Sir Mikel OBE

To be fair Willian was miles ahead of everyone out there not named Hazard today.

You're right, but that isn't going to change anything. Lampard won't be benched.

It isn't oscar keeping him out of the starting XI so folks can stop mentioning oscar as reason for mata not getting in. You can't fit a square peg in a round hole.

Nice pity run-out there from Jose. Wtf is he going to do in like 5 minutes?

He played against Basel in our first meeting.

No idea.

Might as well use the last substitute.

Hazard as a 10. Needs to happen more.

What was Jose telling oscar?

That's a bad injury for eto'o.

Lampard has been terrible.

Salah looking like messi out here

Mikel saving our ass there

Ivanovic seems exposed over there. You clearly see willians high work rate on the other side, but there is gap on the right

Weather the storm....

We need to blood in a young defender. That one defender on the bench is embarrassing. No reason Schürrle, hazard, Mata, and KDB should all be taking up bench space.

The lampard role is his if we stick with the weekend formation.

Essien was left out of the squad for Van Ginkel.

The midfield is bossing. Thing of beauty really.

Decent start.

To be really fair though Ramires looked really good as a winger against Honduras with Brazil last week.

Bertrand might be done here. Jose does not seem to fancy him.

In his prime he was certainly the best African player for country his generation. The biggest shame was that he never got his world cup appearance.

I couldnt really see him playing this weekend anyway to be honest.

Would have loved to see him get some minutes today against Japan. Not like he really needed to be rested since I dont see him getting any minutes this weekend.
