Yeah I said behind our bench, but on PSG's bench would even be better if they can offer £25m+

Not a big fan of Oscar in any role, maybe a spot behind the bench. Either Ramires, Remy, Cuadrado or even Luis should start before Oscar. And don't slate Cuadrado, that guy only started 2 matches here where he was good in 1. Oscar has been bad for 4 months now, the Swansea game was his only shining performance within a bunch of shit performances. Can't believe he is getting chance after chance after chance

But he is only inconsistent and is still good for the "balance" of the team

Dp

My opinion isn't based on 1 game where he was on a yellow card and played on the RW. He should partner Matic in the pivot. We haven't lost any game with him and Matic this season, and won the COC when he supported Zouma.

He started his career at the 10 position and obviously can attack. Would love him in midfield helping our attacks and he can actually defend.

Rambo is the best supporting player for Matic and Cesc in midfield, much better than Oscar. Remy, Luis (and Zouma) should get more minutes. Cuadrado needs a run of games

One of Mou's biggest mistakes ever is sticking to Oscar.

He carried the whole attack today and created that 1v1 chance for Oscar.

Mou's stubbornness for keep playing Oscar can cost us so badly, he does nothing on the pitch and is useless when he touch the ball. He vacants a spot where we can use Ramires to help Cesc and Matic out.

Ramires for Oscar please, Matic-Rambo pivot, Cesc just at 10.

Understand this line up since it won us many games but I'm a little disappointed with it. Cahill-played well for 3 games. Zouma-he is on the bench to back up Matic and the CB's, Mou doesn't want to change positions during the game if Matic injures himself again. Azpi-plays because we have Cesc-Matic pivot, it's a top 6 team, so he is more careful with his selections. Unlucky Luis. Costa- our topscorer and a reason we are top, Mou wants him scoring again ASAP because we need him on fire in the final run. Oscar-Same as Costa, Mou wants him to perform again, cause he sees him as an important part of the team, Cuadrado must be patient. Ramires-will come on when we need to protect a lead, probably for Oscar/Willian.

I will remember him for his performances in the Stoke game at home last season, Swansea where he didn't finish his chances well but played good, his Arsenal goal and his superb pace.

If that's the case, so be it and good for him. It's not like he didn't receive enough chances here. He was the only attacking mid who played in his strongest position and got a lot of chances despite under performing. Schurrle never had a run in LW with our strongest team, Mata didn't get chances at 10 cause that position was granted to Oscar. Salah and KDB barely had any playing time.

I read it was something with his agent having his transfer rights (3rd party ownership) or something in that direction, which EPL doesn't tolerate.

Woot woot Burnley

1-0 Burnley

Ok forget about the fees.Which group of players is better in your honest opinion? A) Turnbull, KDB, Lukaku, Mata, Torres, Demba Ba, Lampard, Essien, Cole, Bertrand, Moses, Luiz. B ) Courtois, Zouma, Filipe Luis, Cuadrado, Matic, Willian, Fabregas, Diego Costa, Remy, Drogba.

In:Matic-key player, best DM in the league Cesc-key player, missing creative maestro Costa-deadly striker, fighter, leader Filipe-WC left back, great player Remy-great versatile second striker Drogba-brought back a legend, dressing room leader, beast in air, late game winner Willian-battery, important for our style of play Zouma-great talented CB, with bright future Cuadrado: too early to judge In+out (incl loan): Schurrle-didn't work out but we made profit Salah-not received enough chances, but still our player Eto'o-great stop-gap signing for cheap, scored in many big games Van Ginkel-unlucky with injuries Out: Lukaku: sold for a superb price KDB: turned out into the player we expected, but the price was right at the time Luiz: big jackpot on an error prone clown Mata: big profit on a good player, 50-50 case Demba Ba: sold for low value Torres: managed to dump our most frustrating player ever Bertrand: not better than Luis or Azpi, Ake could play his squad role. Essien, Lampard and Cole all left but could've stayed as squad players. But we can't block their last adventure, can we? Net spend like £36M in 2 years and we've improved our first team+squad players. Even the BS Sky pundits mentioned us as the winners of the transfer windows, what do you want?

Think Matic was not 100%, normally he'd have subbed Zouma for Ramires I think.

No one booed him from the beginning, he did it himself. He provoked Diego all the time, elbowed him, and other dirty tricks. He played mind games before and after the game, ''Jose is not special'', ''I know how he will play'', ''Chelsea sold me for too cheap''. I don't even know why he apologized, the way he celebrated like it was the WC winner, that overreacting was disgusting. It's just like saying ''I'm sorry for banging your wife, but I was very emotional and horny at the moment'' I liked and missed the geezer but that's past tense now, he's not a traitor but just an uber clown without respect.

I have a lot of respect for him and admire him. He's not a natural RW which many people forgets, he was a 10/LW at Shakthar. But he put away his pride and converted himself into a hard working maniac on the right side, he sacrifices himself for the team. Cech said this:''I never thought I would see anyone running more than Ramires, but then I saw Willian.'' He's like KDB, Mata, Schurrle, played out of position on the RW, but he is the only one who survived this. Salah and KDB didn't get fair chances though. I agree with many of you, I'd love him to take more risks if he keeps playing at the RW but we can't blame him that he doesn't have the skill-set of a traditional winger. If you want to get the best out of him, attacking wise, he should play behind the striker as a 10. He's done this last season vs City + Stoke, and this season vs Everton and played very well. But Mou might need to drop Ivanovic if he does this, or play Ramires on the RW.

Yeah normally I'd say JT instead of Zouma, but don't think the current JT fits in your system. And about Verrati, he should've received 2 red cards in the first leg, and 1 in the second leg. All he did was kicking our players, he's indeed a very talented player with great future. But if you need to choose a player with a killer pass, would you rather have Pastore of Verrati?

And a League cup after the beating first teams of Spurs and Liverpool.
