José is getting exposed big time for his lack of tactics and imagination.

Oscar's reputation continues to get better the longer he's out.

We're going to have this turtle waddling about in midfield for the next few years because he's too big a name to be dropped. Such a depressing thought.

Hazard is by all accounts a good guy but don't let that fool you into thinking he won't do what's best for his career.

This is the year methinks.

It was such shit timing. Won the league by being the best out of a bad bunch and dumped out of Europe by 10 man PSG. He had another 2 years and constantly said in the media he wouldn't leave unless the club let him go. What was the rush? Now we are stuck with a short-term manager on long-term deal.

Emenalo on why the timing wasn't right for Cuarado: One defeat and Mourinho completely halted the development of the team.

Costa is struggling badly but I'm keeping the faith.

Yeah. In January.

Just leave both out...

You are right but even then Fabregas has been massively found out.

I'm genuinely expecting a defeat.

People acting like it's a few games when we've playing badly all calendar year. Winning an extremely weak league last year set us up for failure.

We used to play terrible and win. Now we play terrible football and lose.

#MourinhoOut

We're really going to miss all that, er, balance Oscar provides.

Neymar is better at playing with Messi and Suarez than Hazard. When has Hazard ever played well with Messi and Suarez? Exactly. Never. Neymar is clearly better.

Damn. José can get Willian to cover Ivanovic but can't get his daughter to cover up.

That's the issue though: Fabregas is supposed to be our play-maker and we are anything but a well-oiled machine.

Just set the series link for the French League review and Live Ligue 1 games.

Yes Papy!

This is why he needs minutes and high level coaching to take him to the next level. Two things I'm not sure he will get unfortunately.

This guy just needs to be played and he will find himself. He just needs to be given the platform and the trust.

Sure, why not? A good agent could parlay Ruben's reputation as a budding prospect into a move to a top club.

Passive-aggressive move by José - he clearly didn't want the player. Leaving Papy out for Traore who probably won't be seen again until he leaves for Vitesse in January haha.
