Well he was our MOTM in the game at Gudison this season, so I wouldn't bet against him starting if I were you.

You're right, that's probably a bit over the top. I'm sorry you were offended, removed.

EDIT: Removed.

Someone actually topped Balotelli's goal and in the same weekend as well!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Massive respect @Barbara, that was beyond awesome And you're absolutely right....the bunny does do it better! :P

:o I refuse to believe that!

Exactly. He had an average game like almost everyone else. He made a couple of mistakes, but he also made three crucial interceptions.

He played as the anchor man yesterday, but he played a more advanced role in the first game for Wigan. I like him when he plays next to a holding midfielder so he has the freedom to utilize his quick passing and creative edge.

Good luck affording 300K/wk without CL football!

My schedule is all the same in March so I have no preferences. I'll take whichever game is left after everyone chooses.

Funny you should say that, I was just watching the rerun of wigan's game yesterday and was thinking that Josh is probably a better passer than anyone we have at CM at the moment. It's quite incredible how he always seems to get the right weight and pace on his passes.

Whatever gets you through the night

Just saw the rerun of the match. He came on when Cardiff where trying to get an equalizer and Wingan sat rather deep to defend, but he did well, imo. Defensively he made a couple of interceptions and kept his concentration well. On the ball, he was a joy to watch as always with the few superb first time passes and touches. He looks stronger.

No, that's fickle as well. And just for the record, I like Iva and Lampard much more than I like Luiz and Mikel.

And we indignantly object when other fans say that Chelsea fans are the most fickle and spoiled...

I hate to criticize one player after a performance like yesterday's, but I find it hilarious that this thread is in absolute silence when, imo, he played worse than the players that everyone is using as scapegoats.

One question: How did Luiz have a worse game yesterday than Hazard or Willian that he's getting all this stick while they're not?

Yes, Mikel played no part in us winning the CL, he wasn't one of our best players in the final and semis, played no part in us winning the FA cup 4 times, wasn't a key player in us winning the league in 09-10 This thread is hilarious at times.

at the past two pages.

Thought he was actually the best of our front four, which really isn't saying much, tbh. He actually showed some energy, fought for balls and made some good movement. But we could have had Van Busten and the original Ronaldo and we still wouldn't have scored yesterday. There was zero space and we rarely had the ball in the final third.

Didn't have a good game, but you can't really point him out because the whole team, bar Azpi maybe, didn't do well. But it is true, that he left some gaps and was ball watching on several occasions, but it could be just fatigue.

Thought he looked very bright when he came on yesterday. Actually had some energy and tried to make things happen... Oh, and didn't get dispossessed every time he touched the ball like Hazard and Willian did!

That voyeur!

Hey, that's what I do all the time! Why do you think this place is so poorly run? It's because admins like me just blur out half the members!

I can't imagine any football forum in the world having the discussion we had in the last couple of pages. In fact, I pretty sure that this discussion has never been made anywhere in history!
