He wasn't impressed coming off and threw his gloves down on the ground/at the bench and seemed to be walking off to the tunnel .Someone on the bench offered kroos their hand but he didn't shake it.

Players usually react like that to not playing, rather than not earning more money, interesting all the same..

Jaysus I would test the waters and offer them a sum that would make them scratch their heads - after Mata anything is possible

Tony Cross.

Thiago has just scored a beauty for Bayern away yo Stuttgart (last minute). That goal alone was worth whatever Bayern paid for him, pure class

You at game last night? Heard anything if so?

Was Kroos behind Thiago and on bench before Thiago was injured?

If the scores stay as they are tonight a win on Saturday could possibly move us up to 5th! Follow that with a home win against Fulham and we'll be breathing down liverpools necks.

Im actually not looking forward to Stoke at all. If all the big guns start then I will but I can see me watching this game mostly behind the couch

Unless Liverpool keep winning that is... :P

Stoke will be tough enough but I reckn we'll scrape to, one or two injuries will scupper liverpools season

Rayne Wooney

It's going to be interesting to see what Moyes does with the team, going by the trend I think the attack will be Valencia right wing Mata left and RVP up top with Rooney behind. Mata and Valencia up and down then line and Rooney dropping into the midfield to get the ball.

It should be good enough to beat Stoke, but I can't see it working against Arsenal or Liverpool

Almost too perfect for our midfield..

Great little tune on this youtube...

Looks good but ye know how youtube can make players look spectacular...

If we beat Stoke and Fulham I think we can take Arsenal.

But I will just worry about Stoke first. This season has thought me just take 1 game at a time.

Woodward should be on the phone for Kroos straight away.. Clearly all not well at Bayern

Chelsea failing to score against a poor West Ham side at Stamford bridge, if only they had some sort of creative midfielder to bring juan :pac:

Well said Kew one at a time is the only way to approach it..we've gotten ahead of ourselves a few times this and gone flippin mental (myself included) when things have gone bad
Lets concentrate on controlling the controlables i.e. we win our games and the rest will take care of itself
There'll be plenty of points dropped before things wrap up with each team having to play other contenders before the season is through...

That's about as good as it could have gone for us tonight. 3rd is 100% up for grabs Chelsea are no great shapes.

What is Jose thinking playing 2 defensive midfielders at home to west ham....The mind boggles

This is why Chelsea wont win the league. To sell Mata to a rival & bring in Matic/Salah instead of a striker was stupid. Mourinho is a top top manager but he may have cost his team the title. Ba, Torres & Eto'o are not going to get you the league goals to win a title. We'll finish above Chelsea

Away to City next as well,with the way City are playing can see Chelsea getting noting from that.

Our lads have to do the biz on Saturday.

I think City will win this league, sadly.

Kroos having a strop at being subbed. Defo playing up for a bigger contract

Rayne Wooney

It always gets out of hand when we go on a decent run against the bottom sides

Anyone got that top 7 mini table updated to bring us back to reality, are we still bottom?

You're most likely right Kew but if any team could get a result at the council house its Chelsea, even a draw ould be good..
As I said earlier we'll concentrate on ourselves first and foremost
Ad lets not forget Citeh spent approx 100m in each of the last 3 seasons, they were bound to come good sometime..
when the equaliser and David spend more in the summer lets see where things are at this time next season

10 point gap..lot of games to be played, Chelsea have been hit & miss like us all season, if we didnt have injuries we would be level or above Chelsea. I can see them dropping many more points due to lack of world class striker

Ya thankfully have heard nothing just that we are still looking to get another name in.

Dont think it will be worldy though.:)

City have moved to a new level could see them winning the Champions League. Players of the quality of Vidal and Draxler are going to be needed to challenge them next season.

doesnt need to be really. just a decent midfielder will do until the summer. Having Mata, Rooney and RVP with Jones, Giggs and cleverley behind them is like having a ferrari with a fiat panda engine. We could have messi and ronaldo up front but we d still struggle when our midfield cant make a tackle or pass the ball properly.
If you look at our team we have a world class goalkeeper, good centre halves, one decent full back and fantastic attacking options. All we need is a good midfield to knit it all together and a replacement for Evra. A stop gap midfielder and someone like Coentrao would drive us up the table.
Good to see Moyes getting a bit fiery. He s been way too passive so far.

+1 on this
Having someone (or two off) like Vidal,Pogba,Kroos,Herrera, Koke in CM alongside Carrick would sort out the midfield. Coentrao at LB (which could still happen if Madrid get Moreno) and a settled centre half pairing would go a long way toward completing the team. If we could then strengthen the quality of replacements, which has fallen off a wee bit so there's competition there from the bench we'd have no problem challenging City and most other clubs in Europe.
Moyes has been making the right noises recently, lets see if he can deliver this summer (pre world cup please David) and then we should be in a position to judge him if things go right or wrong next season

I dont think City have moved to a new level. Put Yaya and Fernandinho into our midfield and we would be flying.

Similarly swap Valencia with Navas and the city player would look very average in our side.
