The Skipper

People always refuse to believe that when Willian isn't constricted to the RW defensive role that he can actually cause damage going forward. Still think Willian is the best option as our number 10, he seems to be a lot more comfortable on the left/centre where he can essentially cut in and utilise his skill set more.

Understatement.

What a chance. For fuck sake Ramires.

About time that Coquelin got a yellow, thug.

We're really missing that killer instinct up front, Oscar is trying his best though.

We really need to get Eden on the ball more.

Michael Oliver is actually a very good referee, just made a mistake with the pen appeals. Apart from that he's let the game flow decently.

He definitely has, brilliant is over stretching it though.

Wasn't a dive either. Great.

You must have very, very low expectations.

Should've been a pen tbh.

Ivanovic vs. Sanchez. God help us.

I sincerely hope not. We need Hazard deeper so he can get on the ball. He can't play false 9 if he has a number 10 behind him either. That doesn't work - the space he'd drop off into would be too occupied.

The fact that some on here think Coutinho had a good season was more of a by-the-way point tbh. Personally, I don't think he's been great, he's been okay, but you really shouldn't be slating people on here for that. The reason why he's in the PFA Team of the Year is because his fellow professional have voted him to be in there. Have a go at them.

He could've played mind games just as effective without involving Solanke tbh.

Fair enough. He talked about how he called up Solanke from the U21 (hence why he didn't play in the most recent U21 game) because Remy and Costa are out - and he said that he'll choose between Solanke and Costa for the bench (depending on whether Costa is fit or not) but obviously that did not happen, it's just a bit annoying for Dom really. Jose should've just left him with the U21s/youth team to train since they have a final tomorrow.

Definitely not. Both Remy and Costa are out indefinitely, we have no choice to play Drogba as a ST really.

Did you not see Jose's comments re: Solanke?

I hope it's Oscar playing furthest forward, and not Hazard. We need to station Hazard deeper to create.

I understand that, believe me. Never expected Jose to play Solanke at all. Just a bit annoying for Dominic that he was given that false hope. Jose didn't need to call him up from the U21s.

Poor Solanke doesn't even make the bench. Shame. Don't understand why he got called up from the U21s if Jose was going to experiment with the false 9.

Not necessarily targeted at you only Barb, but you do know the PFA team of the year is decided by the PL footballers right? He got voted in by his fellow pros. Blame his fellow footballers if anything, it's really unfair to have a pop to some people on here because some of them think Coutinho has had a good season.

I was actually campaigning for it before we signed Salah . Oh well! (as if whatever I say makes a difference )

Should have been bought instead of Salah I think.

Or possibly they could go 4-2-3-1: Rooney Depay - Di Maria - Mata Gundogan - Carrick Back 5.
