The Skipper

Drinkwater was the waste of money. Instead of having a midfield of let’s say RLC, Kante, Bakayoko, Fabregas & Vidal next year we’ll have Drinkwater instead.

Can play in a 3 or 2 in attack and also a 2 or 3 in midfield. Should be brought back instead of Barkley. If anything, we should maybe get Vidal in for a few seasons and have RLC understudy him. Sell Drinkwater. Then we’d have Vidal, Kante, Bakayoko, RLC and Cesc for CM. Much better than what we have now, and literally only bought in one player.

He’s been playing with an injury still all this time. Hope Drinkwater gets fit soon so he can have a better managed minutes off the pitch.

Please provide proof he’s lazy. Improve in what exactly? You’re acting like Martial is some 16 year old just breaking through for the academy . I’m not sure how saying Mourinho is rubbish at developing young (attacking especially) players equates to me saying that Martial shouldn’t do stuff off the ball. Edit: This is quite timely.

Don’t worry lads. Zidane is coming to CheLsea.

Yes, even players under Pep track back/press/work hard but you didn’t see Messi playing at LB for example right? He’s not lazy or selfish either - that’s a narrative Jose is trying to create as always - as a CFC fan who’s experienced that bullshit before (take a look at KDB who Jose tried to brand ‘lazy’) you should know better.

You think Dinho is mediocre? Wow.

Disagree. He’s Utd’s 2nd most talented player after Pogba. Jose has to find a way to put him in the 11. Jose kills attackers with this defensive responsibility nonsense.

Spot on. Add Martial to that. Shocking stuff.

Still can’t believe we dropped £40m on this guy just because he’s English.

Never said Jose doesn’t play youngsters. I think he’s just extremely bad at handling them. A few exceptions doesn’t change that.

Not bad. Raphaël Guerreiro shout I like - should be someone to target at LWB since Dortmund aren’t doing amazingly well. Can also fill in at CM.

Man Lucas is probably worse than Willian, would be a shocking buy.

Honestly, at this point I’d rather Özil (from Arsenal). Not a popular opinion but alas.

Praise where praise is due. If we had a strong LWB we’d complain about him a lot less imo.

Not a bad idea, but he’s declining. Wouldn’t you want someone else who’s still learning to be a leader (but has potential to be) to be groomed by someone like Azpi? We don’t really have that many leaders in the squad atm.

Didn’t really list Zouma as a youngster cos he was a highly rated youth bought to compete with the first team squad. Bailly is the same and joined United for big money. Rashford was brought through by Van Gaal. I’m pretty sure Rashford would probably be out on an obscure loan or something if he was managed under Jose during his breakthrough season.

Just imagining KDB still at CFC in the Cesc role. + feeding crosses to Morata. SMH Jose.

Willian doesn’t have the vision.

Hope this gets settled. Would also like to see Luiz in the LCB role. Might be perfect.

It’s his 3rd man runs that caused havoc today. In fact, he dragged Jones out of position with his run into the box for Morata’s goal.

Yup. Big performances against City, Spurs and now United. Comfortably.

A player that makes those around him play much much better. Top top player.

Ah he isn’t even in full flow yet. Hasn’t even developed his partnership with Morata. Fantastic performance.

Bullied Fellaini when he came on as well.
