  1. How do they? Spurs are in form, United aren't easy to beat... I'd say our run in is even slightly easier. Old Trafford away is a toughie. Spurs away is a toughie. Southampton and West Ham at home, Crystal Palace and Swansea away aren't exactly easy games either for them. Their run in is not easy.
  2. How's that an insult? Plenty of good players in the Europa League. To say Salah is much better than all of them? Must be kidding right?
  3. I'm not going to take Wikipedia or WAGNH over BBC, The Telegraph, Reuters, The Guardian etc.
  4. Please, Oscar has clocked nearly 2000 minutes this season, he's played regularly enough.The Mo Salah analogy is poor, I doubt Salah even got 2000 minutes in his whole CFC career.
  5. Almost every single source has it that we paid £25m for Oscar.Question for you. When we bought Oscar, what expectations did you have for him? Because many viewed him alongside with Hazard as our future stars. He isn't looking like he'll ever be as important as Eden to us though.
  6. Glad I wasn't the only one that commended his second half performance.
  7. It's so good seeing Jose this happy again.
  8. We didn't have the right players to go out there and dominate (No Matic, not even Mikel). I'm all for entertaining football but I can't blame Jose for being a bit more cautious on this one, especially considering we shipped 5 against this mid table team last time we did try to assert ourselves in the game. Besides, are you not entertained at all by the fact that we've won our first trophy in 2 years?
  9. Was very good defensively yesterday, must be said.
  10. Wasn't a pivot, more like an anchor in a midfield 3.
  11. I thought Cesc was really good today. Obviously restricted by our approach but still put himself about very well and his passing game was a joy to watch. He was great. MOTM has to go to either him, Azpi or JT for me.
  12. He was actually one of our best players today.
  13. That's like saying, "I like the thought of Courtois as a striker as long as he doesn't try to catch balls or prevent the opposition from scoring".
  14. No, they alternated. Lamps was B2B at times, so was Ramires. It wasn't as bad as you remember. Sure, they were awful some games but there were games where they played well. He can do a job there. If he does play there have faith.
  15. Ramires in the pivot as the destroyer is risky, but nowhere near as bad as some are trying to make it out to be on here. Remember the days of the Lampard - Ramires pivot? He's played okay there before. He can do a job.
  16. Who in what world calls Emre Can world class? He barely even starts for Liverpool. He's only been getting game time recently because Gerrard, Lucas and Henderson are injured. Posts like these are highly inaccurate and annoying.
  17. Kondogbia correct? Brilliant talent. Would be a great squad player here, also great back up to Matic.
  18. I'm trying to say, when Fabregas plays at his best - that's when we're truly an amazing team to watch. Not that when we play well he plays well.
