I don't even know what could've solved the Chelsea problem really. To be honest, we're having the Barcelona problem were people are just going out, putting 10 men behind the ball and hitting us hard on a counter.

The problem is you bought (more) midfielders when you needed a proven goal scorer up front and a defender or two. You have a defender that doesn't play like a defender (sideshow Bob) and about 1000 midfielders. I didn't see the game last night but I bet Luiz was responsible for at least one of the goals.

Oh and why do the Beeb always refer to Torres as the 50m signing. He has been there ages now.

I bet Rafa is loving it. Great win for his new side last night as well.

You're all being awfully unkind to Chelsea. I thought it was great to see them make such a good start to their defence of their Europa League crown.

This. 30m on Willan and then send Lukaku out on loan again. And here's the thing, their key transfer target was just about the most midfield-minded striker in the country (which is why poor Kagawa can't get a game). If Chelsea wanted a striker from United, they'd have been better off going for Hernandez with their current set-up; and they might even have got him.

How much in bribes did each Uefa vote cost I wonder?

Australia asked FIFA for compensation for their bid if it was moved to winter the other day.

He looks like an absolute beast. Why none of the "bigger" clubs went for him I don't know. Willian, who?

Fair play Swansea but again have to say I hate the beebs lazy lazy reporting!!!!

The hosts and visitors went into the clash with mirror-image domestic records of played four, lost three and won one, but that is where the comparisons ended (Valencia V Swansea)

So did they win or lose on Monday? I forget :(

LFC had been chasing Eriksen for two years but he wouldn't come 'cause we weren't in the CL.

I personally didn't think just because Jose came back we would be instantly great, it is just delusional to have such a view...it'll take time to rebuild the team properly and at the moment it seems like he is testing players.

While I agree, it still strikes me as worrying that it feels like there is a like of desire in the team whenever I've watched us this season. The first half of the first game was magnificent and since then we've just looked totally devoid of ideas.

Is Jose trolling the press by talking as much like Borat as possible?

This, I don't know how we can look less creative based on the players we've added this summer, come back big Romelu we need you :(
