    easy to dominate possession when you have two holding mids against a team who bunkers

    Baines is excellent example of a player who does just that. He times his runs on the overlap perfectly. He is not quicker than Berty, not as athletic, and not much better on the ball, and yet his approach to the game and his sense timing those opportune moments to get to the byline and whip in crosses or cut backs, puts him far ahead of Bertrand as a footballer.

    I'd take issue with this, Baines is very technically gifted.

    No problem with dominating possession. If only Chelsea can make something of it.

    What a boring game. It's a chore to watch us. Check the OTT for some perspective.

    In terms of his passing and crossing is a better than Bertrand. In terms of his dribbling and approach play? Not really. Bertrand, at this level, should be able to get to the byline with a one-two.

    frustration from Ram

    cant blame him- quite a few of them seem vexed

    Oscar standing there on the ball... no one moving. No overlap. No one to switch play to. Just everyone static at the top of the box, waiting to see if a cross will deflect into their lap.

    LMFAO Torres. You're shit.

    I'll say it again. Ramires is useless as a CDM.

    good ball over the top to Oscar

    he brings it down but with his back to goal

    Oscar tries to turn and shoot

    Torres comes steaming in and from just inside the 18 on the right hand side of the box

    he shoots and the ball goes out for a throw on the opposite side about 10 yards in
