentleman and perfect cheekbones (come back, Verma).

I didn't watch the Arsenal match but "off the boil" is an accurate description for how we're playing right now. There's no energy and our finishing is bad. We've had 81 shots so far this season but only 1 goal (our top scorer is Own Goal). But I hear the match was one sided, we were denied a clear penalty and Mitrovic's foul on Coq was definitely a straight red. Still, 3 points are 3 points and Petr kept a clean sheet. I won't complain.

Are West Ham going to be the new Sunderland or what? Beat all the top teams, play like shit against everyone else?

Someone fill me in on this Claudio Pizzaro and why is he waving and holding a ( ... )
