Stats

Yeah but not sure if it was down to where he was playing or just general wastefulness tbh. I wasn't aiming at you btw regarding Pedro. I thought Hazard went off the boil after his first assist. Fabregas was decent, Hazard too and Pedro imo who was involved more. But all players including Hazard made bad choices second half.

If Sanchez joins us he will not join us as a CF. It will be as a winger/inside forward. If Costa leaves, we will sign another CF to replace him but not Sanchez.

Let's be honest. Lukaku and Belgium struggled against Greece and only got that equalizer because Greece were sent down to 10 men. Apart from that he did not make an impact.

Weird how people have different interpretations on things. I thought Pedro was by far our best player today. He messed up sometimes on his final third productivity but was pressing all games, made great runs and for most of match imo, looked like only one capable of making something happen.

When he was playing like he did first half of season, he was scoring, not being drawn into players winding him up and you could see although he wanted to leave in summer, after he was happy to be here and was a reborn person but ever since that China offer/rumour came in, it as turned his head and he has gone back to his petulant acts of picking petty fights, falling over and crying wolf to the ref and looks more lazy. We could of scored a couple goals had he decided to move and make space. Hoping this is just a short fix but right now I am not concerned at sight of losing him as same way I am of losing Hazard.

He is quality but I agree with Barton in sense that he is overrated. He is brilliant, yes but I agree with Barton that he is not the best CM in the world. He does not possess enough technical qualities. IMO, Luiz has been as good if not better as a whole this season but he gets no way near same praise from the media. There has been a lot of games this season where he has not stood out and I picked it out on another forum that while he has been brilliant, he is not Mr.standout every game as everyone makes out. That is why if anyone asks me who is the best CM around, I don't say Kante because I feel he is the best at what he does but not the best CM because I don't think he has the other technical skills to make him standout.

TBH, I think Van Dijk will go Man City. They will pay big for him whilse I don't see Conte spending the same amount of money City are prepared to pay, because they need him a lot more. However if we do sign him, Terry will surely go then there will be a lot of competition and we may well unfortunately go out on loan or sold again. That is a worse case scenario though. Christensen has got too much quality and we already refused offers from Gladbach to take him permanently so that shows we really rate him.And come next season he may just force his way into the team. However I expect to see him return for pre-season and he will judge his competition and if we buy another CB and he don't get game time, he prob will choose to leave.

He also won Gladbach's player of the year last season. A season where they finished 4th and he was only 19 years old for majority of games he played last season. Top prospect. Glad to see it looks like he is back here next season.

We should be going after him regardless if Hazard stays or not. We got £60m for Oscar in Jan and I want us to get top quality players to improve us. We can outbid many other clubs for Sanchez and from what I heard he is happy to stay in London. He is a brilliant player and in fact with goals and assists combined is top rankings I think. Make this happen and test the waters. Gunners fans would never forgive him if this move happened

It annoys me when people look at assists and take that as face-value. Hazard has created so much chances where strikers miss sitters. Against West Ham the other night at London stadium, he created an easy chance for Costa which he fluffed. He also then done another brilliant piece of creativity for Costa which was excellently saved by Randolph. Matic might have more assists than him and Costa but truth is Hazard has created much more chances but the stats do not tell the story. Can guarantee you Hazard is leading our charts for most chances created and is prob in ranking in premiership.

He was decent imo when he came on. Defensively a bit too improve but his acceleration on the ball and dribbles were quite impressive. Kante was worse imo. Did not impose himself on game at all and France had no one to control the midfield.

Can see it happening if Hazard leaves. Pray that does not happen but in terms of quality him and Hazard, not much difference although I would take Hazard but we prob can buy Sanchez for half of what Real are preparing to offer for Hazard so although Arsenal want to sell to a foreign team if we offer much more money than them. they may not have a choice.

Yes. Who remembers this run he done for our U19 in the Uefa Youth League three years ago. A certain Leroy Sane was playing for the Schalke U19 in this game. The way he has accelerated to the top is amazing. But this run brings back memories of what RLC is capable of.

Crazy to think that Brazil continue to exclude him from the squad. Must be a non-related football issue. Brazil rarely seem to pick players on merit anyway. Him being left behind is our blessing

I can see him going Arsenal but don't see Wenger staying. He is such a talent but don't rate our chances of signing him because I think he will not be sure whether he will get regular games whereas somewhere like Arsenal you would think he will get in the team and might be more of a desired move for him. Wouldn't be surprised to see someone like Bayern go for him too as they need more younger players who can play the inside Forward role as Ribery and Robben are ageing and both injury prone.

They took him on loan because he was impressive for our U23 and is obviously very talented but after being seen in training, maybe their manager feels he is not ready physically imo. Playing at U23 and then going to play in a big mens league is totally different. Even if Charlton have a game in weekend then in week, he still does not get game time. Maybe the manager feels he is not as good as was expected to be but I feel his height is what will restrain him unfortunately. Really bizarre that he can't get into a struggling League 1 team.

I have the 2016/2017 handbook. It still has him listed as 5'4. I have not noticed him get bigger. Maybe put on weight but still looks very diminutive imo. There are prob a range of reasons why he is hardly seeing action at Charlton but I am sure the physical/height side of it is a huge factor.

I will miss Costa if he goes but I would not be too concerned if we sign Lukaku. He is getting better every single game, improving his all round play, especially his back to goal and scores goals and is 5 years younger than Costa and will be a brilliant long term option. He is only going to get better and I would rather us than another PL team get him. He is a boyhood Chelsea fan too and you would think if he came here with assurances of being no.1 striker, we would be his first choice.

Spurs are hardest opponents we could have got Outplayed us for both games this season and it was only their lack of finishing cut at the Bridge that turned the game our way. Don't know prognosis of Kane but if he is out that is a big bonus but Poch is a really good manager who gets best out of his team. They hardly lost a game in his absence so not going to be complacent. Can't wait. Glad that our players came out with no serious injury with their UFC style approach and can look forward ti Saturday and have Wembley on the way!

Another win against Thugchester United. Good. f**king thugs the lot of them. Kicking Hazard all over the place. How Rojo did not get at least a yellow I don't know and that stamp was awful. Credit Hazard for not making anything of it. Anyway, Kante and Hazard brilliant. Moses as well was very good tonight. Mourinho so bitter. Avoided a handshake by walking straight on the pitch. Although I appreciate what he done for us I can't lie in saying it feels great to get another one over Mourinho. His comments only just spur us on. I know Costa has proven that he has bad games before and still managed to score like Wolves and Swansea etc but when he is like he is tonight with performance and antics, just take him off. Going down for pathetic shit and going back to old ways.

Fucking thugs these guys!

We have an extra man. They are going to park the bus. We will need him on imo sooner than later to break down their defence. He will get a lot of time on the ball because of their situation.

Was very impressive for our youth teams and U21s but my biggest concern was always about his diminutive size. I have seen him struggle against really powerful wingers. I wonder if this is to do with why he is struggling to get any game time for a struggling Charlton team in League 1. Some have labelled him as next Ashley Cole because of his style of play but I don't see him making it here long term because of his size unfortunately. He has a lot of talent but that is not enough. Really you would expect him to be getting into Charlton's team easily but has not worked out at all.

Probably will be Fellaini up front Brilliant. Martial was the one who I was most scared about and now he is out makes brilliant reading coupled with fact they had a game on Thursday, I expect nothing but a win. Give Mourinho another beating.

Another goal. This guy is a serious talent. Already into double figures at age of 18 in a very difficult league. Goal after goal. Always been a big fan of his. Deserved his long overdue England U21 call up.
