Oscar is a great team player. He defends, distributes and keeps running for 90 mins. I'm talking about who is going to be our 'Superstar' when Mata is not present. In my mind, that has to be Hazard; that's what we bought him for.

@Henrique, @Rmpr, English ONLY please. If you want to discuss something in Portuguese, feel free to make use of the PM system.

2-2s all around. Can't help but feel a bit sad for Dortmund, Weindfeler really should have saved that Ozil FK, it had no pace on it what so ever, but or some reason he thought it was going out and left it. Terrible goalkeeping that could cost them 1st place.

That Reus goal was just brilliant. Dortmund had 3-4 similar chances before but just lacked the finish. Pepe equalizes

Tbf, we were doing just fine without Mata at the start of the season, but since his return, Hazard has taken the back seat. We NEED him to step up tomorrow.

He was originally supposed to be out for 2 weeks, I thought he might be back for this since it has been 2 weeks.

Lamps?

According to Sky, a host of League One and Two teams want him on loan and the club is willing to send him out: http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/8228599/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

^^ That was quick, it has literally just been announced Completely deserves it, by far the best player in the league till now.

Luckily JT will be on the field. I have a feeling we will either put up an amazing performance like we did vs Valencia last season, or play like we did in Donetsk and lose.

I honestly think he would be the perfect striker for us right now. Too bad he's not a few years younger.

Is it me or is this guy really amazing:

Any idea when the press conference before the match is? Should be some time today.

I'm taking both FBD and LD. Haha can't wait!

Is it the same ankle injury that almost ruled him out of the Swansea game?

Well I'm still just learning about it in the uni, so I'm using EasySoft simulation software. I had an assignment to do a program to control an imaginary oven in a factory with tons of timers and counters. Took me under an hour to write the program and over two to find out that the reason why it is not working is that one of the timers was accidentally set to OFF-delayed instead of ON-delayed.

Anyone else watching the post-match analysis just because Graeme Le Saux is on it?

Well I read in the mail the other day (which probably makes it bullshit) that the assistants and 4th ref told the FA said nothing (can't find the article now). I honestly believe the FA will do everything in their power to keep a lid on things if the allegations are true. Urgh, I just want all of this to just go away. We are playing brilliant football and yet the focus is elsewhere

Can't see how this can be proved if no one saw or heard what was said except for Ramires. But I would not be surprised if that is what the 'investigation' finds because as you said, it suites both parties.

Lukaku on the bench: ALBION SUBS v Southampton: Myhill (gk); Popov, Brunt, Lukaku, Rosenberg, Fortune, Tamas.

He was also at fault for the play Iva got sent off for. Was out of position, got too close to RVP and allowed him to turn and play the through ball.

Where do you expect to finish in the table (this should be fun to read ) A lot of praise has been given to Suarez lately as the best player in your team, do you think you are a one-man team? Would you take Torres back now? Predict the result.

Why do you feel the need to comment if you have no idea what you are talking about? I watched every Juve game last season and can assure you none of what you said is true. 1) Quagliarella scored 4 goals last season, Matri 10, while Vucinic was playing on the wings and not as a striker. The Juve strikers had minimal effect on their season. 2) It is true that the Serie A has weakened, but so has the PL. This is evident by the fact that we were the only English club in the CL last season past the final 16 stage. 3) Tell me please, how many offside goal did they score? I can't remember any, the only game-changing decision that went Juve's way last season was the disallowed goal against Milan. But I also remember three matches that ended in a draw where Juve should have had very clear penalties in two of them while they had a goal wrongly disallowed in the third. I actually read an article that analyzed the refereeing mistakes and Juve were the side that lost the most points due to these mistakes among the top teams. On any account, you really shouldn't be so quick to discredit a side that outplayed us at the bridge only a few weeks ago.

Fortunately it's his other knee, so he does have every chance of returning to 100%

Rumors that Forest are looking to end his loan early so he can recover slowly at Cobham.
