that was never a miscontrolled ball he very much meant it as a pass(and he even said that in the interview). Right now i dont know who is the best among the three.Each one of them have contributed to our season . This is how I see each ones qualities Hazard-passing creativity dribbling Mata-passing creativity movement Oscar-first touch shooting pressing(defending) I believe each one is different for.eg hazard does'nt create space as well as mata . Mata's movement is the best among the three. Oscar defends the best and also shoots well. I think it is ridiculous to say hazard is better than mata or oscar is better than mata or anyone is better than anyone for that matter. Mata has proven himself for us over a season, hazard and oscar havent but still have time and more importantly ability to do that.

im actually in favour of sturridge . But i think RDM feels sturridge has poor work rate more than being selfish and hence doesnt play him enough.As you said torres is not significantly better. I think it is only a matter of time before sturridge starts.

No i knew it all along our squad is very imbalanced we definitely need a essien(prime),tiote toure type player and a CF good in the air.When a team crowds the midfield you need someone to hold the ball and bring runners into the game. Another option is to have someone like tevez who hunts down everything short but very strong on the ball. Torres is neither this nor that his entire game is reliant on movement and we need someone else im afraid.

i think our problem is we dont have any physical presence either up top or in midfield. Just got bossed in midfield by granero and faurlin who i think are better than mikel lampard. Lampard is past it he actually had the fewest touches of anyone in the pitch excepy maybe torres. mikel is not the answer he is okay average maybe a squad player,he just slows it too much from midfield, by the time the ball reaches torres the opposition is set and we lose the ball. torres struggled without any space was crowded out.and as said before you need mikel lampard to move ball quicker for him to find space and be effective. What sturridge did was he found his own space dropped deep and looked lot more threatening. I think the problem with sturridge is fitness i dont think he has the stamina and becomes lazy later in the game.

i honestly think sturridge is better than torres right now.
