Whatever mate. We just won a match and you're spending more time ranting about my rather harmless post.

Pedro more often than not skies his shots as well but he could hit the odd screamer undeniably. Doesn't mean Hazard should shoot less. You have severe problems with reading comprehension, I'm not whining nor criticising him for not shooting. I'm not entitled to wish him to score on his comeback as a fan? I said I was crying out for him to shoot and I WISH he would shoot more in those moments. I'm not pissed nor am I unhappy that he didn't. I just want him to be more selfish and if he doesn't, that's fine as long as he performs. You probably should put me in ignore if you don't like my posts. Not sure what ticked you off initially as I thought my initial comment was pretty harmless. I'm through explaining myself.

Problem is I'm not just referring to his long range shots, I mentioned he should shoot more when it opens up for him rather look for a teammate. It means that he's in a good position to shoot but doesn't, could be inside the box or just outside the box.

I agree, but there are some moments throughout his time with us where he's done all the hard work, could shoot at the moment but goes for a teammate instead. When we signed him, he was pretty much the leading man at Lille and he did score some cracking screamers in his debut season with us. So he's definitely capable, no doubt about it. Being unselfish is one of his better qualities as a player and a teammate but he should have a selfish streak sometimes. He's entitled to it after all. Agreed that we don't want him to go for the speculative shoots often, but just when it opens up for him.

FFS, I wasn't whining about his performance but I was just pointing out it would serve him better to be more selfish. Seriously, Pedro shoots when he's not supposed to while Hazard should be entitled to shoot more. It's not just about 10 minute cameo, I've based it from watching him week in week out with us before he got injured. And why bring up the FIFA comparison? I don't even play FIFA. Even Cesc has pointed out last season that it would serve him better to be more selfish sometimes like other top players. Seriously, you need to get a grip, you're the one with issues reading.

I was crying out for him to shoot after he dribble through the middle at one point. I'm not sure if it's his mentality or he's been coached that way, but he really needs to shoot more often instead of being unselfish. Hopes he can become more selfish and just shoot when it opens up, Pedro is the exact opposite of him in that department.

Maybe what they mean is they reassigned his parking space?

He has an uncanny resemblance to Mahrez, must be the eyebrows and beard... On second thought, he looks like a tall love-child of Mahrez and Pedro..

Is writing in caps the new form of sarcasm?

Moses needs competition and while Azpi can play at RWB, it's not his best position and he's better kept as a right side CB. I think Pedro and Moses has both covered at LB but I agree it's not the ideal scenario. Too late to go for a decent LB at this point though.

"Those close to him" are pressuring him to join Arsenal? Are they out of their bleeping minds? He'll have an awful time fam! Wenger will play him out of position blud!

Be careful, once I thought I woke up a from a dream but it turned out twas' still a dream... But on that note, can't wait for the commentators to go, "Zappacosta with a cross ta Morata"! !

I thought the same as well until I changed the video quality on one of his videos.. but in all seriousness, youtube videos are never the best place to judge a player... you'll have to tolerate somewhat terrible music as well for most of the time. He does seem like a signing Conte would go for, ala Marcos Alonso. Not spectacular all the time but does the job well and has a high improvement ceiling...

You'll get all the confirmations you want if you turn off the computer, go out camping somewhere and come back on September 2nd. Deadline day is always a rollercoaster ride!

If Zappacosta was a striker that would've been a weird yet funny coincidence.

Never fear, Zapp is here to save the day.

If he doesn't want to be here, might as well go for another player. I'd preferred Cedric Soares between the two. Ox has the advantage of being jack of all trades (master of none though) but we're really just looking for competition for Moses. Ox wouldn't even start over Drinkwater in midfield (if he comes), let alone Bakayoko, Cesc or Kante. Funny if he went to Liverpool and Klopp played both him and Milner as full-backs on either side, would've been an ironic consequence.

Won't be surprised if we still end up stuck with Costa to be honest. Dude made it difficult for himself by wanting to join a team that won't fork out the money to sign him.

Do journos just pull out these numbers with decimal points out of their arses?

Alex Sandro + 20-30m(that we would have to pay) would still be a good deal

He's still got to improve on his hold up play and his dribbling style is eerily reminiscent of Torres. He does have quick feet but tends to get the ball stuck in between or underneath his feet too easily. Made some good runs that were ignored, but looked dangerous when running the channels. Not going to put too much stock into his missed header, think he had too much time and jumped too early. It was also quite early in the match as well, even the best of strikers would miss them sometimes. Loved the bit where he killed Alderweireld for pace when we were on the counter. He's definitely got a great burst of acceleration over 10 yards.

Rudiger I would think. But if the opposition is threat when it comes to set pieces (like Spurs), we'll need a tall back three. I wouldn't mind Azpi going back to RWB, Moses seems to be out of sorts at the moment. Azpi, Luiz, AC, Rudiger and Alonso won't be a bad option for certain type of games.

Great hair and magnificent goals. We should be looking to upgrade on Moses instead, that's more of a pressing issue.

That was a one-off cup game(even Bats started that game) and Cahill was more or less rested for that game. Christiansen has a run-in of games no doubt after this performance. Cahill only has himself to blame if he permanently loses his spot from here on..

To be honest most of the free-kicks he looked to have give away looked soft. The one where he barely puts his arms around Alli and all Alli had to do was flop around and give Taylor his puppy dog eyes.
