Thankfully we don't need to ask you that.

So? What relevance does a 24 year old playing in a far better team have to a 19 year old playing in an inferior one? Why can't the people who call Sterling overrated come up with the names of some better players of that age right now in England?

Hazard would never start for Madrid? Lol. Robben couldn't either - that hasn't turned out too shabbily. Football doesn't revolve around Madrid.

Funny thing is the same people over analyzing and nit picking aspects of his play are the same ones who'd be pining for him were he not a CFC player right now. The kid is 23. He's having his best season here so far. He's enthusiastic. He's improving all the time. Yet the first post here after a game reads 'woeful finishing'. Being the best player in the team and one of the best in the world brings expectations - that's natural ... but some people on this forum somehow always keep missing the woods for the trees when it comes to Hazard.

Aguero's so good at saving Pellegrino's ass. It's a simple straight ball over the top. Deal with it FFS"

HAHAHA YES! Take that you twat Demichelis.

Mark Noble should have had a moderately long England career. Quite an underrated player over the years.

Woeful is a bit strong. The first chance was a good block from Johnson. The second he could have been a bit cleverer and taken Johnson out of the game by taking another touch. The third time he did wonderfully to drive into the box and should have passed to Ramires who was open on the far post. At least he's starting to really drive at players and looking to commit them and force the initiative. Finishing will come with some luck and in time. I'm happy with the ambition; there's a marked change in mentality.

I'm still getting used to not pinching myself when a striker scores a goal.

What an idiot Cahill was there towards the end. Unpardonable mistake but thankfully the ref bottled it.

Don't quit your day job

Hummels? Needs to sort himself out. Always a brainfart waiting to happen.

Gut feel says we'll drop points today.

BRB getting some tissues

I prefer Spider Someone make that in blue, please.

Why are 26 year old writing autobiographies?

Did I miss something? Was there a straight choice between Sanchez and Willian in which we passed up on the Chilean?

In Ars3n3 We Trust.

Start a strong team, blitz them in the first 45', drop the gears and cruise through the second.

Modric has been the better player over the last 18 months or so. I think that has to be acknowledged. Regardless, Cesc fits us like a glove and the difference is not big to begin with. What does Guardiola signing or not signing anyone have to do with anything, though? He told Eto'o to fuck off and the latter immediately won the treble. With Zlatan, he couldn't deal with one of the most outstanding players in 21st century European football. You're going down a dangerous route if you start judging players by who they were wanted or not wanted by. And Thiago, really? First let him do something in the mickey mouse bundesliga, then we'll talk.

It's okay though because he's One Of Us.

Hazard wouldn't start over James and yet wasn't it Zidane who said Real would take him 'with closed eyes'? And this was several years ago too, so if you think Hazard has actually regressed in that timeframe ... you're a special snowflake.

Why are away fans allowed to stand and the home fans not?
