BlueLyon

Unfortunely he is kinda big game choker...will be interesting to see how it affects our performances. Probably not so much in PL but more in CL where you eventualy play only top teams.

Azpi good in defence Iva good in attack Luis good in both sides Yet it will be Luis most probably dropped

Just play Iva on right wing and Azpi, Luis as fullbacks. Iva was playing like a winger anyway.

Hazard, Matic, Costa, Cesc, JT, Dave (either side tbh)

He is overrated because he would cost 50m for any team to buy him right now. I know no one would pay for him 50m, but he wouldnt go for less anywhere. And media talks about him as the next Ronaldo almost, so yeah he is overrated. TBH every single english player is overrated because who in past 5 years actualy become what he supposed to become? Even Rooney is kinda fallen talent. They just dont reach next level like certain spanish, german, french,...players do and play big role in european football, club and NT wise. England is far behind and certain Sterling, despite being best u20 player in england, is hyped up by media, older english players, coaches,... I wouldnt pay for Sterling more than 25m, but he is rated more than that. And thats why he is overrated. I remember people talking of him as next Ronaldo, but he has yet to do anything on top stage. He is 19, he has time, but lets first see if he can make a step further, unlike many english players before. And finaly, would I want him here? No. He doesnt track back. We already have tricky Hazard in team, we dont need another one. Because we need balanced team. Di Maria or Sanchez provide engine who tracks back. Hard workers. Sterling isnt hard worker. And we have enough talent in team ATM, think we need also someone more experienced in attack, who has balls and actualy plays consistent unlike Sterling, or even Willian, Schurrle etc.

Hazard, Di Maria, Alexis, Silva, then maybe Sterling IMO I think he is right now biggest english talent, but that means nothing until he actualy reaches next levels. And why would Liverpool sell him to us in first place?

I was talking about games for Chelsea, not atletico...

Agree, despite he does great job, I feel we would concede less with Cech, probably due to experience. Tibo cant keep clean sheet to save his life...

He is fucking overrated CB but if he actualy comes here, I will give him some time to see how will Mou work it out... Pique has strength, he is tall, good on ball, experienced and good age, but he has one big flaw and thats his mentality. Would prefer CB who is more a "leader" but honestly there arent many out there who tick all boxes. Hummels is prone to errors and injuries while Varane is unavailable and bit too young to lead our defence. Unavailable anyway.

Costa is back, qpr you are fucked.

I would say there are better odds that Terry will shag Shakira than Mou signing Pique...

Such CB as Vidic, prime Terry, etc doesnt exist anymore. Defenders nowday are all more or less mistake prone and they cant handle the shit like old school CBs did. Thats why we have Ramos, Kompany, Silva, Benatia as currently best defenders but they make more mistakes in one year than Vidic, Puyol or Terry did in whole career.

He is one of my faw players, but if he goes to bayern he can go fuck himself.

Considering we had Torres who had vine fails every week, Im not surprised at all

I think we would play cesc-matic-pogba then

Young and needs to learn from this. The best way to learn is through mistakes. If he wont learn, thats another problem.

Thought he was our best player in field, top performance.

Im very pro-Oscar but games like this one give me serious questions should we target Pogba to play in Oscar role with Cesc getting more freedom.

I would keep Matic all day long and that isnt bias. Matic simply has more balls for DM and looks like a proper allround player.

I think in case if Mou gets Pogba to play instead of Oscar, it would be possible, but there are too many ifs in this story.

So he is better than Shaw. Everyone wanted Shaw here because of abilty and nationality. The price was only thing why certain people didnt want him here. But then you see Bertrand, english, better than Shaw so far and completely free, our youth product. Yet no one here even blinks with eye that we might keep him. Ridiculous how neighbours grass is always greener, and how little actual interest in our youth players is here. I see everyday here people talking about giving youngsters a chance, and now that we actualy have a player who is good (not youngster but academy player still) and no one would like to see him get a real chance here, yet there were people crying and raging when even less prowen Shaw went to United. Wish you the best Ryan, I was certain after that CL run that he will be one replacing Ashley in longterm. And he was never bad or average as people point out. He had maybe one off game due to lack of time, but he was good in majority, despite playing without any kind of rhytm. But Im happy he plays regular football now and showing everyone that he is quality LB.

You know, if you lead and then close down, you have to keep the lead to win. Simple as that. We couldnt do it twice now and I actualy wonder how many times will Mou try this. If we kept those leads, we would have 4 more points and it would be tactical masterpiece. But we didnt and Mou is on fault to go this way, but also players because they didnt hold on. To get such tactics, you need such team. We had such team in 2005. But now we have a team that can attack much better and I dont understand why Mou still relies on defensive tactics after leading. That got us last year several times and already got us twice against manchesters this year. Sure Mou can understand that, no? But I have feeling he would never try to destroy United, even if given such chance. He would keep it down because of respect or whatever...

This game also shows why we still look for improvement in attack. As Willian (or to matter Schurrle, Salah) are good options, they dont offer that efficiency. And Mourinho counter is all about efficiency. We could be two up at half time if Willian, Oscar played better when we dissposesed United and went 3 on 3 and Willian even 1on1. But we blew those chances without even a shot on goal. Thats why people want Reus or whoever, and I understand them. Btw, Willian wasnt bad at all, but thing is he probably wont improve and eventualy this team will be too big for him. His work rate is amazing though. I only hope we can find someone with same work rate and better intelligence/efficiency. Also I hope Hazard will become more cool in finishing. As much De Gea was amazing, Eden's shot was very poor, considering time and space he had.

Second half was brilliant, if he keeps playing like that he can play on, fucking king.

Iva did what he did, but I still think it was Mou fault for the defeat. United is by no meaning some world class team, that we should park the bus after leading by ONE! goal. Kudos to United, they were very good, but after we scored we should go for another. If they equalised earlier, we would still have time to score another. And instead of controling the game, Mou parks the bus, brings Zouma, Mikel on and practicaly says Ok, United you can now attack attack attack. I understand these tactics in CL or against top teams (City probably only in league), but other times, we should do the job as potential champions and current leaders would do. Im happy with more open football by Chelsea this season, but Mou has soft spot for United (already seen last season away), and should do better today. Specialy after leading, this result feels very bitter.
