For some reason, any match we don't start with him, hazard struggles

Why have we lost the ability to pass on the floor. Drogba, Matic and fabregas have been so woeful its unreal

Lmao, if Remy is injured this game just got interesting

Just keep Matic out. We might find it hard to beat the smaller teams without fabregas

Astonvilla and Leicester city winning has made this match seem much harder. They're not going to go down without a fight, playing with a dull tempo is not an option

This is what Mourinho likes the most in a player. He can't work with anyone that has as much ego as him for long. Humility...

Oscar takes that title. But yeah, Matic has been terrible since the red card at Burnley

We'll get 89points imo. 90points depends on us beating the big teams which we've slowed down on this season

But oscar has played a lot at the right wing before, With us and even with Brazil. Is it a long shot to try him there till he regains his form? He's a better crosser than any winger we have anyways.....

My hope for Oscar is that midfielders in general seem to get better at age 25 till 29 When oscar gets there, he'll have more maturity to his game and probably realize his full potential. I still don't know who is available and a far better player to replace him in our 4-2-3-1 formation unless we can get reus for 45mil.

His main flaw is he doesn't have Koke vision to see people's runs and send vertical through passes. This means not a lot of chances created with all his skill. But he has technique, strength to hold the ball under pressure, dribbling, shot power, and ball control. He's still good but not Koke quality because he's not as creative in keypasses.

You are judging based on the value of players we had before Mourinho came. That team which Mourinho inherited that didn't grow out of a tree would have been competing with Liverpool for 4th place judging by the 75points tally we got that season. Mourinho inherited a team which was fighting for top 4 like Liverpool till the last day and eventually came 3rd in the league with 75points. He's turned them into title challengers in his first season with 2 games left (82points, 4 points behind the title) and is about to win two trophies in the second season including the league we last won 5 years ago with a net spend of around 20mil. If that's not progress then I'm lost

Schneiderlin is perfect for adding steel in our midfield. The tackling of Matic and schneiderlin combined with abilities to pass will give us back the big games edge we lost this season, while we still maintain our flat track bullying we mastered this season.

100mil euros or 80 mil pounds

Koke + Reus = 75-80mil and were set to go.

I heard city had only two players that played against crystal palace under 29 years old and kompany turns 29 on Friday.... In two years they'll need serious surgery

Muller is a striker /forward while KDB is an attacking midfielder, so obviously strikers normally have below 80% but not midfielders. I'll obviously love some risky passes as long as we can press and collect it back when the pass is poor. But compared to midfielders in top teams in the Champions League, I'm struggling to remember who has below 80% possession (75% to be exact)

Are we desperate to get a homegrown player

Taxes And change

This is the performance we were talking about

I watched the match and Neymar was terrible. I said in some other thread that cuadrado performance against Stoke was better than this Neymar performance. I don't think hazard can play that poor.Once Neymar doesn't get those cheap freekicks he used to get, he loses possession too much.

I'm I the only one who doesn't like that he has below 80% passes completed?? It starts to get ugly when all those risky passes keep getting misplaced for long match spells

How do the newcastle fans feel now? They drove away a good manager and it has exposed how shit they actually are

one of the Mourinho quotes of the season
