Sir Mikel OBE

And selling De bruyne.

If he was a couple of years older that would be a fair point, but he was one of(if not) the best in his position last year and is in his prime. Big big mistake to be riding the pines at this point.

He made a BIG mistake coming here.

Was thrown in the deep end today. Did look poor though.

He looks to attack though, which is more than you can say about Willian.

Cuadrado needs to start.

Ramires has been fantastic.

Cahill embarrassed there.

Dominating since ramires came on. Causation /= correlation though.

Its a good move. Matic was about to be sent off.

Matic hooked.

He's been worse than Oscar. Patience is just thinner with the little Brazilian.

Draw isn't a bad result by any means.

Holy crap that was close.

Willian isn't any worse than Fabregas out there.

Left side getting raped.

Schneiderlin is the best midfielder out there right now.

Harsh on Heskey there.

Keep calm lads. Of course they are going to have a spell like this...they are a good side.

I'm going to have to agree here on the improvement part. Hazard can show more because more is on him, while when he first arrived a lot of it was on Mata. I don't think he has improved, in the attacking sense, at all to be fair. Maybe in positional awareness probably, but even at Lille he wasn't completely lazy in that sense. And he still has moments where he switches off.

Do you really see that, or are you hoping?

Will be an interesting battle for sure. I still think Southampton, with Clyne and Bertrand, have two of the more steady starting fullbacks in the league.

Big big weekend for the lad.

Will be interesting to see how this develops for sure.

We know exactly what this squad is capable of. They put in the exact same performance against a 10 man city.
