  1. When you think about it, we don't have any real counter attacking threats going forward (unless when Schurrle is on), hence why I think Reus is a must buy because he'd add so much versatility to our game.
  2. Even then, I don't think we can compare Oscar's and Willian's roles at number 10 to Fabregas'. Against Sporting, Fab played a lot more like a true number 10 since he effectively had two shields in Matic and Mikel behind him. He wasn't given the same duties as Willian or Oscar would usually have at #10.
  3. Not when we're going forward. Fabregas controlled the game at the number 10 last game. I do agree he's better for us deeper but that doesn't mean he won't perform well in a more advanced position.
  4. We could possibly sell him and attach a buy back clause...
  5. He is still better on the right for me.
  6. Solanke is a quality talent no question, doesn't have any weakness to his game whatsoever. If he develops well we'll have a very special player in the ranks.
  7. No idea what you're talking about. Fabregas had a good game and looked comfortable.
  8. Still feel like JT is underrated in general. Said it before but the best English CB in the PL era for me, based on his consistency especially. He's again having one of his best seasons and he's 34 now, it's incredible.
  9. Next season I'd be looking at signing A CB, A ST to replace Drogba and Reus. We don't need anything else IMO - I'd rather have the likes of Boga, RLC, Ake, Baker etc. develop - truly think they can fill in enough.
  10. Luiz has been very, very solid for PSG. One mistake in months and the haters are out again in full force... Gary Cahill would be slaughtered on a regular basis in a system like PSG's.
  11. Summed it up perfectly for me, just couldn't be bothered typing this out.
  12. He was excellent yesterday, much better Mo. Glad he and Schurrle stepped it up.
  13. He has to play against the buses, so comfy on the ball.
  14. Really happy with his development but I'm not surprised. Once he fully settles in he'll definitely displace Cahill.
  15. People need to stop seeing Mikel as a direct replacement for Matic. They're very different. You can't seriously expect Matic like things from Mikel, that's ridiculous.
  16. He's had two decent games in a row. Impressive considering he barely had any game time before.
  17. Love, love, love this lad. I repeat, him and Boga have to make it here. Absolutely bossed it in his 10 minute cameo.
  18. Have you seen how easy their run in is? I highly doubt not making the CL knockouts will demoralise them enough not to beat the team's their facing.
  19. It's much worse for us if they have the ability to prepare for games for a good week during the crunch period of the season whilst we have to prepare for mid week games.
  20. I'm loving the high intensity press today. Definitely missed that against Newcastle.
  21. I really want to see what Azpi and Luis looks like with our first 11.
  22. Costa struggling a lot to be honest but what I like is how he isn't giving up. He's a bit out of form atm so things aren't happening but I'd rather him get played into form against a team like Sporting. Just needs a bit of luck.
  23. He doesn't have to be English to understand it lol, don't be ridiculous. You're stupid if you thought RLC would start today though...
