He does need to tone it down, one can argue he's always in control and knows what he's doing but he could have easily been sent of many times over the past two seasons just by being silly. I'm all for him riling up defenders but it simply goes overboard once he starts scratching, pushing, swinging his arms etc...

Brilliant today, arguably our best player.

How was it a shit perfomance? Jesus christ. Bar the first 10 minutes, in the first half 11v11 we were excellent, completely dominated Arsenal and should have had a pen. Hazard, Cesc, Pedro, Oscar and Costa all linked up well and we were playing some lovely stuff. When Arsenal went down to 10 and later on 9. understandably we stepped off the gas, the pressing was eased and we just kept the ball and made Arsenal work. Special mention to Cesc and Oscar, is it a coincidence once Oscar returns and puts in a defensive shift (noticeable covering Cesc when he went forward) that Fabregas returns to his best? i'm not sure but when on form Fabregas is majestic. Zouma with another brilliant perfomance, it's scary to think he's only 20, i still hope we go in for Stones in Jan because that partnership will be mouthwatering. Cahill gets a lot of flak but today he played well, it's great having a more proactive defence, both defenders wasn't afraid to push up and move out of defence with the ball. I also have to go on about this forum, people on this site are never happy, today when the team news came out certain members were literally calling for Jose' head there and then, it's pathetic, get behind the team ffs.

Why fuck are people giving up already? Ivan is starting? So what... Just support the fucking team.

He has so much talent, some one needs to tell him to be more hungry, control the game, ask for the ball more, beat men and for gods sake shoot. He's too passive for my liking. He needs that swagger and spite to his game, for me he's just too nice. Imagine if Hazard had Suarez's mentality, he'll be on a different level.

Linked with Verane, Stones, Laporte, Pogba, Griezman etc, end up with Djilbodji for a whopping 2.5m, the player Bournemouth, Norwich and Sunderland all turned down, fucking great.

DBZ was the show back in the day.

Lol this window has been hilariously horrendous.

Pathetic.

Upon all the negativity i have to say, how good was Kenedy and RLC? both played well.

We need more than Pogba at this moment in time. Shambles all over the pitch.

Was he even playing? I seriously wish he had a better mentality, when we're losing he needs to be the one screaming for the ball, taking on players, creating chances and shooting not taking the easy way out and doing easy side way passes... Pedro last week and Kenedy this week showed him how it's done.

I'm actually bored of the transfer window now, ffs.

So true.

How come no other media platform is reporting it? If it's really 90 percent done the English and Italian media would be all over it.

Looks so good on the ball, composed, doesn't panic and always makes the right pass. He's class.

you were saying?

towards the end he did, but he needs to be more direct and less passive in games Imo. He seems to drift in and out of games far too often for my liking.

For his standards he's been awful so far this season...

I'm praying Chelsea just say 'fuck FFP' and act like Barcelona or Real for a day.

It was just an example, my point being is i hope we are willing to spend that sort of money on other top class midfielders if Pogba doesn't come. I just feel like we're selling too many of our vital players, whether their squad players or starters, First Kdb than Schurlle and now Oscar? he's inconstant but he's one of our better players and i have a feeling he'll be a beast this season.

See i dont want Oscar to be a part of any deal, people are forgetting this is a squad game. At the minute our squad is thin enough, are we really about to sell our only number 10?

I hope we are willing to spend that sort of money on alternatives, like Koke for example, if the Pogba deal doesn't happen (which is looking likely).

Doubt Juventus would want the likes of Ramires to replace Pogba.

Ivan will play tomorrow IMO, i think Baba trained alone all week so pretty sure he wont start.
