Witsel looks to be going somewhat cheap, considering the previous prices around, due to the Russian currency deflation. Witsel-matic Cesc For the sake of £20m, doesn't seem the worst idea if we are going with the change approach depending on the game which we have recently I. E. Cesc moving forward from the deeper role. No problems with keeping Mikel and investing that £20m in a right winger, either.

Always 50/50 as Spurs are Jekyll and Hyde, we usually fade late into games and they get stronger but after much was made of our one shot on target against Saints I reckon we'll look to rectify that somewhat and be a little more up for this seeing what happened to us at Southampton, watching Cesc's interview only compounds my opinion on it, the players will want this big time and we've been a yard or two away from seriously spanking someone. Play Matic-Mikel on this one and assign Mikel to Kane, said it since I saw him at Millwall, cracking player.

Not going to lie and say I've seen this chap other than a youtube search but Vitesse/Besiktas will be chuffed I'm sure.

Happy for him to be second choice until next season, a season to bed in is never a bad thing for any defender.. Yeah I'd prefer him to come in and slot straight away but.. likelihood? Not many defenders get it right at a top top team straight away @lukeshaw alright lad.. Acclimatize until the summer, switch Dave to RB, bring back Bertrand. Winner winner chicken dinner.

What a player. That interview, sealed it. Blue.

Not sure why the commentator said the keeper should of done better before I knew what happened Mane put it in the net he took it so early. Can't fault him, JT assumed we would win the initial header and usually Dave is closer to him however Luis was further up the field and had no chance of getting back. One of those things

Said it before, never had a bad game in my memory but for some reason when he did play our goals came from that side, again I can't remember Bertrand making a mistake persay. There's alot more we do not see, we see match performances and very very very limited training footage for obvious reasons. I feel sorry for him but if he's not being put into the team then there has to be a reason that is football or personal related that the staff do not like. I'd love it if he came back in the summer and was given a fair crack because it LOOKS like he could give us something with hazard but it's down to Jose and preferring Dave for defensive structure and Luis for attacking structure. Another thing to bare in mind is that lukaku syndrome, one thing to play for Southampton, another for Chelsea.

100% Schurrle is only for a certain type of game or team, sad but true, and like you say, IF he is on form. Big IF. Don't enjoy being negative toward a player but.. its been a while since he's convinced anyone, even if he's scored its glossed the performance.

Touchline ban incoming just in time for a big game if the FA decide so.. Which they will.

Our problem wasn't central midfield today him and Matic snuffed everything today and Mikel let's Matic drive forward a bit more. Good game.

Barca goals were different from arsenal goals in fairness but I do feel the whole team is guilty of not having a pop especially with deflections, goalkeeping errors and the dodgy flight the balls can take. 04/05 season galore.

+1

At least edit your post to say some members, don't generalise without reading the majority of the posts etc. Saying what I said for a while now not just because he didn't score today and had a poor game

Do I feel he made mistakes today? Yes. Was that interview one of them? No. Passion. Said exactly what I was discussing with my mum when fabregas got booked haha. Get in Jose. Quick note go watch cesc interview on the same page, stock just got a bit higher for me.

Just because we lost its not a case of a hindsight post. Schurrle was not in form, away from home, Southampton who need to be pressed aka. Not what schurrle does, strange decision, yes he changed it at half time fair play, bringing on remy at 86.31, sorry mate that's not good enough when Costa has struggled for the past 20 minutes. Look, City drew, it's more two points lost than a lucky result for us. I hope this kicks us into gear for the spurs game with one shot on target.

Shocked if he's in the squad for spurs Not offering anything at all last few weeks, yes he's been ill, needs fitness or sharpness, go play reserves aswell as first team training if that's the case but at the moment we play with a man down essentially. Harsh I know but shape up or ship out.

Hate to be negative especially hazard but I was coming in here to post this. It's becoming an issue, the lad is magic, hes improved tons, but he needs to shoot instead of slowing play down and doing too much he even shows his frustration after and Gary nev said it in commentary, needs to shoot and score more to be in that world class bracket. He IS class.

Its not about being that type of striker something is not right fitness wise, clear as day

Yes he scored against West Ham Yes he pressures defenders But something is not right fitness wise, lost a yard or two with the burners

Cba typing alot on my phone so I'll type short one liners. One shot on goal Ball across their six yard box four times Our reputation for diving cost us a penalty, our fault Full backs had a good game, despite some wayward crosses, no full back whips in a good ball everytime Schurrle really messed his chance up today, shocked if he's even in the spuds squad Subs were terrible, too late, same as last season Costa doesn't look right, compare last season Draw away before the game, I'd of taken that but the manner in which we drew is annoying to say the least Hazard, magic and persistently fouled beyond belief Referee, LOLOLOL

Sorry mate, got it wrong today starting 11 and subs.

Sorry mate, got it wrong today starting 11 and subs.

Ridiculous

Well done boys, royally fucked it up

Our own fault this game, fuming
