Mata, Hazard and Oscar all have the same best position: #10 spot... Oscars problem is he is less versatile then Mata and Hazard, who are both pretty good on the wings aswell.. So the question is if Oscar should be given the #10 spot at the expense of Mata or Hazard just because he is less versatile, when he's clearly having a dip in form...

Well i more or less saw the game, stream was a slideshow so i cant vote Motm really. While its certailny odd that we are doing better away then at home, i feel our main problem is the pivot. At the start of the game,( when my stream was still good,) you could just see how hard it was to get the ball to Mazacar, it just went too slow imho. Theres been alot of talk about Fellaini, but im not sure If he would be the right player to resolve this issue... Maybe If he played with KDB in the pivot though...

Imho should play behind the striker until Oscar and Mata regain form.

I actually think have a point here, however, Hazard didnt determine his value, the market did. Ever since Zidane stated that he would like to see him at Madrid, his pricetag soared. I dont see how you can fault the player for that..As for his wages, according to Belgian press, he makes about 130k, euros.!. Witch would be about 30% more then wat he made at Lille, and nowhere near the figures that the English press have been spreading...

Henrique, Have you ever considered that part of the reason Hazards topic has more pages then Mata's is because you keep trolling it? Just look at the last few pages, and you'll see that most, if not all posts were in reply to a negative statement you made... So if you want Mata's topic to have more pages, you should just stay out of this one, and post something negative about Mata in his topic?

The way he was marked today deserved a sending-off though. That considered i thought he did rather well. Was involved in the first goal aswell.

OT: lukaku scored again!

He should get sent off soon enough if he keeps this up.

And Luiz has started shooting too high again..

uh.. Mata, Hazard and Oscar are all competing for the number 10 spot. He should probably be played in the pivot (He can play there afaik) or on the wings. OT What positions has Oscar played at his former club anyway?

He probably wouldve doen beter with Mata in the middle. I just feel either hazard or Mata shouldve started next to him. What Rafa tried was too much for a player with so little minutes this season.

Got very annoyed with Luiz last night. He did ok defensively, but kept slowing the game down, And why oh why did he keep taking shots from far outside the box? Not a single one was on target iirc. If something doesnt work youre supposed to try something different...

We can still do this. COME ON!!

Yeah i did notice that. No idea why that is though.

It would be a waste of money to recall him now imho. Sure he could sit on the bench and get some minutes whenever the first striker needs to be rested, but he would stop developing again and wouldnt reach his potential in a few years. Unless offcourse they plan on giving him alot of starts, but that seems unlikely at his age... I'd rather have a really good striker next year or the year after then a decent substitute now.

Eh? Hazard got 1 vote...

I honnestly believe money cant make Eden go to Madrid.. The only thing i can see causing him to make a switch is either lack of enjoyement of the game, or the inability to progress as a player. He wants to realize his full potential, thats why he came here in the first place...

Read the interview too, he also spoke about Benitez, said the better results are mainly down to the psychological aspect that a change in trainer always has, but still felt guilty about DM's sacking... Very positive interview though.. Now get ready for 3 months of mistranslations in the English tabloids :s

Would like to see his post match interview... Anyone got a link?

OK i pretty much missed the first half... How did he do?

Uh yeah i do lol. Didnt occur to me to actually try and find it on my telly. Cheers!

Ok guys, last game there was an HD stream up.. Anyone still know wat site it was from?

tbh i didnt expect him to score alot of goals in his first season in the PL. Eden tends to focus on helping others score first and scoring goals himself after. Next season i expect him to score more... At Lille he scored 7 times in 2010-2011 and 20 in 2011-2012...

i'm guessing its those new Nikes he's promoting http://theoriginalwinger.com/2012-11-22-nike-gs2-boots-lightest-fastest-environmentally-friendly-made
