I'm not putting words in your mouth and I most definately get the point :/ I quoted a sentence out of Jose's press conference, stating De Bruyne isn't playing because the rest is playing so well. Which is a laughable statement because most of our AM's have been average at best. We could continue discussing Hazard and Schurrle but that would only derail the thread and be pointless anyway =)

That's your opinion, he's been criminally underrated in some of his less prolific games this season. For me Schurrle is an extremely useful squadplayer with some immense qualities but he just isn't in the same league as Hazard or Mata or even Willian for that matter. Ignoring his goals he was average vs Stoke. That doesn't mean he isn't an important player for us.

Hazard and Oscar have been quality, the rest has been average at best with some spikes in performances. They definately haven't played well enough to keep KDB on the bench for half a season.

Not necessary, I feel.

Knowing what's funny, we do*

Why would Lukaku leave? Pretty sure he'd settle for being second striker, I mean he's 20. Lukaku is long-term. Ideally we get a world-class striker who can tutor him.

lol'd

Not sure what's funny

That's the whole issue, loaning out our best striker. We don't want to recall him because he is a young promising player, we want him here because he's our best option.

Nearly all his goals conceded were not his fault though, he's probably the best performing goalie in the league at the minute. Go have a look at RAWK, they think they've got the new Schmeichel

/sarcasm

True although I don't think the man is a troll, which makes it worse

must.. not.. rage

Ideally Ba would be 3rd striker but I doubt he'd settle for that next season.

1/10

So tired of this arguement tbh. I mean, you may even have a point that he'd may score less for us, but as long as the people in charge are of that mentality he'll never succeed here. No matter where he's been, he's scored goals, and lots of them. Even for us in pre-season he scored in nearly every game, yet doesn't get a chance in the league before getting shipped to Everton. What more can he do to show he's ready to at least being part of our strike-force than bagging 17 goals for West-Brom and continuing to do so in pre-season for Chelsea? To me it seems people keep looking for excuses to justify his second loan spell. He should be here, in London, helping us win the title.

I never understood the he's not ready argument. Ready for what exactly? Scoring goals? Who cares that he's 'unrefined' or 'unfinished'? Which 20 year old is refined/finished? He's scored goals for fun for every team he's played for since the youth leagues. Drogba could barely get a game for a Ligue 2 team at that age.

The performance wasn't that bad, only the defense is a shambles

Would've been a Schurrle brace, easy tap to the left, the defender came flying

He should've gone for goal instead of Torres, Hazard. Be more selfish!!

fucking hell, these Ivanovic crosses, l2p son

Schurrle, well in son

The fact that he's untouchable in Mourinho's lineups says more than words

My heart

That's my boy, he can smell springtime already
