Very true, but the key for him is to be more consistent, we know he has those great performances in him.

Just watching highlights from last season and saw the match when Hazard demolished West ham, it's a shame so far this season he's a shadow of that player... hopefully now he can kick on and be our BIG game player.

Fantastic tonight, IMO our best partnership is Cahill-Terry, they look so solid.

Imagine Messi against the likes of Norwich, Crystal Palace, Fulham, Cardiff, Newcastle, Aston Villa, West Ham, Hull, West Brom and Sunderland.... he would stand no chance.

Deserves to be dropped, been so poor this season. Cahill may not be as talented as Luiz but he's far more reliable.

I suggest you look back at some of your older posts. Now regarding this match, it's always hard to play at St James Park, but after our recent run i'm so confident we'll win, it's the Jose factor. Cech Iva - Luiz - Terry - Cole Ramires - Lampard Willian - Oscar/Mata - Hazard Torres

You serious? it was a lighthearted chant, definitely not taking it too far... When i heard it on TV i found it hilarious, kudos to all the supporters who went.

Judging on the two speculated teams we should win this one, i'm a tad optimistic but a 3-0 win will do nicely. KDB for MOTM, this will be his chance to prove to Mourinho he's ready for a place in our first eleven.

Really? i heard United was pretty poor and Southampton deserved the point...

No, that Arsenal goal is so much better.

Watching that Arsenal goal gave me a headache... what a goal, fucking hell.

For me, England WC> Chelsea CL. Although i'd rather watch Chelsea play, England winning the WC would be huge, it's something that everyone in the country can celebrate and be a part of unlike Chelsea winning the CL.

Not really, for the last two seasons he's shown his worth, in my opinion he's Englands best LB. Maybe Cole's better defensively (even though stats prove otherwise), but Baines offers so much more in attack.

Just saw this tweet - Belgium qualify for the World Cup just 3 years after they were ranked 62nd in the world. Its crazy how many good players they have.

My word! I think he's pretty shit, puts me asleep.

He started that match.

He still runs towards the ball far too often, also when there's a crossing opportunity he seems to wait outside the box for the pull back, it doesn't make sense considering he's the biggest guy on the pitch. Apart from that he was great, but we shouldn't go overboard, that Newcastle performance in the first half was diabolical.

Isn't it the other way? he's very poor defensively but decent when going forward, well he was, now he's woeful at both. To think i used to rate him, two years ago i even said he was one of the best RBs in the PL..

He's just having a bad game like many of our players... stop looking for excuses. The funny thing is, the people who want De Bruyne to start every game are the ones who make up all the excuses in the book for him when he's not been so good, yet they're so easy to judge the likes of Schurrle saying he's not good enough and that KDB should be playing instead... I have nothing against KDB, i like him! it's just some people here act like he's the second coming, and if he's having a bad game it's not his fault, it's the managers...

I don't really like to slate our players but for all this De Bruyne hype, he's been really poor so far. Edit - Goal. 1-0 Chelsea.

So whats this new philosophy Jose's trying to implement? are we going to try and play possession football, counter attacking, etc?

It's called rotation, you cant expect him to use the same eleven for every single match.

:LOL:

I'm not buying that, he's a defender, his job is to defend not go chasing the ball when he should be in our box. I'm not saying he was the worst but it was frustrating seeing him constantly run out to try and get the ball leaving our defenders vulnerable. His need to boot the ball up field is increasingly annoying as well, 9 times out of ten it's a poor pass.

You're a bit precious, aren't you? For the record i agree, it was just the way you wrote it.
