The Skipper

Sorry, Theo has "moaned" as much as Sturridge when it comes to playing upfront.

I'd rather see us go for Darren Bent tbh.

All fluidity in play has been lost.

Big Vic's coming on.

Haha, gotta love Paulo!

Corona is a decent player.

Luiz looks a bit tired, good sub from Rafa.

GET MIKEL TO SCORE

Mikel and Luiz have absolutely bossed the midfield. Two massive units.

Torres has now equaled his goal scoring record from last season.

Brilliant pass from Torres mind.

Lmao.

Brilliant from Oscar and Ashley. Easy finish for Mata who's in fine goal scoring form!

Quotes aren't working properly on the Safari mobile skin?

Yeah. It looks that way to me.<br /> Already a few killer balls from him, good tackles, good passing.<br /> (Please no one add 20 pictures with a 2,000 word essay as to how he's better suited to defence.)</p></blockquote> I hate to say it but he looks very good so far. Whether he'd be able to translate that to the Premier League is still uncertain but he is looking very comfortable there.

Luiz is looking like a boss in midfield ATM.

Wow from Luiz. Great skill & pass and Hazard should've really finished that... This is why I say he should improve his finishing.

Great effort from Luiz!

Good start from us, excellent pressure.

Interesting team selection.

Good point, but tbh Drogba's diving antics were overrated. He never really dived - he just overdramatised sometimes. Try and find me a video of Drogba's legitimately diving and I'm sure you won't find any. Busquets on the other hand does have some really bad examples but that doesn't take away from the player he is which is what you're saying too, and I fully agree on that.

Thanks, I'm sure everyone agrees. Now back to Busquets talk.

Same one you're on I guess. He's right though, IMO there's a bigger possibility Yaya would come over Busquets, it's pretty self explanatory as to why...

Bring Chalobah back in or buy a new DM? Decision time for the board.
