I meant for the roles on the pitch. Willian played on the right where Mata was and Oscar took Hazard's place down the middle with Eden moving to Schurrle's place on the left.

That's easier said than done..

I'm sorry, but what in the world does Mata have to do with Oscar's dive? Unless you're saying that Oscar's dive is Mata's fault as well! Oscar didn't even come on for Mata, he came on for Andre and Willian came on for Juan who was playing on the right. So, if anything, it's Schurrle's fault Also, it's been covered in this thread about Hazard diving and I kinda agree with you that he goes down too much at times, but if I had to choose a diver from our current squad it won't be Eden; it'll Azpi and to a lesser extent Torres (Iva a few times as well which is weird since he's such a mountain of man). It's not that Azpi goes down without contact, but he often seems to try and exaggerate any foul on him which is the same as diving in my book.

Dude, you NEVER joke about an Arab's sister or mother! There is only one outcome for that and that is unfortunately death. Because you're my friend, I will give you 10 seconds to reflect on your life before I kill you. Use them well! Go. You're mean But I've fixed the bubble and I'm sitting happily in it now Well, we were having a good day

He's been recalled so Traore can have his place at Vitesse. Kakuta will be loaned out again or thrown in the reserves. Not good enough to be anywhere near the first team.

No I remembered that he couldn't do it, but I couldn't do it myself, either. Got busy. Sorry.

Overall this season? Sure. The past couple of weeks? I think Eden has been better. Suarez went missing for 90 mins against us while Eden was the MOTM against Liverpool.

Our Christmas hero! Simply the best player in the league in the past couple of weeks. Came up with the performances when we needed them and gave us 10/12 points in the toughest time of the year. Thank you, Eden!

And they probably go back out before the end of the month. The most they'll do is make the bench against Derby.

Out for a month! Huge blow. Here is where we could have really used MVG.

Right!

Positionally he made several mistakes, but he used his experience to make a few last-ditch tackles and block that were much more important.

Had an excellent start to the game and deserved the luck he got in the goal. But was very frustrating after the goal. Almost broke Ba's record of offsides!

Trust me: Don't. Many before you have tried and failed!

Simply our most important player, tactically. We CANNOT start a game without either Oscar or Willian playing centrally. The dive was really embarrassing. I hope Jose has a word with him about it.

Thought he was excellent today, along with Ramires. Not sure if it's 100% true but I just read on Twitter that Frank is out for a month. If that's true, we're going to need to continue with the good form he is currently in. This is pretty much spot on. Summed up every thing perfectly.

Very close between hazard and Oscar for MOTM, but went for Hazard because Oscar's shameful dive (not cool!). Azpi was brilliant on the right as always (made one huge mistake, though). I thought Rami and Mikel were excellent as well. Definitely a strong bench. Though I don't why we have to chose between the two.

I think Jason is still a bit drunk Fixed.

Just equaled Bonetti's record of 208 clean sheets. Here's a hundred more

Perfect start to the year Oscar changed the game. Hazard was brilliant. Cech Equals Bonetti's record of 208 CS. Perfect blue day! :blue scalf: :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

So much doom and gloom here as always. We played well in the first 45 minutes and created enough chances to score at least two. But our decision making in the final is not PL level. Simple as that. That's what you get with young inexperienced AMs and has-beens at ST.

Of course Mata has not shone offensively. Shaw-Lallana is one of the best flank combinations in the league. His defensive duties are huge today.

I think it's pretty much obvious that we need Willian on for Schurrle. We just CAN'T start without either Oscar or Willian at #10.
