Pedro is perhaps suffering from the Azplicueta at LB effect. It's like he's on an island sometimes, with no true full back behind him making constant overlaps. And unlike Hazard, he's a pure winger and can't drift centrally and still be effective. We need Guus to start making tactical statements as far as personnel and tactical shape goes. He can't be relying on Mourinho's model anymore.

It's not even a serious question. It's like comparing Schurrle to Hazard. People have very short memories and are very fickle and ungrateful.

Seriously. Seriously??? You have some issues, man. Anyway, if Matic was available on the market tomorrow, the top clubs in Europe will be lining up for his signature. And don't bother responding to my post. I don't want to have the displeasure of reading your silly nonsense. If you can't converse like a normal human being, then don't even bother.

Hopefully, that is what it is.

The fact that he prefers Mikel to MATIC of all people, in my eyes, our second best player behind Hazard, is extremely worrying. Any midfielder will look bad eventually playing next to a defensive liability like Fabregas. Matic doesn't deserve to be dropped while guys like Oscar and Ivanovic keep their places. Hopefully, Guus figures this shit out quickly. You cannot bench Matic for Mikel.

You have your opinions about Matic (that you never miss an opportunity to express), I have mine. Matic is one of the best players in his position in the world. Because I'm not in the mood for back and forth, I'll just leave it at that.

I know Matic hasn't been playing that well, having to cover for Fabregas' lazy arse, for the most part so has looked dead on his feet. BUT...... Mikel should NEVER be playing ahead of him. Matic is WORLD CLASS. Mikel is average. Our midfield is pathetic right now. He contributes nothing to our attacks, unlike Matic. He is unambitious with the ball and useless without it. One good game vs Palace means nothing.

Mikel is shocking!

RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUBEN!!!!!!!!!

Gomes will be the perfect player for our midfield, but Valencia won't sell in January, so it's moot.

He doesn't have an agent. He represents himself.

No it won't.

Both Bale and James are overpriced and overrated and neither will want to come here without CL football. It's a moot discussion. And besides, in the hypothetical scenario we do get James, it means Oscar's out as well.

I know now isn't the time for this, but Loftus Cheek can/should be our Delle Alli. I've watched both these guys play together for the England U-19's and Ruben is in NO WAY inferior to Alli. In fact, he regularly outperformed Alli in the games I saw. Was incredibly mismanaged by Mourinho this season, was Ruben.

Just stop attacking and give us the clean sheet you bastards.

WHAT A GOAL that will have been. Wow

Wise, JT, Lamps and Didi chants. Nice

WILIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Costa WTF is your problem? That's embarrassing mate. C'mon. If refs don't blow, then carry on.

How is that NOT a yellow card on Jedinak? Ridiculous

Eden has hardly ever got injured in his career. I think he was only ever injured once at Lille and prior to this season, twice for us. Now he's been injured twice in the space of a month. Maybe it's just wear and tear of playing too much football. No player has played more PL minutes than him since he joined us in 2012. Hopefully, a speedy recovery. I really miss the magic we've seen from THAT Hazard.

Best footballing performance since the proverbial "Swansea away" that has been hung on to for how many months. Everyone has played well. Starting to look like a FOOTBALL side, rather than a Rugby team up in Leicester.

Whatta pass from Oscar Azpiiiiii, SHIT.

Dear I say it, Brana is looking SOLID in this game.

OSCARRRRRR!!!!!!!! HAHA.
