Stats

Well when he played in the no.10 position against Croatia he was struggling to get in the game. Scolari moved him over to the RW and it worked wonders. His high work rate and sublime crossing made him suitable there and it got more out of Neymar.

They are around the same level. Rodriguez has had a better WC, yes but him and Hazard are very similar players. I don't think there is much between them but I would have Hazard right now. But if I had the chance to have both of them in the same team then yes please.

But let me guess, you did not say he was better than your golden boy Oscar? And he is having a brilliant WC but no I would not say he is better than Hazard. Near the same level but imo not better than him.

Well if it as a playmaker/no.10 you get much more out of a player like Rodriguez. Oscar combines well with the team etc, scores a few and works hard but he is not your typical no.10. Rodriguez on the other hand excels at dribbling, makes brilliant passes and scores goals. No surprise he was the top assist make at Monaco last season. But I would like to keep Oscar and think he will stay unless PSG offer silly money but tbh in a system that had Hazard, Rodriguez and Willian for instance we would be much more devestating on the attack. Hazard would excel more imo from this as well as Rodriguez is a tricky player who can play excellent precise through balls where the likes of Hazard and Costa can have plenty of chances to score from.

TBH with you he has been very silent. Apart from that he has been poor and not offered anything on an offensive side of view.

I am not his biggest fan nor am I his biggest critic but I don't really know what is top quality is. He can do most things but he is not excellent at any of it. But you compare him to players like James Rodriguez for instance, he is an excellent dribbler, passer and has loads of flair. I would say Oscar's best attribute is his work rate but that is not the best quality you want from a no.10. That is why I think he is inconsistent for club and sometimes country. He has no specific ability that will trouble opponents on a regular basis and imo this is why he often struggles to make a key influence in games regularly.

James Rodriguez is going to be wanted by many teams I can imagine. Been one of the starts of the tournament, if not the star of the tournament. Comes on second half and scores one and assists 2. Only 22 as well

Let's not jump to such conclusions. Origi is not better than Lukaku. He has been a better fit for Belgium so far and has got involved more and been a better impact player. Is he better than Lukaku? No he is not. 2 poor games does not make him a poor footballer. But he definitely needs to improve his attitude on and off the pitch. But like Willmots said, he was frustrated. I don't read too much into that reaction. If he simply walked of and sat down I and possibly others would be thinking he is not passionate about playing football. Different interpretations tbh. Aguero has had 2 poor games but that does not mean if Palacio goes and scores 2 goals he is a better player. But hopefully this justified criticism spurs him on. He is still in a learning process but like Origi has been used for Belgium so far, that is Lukaku's best fit for us. Costa the main striker and Lukaku as an impact player. Think it would work wonders.

2 poor performances from Lukaku seems to make everyone think he is a rubbish striker all of a sudden. Let's remmember that he still has had a very solid season. Yes Courtois has been delivering by talking but judging by our strikers inconsistent displays, Lukaku has performed well and certainly better than all the strikers we have. Lukaku had a good season, let's not forget that. He has been poor at the WC so far and while he has spoke a bit too often he is justified to feel he deserves a chance here.

Been excellent so far against Dzeko and co. Hope Mourinho is taking note. Excellent shift he has had in defence. Like the look of this lad

PS3 mate.

Most of the time.... hmm... I say giving people an ass-whipping at Fifa

I am all for getting Costa and a huge fan of Cavani but those 2 games are meaningless. To be honest with you when Atletico played us over 2 legs he was nothing special same as Cavani. However when we played Napoli couple years back at their ground he was excellent and was a handfull all night long and think he got a goal and an assist. Looks unlikely we will get him but on the player himself he has always been a favourite of mine. Excellent work rate, powerful, acceleration and scores goals.

I have got the season review every single year and I must say the Chelsea TV commentary has always got on my nerves. I would prefer if it does the actual match commentary. Hope this is the case. Just recieved mine through the post earlier today. Can't wait to watch it

Don't really have one tbh. Let me just go for 'blue is the colour' :blue scalf: Don't drink beer

I guarantee you 100% Spain will be playing at the next WC. Your hatred of them is quite extreme.

Yeah. Bayern should get rid off Robben for that reason then. Logic

The bar should be set higher for him because he is reported to be joining us for 32 million and is older. Costa imo has had 2 awful games. You are not one of them but it annoys me when people set one type of standards for one player and different for another. The slate he was getting here was way overboard yesterday. He was poor but the creativity from the midfield was poor while Lukaku was playing.

These pages would be on the 368 mark had Lukaku been playing in Costa's position tonight but surprise, surprise the excuses for Costa are that he has recieved no support. BTW that is true but it is funny that when it is Lukaku it is that it is his fault. Some people just wait to pounce and slate you unfortunately because they have made their mind up.

Catfished? Take that offensively. Only joking but just because I was not born/raised there does not change how I feel or make me any less Jamaican. I just classify myself as more of a Jamaican due to family. My location has never actually said Jamaica. Just the flag shows there. If I wanted to 'catfish' I would say my location is in Jamaica . Anyway like I said not offended, just humour 1) I would be invisible because firstly I can't help but be nosey and having the power to listen to conversations without people knowing your existence is brilliant. 2) Las Vegas. 3) I would allow players to celebrate how they want. Well to be more specific, players who take off their shirts celebrating or celebrating with fans should not be booked because celebrations is part of football. When you score a goal you are so overjoyed and seeing players potentially getting sent off because of a celebration really annoys me. Just add on time. 4) Put it in a sperate bank account and just think "what am I going to do with all this money" but the first thing I probably would buy is a luxury house. 5) 21. 6) University. 6A) Sports Journalism.

Because Belgium don't play like Everton

Lukaku was poor but he definitely will start against Russia. Well Origi won't start. If he was to drop Lukaku he probably would play Mirallas up front but can't see him doing that. Not denyig Origi made an impact when he came on but he was a good option of the bench and I think Wilmots will use him the same way against Russia.

Chelsea winning another CL. I would love to see Jamaica qualify for the WC but I just love Chelsea and could never actually want us to lose a match regardless of who it is. True Blue!

1)Well I will say my top 3 favourite Chelsea players whilst I have been watching them. Lampard, Hasselbaink and Didier Drogba. 2) I know of club teams in Jamaica but don't focus on it at all. 3) Yes. It is brilliant. The excitement of the athletics reaches the top with Jamaicans. Specifically the 100 and 200m races where we are bound to win. Yes the one with Bolt, Blake and Weir was amazing. The way we jumped up in excitement and joy... shame we can't qualify for the WC because if we did there would be so much support from Jamaicans and the rest of the Carribean. 4) Ajax 5) Raheem Sterling.
