!Hazard!

Very true. More often than not Torres was horrific and he missed A LOT of chances whereas Costa despite being very clinical probably ruined around 100+ attacking plays a season because of his poor technical ability and lack of link-up play. They were both far far from perfect. That being said, I expect Morata to spend extra hours on the training pitch working on his finishing. I was a playmaker, not a striker, as a kid and thus I don't exactly know what he or the coaching staff can do to improve his confidence in front of the goal but it's clear that something needs to be done.

Shocking performance. Should have scored a hat trick

Ok I'm officially worried about Morata's finishing now

I know i know should be more supportive of him. It's just hard for me to support a midfielder that's technically on the same level with the average goalkeepers

Last chance for Bakayoko in my eyes. If he can't pull it together he might as well go to Vitesse or something for the rest of the season.

It's about time we change that outdated policy. There are more and more players nowadays who can still play at the top level in their mid-30s.

Gotta laugh at United. What will Mourinho moan about this time? Considering the fact that we didn't improve our squad in the summer, a second place at this stage of the season is a very good result regardless of how big the gap is between us and City. Hats off to Conte who's overachieving with this squad yet again.

Willian has been outstanding today. Clearly MoM

If we end up selling Hazard, it would be wise to consider a swap+money with Real rather than just getting a truck load of cash. Imagine we get the £200 million after the sale, who are we going to buy? Every club from here to Hong Kong knows that CFC just made a hefty profit on a player and thus every winger or advanced midfielder will have a huge premium on their price tags. We would probably end up panic buying Perisic for £150 million or something like that. So yes, I definitely support the idea of getting Isco in case Hazard goes. At least he's a proven top top quality player.

In the era of overpaid instagram prima donnas and dabbers, Azpi's professionalism is worth 100 million alone. The fact that he is also a fantastic footballer makes him quite literally priceless.

We'll struggle to make the top4 next season if the board don't wake up. Top LWB, CM, RW, RWB are an absolute must. Get two of them next month and the other two in the summer. Oops this was Virgil's thread. Well good for Liverpool, they are building a very strong squad and VvD is exactly what they need at the moment

This is just dreadful at the moment

Why on Earth does Willian take it? Alonso is arguably the best free-kick taker in the league at the moment.

At this stage it feels like Jose is just destroying his own legacy. He needs to quit Premier League and go back to Italy or Portugal (maybe the national team?) or else he risks becoming Arsene Wenger.

I honestly can't see why this couldn't happen. Definitely a win-win for both clubs and both players.

Phasing him out and selling him only makes sense if there's long-term plan in place to play four at the back once we get a world class left-back. If we continue with 3ATB, Luiz will be an incredibly useful part of the squad and should be kept as long as possible. Right now unfortunately we don't know which formation we'll use in the near future since nobody even knows who's the manager at the club next season.

If only he had one friend who studies humanities or social sciences at a university or who at least watches the news every now and then he wouldn't even dare to try stuff like this lol

I think FA Cup should be the priority this season but I wouldn't mind winning both cups all things considered. Kante, Azpilicueta, Moses, Christensen and Hazard should still be rested though.

I think our scouts shouldn't be blamed considering they were the ones who discovered KdB in the first place. However, our manager at the time thought Oscar is better...

I love how they are able to keep every short pass nicely on the ground and all the first touches seem to be close to perfect. Can't play this type of football with Bakayoko.

Where is he?

I'm getting the shirt.

So basically he's worse than Willian?

If we end up getting Sandro AND this guy in January, it think it might mean the end of 3-5-2. Maybe Conte finally feels like the has the squad to play 4-3-3 or 4-2-4. Maybe that's the reason why he has phased out Luiz who cannot play in a back four. I really don't know if this guy is worth £80 million though.

This is going to be painful to watch.
