Sir Mikel OBE

Cuadrado hasn't shown anything, but we have won 2 European trophies with the latter 3 playing big roles. I am not ready to write off Moses or Ramires yet.

Whether or not they get pedro he will be riding the bench sooner or later.

Dailymail says Manchester United are closing in on him for 22 million.

We could do worse....

He can take one for the club, but why would we force his family to?

Azpilicueta mercifully subbed off

Oxlade has thoroughly destroyed azpilicueta today.

What a pass by fabregas

The momentum from the start of the second half is waning now.

Remy might have just played himself into third choice.

Remy did set up something that should have been a goal in that cross to ramires. I would give him 20 more minutes.

Its just confirmation bias at this point. If you think Ramires is shit, and we are losing, he automatically becomes the scapegoat. Nevermind the fact that OBJECTIVELY there have been players out there far worse than him(Remy,Azpilicueta) and subjectively worse(fabregas). Ramires battles though, and that is why he will have a place in this team.

Gotta score there Ramires...

Remy has been pretty bad timing his runs.

That was stupid by Cahill to be honest. Willian had it under control.

Cahill took out Willian there.

Willian

All the best mate! You'll be missed on here.

Wickham is young and already proven(to an extent) in this league. I would be shocked if, when the pressure is on, Bamford gets the continual nod over him. Hell even in Kane's situation it only really turned out the way it did because Adebayor COMPLETELY went off pace and Soldado never fit in this league.

Could potentially be a Mceacheran at Swanea type of move with Sigurdsson obviously being a much better player.

That isn't saying much.

Lol you are giving a lot of what-if scenarios mate. I can only speak on what I know, and I know Remy is good enough to run the show for a few weeks. I also know our defense and midfield is what our titles are won on, and I don't see that out if Costa is out or have a slight dip in form.

Injury prone or not he is still too good to be second choice to any other striker on earth. Remy and falcao could easily handle 3 games a week between them. In fact, Remy could probably handle more games than Costa in terms of fitness.

Was he hurt? Not that he deserves it, but I expected to him to at least get a minute or two.
