We can sit back and watch these two batter themselves.

That was probably our hardest game in the run other than City or Spurs, we didn't play well, especially in the 1st half, but we still scored 4 goals. We faced adversity for the 1st time in a long while, they came back twice but we came back each time. Stuff of Champions!

Fucking United man

WHAT A FUCKING GOAL FROM COSTA!!! WOW! After being sub-par all game, he scores from absolutely nothing.

That's shocking from Costa. It's not 3-0. We shouldn't be debating direct free-kick takers.

Again the glory pass from Willian when he could just square it to Moses. Our style of play has really changed since a month ago. Maybe we're trying to force it too much. Sometimes the simpler option is the best.

I'm calm as usual mate But blaming Cesc and his pace for the slow start is just laughable. If Matic had started this game and we played like how we have, our play would have been worse.

Finally, we score the type of goal our play deserves so far.

This team has forgotten how to value possession. We've been dominated in possession by mediocre sides in the last 3 or 4 games (excluding the Brom and Sunderland games). There's just no patience in our play. We're also not pressing. We want to play on the counter from minute 1?

Absolute rubbish. I can think of many game we're slow and sloppy when Matic starts. Blaming Fabregas here is ridiculous.

They are outplaying us right now. Only 45% possession at home.

Why can't we keep the ball for 5 seconds? Always looking for the glory pass

Such a lucky goal. Huge deflection basically puts it on a plate for Alli. Completely against the run of play too.

Bertrand right now is better than Alonso. Shame a certain manager showed no faith in him.

Boufal unsurprisingly draws the foul and the Saints score within the first 2 minutes. Van Dijk from the resulting set-piece. We need Van Dijk in the summer and with Christensen and Ake coming back, we should be set in central defence.

He also takes penalties for them but there's no doubt he has a sense of goal.

Not true.

Despite Hazard playing injured and missing a month in the 1st half of 2016. Not bad. Hazard's dribbling success rate is usually very high. This season, he's dribbling with a 77% (!!) success rate, despite being a high volume dribbler, which is just crazy. For context, in the 2016/17 season: Hazard completed 84 dribbles (77% success rate) Zaha completed 73 dribbles (57% success rate) Neymar completed 63 dribbles (64% success rate) Ousmane Dembele (a future superstar btw) completed 61 dribbles (58% success rate) Lionel Messi completed 43 dribbles (57% success rate) Hazard is easily the best dribbler in the world at this point and it's not even up for a debate. The art of dribbling is not just something that should be considered aesthetically pleasing but if a player can dribble past 3 or 4 players with a mazy run, it momentarily takes those players out of the game and creates massive holes in their positional structure. (As we saw in Marcos Alonso's 2nd goal vs Everton).

We've also only conceded 2 (!!) goals. I can go on and on.

It's the longest winning streak in PL history in a single season. It's the most impressive winning streak ever because: (1) We've faced good opposition. Man City, Spurs, United, Southampton, Leicester, Everton etc All those teams excluding Leicester are in the current top 8. (2) The league is stronger than it's ever been. Unlike Arsenal's 14 game streak, this is in one season not two. (3) The current team finished 10th last season. Regardless of how much of an anomaly it was and the bizarre circumstances that surrounded it, this team finished 10th and has now won 12 in a row. I just hope Liverpool drop points before the 2nd half of the season starts. I feel we should be up even more points to 2nd place.

That means Pedro will be dropped and we change from 3-4-3 to 3-5-2. Nah.

For me, Fabregas has earned his starting spot over Matic with his recent displays. At least at home I hope Cesc starts.

Hazard

Hazard and Pedro have chemistry. Other than Fabregas, he's the only smart enough to link up well with Hazard. Willian just does his own thing. It's like he's detached from the team. Right now, he's way behind Pedro.

It's a joke how good he is
