In that case then Rooney is the best striker in the world

Erm from my view the fullbacks played excellently but OK...

Lewis Baker still could come good. Needs minutes in a top flight team - Porto or somewhere like that would have been perfect for his development.

Are we letting Wimbledon share?

Needless to say, I disagree.

I think the answer is a proper diamond myself... -----------Courtois Azpi. Zouma. Terry. Baba ------------Cescy ------Matic. Willian -------------RLC -------Costa. X new striker

Recall him.

In his current form I'd rather put Pedro up front in favour of Diego... Fabregas should be recalled.

Afaik the fact he's not be been playing well is a lot of the reason why we've been playing badly...

Notice how his thread turns quiet when he actually plays well.

Semi final 2004 - knocked out by a ghost goal. 2014 - knocked out by an atleti team that won their league that year. Many other times we have been in the QFs under Jose. Your point is irrelevant.

Push on and get a proven goalscorer to partner Diego up front, RLC, Matic and a proper box to box mid (Carvalho?) and Mikel as midfield options as well as getting Courtois back and we can salvage this season. Still 90 points to play for.

Yeah I thought he did okay, I think it was a case of Shaq being excellent as opposed to Baba being poor.

You are blinded by hatred if you believe that Jose does not value his coaches' opinion.

i think that we are trying to play attacking football - we don't have anybody to score, that is the matter of it, our AMs are getting into good positions but they can't kill it- last season it was enough to rely on Costa to put it away, but now it's not good enough. See a different striker up front (or even play 4-4-2) and RLC in midfield and I believe we are making strides forward. I'm a fan of Lacazette, he'd be a good option imo. Him and Costa up front would be damn good. Kenedy on that wing!!!

I really like that - bring the lion back on the socks too

Begovic Azpi Zouma Terry Baba RLC Matic Kenedy Willian Hazard Pedro

I remember the Leicester board being criticised by all the pundits for hiring Ranieri - how wrong they were!

niiiiiiice! Bench?

Not in my opinion.

Nearly as good as the aguero tackle

I thought he did a good job last night, as well as covering for Baba too. He's determined and nobody can question that.

Begovic Azpi Zouma Terry Baba RLC Mikel Willian Cesc Oscar Costa Same again really, except Mikel for Matic who really wasn't very good last night.

Now that's something we can agree on - the second point, that is. Both can do a job, but we need better. Costa had to go out wide to receive the ball, consequently he was not in the box to score. I would say he needs to be benched for now, but we haven't got anybody better, so it's out of the question. Currently he is poor but to say he's a bad striker is a naive statement, we brought him in as the best striker on the market and he is capable of scoring.

I'd wager Oscar is a better attacker than Ramires any day. My point is that he was good tonight. And anyway, I'd prefer to get another striker and play 4-4-2 instead. Costa needs a partner to feed him in the box, and then he will be immense again, and the whole team needs another target in the box, Oscar is not going to win headers against a centre half 8 inches taller than him.
