The Skipper

I thought he was brilliant tonight, looked like a true number 10 and really dictated the game for us until he went off. Great performance, his pass to Willian which set up the Schurrle chance was fantastic.

Love this guy.

Absolute hero, my MOTM for stepping up and not being intimidated about replacing Hazard in the team when we needed him the most. I absolutely love his movement and his cold, cold finishing. What a baller.

way to answer the critics Petr.

David's best game of the year, was dynamic, composed, intercepted excellently, drove the team on, passed well, filled out well at CB when Cahill or JT went up... Hope people are reminded of how good this guy can be when he's on form. Like I always say, he's always fantastic in the big games. Great performance David, way to shut up your critics.

Ivanovic is costing us in possession. Ffs.

Should've put him on for Eto'o.

If only we were this focused in the first game.

LOL.

Where was Ivanovic?

Wasn't a pen IMO, Schurrle lost the ball before the contact.

Set pieces will win us this.

If Luke Shaw is anything over £20m then I agree. If not, then we should go for Luke. We need HG talent and Luke is already one of the best LBs in the league.

Blame Wenger for his squad being soft, not the players. Can't believe people here would turn down players like Ramsey, Wilshere or Chambo.

Cech Ivan - Cahill - JT - Azpi Mikel - Luiz Willian - Oscar - Hazard Eto'o Bring on Lampard and Schurrle if we need another goal.

Glad you enjoyed your trip pal, the bridge is a special place. Regarding Torres, it's ridiculous right? Probably the only thing that annoys me when I'm there.

Cruijf is an idiot, sprouts a lot of crap and thinks every club in the world should be operated like Barcelona.

...Because Aguero's been injured for most of it. 47 apps, 27 goals for Sergio. Only 3 behind Romelu has 30 in 60, 13 more appearances.

I too see him as an #8.

Let me rephrase - if we got a WC striker in and Lukaku wasn't ready to accept a number two role here (just hypothetically) would you then do it?

Just Wilshere or Ramsey, I think either would be fantastic next to Matic in the pivot.

Would anyone swap him for Lukaku?

Hazard, Azpi, Matic.

My team if Eto'o really isn't fit: Cech Ivan - Cahill - JT - Azpi Mikel - Luiz Willian - Oscar - Hazard Torres

Matic is also a very complete player but he's a number 6, just like Javi Martinez is. They are very similar players, but I think Javi has a bit more going on for him defensively while Matic has more finesse about him. He's definitely no Schweinsteiger, not in that mold at all. I wouldn't sign him to play next to Matic because they're both too similar to each other, both number 6s. Signing him would be very bad because we already have Matic.
