I have to agree with all that, sadly

Eto'o will most likely take a couple of months to get anything close to the movement and awareness we've seen in the past (he's as good as had 2 years off in Russia!)

Hazard is renowned for being a slow starter, took him a while last season as well - which is odd and bloody frustrating.

Not sure what's going on with Mata - whether Jose just doesn't fancy him or if it's fitness issues.

Lamps - hard to see where he fits best into the formation we play, there doesn't seem to be a place for him.

Agree about Cahill and Willian. But there's something else that I noticed - Cech doesn't dive to his right any longer. The majority of our goals conceded have been due to that (well, that and s**t defending)

That said, though, we'll do Foolems on Saturday. 5:30 kick off. Stupid time, I'll be s**tfaced before I even get there!
