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.

He scored 20 in 26. That's an outstanding ratio whether you like it or not. 36 goals the season before that, arguably the most important player in his team - fired his team to the title and to the CL final. Before that, played out wide and scored 20. 5 games into the season and apparently Lukaku is a better striker than him. I'm taking everything you say about Costa with a pinch of salt anyway, since you think Lukaku is a better player than him.

What in God's name has Lukaku done for him to be even considered better than Costa?! Just wow, some people have very, very short term memory.

On Lukaku - not sure what you're on about. He was very invisible in the game.

Of course. He was on the bench the other day.

Don't agree with Pac on his Costa ratings but Soldado, Negredo, Kane - none of them fired their teams to titles like Costa did. Poor examples tbh.

Well, you're a Play Musonda connoisseur, I'm more team PLAY MUSONDA. I wouldn't say plagiarism, more like inspiration.

People need to look past the players tbh. The reason so many of our top players are under performing massively comes down to one man mainly IMO.

PLAY MUSONDA.

He won't get sacked, I feel like we're going to stick with Jose at least until the end of the season. This is very unacceptable though.

Do you know what. It isn't his fault that the manager can't see past his faults and continues to pick him. Another woeful performance.

No, we can discuss that in the Mourinho thread.

The players look devoid, not motivated to turn this around at all. We were happy at 2-1. We can't create anything decent. Another game where we just haven't created a good opportunity.

My God. Martinez will love this.

Unbelievable.

Just on Falcao?

Why did Ivanovic not release Pedro?

Kenedy - Hazard - Pedro. Interesting.
