Stats

First. I don't need you telling me what to do. Not to sound rude but I will post what I like unless a mod differs thank you as I just admitted the truth from what I recognize from a lot of his posts and many other people seem to notice too as I was referring to his post and did not actually call him a name. Secondly I don't take too kindly, him talking about a legend at the club like that. Maybe he could speak about Lampard in a better way maybe.... I think that is what offended me the most Maybe I could have worded it nicer but as explained above that is why I wrote it like that. But on the Matic partnership issue I reckon while Matic and Ramires will work out, Matic and Lamps would be decent as we have a player in Matic who can dictate possession from deep and allow players like Lampard to do what he does best in going forward. I certainly don't think the signing of Matic means Lampard's playing time will be reduced dramatically tbh.

Sometimes you really do chat the most amount of shit on this forum!

He failed to make an impact? Majority of the time he was played out of position and got into double figures. Most times I remember he was not given the chance to play up front and played on the right wing and scored a lot. He performed, proved his worth but was not given the chance to play where he wanted to because we stuck with Torres up front. The point you make about hindsight is not true because many people would have guaranteed we were going to regret selling him to Liverpool before he even started scoring for them.

Will not happen because Ancelotti already said that he chose to let Ozil go instead of Di Maria because Di Maria offers pace and more directness. Mata's playing style is similar to Ozil's so it would not make sense for him to make that move. Those rumours are rubbish. Probably no truth in it.

He will work hard yes but I would rather hear Huddlestone will keep an eye on Oscar thank you

Liverpool fans have not been impressed with him at all during his loan stint. Apart from the first two games or so, he has done really poor and their fans say his attitude and performance levels have been poor and want him sent back to us. He got subbed of just after 46 mins today because of how poor he was playing apparently and I would probably agree with them considering that even with the likes of Sturridge, Gerrard being injured he cannot find a way into the first team and has lost his place to Sterling so far and when Sturridge comes back and if they do get Salah he will probably be even more marginalised. Thought it was harsh when we initially loaned out Moses now but thinking about it now I am much more content with the additions of Willian and Schurrle than having the likes of Moses in my team. Would of like to say the same about KDB but a shame it has not worked out for him.

No he doesnt. Team v Derby: Schwarzer; Azpilicueta, Cahill, D Luiz, Cole; Essien ©, Mikel; Ramires, Oscar, Willian; Eto’o. #CFC

He won't join us anyway. Most likely will join Liverpool eventually.

They aren't going to swap one of the best strikers in Europe who still, despite not always playing in his natural position has got into double figures already and certainly will not be doing no swap deal for arguably the best CB in Europe. Get real Don't see why so many people pay any attention to these silly rumours. No truth in it at all.

Like I said, he is not lazy. Far from it and all his hard work for Everton is why he needs a rest at some point. He is no way a poacher who simply stays in the box. He works hard and with Martinez playing style, he has everyone pressing which includes the striker working back. Also I hope for that point you have never ever suggested us getting Falcao then. If he was here and scoring more than our strikers we would be top. That is the difference.

He always works his socks off. When Everton beat United at OT he worked his socks off running back and forward while ripping Vidic and his other partner to shreds. Another conclusion you seem to keep jumping to. Same way you said this stuff about Aguero scoring more than him at his age... bla bla bla... you were tested on it and you could not reply because you know your statement was pure rubbish. Most importantly he gets goals and you said "he could improve". Of course he is going to improve. He is 20 and one of the highest scorers in the prem despite missing a few games for Everton at the start. And oh yeah, while it is good for strikers to work hard, I would much rather have a striker known for scoring goals!

People are living a fantasy world if they expect to see the likes of Ake and RLC or any other youth players in the team. The FA Cup is a big trophy and Mourinho won't be playing any youth players for sure. It is a trophy he wants to win. That has always been the policy here.

I would agree had his loan reports been very impressive. Like Josh, Nathaniel is not a regular starter and I must put this down to form. I know one can argue he would find it easier to settle in playing with us because of the better players around him but if he wants to earn starts and a place here he has to prove it out on loan first imo. If we bring him back from his loan to not play we are wasting him imo. He needs games and even if he has not been that impressive at Forest, he will know he needs to step up his performances a notch. Sounds harsh but I would not be content with settling with a player to come in midfield for us while he can not get in a Championship team on a consistent basis and I highly doubt Jose will be willing to take that risk.

Age, combined with lack of body strength and loss of his general pace which is often why he is a liability. His excellent last ditched tackles and blocks remain though

He has had to sit out many games because of injuries and that is a worry for me. He has more than once this season had to been subbed off during the match because he has picked up knocks/injuries. Look at Sterling for instance. Same age bracket but is rarely injured. He got a minor injury towards the end of last season but there was times that they were playing him like 90 mins every game and he was able to play on. Shaw picks up far too much injuries which is a shame and I don't think you can link that to his age.

Well at least Mourinho got the subs right. Both have been influential and Oscar set up Willian. Nice

Poor is harsh. He was decent imho. The BT sport commentators seemed surprised as well, just like Mata. But the subs have seemed to make an effect so team before player

52 mins is not a standard for a player of his class. Quite a humiliation IMO.

Mata was not happy at all and understandably so. Schurrle looked poor but to take Mata off, can see why he was disappointed. Hopefully the decision works out but never seen Mata express so much disappointment.

Shaw got so much potential but for such a young kid picks up far too injuries which might be a continuous problem when he gets older. Reminds me of Ledley King. Hope it does not affect his career but picks up injuries quite easily.

Nice article. Surprised he has said Thorgan is physically stronger than Eden though. Thorgan is a lot younger and has been playing in a league that is not as physical as the Premier League. Even though Eden Hazard is not the biggest he has one of the best balance in the whole of the PL which is why it is so difficult to knock him off the ball. Thunk that is too early to say he is stronger than Eden but if he recognises that Thorgan is also got good balance that is a good sign as when he gets older, this will help him as he will have the pace and technique combined with the balance to make it in the PL imo.

Definitely starting to show what we all knew he was capable of. Already on 8 PL goals, 1 short of his goal tally in the PL for last season. Tremendous performance today and some of his individual brilliance this season has already proved to be the decisive factor. Sunderland, Swansea, Liverpool. Hope he keeps it up because players like him can be the difference from turning nothing into something.

Just realised. Crazy!

5 PL goals this season already! Scored more than all out strikers and almost more than the amount all three have scored combined

Bullshit! Aguero at 20/21 had 17 league goals and in the following season had 12 league goals. Lukaku has got 8 PL from 13 league starts already and is way on course to get up to the 20 mark. Jesus Christ, he goes 5 games without scoring and all of a sudden he is not our quality. RVP had his dry spells last season and this season too but quality will always eventually show. When you are 20, playing every week because you are much better than the other strikers there it is natural for him to slack of a little. But get your facts right please because if you compare what Aguero done to Lukaku at the age of 19, while Lukaku was at WBA, you cannot compare the two. Lukaku got 17 league goals right last season at a much inferior team. Find me proof to show Aguero done more than Lukaku at around the same age. And also many players in there 20's, like Drogba had not even been on the big stage and you are hear judging Lukaku at 20. Give him a break! He has been nothing short of excellent this season and is a big reason why they are up there with the likes of City, us, Arsenal and Liverpool. Can't even believe you had one person like your post, let alone bloody 3! Sorry your post is absolute rubbish and untrue. He is showing signs every season that he is going to be a world class striker and he is getting better and better!
