[Myself 793]

YES! Leys just get Thibaut a new contract and my life will be complete

[iseah100 5,612]

Geeez. Some people just seem to get so touchy whenever someone bring up the future of Mourinho (and even Hazard) at the club...

Yes. Forgot about him!

Great news for a top top player. This lad is gives so much on the field and his ability since he joined has totally amazed me.

The board again with another top signing.

[Fulham Broadway 16,383]

Don't even joke about that...

Seen this club go through incredible ups and downs, from the most skint to the richest. Life in top football at the moment for staff has never been more precarious, the whole house of cards is built on TV revenue.

That said, and I hope I am not tempting fate here, but my club at the moment is having an unprecedented period of stability.

Will be a difficult season for him tbh. Ivanovic is playing reat, Luis is better than him as a LB...at the moment, he would sit on the bench for me. Dont want to see him anymore at the LB position, its a pain to see him there.

Azpi is a perfect player for us to have because of his versatility. And Ivan started last season just like this and come the end of the season was a defensive liability.... Luis isn't physically ready yet, otherwise he'd have played more than 17 minutes. There's plenty of opportunities for Dave.

I remember a certain Aussie member wanted Maicon over Azpilicueta. He was very adamant about this, citing Azpi as unreliable and Maicon as a proven alternative.

Good game but made wrong decision to take a few steps to anticipate the runner out wide and leave the centre exposed with JT caught out..

The weekend interview : Cesar Azpilicueta

[The Chels 2,502]

Defensively he was great today but once again offered nothing going forward. Obviously that was partly due to our tactics but even when he tried to pass the ball forward, on at least a couple of instances it went out for a City throw-in. When it was 11v10 he finally got up the field but his cross was completely tame. I really can't see why Luis doesn't start.

[nono 791]

He is our best defender. Luis should start, but in place of Ivanovic.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

My MOTM today. Brilliant performance, especially in the first half when he was the only one keeping us in it.

[Daniel1980 1,425]

People often bitch about Azpi's little offensive contribution, but this game showed why he starts for us. He was easily our best defender.

[Special Juan 27,092]

Still baffles me the price we paid for this lad, he's fucking quality and he gives the impression he loves it here. Big smiles and a top pro.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Best 1vs1 defender in the league; and by some distance!

[LAB 1,030]

You simply can't drop Azpi in matches like this. MOTM along with Matic.

[communicate 2,703]

Without a doubt MOTM against city, absolutely nullified the left side of the field.

[Jase 43,479]

First assist of the season! Good cross to set up Costa yesterday.
