Irrelevant at this moment of time. Looks like it is another race to finish top 4

Time will tell. But on a football level, he is excellent. Even against us was absolute quality on Sunday

Can't believe there is no thread for him? Anyway stated it for a while now, he is currently the best performing left back in the PL. Another brilliant performance today, his goal was total class but his defending and attacking responsibilities all round were excellent. I would love him to be our starting left back next season. Cole is still a brilliant LB but he is declining and has made quite a few mistakes and lost a bit of his pace. Best LB in the Premier League IMO

Banned sounds as if he done something wrong, while ineligible sounds more efficient to use.

A bit of a harsh word. I say ineligible.

Yes, 27

But we still will be playing a very strong team and Benitez will take that game seriously.

A lesson to learn, never be complacent.

Berbatov got the overall man of the match primarily because Fulham won the game. I am sure if West Brom won the game, Lukaku would have been MOTM

Yannick Bolasie has been outshining him in recent weeks so Palace fans say and Zaha has been off form recently. I certainly think he should stay at Palace till the end of the season at least.

What? He was a handful and caused there defences all sorts of problems. I think you were watching a different game because you clearly did not watch the same match as most of us did

Fuck all of you lot for not mentioning me I vote for sheva anyway

Torres scored a hattrick this game last season. Chances of another one.....

No way, ridiculous to contemplate that.

Will someone ever nominate me?

Lukaku!!!

Mata needs a rest but due to this being a PL game, whether QPR are last or not we have to take it seriously and Mata is our best player currently so makes sense for him to start the match and be rested for Southampion in the cup

Torres will definitely start. There is no way Ba will start a match within 1-2 days of joining us.

Mata pulled all the strings for us. He has had more influential matches but he dictated the tempo of this match. How one could say he was our worst player astonishes. Look at most match ratings and they will reflect that he had a good game. There was some moments this match where he was a joy to watch. I thought he had a very good game.

Lol, you are living on another planet.

Mata is so much more effective than Silva. Struggle to see why he is not played more for Spain. Mata scores, assists. Really underrated. He is up there with the best IMO. His beard that he often has often makes me think he is a old man but he is only 24. Many years to go at this club

Demba Ba's performance against Arsenal was truly exceptional. Reminded me of how Drogba just use to bully other teams and be uncontrollable. Brilliant move for us, glad to see we are investing wisely.

Sturridge is not going to play for us again. Where have you been. There is a reason he is not being included in the match squads.

Despite his 'knee problems' he has never got injured for Newcastle IIRC. Would be a decent buy. My question is does this mean Lukaku is set for more loans and how does this impact with Falcao one must wonder?

Demba Ba is available for us if we want him. Wenger already said that he likes Ba as a player but Arsenal will not make a move for him. So it is all in our hands. It all depends if the board want to make another £50m for a striker or spend cheap on other less high profiled players
