  • How do we look, people?

  • Thanks for the input. Good win nonetheless.

  • AISIR

    haha lampard off for kalou again.

  • Mateo

    im starting to feel bad for Genk, hope AVB and the players dont, is sturridge and Mata go in, this could easily become double digit scoreboard

  • Justin Wan

    Luiz has been up front all day. Think Cole should get a rest and let Alex on, moving Luiz to the left. at some point kalou will come on and we will concede for no reason.

  • Lucas

    Has frank lampard taken more than one touch on the ball yet? Fantastic stuff!

  • ZachAttack8

    mata would be running train on these guys if he were out there. the passing looks excellent for the players out there currently

  • At work. Am I reading this correctly: Torres is pillaging?

  • Justin Wan

    Not sure if Torres on fire for real, or Genk is just that poor.

  • ph0bolus

    omg Luiz calm down son!

  • Justin Wan

    fantastic striker's finish for torres. just playing off the shoulder, at his best

  • Justin Wan

    torres can't catch a break lool.

    and there goes a goal for mereiles. we got 2 shooters in MF and Genk is giving us a ton of space

  • Mateo

    holy fuck nando is one unlucky bastard

  • Mateo

    hope Josh hands in a transfer request or something, its just amazing how hes constantly looked over

  • Well, he did play 90 minutes for the reserves on Monday. Still, at least for me, that's no excuse for him to not be on the bench.

  • Commanderbenpower

    where can we watch the game - is there a link?

  • Streaming links are in the post.

  • As I said on Twitter, I'm mildly surprised to see Alex only on the bench. I think we have to expect him to move on in January; it seems clear Villas-Boas doesn't rate him all that highly.

  • thespecial1

    Where's Drogba? How come he isn't even on the bench?

  • Rested for the weekend. I wouldn't read too much into it.

  • Closer319

    avb please dont waste josh talent , what romeu did than josh to start ahead , it is ridiculous 

    otherwise sell him or loan out 

  • Romeu and Josh could've started together. It's a mystery as to where Josh has gone.
