Our own Willian is already better than him in that position, the problem is the RW when Wil plays in the middle, Cuadrado isn't ready yet.

Think he will play, especially in the United and Arsenal games. We are short in options, we only have Cuadrado, Drogba, Rambo/Oscar as our attacking players from the bench. I'd say max 2 goals in the remaining 8 games for him. One late winning goal vs Arsenal would be a dream.

Lol Ibra would be epic, but I would love to see Costa-Remy-Bamford/Solanke-Didier as our strikers for next season. Costa and Remy as 1st and 2nd option, with Remy occasionally playing on the wing. Bamford/Solanke gets the early cup games, rotating with Remy. And some minutes in the EPL games when we've already won the game, to build experience. Drogba as a player/coach role, the perfect late minute pinchhitter. Only on the bench in big games.

I really truly hope that Mou meant this: ''I don't think it was a bad performance (for his standards, cause his ceiling isn't that high, so it was just a normal Oscar performance). But I just think that he/it was not good enough (his level is just not good enough for us, I finally realize it), that's a huge difference (difference between not having the level for CFC and just having 1 bad performance).'' But I am afraid that this is just a trick of Mou to use the media to challenge/motivate his beloved Oscar, and we will stick with him forever. Last season he said Oscar saved himself for the world cup but decided to stick with him, so I won't be surprised if Oscar just stays and keeps trolling us with his holiday performances. Many will criticize me for saying this, but I would celebrate Oscar's departure like the way I did with Fernando's.

I like this line up, as an emergency line when both Matic and Cesc are not available.

Yeah he was such a monster in that season when Dortmund reached the CL final. Always wanted him here, if he recovers well, Matic-Gundogan-Cesc is a dream midfield.

Don't want to be a party pooper, but this only changed our goal from: 5 wins + 1 draw to 5 wins/4 wins and 3 draws.

The difference between United, City and Arsenal are 2 points. And both United and Arsenal are in better form than City, both playing well. They are now all 3 equal in chances IMO. It's not like the media made up the 7 win streak, they are really doing it. Let's see if Mancity manages to beat Crystal Palace tonight. I don't think the fans are afraid of Arsenal/United/City here, many are just cautious with their early celebrations/conclusions cause it's been too long since we've won it. I personally, take it game by game cause 1 game week can change a lot.

Hi friend! Yes, definitely want him here if the HG quota rule doesn't change. Mou loves players who wanna "die" for him, and he is an example of that, like Terry, Didier, Zlatan and many at Inter. I remember Mou saying prior/after the game vs Dortmund:" Khedira is not available and he is vital for our play" and then Madrid lost 4-1 against Lewandowski. Khedira when fit, is a superb player and can even start many games for us next to Matic. Him or Matic running forward to support the attacks, with the other holding behind would be good to see. In other games when Cesc plays deep, he could rotate with Matic. RLC could learn a lot from him too. So, win-win-win situation imo.

Cesc was actually pretty good against Stoke yesterday. Him, Willian and Hazard combined very well but he latter two were superb so nobody mentioned Cesc, same goes for Azpi who was like a leader. Vs Hull and Spurs final he also was very good, decent vs Burnley and should've had an assist if Hazard just scored against Westham instead of playing to Willian. So we can pretty much confirm the "he only plays well in the first part of his season" myth is just bs.

Nah it's Mou we are talking about, he always plays his best players unless they are not fit. He played Costa yesterday,Rambo vs Liverpool, Cesc when just recovered and Hazard vs Atletico last season while they were not 100 % for example. He will rather win at QPR and risk losing against United/Arsenal than risk a draw at QPR.

Khedira would be a good squad player this summer, no transfer fee. Could hold too if needed and a smarter box to box player than Rambo with less pace though. Could partner Matic in big games with Cesc at 10. If Mikel decides it's time to leave, I'd love to see Khedira here. Oh yeah and he loves Mou, one of the few who didn't joined the club of cunts to betray him.

Yeah typical Mou, he did it at Madrid and it was so funny to see. Scored a leading goal and then brings Albiol and Arbeloa at the same time to close the gate. But his was move was risky yesterday, using his last sub in min 63, I was really afraid of an injury or another Stoke goal.

Yeah Schurrle would've been so good now, a proven scorer for us. But in his interview I read it was him who forced to leave, so nothing we could do about it. Cuadrado had a tough youth, his dad was killed while he was hiding in the house. A guy with such background but still managed to be here today surely has great mental power, I believe him and think he will shine once given a run of games, or when Mou tells him just to express himself.

Just rewatched the game and wow, he was insanely good. So many attacks started with him. - Willian>Cahill>Remy shot - Willian>Hazard>Oscar - Willian>Cesc>penalty - Willian fk>Ivanovic - Willian interception>Eden>Remy goal And then he also beat his man on the RW and crossed the ball a few times. Combined well with Cesc and Eden. Created space with his pace running forward. And then his superb pass (one of his most underrated assets) to Cuadrado. Pfff this guy was so good, absolutely his top 3 best games for us. Stoke at home is his favourite enemy now, last season he was the motm in that game. (Also playing at #10) Really want to see him in the middle cause he actually also can score from outside the box: - Norwich (left foot) - Southampton - Stoke - Everton - Watford (not televised FA cup game) And something I've noticed ( I might be wrong) is the reason that Willian takes some set pieces is because of the ball speed. Cesc his passing and set pieces aren't that hard and fast, his balls are mostly high floating balls without a lot of power (example, assist to Costa vs Arsenal) but accurate. Willian's set pieces are faster and harder and that's tougher to defend for the enemies compared to the floating balls from Cesc.

Because they are really hot at the moment, 7 wins in a row isn't nothing. They are only 1 pt behind City if City wins tonight. Plus Arsenal have the easiest fixtures left, they only have United and us as tough games. To be honest, without the FA campaign there wasn't a title race at all. Burnley - 2 pens not awarded, cards not given to that cunt but to Matic. Lost 2 points. Southampton (a) - pen not awarded, 2 points lost. Southampton (h) - our pen not awarded but their doubtful pen given, 2 points lost. Spurs - pen not given, we lost in the end but could've had 1 point at least. 7 points taken away from us at least, for whatever reasons. I was really suprised with the penalty against Stoke, our first in 5 months.

Recent one I remember: semi COC Liverpool assist to Ivanovic. Yesterday Iva was also close to a goal when Willian took the freekick.

I was really excited when I saw him preparing to shoot from distance (around min 76) but then just passed it wide. It's obviously a mental problem, he is a little too cautious but I think he will improve soon. One thing he really needs to work on is his strength, Willian and Eden are also small but strong. Then he almost scored the goal but was unlucky, I was really hoping to see him dance with Drogba, haha. Hope to see that this season.

He is only behind Messi, Ronaldo is overrated.

Yeah that's why I think we need Ramires in pivot for this one with Cesc moving up. Ramires should be there to put those emergency tackles, not Matic or Cesc.

Yeah he criticized him a little bit in the post match interview. http://www1.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/teams/chelsea/9789827/mourinho-defends-costa-decision

Should be our no 10 from now on.

Does it quite often, I also remember the long ball to azpi>costa goal against Liverpool.
