    If I saw correctly, Kelly was Luiz' man. Luiz has had a bad game.

    What is it going to take for AVB to wake up and fix the defense?

    You what? Does AVB have a controller in his hands making the players go where he wants? These are players making the mistakes.

    Man... with Mourinho we would never lose at home. Clearly AVB didn't pick up the "home is a fortress" mentality from his supposed mentor.

    The defense needs sorting. Too much chopping and changing. Our fullbacks simply aren't suited for the style of play either. Neither has produced much going forward and both are leaving gaping holes in the back.

    The team can't put the ball in the back of the net and is leaky at the back. It's not a great combination.

    I'm not sure if this is right, but I believe Porto went undefeated in the league in all comps last season under AVB.

    Yeah because working on defending set pieces in practice is Playstation stuff? Dont be a douche.

    Everyone did their job on that set piece BUT Lukaku, it was a individual mistake, dont' make it personal because you are wrong.

    A team that doesn't defend their own turf is a team doomed to a middling season.

    Hey, hula any news on Eriksen. I hope we make a silly bid for him in January. Malouda/Kalou are probably going to depart and Lukaku needs a loan. He is not anywhere close to Drogba in style. More akin to Kenwyne Jones.

    We just look slow and unorganized. From the 2 games so far againt Pool, I have no reason to think we are a better team.

    We certainly aren't making better use of the ball. Pool seems quicker and more athletic as well. At least in this game.

    Yeah, but Porto is really dominant there as it is. Porto is also undefeated there so far this season, without AVB.

    Dudes, both goals and the peno came from horrendous individual decisions/mistakes. They aren't passing or slicing through us, take it easy on the hyperbole.
