Kroos is physically a lot better then Mata.He is Stronger,quicker and has more stamina then him also his passing range and vision would any style.

I feel there is a difference.For me Kroos is definitely the better passer between the two and certainly has more vision while Gundogan is quicker and is the better defender and dribbler.,Gundogan obviously is also a fantastic passer but kroos edges it for me. On Kroos not controlling enough games,Just ask any Bayern fan and He'll tell you how important Kroos has been to their possession based game.Bastian has been injured most of the season and Thiago has also struggled with injuries while Martinez has not played a lot this season in midfield.Bayern are at the top of the league because Kroos and Lahm have controlled and dictated the midfield in pretty much every game.

Yeah no doubt about it.

Kroos is the better passer though.

Our fixtures will be Fulham away and Spurs at home,Both are tricky fixtures imo.

So after reading some scout reports and watching some of his match compilations(yeah I know they aren't the beat way to judge a player but still) I found him to possess very similar qualities of our Chalobah.He is neat on the ball,very good defensively and likes to go box to box.Still he is not the creative midfielder or DLP most of us crave for.

Exactly!I really wish we would have kept KDB because after Mata he had the best vision in our team.

They should be careful as it could become another Hargreaves situation for them.

Barry gets a lot of credit from pundits but it's McCarthy who has impressed me more this season.Very composed on the ball,good defensively and very energetic.

Ivanovic scored from a corner against West brom recently albeit it was Luiz's flick which made that chance.

Interesting thing is that City's next league game will on 15th March so they'll have 3 games in hand over us by then.Dont know whether its a good thing or not.

Same here.Really want us to focus more on the league.

So he's dominant in the air?

This beautiful Serbian monster was fantastic.

I am willing to bet that Azpi would do a decent job in midfield in an emergency situation ala Lahm.

A lot better performance from Rambo.

This guy is an unbelievable defender seriously.

Immense performance form JT.Such an inspirational figure.

Have you seen him play?If so can you describe his style of play please?

Yes they have done it well but in games like these Hazard needs some help from his fullback which sadly Azpi is not able provide.Azpi is very useful going forward but only from his natural right side.

I sure hope so.....

This is the first time it has been mentioned of Varane's release clause so it would be better to take it with a pinch of salt until one of the more reliable sources confirms it.

Dafuq?Since when does Varane has a 25m release clause?

Chelsea's ladies defender Laura Basett on how to stop Eden Hazard “We have witnessed him single handedly demolish defences and win games. “Being a defender, I try to put himself in the position of marking him. “To stop him and effectively defend against him, I think it is definitely about defending as a team. It is paramount to limit the supply to him so he becomes frustrated. If he does get in possession of the ball, he must be pressed and pursued but not too vigorously as he has the ability to react to ill timed and lazy movements from the opposing players. Defenders must be clever tactically and adapt the speed of their pressing.”

Chelsea will try to sign Marseille central midfielder Gianelli Imbula in the summer. (Radio Monte Carlo)
