It's hilarious to see the mood change about players. As a long time lurker of the forum, it went from a huge majority of excitement about Hazard to now about 50% negative name-calling and dismissing him just because the chances of him coming here have been cut down due to the club's own faults.
When I watch Tiote, I feel as though I'm looking at the pre-injuries Essien that I've read about hundreds of times (who I never got to watch). He'd be a great signing.
No it's not in our hands, but last week we said the same thing to ourselves. Had we ended up beating Newcastle, we'd be in position to take over THIRD PLACE TODAY! Newcastle and Tottenham are both capable of dropping points vs Fulham and Everton.
Why would we want to limit ourselves to only qualifying through the CL final. We have to give ourselves the opportunity to qualify through the PL. That's suicide otherwise. Mata needs to play.
Does Drogba get the start because he's fresh, leaving Torres to start on Saturday, or does RDM hope to keep Torres inform and start him and leave the big big games to Drogba?
