HAZARD YOU FUCKING GENIUS!!

Surprised Schurrle is starting ahead of Willian

Really impressive player with world class potential. He could be an ideal long-term replacement for the likes of Mikel and Ramires. He and William Carvalho.

Wow, check this out! Best football promo I've seen in a while.

Mourinho record vs Man Utd, City, Arsenal and Liverpool.

Let's not get too cocky. They are a very good team with players that can cause of serious trouble.

Genius!

No love for Nemanja yet, he was fantastic yet again as he always is. Bossed it. The talk about his slow start to the season was harsh and mostly due to having to adjust to the inclusion of an attack minded CM in our midfield in Fabregas.. Now that we've found some balance with Cesc, he's back to his super reliable self.

Was pretty shocking today vs Sporting. He has the tendency to do that sometimes.

Schalke 1-1 Maribor. Top of the group!

Got what we needed and what we deserved.

Simple pass to Oscar, Schurrle fucks up again. Zero awareness.

LOL

Thanks people

I missed the first 25-30 mins of this game because I was in class. How was our performance during that time period? I see from the stats that we had 58 percent possession which is a welcome development away from home in Europe. But were we controlling the game, creating clear chances and dictating the tempo?

Schurrle is a little bit too eager.

Finally, Nemanja scores from a set-piece

(1) I personally think it's pretty disrespectful myself because Jose doesn't do the same when we lose or draw, if he was consistent then I don't think it will be an issue. I've also heard commentators criticizing him for doing that. I can see how it might be deemed disrespectful from a neutral perspective when your team is getting trashed and the opposition manager wants to shake hands early and leave. It's unnecessary. (2) Yes, the media is also going to have a massive moan about something that wasn't even picked up by the camera because it's Mourinho. They sensationalize much less, so it's to be expected. In a different country with a different culture, this wouldn't even be a big deal, as Barbara rightly said.

Cesc's performance vs Villa was underrated and I voted for him as the MOTM. Sometimes it's not about the goal, the assist or being directly involved in the goal. Of course the way Villa played made it easy for him but he completely controlled the tempo of our play. He completed something like 134 passes? Ridiculous.

I like Steve Holland. Very well-spoken guy and he gives insightful interviews. Far from a robot.

He's an amazing player no doubt and one of the best ever but even Mourinho considers Brazilian Ronaldo and Maradona to be better players and I'm starting to agree with that. Just how good is this current La Liga is the question.

Mourinho said it will take a month or so when he commented about it 2 weeks ago. There is no set date.

] The French media is so embarrassing, Canal Plus precisely. How many times must they ask Hazard the same question?

I'm not going to get to carried away with Willian. One moment he's fantastic (usually when the team as a whole is fantastic) the next he's dreadful. Let him put in a string of impressive performances first.
