The Skipper

I sincerely hope this is the case.

I thought I was the only one.

We really should've just signed him instead of Salah...

Are you saying Salah is better than Sterling or...

Sterling wouldn't be bad here at all, many people forget the kid is only 20 and already one of the best players in the PL. He would grow massively under Jose as well. Hazard - Willian - Sterling is not bad at all.

Me? The defending for the goal was poor.

Very poor defending tbh, but he is scoring.

I doubt it, but if he does, good for us.

I cannot believe Jose is betting on Oscar to have a revolutionary season like Hazard did this year next season...

And people were slated people such as myself, Barbara, Styles etc. when we said this wouldn't be a good signing and that he's not even better than Willian... Smh.

Sigh, Oscar is not in the same talent pool Eden is. I hope Mourinho isn't betting on him.

He played as a 6. Go watch his performance again and you'll notice that even Mikel was ahead of him most of the game. If he was playing as an 8, he would've been given the freedom to make his trademark power runs but he didn't. It was clear Mourinho instructed him to keep it safe and simple. If you watched his 10 mins in the CL you'll see that he plays as an 8 there.

If Pogba plays as a number 6 and his freedom was shackled he wouldn't have much influence going forward either.

He was playing in the number 6 role.

Easily Mikel tbh.

He's put in some beauties before. I honestly just blame his below par performance on the fact that he hasn't played in months.

Striker-less?

I sincerely doubt that if we were missing Azpi for several games that we wouldn't win the title. Luis has done a solid job whenever he did get an extended run in - he isn't a bad player. Luis is not a bad player ffs. Can't believe he's being judged off one game in 2/3 months.

Must say over the last few weeks, Willian has been our best attacker.

Hazard has been AWFUL.

He's hardly been putting in match winning performances now has he? Azpi has been solid but lets not overstate it now shall we.

Shame that Mikel didn't go off.

What a strike from Willian.

I would love to see Azpi not play for 2 months and see whether he comes in and puts in a great performance as well. Can't believe people are actually comparing. Ivanovic for example makes so many mistakes that actually lead to goals.

He's never had a fair chance. Even if he plays extremely well he gets dropped the next game.
