Pulis too.

precisely. i mean jose has played schurlle upfront at OT and against PSG. cant remember the last time etoo started an away match, and torres' price tag has had 0 influence on his team selection. jose selects his team on merits.

the most IDEAL scenario, pool beats city we beat pool everton beat/draw against city (considering all other matches are won by the teams who are favourites to win those matches) nothing changes for us after this week. all we have to do is win all our remaining matches and pray for city to have a major blow up.

PLEASE... PLEASE JOSE... dont sell him...

people who says his hold up play has not improved really should watch him more.

gets a good attempt which leads to the goal. but is he starting on the wing today?

My nominations: 1. Cesar Azpilicueta 2. Eden Hazard 3. Gary Cahill

And yet we are top of the table. Even if it is for less than 24 hours. We don't play in a way where players like oscar have a free role. It is a system where we play as a TEAM. Where we play in a particular system. That is precisely the most important aspect of mou's work. Hence, I think mou has done a very good job.

i personally would prefer a quality ST, quality CM and a quality LB. -------------costa----------- --hazard--oscar--willian-- -----matic---kroos/rakitic--- --shaw--JT---GC--azpi--- -----------thibaut------- is far more balanced than -------------suarez--------- ----hazard---oscar---willian--- ------matic----rambo-------- --azpi---JT---GC---iva---- ----------thibaut-------

dude, thats the point... u cant have a keeper do that playing with spurs... a keeper should adjust according to the team's strengths, not the other way round. specially in a defence, crying out loud for a stable goalie. choulo compared him to lehmann who was a great goalie too, but despite them being good goalies, i would not want them between the sticks at CFC, thats the main point.

cech iva GC JT azpi luiz lamps schurrle willian hazard etoo like i said for the previous game, if etoo can stand, he should play as he would definitely do better than torres. oscar does not warrant a start after his recent performances and specially after willian's performance today.

good performance. getting into his groove. but he really can play only as a CAM. him behind RVP would be the best thing for united. good that its rvp who is injured and rooney who simply keeps coming into juan's area.

people just love making mountains out of molehills... loved how he stood up to luiz today. now only if he starts being more assertive and takes shots.

i thought it was sadism. i actually loved watching torres being so frustrated. it was not like he was not trying. it was a simple case of how out of his depth he was. jose wanted everyone to see that. i am happy torres dint disappoint.

great result. a perfect pick us up before the psg match. The players looked like they were out to prove a point. played with a lot of energy and vigour. willian looked like he read his thread on this forum and wanted to say "up yours" to almost every1 on here. stoke were stoke, punching, kicking, hitting everything except for the football. we stopped their mid from getting forward with the ball and with the likes of crouch upfront... it was just LOL. we were totally in control throughout the game. never seemed in any bother except for the set pieces. all kudos to mourinho on having 6 defenders and 1 DM on the pitch at the same time... cech - never in any danger. but still looked shaky on set pieces. loved the stare he got from JT when he AGAIN came half way to get a ball on a set piece cross. azpi - brilliant performance. interceptions, defended like a wall, gave support to schurrle up ahead, won a couple of corners... was just like the azpi of the whole season. JT - solid. but i dont like how LESS of a threat he has become thru set pieces. i mean 7 corners and about 5 fks but he dint get his head on the ball even once. GC - solid too. dealt well with crouch and arnatovic. iva - one of his better performances this season. seemed like he had got a hearing from jose. got ahead very well. supporting salah almost on every occasion. in the first half, salah's awesome performance, had a lot to owe to iva as he took defenders off him. was solid at the back. hope he can continue in the same vein. matic- now that was a perfect spider performance after the debacle of last week. that cut back for salah for the goal and his driving runs is what separates him and makes him special. lamps - he would have scored a couple atleast if the year wasa 2009. simply could not get the ball off his feet. also his penaties are getting a bit tricky. 3 off his last 5 have been saved. but mighty big congratulations of his 250th goal in club career. willian - whatte performance. energetic, dynamic, pressed brilliantly, any other striker in the world would have scored a couple. deserved a goal for the performance, and what a beauty did he take that with. salah- MOTM. actually i think willian was the MOTM but i voted for salah. what a debut performance. first start and he comes up with this. brilliant. just brilliant. his speed is like when u take a player in fifa, and put his speed attribute to 99. damn he can run. to be honest, never liked this transfer, but how wrong is he proving me. hope he can keep this up and get even better. schurrle - a decent performance. got into some very good positions only to fuck it up. if he can improve that part of his play, then what a player... but that turn on an azpi pass, was just awesome... torres- LOLOLOLOLOLOL... why jose why?? how the fuck is BA worse than this asshole. how? i mean this idiot fucks up countless of attacks, does not have any presence in the box, cant lead the line. why the fuck is he playing? look at the willian goal, matic runs towards the wing, takes a defender away from willian, leaving him with shawcross, hazard runs between the defenders taking the second cb away as well as being an option for a pass. salah was near by in case willian dint shoot, while torres was fucking in LA-LA land doing shit all. please dont let him play another game. please. subs - hazard- instant impact. the guy is a genius. will have the biggest part to play against psg. luiz - why does he give a 40 yard pass to torres when hazard is standing right beside him in a better position? cole- good to see him now lets all come together and pray for pool to fuck up tomorrow. .

Wow... mega underestimation of stoke... torres gets another fucking start while no EH17. probably the day when we reallt lose the title.

Line up???

Fuck

by an hour.

thats weird. why would they lower his release clause?

lloris seems to be more interested playing as a sweeper rather than a keeper. which is hilarious cos his decision making is horrendous and more often than not, he ends up costing his team. with lloris as a keeper, the defence can almost NEVER have an stability. courtois is a much much better keeper.

source?

how much do u reckon he ll cost? any chance of a marin + cash deal since marin has been a first team player for almost every game he has been fit?

Hahahahahahag a..... :lol:I can't even get myself to write all that is wrong in this post. Dude, should not we play feruz and boga, even they ll be able to beat stoke. :lol: The fact that 99% of the posters want our strongest team to play should probably tell u things differently. I can barely see if anyone has a starting line up without hazard and azpi. But I should know bettet Like I have said before, lets see the line up by jose mourinho.

I would even consider playing Ake and kalas. Was this statement given by me. oh if that's the case then where was cech against palace and psg? Where was jt? Where was gc, iva, matic, rambo, oscar, schurrle, torres. The team was COLLECTIVELY poor. Hazard was still our best performwr against psg. Dude u r absolutwly right. Lets "rest" our whole for a match which should actually be played like a cup final. Thats the level of importance of thia match, if not more. As I said before, lets see the team JOSE MOURINHO, chooses for the game.
