Sheva.

He has the same problems as Podolski at Arsenal. Both are more supporting strikers than wingers imo.

It's only now they changed his starting position. He used to start at LW but always plays like a striker.

Obviously - but then he doesn't play in 90% of the easy games lol.

Matic can speak English tho. Anyway i cringe when i think about diver Ivanovic possibly being our next captain

Sadly, after the obvious Fabregas and Hazard, Willian is one of our more creative players lol.

It's funny they also think opponents play harder vs them

Lmao club record curse hit City also. They had won 9 straight before this game.

Monster

They are pressing like crazy, and also look way faster.

3 assists in the last 3 PL games. This is his best season here, he's making a difference almost every game.

He's back in form the past 2 games. The ball sticks with him now and he never loses it easily like before. His passing is also on point, quick layoffs and all around smart play. Desperation about scoring really affected his game the last month, but good to see him playing well now.

What a player.

Great football. Just score again so we can pass till the end and save some energy.

TERRRRYYYY

Willian pass ffs.

OMG

I'm sure Big Sam will have someone follow Cesc's every movement lol

He's good, but I noticed his bias against Chelsea. Just this last game, he kept going on about the Chelsea bench pressuring the 4th official, and how it's no coincidence players have been getting sent off against Chelsea.

Lol finally someone with common sense. Its better for these players to join lesser clubs. Than jumping to a big club and being sent on loan every single year.

Smooth football does not translate into wins though, especially away from home. We could use Cesc in pivot yesterday and dominate possession, but we would be instantly weaker in defense. Whenever Stoke applied any pressure we had two DM's waiting to break up play, this is how you win at such grounds. If Costa takes his chances the game could have ended 4-0 - we barely even score that much when we play our smooth football.

He's more frustrating the last month or so because he's more selfish with the ball, and still doesn't do anything as usual.

His reaction to the ref stopping our 3v1 counter was funnier to me

If he played like today against Newcastle, Cisse doesn't score. Hopefully he has shaken off his bad moment.

Perfect lineup for this kind of game. I don't think we look that solid if it was Cesc in pivot and Oscar running around. Our attack did take a hit, i will admit, but i blame Willian for a lot of it lol. Anyway, really solid performance, well done everyone.
