Sheva.

Cole does nothing in attack, and then gets killed by every decently quick player, unacceptable.

He should be doing much better against this kind of opposition. Willian didn't exactly play well either, but he was more involved and on another day would have had a brace.

KDB was the worst player on the pitch, others at least tried, Willian was quiet but unlucky not to score. Torres played as i expected. Essien surprised me.

99% of the players on the pitch won't play that game.

This guy lives offside.

OMG.

Good play.

We should have won this cup last season if not for Ivanovic. We can this season, as long as we don't get City.

Terry won't play, Mou has been saving him for league games.

Tbf they would have played Chelsea, Liverpool and City already, insanely difficult start.

Even Roman was smiling at the end of the game. 3 points is nothing new, but a Mikel goal surely calls for some celebration

MIKEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Fucking finally.

Fucking finally.

This is why i don't get the Oscar love by Mourinho. This is how he and we as a team have played all season, he's popped up with 2 goals granted, but the performances are all the same. Yet Mourinho says Mata is not convincing, christ!

We're so boring. No pace at all in the way we play, Ivanovic touches the ball more than our striker, i actually feel sorry for Eto'o.

Counter attacking team. Clueless when they have so much of the ball.

Need a fast start today, hopefully Eto'o finally gets a goal.

Look at Ozil, Cazorla, Silva, Coutinho. None of them have to do any extraordinary defensive duty, i can understand when you pick Oscar over Mata against Bayern, but we won't play Bayern every week. We should be dominating possession most games, getting the ball to Mata for him to create chances for others. Sigh.

Also, i wonder why Mourinho didn't say this during the window, because this isn't anything knew - he just hadn't publicly admitted it. If he had, Mata could have been sold for a substantial amount and he'd be somewhere else enjoying his football instead of sitting on the bench here while inferior players play - not just Oscar, but whoever else plays at RW is not better than Mata.

We have 4 goals in 4 games, we should be looking to improve attack instead of focusing on defence. It's ridiculous to even compare Mata and Oscar when it comes to attacking, because the difference is night and day. Mata is a genius, and one of the best creators in Europe. Oscar? not even close to that level at this moment. Hazard has not been playing well, but if Mata was at his best and playing every game it wouldn't be such a big problem. He carried us for long spells last season when Eden was 'adapting'. I really can't think of one CAM attribute Oscar is better than Mata at. Except defending of course, and we all know how freaking important that is for a CAM

No offence, but fuck potential. Mata is not an old man, he's 'only' 25 and can still be on top of his game for another 4-5 seasons. So will Oscar be better than Mata in that time frame when the latter is entering his prime? i think not.

Fair enough. But what about the remaining games where we don't play on the counter? Oscar not even up to half of Mata when it comes to creativity, and breaking down a parked bus.

The 2nd most creative player in the league (Master Ozil is here now), top 5 CAM in the world, and he's now backup all of a sudden, or has to play from the wings. It's bullshit, many clubs will come in for him next window and he'll take his creativity somewhere it's more appreciated.

Awesome.
