  1. Yeah, would like to see a rotation in the XI on this one. Costa, Fabregas, Matic, Ivanovic and Hazard all deserve a nice rest.
  2. This is the level I want to see him play at every week at least. I know he's capable.
  3. Incredible player really, crazy how he just completely fits us as a team. Continues this and he could easily reach Osgood/Drogba status.
  4. Even if we went 2 down I would've still maintained we could've equalised at the least. We've got goals in the team now.
  5. For me quite the contrary. For once in a very long time I was actually very confident we'd at least score 2. Couldn't say that last season.
  6. I never said that. I meant that if we want to maximise our attacking talent then we will look shaky at the back now and then. It's really just basic football ergonomics.
  7. What do you want though? Do you want us to remain a solid defensive team that nicks goals here and there or do you want us to actually utilise the attacking talent in our squad? If it's the latter, you can't expect us to remain as solid as the back as last season...
  8. Hmm I don't see that. Him and Ramires are alternating. You'll find Cesc fairly deep sometimes, and sometimes you'll find him forward. But of course in a 4-3-3 he'll have shared his defensive responsibility more so doesn't have to worry about his defensive game as much. Cesc was very average as an attacking midfielder against Everton if you don't remember. I wouldn't go as far as saying he's definitely better as a AM than at CM. It depends on the situation.
  9. It's the start of the season, of course we're not going to be perfect ffs. If you haven't seen any promising signs you haven't been watching us at all.
  10. He's still playing as a CM, we're playing a 4-3-3.
  11. Yeah, against teams that can play, like Swansea, I definitely agree with that. But against the lower half of the PL we should just play Cesc - Matic (and Matic needs to step his game up a bit).
  12. Ramires was a great sub, we already have a lot more control over the game.
  13. Are you expecting us to steam roll a team that is joint top 5-0?
  14. I agree. Expect Ramires to come on to provide more balance.
  15. People have been screaming for more attacking football but refuse to understand that that means we'll naturally be more vulnerable at the back. Some on here just don't understand the mechanics of football at all.
  16. If Hazard performs like this for the majority of the season I'll be very happy.
  17. You're overreacting so much it's ridiculous. Sorry, what many flaws are there in the team? You do know we're facing a decent team here? This is ridiculous.
  18. I disagree, Fabregas has worked very hard today, he's been everywhere. Matic hasn't performed well today.
  19. You do realise before today we were probably the most exciting team in the league?
  20. I'm not worried... We've got goals in the team.
  21. When people talk about Lukaku's technique it's never about his shooting technique.....
