I would take Costa off. Bit disgraceful tbh. Love him to bits but that was not nice.

Can we not insult someone for having a different opinion.

Is that a long ball from Fabregas?!

Strangely, we never used to start Oscar in big games much last year. Would still like Oscar to improve the accuracy of his passes though, misplaces too many simple ones.

Fabregas is having a good (big) game. Finally.

We would've rested him against Maccabi if that was the case then.

I would love it if they were out high up in The West Stand tbh.

Hazard really isn't suffering from burn out, he's low on confidence. When your best player is low on confidence you play him into form. Can't believe people want him dropped.

I really like how he's ambidextrous but I personally thought he was quite poor, perhaps a bit too nervous. He showed a couple of encouraging things but he didn't do much to definitely displace Ivanovic unfortunately.

He's built on his performance/cameo against Crystal Palace where myself and quite a few around me at the Bridge thought he did great. Keep it going Ruben.

FM 2015.

Really good game from him.

Inverted wing backs ftw.

Time to shine Bab(y)a. (I'll get my coat)

Well Ivanovic made the wrong decision to pass to Costa in the first place. It was very poor from Ivanovic. Ivanovic has been the poorest performers in the team, of course he'll get slack for that. Most of our goals conceded this season - he's played a huge part in them.

Laughed.

Sigh.

Our problems run far deeper than that though. Moses wouldn't have solved anything in those games IMO. If we can't get the best out of players like Hazard, Costa, Fabregas etc. it isn't the case of getting a player in instead of them - it's a lot deeper than that. Sorry, I just don't believe Moses would've changed any of those results.

So because someone thinks otherwise they're stupid? Just relax a bit.

What "idiotic" comments are you exactly talking about? Who's "stupidly" running their mouths?

Is Moses better than Pedro though? Why are people even complaining? Who's he coming to replace?

Yup, my exact thoughts.

Did Drogba always dominate defenders? In every single game? He'll never replace Drogba, what sort of statement is that? They're different sort of players.

Sorry, this isn't true either. How many times in Didier's career did people get annoyed at him for not being up for it enough? People are forgetting Drogba's bad bits. It was always about whether he was in the mood or not. I know Didier's your favourite player but stop acting like he had no flaws.

In the second half of last season (2015) he scored 7 goals and assisted 2 times in the PL. In 10 games. He wasn't poor. He was struggling with injuries but still managed to get those numbers.PS. Quite funny how you've gone from Lukaku's all round play being much better than Costa's to Costa's not being that much better... Lukaku could never play on the wing and be a vital cog in the system like Costa was in 2012/13.
