Pogba?

This has been a problem for a while now, compared to how we started the season. We 'usually' score 1-2 goals and that's it.

Wrong. Fabregas can pick a pass even in the worst of games. Instead we had Oscar (who's passing wasn't that bad tbf, but not Cesc level) and Ramires who constantly fails at decisive passes.

Mourinho wins titles by not losing to his title rivals. Today was a good result, even if we had all our players - a better performance would have been needed, but a point would still be acceptable. Now i hope Fabregas is back next game, shit's not the same without him.

I was scared for him, he did really well.

Azpi is getting fucked

When players put their hands behind their back and just let the cross come in unchallenged, disgusting.

yesssssssssssssssss

Get lost Ivanovic

Ivanovic wtf

He got injured last game.

Hazard is on a different level ( i only compared them because they don't repeatedly do the same things), he doesn't even sprint most games, and dribbles at a slow and yet very effective pace. I do think Cuadrado is a bit of a headless chicken when it comes to decision making, but not really dribbling.

The great thing about his dribbling is he can go in any direction he wants, like Hazard. This makes it more difficult for defenders because they don't know what to expect, unlike with some other wingers who prefer to dribble towards their stronger foot.

I know! Cesc would always spot his runs like no one else could I for one expected more from Shirley this season, but he's too inconsistent and doesn't add much else apart from goals... which is a problem when he's not in form. Oh well, good luck to him in BuLi.

This thread is filled with people giving unrealistic alternatives. Reus is not going anywhere right now, and our chances of getting are rather slim with Bayern and Madrid in the race. Griezmann has not even played a full season for Atletico. Turan is slow (Mourinho loves his fast wingers) and barely has better stats than Cuadrado. Koke is a genius but I don't see him as a winger - he plays in midfield for Spain and I believe any other team that signs him would use him there also. Anyway last summer was our chance to sign a RW, we didn't. Now we're just settling for what looks like one of the best options available.

Neymar and Messi, plus the small matter of Suarez. Robbery isn't too bad also.

Referee could have sent off 5 or 6 Atletico players if he wanted. Barca are really scary though, especially if they have space - which Atletico gave away today because they needed to score goals.

279 pages, legendary thread.

Drogba will start obviously.

Yesterday was similar to how we played at Anfield in the league - we gave them some space at the back, but we also pressed high up the pitch and won the ball back several times. Unlike last week where we just let them do whatever they wanted with the ball. No matter who you play, its difficult to win playing like that, without a lot of luck.

Oscar lol

Willian is ridiculous

Yep. Maybe Mourinho might give him some more minutes since he's new, like he also did to Salah. But if he doesn't do anything special, he'll rot on the bench and be sold next season. Vicious cycle.

This is pretty much certain now I feel. He will take Salah's place and role in the team...

Tbf if Drogba played better, we might have scored more than 2 goals. But he was busy taking shots from midfield and giving the ball away like Salah
