Sooner we drop him for a while the better. He scored and set the second goal up but same old same old. Ramires must start in some games in his place, go 4-3-3 or Cesc as a 10.

Sure lets buy another left winger to play on our right wing.... when will we ever fucking learn

I think he was seen more as a #10, he featured there mostly in pre-season. The fact Willian wasn't fully fit when he arrived and also Oscar was playing very well as a #10 made it hard for Jose to shift the Brazilian to play Kevin as a 10. Although in January when Willian had settled and was fit, it was blatantly obvious who was gonna be first choice RW out of the two because Willian seemed more a winger in style than Kevin or Mata. The squad had too many number 10 players at that time.

Yes true but Mo has had a few decent games here, Swansea, Sunderland, Newcastle (all last season to be fair) Sporting this season, albeit he has struggled to get minutes this season which is slightly understandable given how well we had performed at the start of the season up until about December. I think he was more the sort of player we needed over Kevin in my eyes, we had too many number 10 players at the start of last season (Mata, Kevin, Oscar, Willian if you want to include him).

Come on here and see posts about people teaching Reus how to steal Schurrle's gf and all that shit. How high am I or how much bullshit are people typing?

What did he do at Chelsea to warrant a place?? Its one thing to perform well for Bremen and Wolfsburg in the German league...

If we sign Messi I'll cut my balls off and send them to him as some sort of welcome gift.

In all honesty loan deal or not who gives a fuck I've said it from day one he had the chance to go to Man City and he did. Our club's top scorer, a Chelsea legend, honestly why would you do that? Will Gerrard do it to Liverpool? No. Did Giggs and Scholes do it at United? No. Loyalty is a two way street. He wasn't a one club man obviously but still he tainted his legacy with that move in my eyes. When City come to the Bridge, if fans want to boo him they have every right to in my opinion after him going to City on loan or even on some disguised permanent deal. If he isn't even on loan it is a very cowardly move on his behalf to 'pretend' to be on loan from one club to one of your former clubs direct competitors, to try and preserve a relationship with a fanbase or whatever. Absolutely pathetic and if people want to boo him for that then they should go ahead because its ridiculous but I'm sure some people on this forum will be annoyed for me even saying that and I'll be told to go and support some other team or something but it was Lampard who said yes to go to City, despite having been a Chelsea player for how ever many years and in reality had achieved ultimately everything here. Should have taken a leaf out of Ashley Cole's book, who did it the right way in my eyes.

When Bale and Modric were injured he was playing every week, in their positions or in his natural position. Don't know if he was playing as regularly when they were fit. Really gutted we didn't get him from Malaga when we loaned them Piazon or at least gotten first option.

You said they are different players, I should have said in the last post they really aren't.

30M? Na man if City want to spend 30M for Wilfied Bony let them, not worth 30M. How can City afford to buy a 32M CB without selling anything close to that and then go for a 30M CF in January, FFP is broken.

Varane is miles and miles ahead of him in terms of ability. Can't believe I posted lightyears at first, fucking buzz lightyear the cunt.

Cardiff manager said he wasn't gonna go there but he changed his agent and was training with them. Hopefully the change of agent gives him the kick up the arse he needs because he's talented but just ask anyone involved with Celtic what they thought of his behaviour and things he did - which he took advice for many things (including Chelsea move) from his last agent.

Team accolades > individual accolades.

If we do sign someone to play in the #10 position in January or the summer, I hope we go for a player whos coming up to his best years because Oscar's inconsistency is frustrating the hell out of me this season. Hes always improved each season since coming here but the consistency is his main problem. Subbed the last two games in a row at 45 minutes says it all.

Good game against Watford and a good goal but they are a Championship side he will have tougher games.

Don't want to post in this thread much now hes gone (thank god for that) but apparently Atletico are putting him through a rigorous fitness programme to try and get him back that burst of pace. Didn't we try that? Didn't Milan? Are they high or what? Also the last 6 or 7 years Atletico have had a relatively great track record with signing strikers and also improving them, this will be interesting but the guy is done.

Should of signed him in 2012 from Vitesse or whatever year we were continuously linked to him.

Fuck sake at least look Harry Kane up before typing this. He has had a few loan spells away where he struggled, hes nothing in comparison to Boga because Boga has just played u21 football where as Kane played Championship and very likely League 1 as well as u21 football. This is nearly as bad as the guy on twitter who said Bamford was better than Kane and Kane was nothing special despite being the best English player form wise right now.

I'm not saying he isn't a brilliant player but when people started posting he was the best DM in the world over players like Alonso, Busquets, Martinez, who have been doing it consistently at a high level for years, I knew people were getting carried away. Its hard to disagree and say hes not been brilliant for us because he has been in, particularly in big games but he was awful vs Spurs, who despite having a few good players are very average. I'm not saying he is an awful player, no chance but he was poor and Cahill and Terry's performance was slammed despite Matic being continuously out of position and leaving both exposed. He is one of the best in that holding position yes but I remember various members saying he is the best in that position. Also Fabregas, who has normally been good in terms of positional sense in the other big games was shocking too as Jason said in another thread (or this one fuck knows), I'm not saying Matic should be dropped or sold or whatever the fuck or he isn't good enough but if anyone is gonna stick up for him and say he played well or relatively half decent is having nothing but a fucking laugh. Hence the point why I said when he's good he's good but when he's bad he's truly awful. Never said he was awful or not go enough or anything but yet again if you criticize someone who had a poor game despite having a good season so far, you're made to be some sort of dick who thinks they are shite or something.

That's an idiotic thing to say considering everyone was shit except for Eden. Hes hardly been given opportunities consistently. 20 minutes every month or so? What good is that to make an assessment.

Eeeh what have you seen Sanchez play?? He is an incredibly hard working player.

Hes a great midfield player but would one of the best DMs in the world get ripped apart by Christian Eriksen and Chadli? I said in another thread, he is vitally important to us but there are better DMs. His protection is vital to our system and it wasn't there. When hes good hes good but when Matic is bad hes truly awful.

Guy above hit the nail on the head. People have said that Matic is 'the best DM in the world' but the performance he gave today was fucking awful and that made Cahill and Terry vulnerable. The success we've had defensively has been built on the midfield giving the center backs protection and defending as a team. None of that today sadly.

Just shows how good Jose really thinks Zouma and Kalas are. In reality I agree slightly with his point, if JT gets injured Cahill and Zouma? We'd be fucked.
