I hold my breath and cringe just about every time he goes into a tackle or runs at a 50/50 ball. I love his physicality and determination, but he has to control himself more at times. He barges into so many players that it looked like he's playing American football sometimes. It is absolutely hilarious however that United fans HATE him as much as we do Hernandez.
Must say, I feel really bad for Mata. When the camera showed our players on the bench he just looks so down and unhappy. He's gone from being the main man and most important player on our team to not even getting a sniff in huge matches like this.
Forgot to say, I thought Azpi was AWESOME today. Brilliant work ethic and great pace. Excellent player. Oscar on the other hand didn't have a good day. He looked a little off the pace and tired. Hope to see Mata start the next couple of matches and give Oscar a bit of a break.
United fans all saying "Chelsea aren't even good. They didn't impress me at all." Or "Chelsea are average at best." Fucking babies. Enjoy the scrap for a Europa League spot you cunts!
Still doesn't quite sit right with me when Jose acts all lovey-dovey and sympathetic towards United. Wish he'd stick the dagger in every once in a while.
I feel like we're giving Januzaj too much respect here. Backing off of him like he's CR7. Close him down and make him work. He's able to do whatever he wants out there and is wide open time and time again in our box. Also, Luiz is just asking for a red card. Get him out of there soon. He gets too amped up and reckless in these huge games.
I just pray we don't have a first half like we've had recently. We can't start sluggishly and invite pressure from them. My guess is that they start Hernandez and their gameplan is just to swing as many crosses in as possible to him. We have to take the game to them and not play cautiously. It's really a shame that Matic isn't starting straight away. I'd feel a lot more confident with another very solid player in the middle of the park disrupting United's play.
They should easily break our scoring record. No way they shouldn't win the league this season. If they can't win it scoring like this and blowing everyone out of the water it'll be a pretty big failure.
I actually think all of the "big" sides will beat Arsenal.City will batter them, I think we'll beat them like Jose always does, United will beat them again like they did earlier, and I think Liverpool will beat them too.
Can't see any of us, City, or Arsenal dropping many points against these weaker sides for the rest of the season. It's all gonna come down to the big matches when the top sides play each other and how well those sides cope with multiple competitions. That's why I think ourselves and City will eventually break away from Arse. Must win tomorrow.
I fucking hate Arsenal. They don't look impressive at all really, they're just flat track bullies who beat up on bad sides this season. Can't wait until their tough runs start kicking in and they fall back.
