Puts into perspective how important costa has been for us... The amount of balls drogba lost was unreal and he didn't win enough headers

We're practically crawling to the title. Incredible how we changed to this after January 17th against swansea. We've given up on leading anyone by more than one goal and we've scored more than 2 once in 3 months. Can't wait to officially win, it's been a turgid struggle for so long. Luckily for us mancity are going on their usual post title winning season collapse, losing more than they win this year

The thing is that Oscar has far better movement around the pitch than ramires. We don't have any other attacking midfielder in our team who moves around like him when but the other attacking midfielders are better than him on the ball. He moves around the play but his quality on the ball is his main weakness. Its a dilemma really.... We're not perfect in too many positions of our team.

Better movement and goalscorer than everyone in our team except costa

Normally when the rest of the team plays poorly he still dribbles and makes things happen. But today he lost that dribbling so we looked our worst ever this season. It didn't help that drogba couldn't pass after winning the ball in the air, Willian no impact again, fabregas terrible behind the striker again, Matic passing worse than ivanovic and ramires neither passing well or defending well. Hazard wasn't on his dribbling game for the first time in our poor performances and this made it our worst game this season

Proper football. QPR were spoiling my eyes

Couldn't dribble past a training cone today till oscar came on

Looked so Sloooooowww, poor passes throughout. Kept on waiting to be crowded and has lost his ability to dribble through in midfield

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...

Ivanovic zouma terry luiz Fabregas ramires Cuadrado willian hazard Remy

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.
