I heard we're not having a press-conference tomorrow, and the club is in full support of it. Whether it's because of the decision by the FA to charge costa so early than they've ever done for another incident, we don't know.

We've been crying out for a proper crosser from our players We've been crying out for a long range shooter We've been crying out for another proper dribbler to free hazard from too much pressure He's cuadrado, any other ability he adds is already a big bonus.

Hope the yellow against Liverpool didnt rule him out of the city game

The problem I have with this ban is Mourinho will play drogba in all 3 games instead of Remy

Rushing due process because of Chelsea right

Won't escape a ban because of the can stamp, we'll appeal so he'll miss from after the city game.

Gets under the opponents skin even more than drogba in his prime. Love it

Energy.... Him and Matic in the pivot should prevent people running at our Defence.

Finally, we needed him to make match winning saves. Neuer-esque saves there

Coutinho dribbled him around the pitch and it was annoying. Hope he's not injured we have a lot of small teams to play where he'll bag us some points

First half Second half

I have to hand it to the supporters, they were incredible. Noise from beginning till the end

I was looking for the words to describe him and here it is

I called it pre-match that ramires should start. I didn't see coutinho dribbling through the middle after he came on. Defending Speed for speed.

This is what I want too. He'll drive our play into the box which is closer to the goal than the wings. Example vs arsenal

Willian better than cuadrado??? :lol:

Fantastic style. I don't really know how you got the criteria for difficult away games because I saw crystal palace there, but good idea. Topic followed

Don't think we'll sign him. Everyone is staying put.

Slow defenders against pure pace. We need ramires speed in this to cope, and hope hazard and Costa are on their game today

Physical presence, drive, energy and long distance shooting. Mini essien. We probably need him for defensive cover in the big games to replace luiz of last season. Mikel is not the same

It will be so much harder to defend us if we have hazard and cuadrado on the flanks. Yellow cards for defenses and hazard won't have much burden to drive the team forward with dribbles

We have conceded 11 goals in january and the month is not yet over. Wtf Just terrible, I keep on watching us and realizing how bad our defenders are at man to man defending. They have got so used to parking the bus for years and they now don't know what to do when they get isolated once in a while this season because of our more attacking approach.

@optajoe 12 Most goals conceded in 2015 (all comps): Burnley 12 Swansea 12 Spurs 11 Millwall 11 Chelsea 10 Blackpool 10. Porous.

Best defense my foot. Madrid and Barcelona attack far more than we do and their so called rubbish defenders get isolated one on one against almost all their opponents they face but they handle it. Our so called best defense has finally played in a Chelsea side which attacks more than the previous ones and they can't handle any pressure unless we park the bus. Bullshit defense.

Best defense my foot, we play our best attacking football in years and all of a sudden our defence becomes shit. How do Madrid and Barcelona do it when they attack so much more. Our defence is shit
