The Skipper

Didn't catch the second half but thought he was okay in the first. Must've been anonymous in the 2nd though based on the comments here.

Assist from Romelu. He's looked very tidy today in possession. Hope he can add a goal to his decent performance.

What, so people who don't want to see Luiz at DM are Mikel fan boys? It has more to do with Matic signing. That's why people are hoping he doesn't play there anymore.

LOL sure, if that's what really you want Jay!

that will do as well actually. For a whole week. Whaddya say Jay?

LOL. I actually miss this guy. #BringBackBackstreet

I realise that, and still think that it's because it's been beaten into him that he must clear the ball more often than not.

He's stalled. Solanke looks more promising this season.

It's the result of him being scrutinised for trying to keep possession. Before, him not clearing it was a problem. Now it's the other way around.

If we win will you promise to stop calling me out?

Schurrle's there too. I'm sure we'll be okay for a few weeks.

I'll do Man City.

Didn't happen as usual. Ban yourself mate

Another mention that we've got a big signing in the pipeline by the guy on the transfer window thing on SSN. It won't be a striker, I think it's either a LB (Shaw) or a CB (Zouma).

One thing I would like to see Mourinho try is Mata at number 10 with Willian and Hazard out wide, and with a solid pivot like Matic and Mikel behind them. I think that would be interesting to see but doubt it will ever happen. Mata isn't as great as anyone else in his defensive responsibilities but he isn't that much of a liability.

You obviously haven't watched Shaw if you've never seen him glide past players (he's even done it versus us on numerous occasions). Luke Shaw is a technical, attacking fullback, that's what he's known for. If you don't think that's the case then you should go watch him more often.

Ramires has a decent cross and from time to time can finish brilliantly. He isn't as poor as Ivanovic is technically.

In the form of his life. Well in Gary.

Not a DM at all. Even the way he moves with the ball there - it's clear that he's a CB playing DM.

Apparently he's completely useless and should be sold (even though he only has 6 months left on his contract) to some...

We didn't even have to get out of first gear to win that. That was so easy.

I agree. Should've taken off Luiz for Mikel or Matic earlier. It was inevitable they were going to score with the way we were just handing over possession.

Lionel CECH.

Bring on Matic.
