Van Ginkel is going to have a big, big role to play next season. Moses MOTM. Smashed it when he came on.

There we go!

How is Ramires still running at full pace? Unbelievable. Did he start the game or?

If Ramires had that consistent ability to provide that final pass he'd be the best midfielder in the world IMO.

Imagine Mourinho does the impossible and gets Torres firing.

A fit Schurrle would've had 2 by now. He normally puts those away. Ah well this is what pre-season is for.

Was about to say that.

What a pass that was from Juan. Unlucky. Should've been 2. He normally scores those.

We need Lukaku on to take advantage of these counter attacks.

I didn't really watch the first half unfortunately!

Torres = Messi.

We've taken off Hazard, Oscar and KDB and our team still looks very strong. Love it.

Moses has started well.

LOOOL oh. Yes, that's me .

No, it actually isn't. The Dutch "uy" (or"ui") is closely pronounced as "ei" in English. People pronounce it wrong all the time, don't worry . Don't blame you though when the commentators can't even pronounce it properly. It's annoying though, you'd think they'd at least do a bit of research beforehand. Why do you say so?

It's De-Brei-Nuh.

As Kojo said above, it's his reaction after the penalty missed that irked me even more. Celebrating his cheating, no shame or remorse. For that, he's an utter scumbag in my eyes. Yes, football is a game but cheating like that and then celebrating is very disgusting IMO. I only used that video to display one of the many occasions he's been an absolute scumbag. I already knew he was one before that incident.

We don't need a 20 goal player from the pivot when we've got Mata and Hazard in attacking mid already who should provide at least 30-40 goals combined.

He does not because he's instructed not to. He's the holding midfielder. He certainly has the ability to carry the ball, he does it all the time for Nigeria. So it isn't a "failing".

Well, there in lies the problem then. Personally, I never expected Moses to be anything more than a good squad player, someone who could fill in when he's needed and in that sense he's performed well. Okay, in the PL he wasn't as good but he wasn't consistently picked - as mentioned before by a few members here he still stepped up when he was picked in the domestic cups and Europa League and his production out in these competitions allowed us to rest key players for the more important PL games so IMO he's been a good signing. To say he didn't contribute anything just because most of his goals and assists came out of the PL is ludicrous I think. I think he's a much better fit than Kalou for our squad as he is an actual winger - Kalou was a striker first and foremost that was forced out wide. The problem with Kalou was that he was considered a special player for the future but he just failed to live up to his hype, hence why he got loathed so often however everyone knows the Moses buy was for the squad and that's why no one gives him as much grief.

He never said that. Such a misleading headline. Unbelievable Sky Sports.

Again, my question is, how do you know Rooney's on £250k when reports have him closer to the £200k mark?

Lampard has taken so many more though.

Again. How the hell do you know Rooney will be on £250k a week?

Moses had a poor season last year? Are people expecting him to be Messi or something?
