!Hazard!

He should be starting. He has been class against every top team, not so much against bus parking teams so it would have made more sense to rest him against Newcastle

Hudson odooooi!

Then he must be seeing things. There are barely a handful of 18 year olds getting game time at top clubs. I want him to stay of course but if he doesn't even a bit of patience then good riddance. It isn't like he has been rotting on the bench for a decade under Sarri, the manager has barely been at the club for 6 months. That's a very short period of time after all and any youngster should be able to wait that long. Put your head down and work your way into the starting XI

I think he has made us slightly more conservative recently. Suddenly we are so good defensively and so crap offensively? It's down to more balanced tactics. Against Arsenal for example we played like a team coached by Pep

Real is just collectively so bad you can't make any conclusions about any of their players right now. Vinicius might be doing what Willian was doing in 2015/2016 when we were shit and he was bossing it

To be honest thats the kind of move that either goes your way when you are in form or ends in tears if you are not completely on top of your game. Luiz in his current form seems to get away with absolutely everything

Defence is definitely not the problem for this team. Also credit to Sarri for making it so solid. Kepa has been one of our better players this season alongside Hazard, Luiz and Rudiger

Is he really an upgrade on Kovacic?

Noticed that too. Very rare for a player of that age. At 18 years old Loftus-Cheek for example barely had enough stamina for 30 minutes of first team football

Yep, same thing happened few weeks ago when Willian was subbed off for Emerson. I think it's because Sarri wants a natural left footer in that central position

Goodbye Cesc

this fucking guy

Run down his contract if necessary. It would be madness to sell him now! He's good enough to play every week

Ampadu has been absolute class though

New winger really needs to be bought soon, hopefully next week already. Games are piling up and so are the injuries

Yep it would be like playing with 10 men. He's been out of the squad all season so you must wonder how off form he's anyways Need to bring in Jorginho I am afraid

Can't blame Sarri for Cesc missing a penalty and Morata missing sitters yet again. Game should be 2-0

Who else is even available?

What the hell is wrong with his back

CHO-Hazard-Pedro for the rest of the season please

Noo

In this form he really is a monster

Sorry to say the more I see Barkley this season the less convinced I am that he's fit for Sarriball. Just seems to lack that IQ to play at this level

Cesc will be dearly missed for sure. Midfielders like that just don't come across that often

He just can't get anything right at the moment lmao
