As is tradition for Chelsea CBs.

Yeah, don't think anyone expects him to keep this up. If you just want to see the types of finishes, he's capable of, you can check his highlights from the Chelsea youth games. He's definitely capable of more than just tap-ins. It's his all around game is what I'm looking to assess because that's what he needs make it at Chelsea. This is where Bamford was poor even though he was scoring a lot as well.

Damn, they're going gaga over him. Would love to re-watch this match. Any chance there is a way to find this match for download?

He didn't have a horrible game. But when you watch him at his best, it's hard to accept a performance like that because it was clear that it could have been a much better game if he was more determined. Wish he had Sanchez's mentality. Dude is always so confident and never shy to force something. Don't think it'll chance now though, it's too late. Still a world class player though.

Wtf is going on? Dude must be thinking every shot he takes will be a goal now. Confidence must be sky high.

Not the match for Alonso. Mane is the one that scares me the most so rather keep Azpi against him. Probably keep the same lineup, Luiz for Terry if he's injured, or Cahill if Terry is fit.

Every single point we have this season has been decided by Costa.

He was amazing. MOTM. Give me a break, go cry in some other thread.

What a goal. Amazing form right now. Not sure if he'll ever be good enough to warrant a buy back to Chelsea. But would be great to at least see both Hazards on the same Belgian national team at least.

Starting lineup was stupid. But I thought made a great adjustment in the second half. Moved to a 4-3-3 and pushed both Fellaini and Pogba forward right off Ibra and just went direct. Almost paid off. Didn't pay off today, but that's a great adjustment that can easily get United tons of goals.

Capoue can't stop scoring. In the form of his life.

If you're going to play Willian as a wing back, why not switch with Azpi? I like the 3-4-3 also. Courtois Zouma - Christensen - Luiz Azpi - Kante - Fabregas - Willian Traore - Costa - Hazard

It probably is, if he actually wanted those scrubs we could have got both of them easily this past transfer window.

I'm actually glad. We get to keep Costa and Hazard. Def would rather keep them than replace with Griezmann and James.

He's left footed? I thought he was right.

Griezmann should not be played out wide. At all! Should play as a SS, or in the #10 position at worst. We'd have to switch to a 2 forward formation or back to the 4-2-3-1. If we got money for Griezmann, I rather just keep Costa and spend that money on a genuine world class right winger. Get Alexis Sanchez.

Too bad Granada play utterly shite football. Hopefully, with all the new loans they got, they start playing better. The more they start playing possession, the more chances for Boga. Musonda better start scoring goals cause if Boga outscores him this season, I'd put Boga ahead of Musonda.

It's gotta be someone who will play often and looks like a leader. Courtois always comes across as very professional and isn't afraid to be outspoken. After him, depending on his season, Luiz could be the other option.

There are 3 types of defenders really. A proper ball playing CB, which is Luiz. Then you have one who cant really bring the ball out of defence but has a decent passing repertoire, which is Terry. Lastly, the guy who just keeps it simple, which is Zouma or Cahill. So it doesn't really matter if you think Cahill does more than Zouma, they're still firmly in the third tier who can't really do much with the ball. Keep it simple, with the occasional long diagonal, which both Zouma and Cahill have in their locker.

Primarily cause the other LBs were off form. He's not a bad player, but he's def not a great player. He hasn't even been starting lately, is he injured, or did he get benched for Targett?

I'd love to see United lose, but I think the better result would be draw or a united win. I think United are more likely to drop points at other times, whereas I see city steam rolling most of their opponents. If city don't drop points against some of the best teams, not sure when they're going to drop points.

Based on YouTube he looks like he's very good on the ball and strong. Wish I could find videos of his 1 on 1 defending.

Martinez used to play 3 at the back with Wigan, right? Try that with Belgium if you can't find even a Sunday league level fullback.
