One of???Its the worst

We're loosing at the Bridge after leading 2-0 Looooooool

Unbelievable, he's a leftfooted willian. He won't take the game to the opposition even with the good technique he has.

He's not going to Roma till after their match this Sunday. No way we do that when we want to buy cuadrado from their opponents florentina.

Only when we are chasing a game. Mourinho won't be that attacking from the start.

Usa expected opec to reduce supply so that they can take some of their buyers with the oil they produce but they have refused to drop supplying. Infact I heard the general secretary of opec saying this is deliberate to drive off competitions from non opec oil producers who will be at a huge loss if they can't get any buyers like any new upcoming business would. Even a Saudi Arabian minister said they can go with this price for a while, and their economy can stay 8years with low prices because of excess foreign reserves. So the price won't go up any time soon imo, and even if it does I'm not expecting anything above 70dollars a barrel anymore.

This. Hummels has good technique but is as much of a brainfart as luiz, only even slower

Seems like a left footed willian to me. Just holds possession without actually beating his marker. Occasional screamer like willian does too once in a while but that's it. A big no for me. I'll rather get Felipe Anderson of lazio than him.

Willian just holds unto possession and recycles the ball. Cuadrado is by far the more direct player. He's completely different in the way he approaches the opponent. He will replace schurlle as our direct player.

Even Liverpool has realized that our weakness is that right side of our defence. They kept on attacking through there. I can't believe Mourinho hasn't seen this problem.

I think he's still backing off sterling.

Duff could dribble past his marker, how we miss that little detail on the right side now

If only hazard is given freedom, like that to go anywhere our attack would be even more unpredictable.

This is exactly what I was telling you before. Mourinho's weakness is we don't pass under pressure. Not that he doesn't know how to press, he's a master at that.

Spot on. But to be honest, that performance gives me no confidence in the Champions League against big teams. We just can't defend as well as we did last season. I am blaming this on the fact that a midfield of Matic-mikel-fabregas is too slow. If we try to defend any lead against any big champs lge team, we'll be in trouble unless ramires comes in for mikel or even Matic-ramires-oscar with two Brazilians providing proper energy we can recover and easily track fast runners. If Mourinho wants to defend with a very slow midfield like we did against Liverpool, we won't even make it to the semi-final of the champs lge.

Yesterday hazard was nullified by markovic and can on the left side. But I never expect any quality action play from our right wing so I knew our attacking play was gone as Hazard was having a poor time. He needs the other winger to take some burden off his shoulders and cuadrado is better than the rest of our right wingers at that.

@thechels What makes athletico better is because they also hold possession under pressure in big games, that's our real weakness and not pressing like you think. If we improve our possession play to conserve energy and relieve pressure we would be even better in the big games. The time they tried to sit back totally, they lost the Champions League final. So their defense isn't as impenetrable as you think.

Good, hazard can't do all the dribbling on his own. And we'll be getting a long range shooter and the top assists player in the worldcup.

We can press well, Mourinho just played out the match exactly as he wanted. Conserving energy and nicking a draw away and wait for the return leg. The difference was last season the midfield was faster with ramires and David luiz in it. This season we're easily turned by chadlii, cabella, sissoko, and now sterling. No recovery speed in our midfield especially since we have the worst 1 on 1 centerbacks for a top team.

Poor, not helped by everyone skipping past his partner mikel

Today hazard couldn't dribble past markovic and our attack is completely gone. The right wing offers no help in this matter of course. Cuadrado can help

Mourinho's style of attacking is to press the ball high with intensity and force the opponent to submission. This takes too much energy. We have Liverpool, Bradford and Liverpool again, just before mancity. Mancity have just 1 match in this same period. So Mourinho picks mikel and we sit back and conserve as much energy as possible and hopes mikel and Matic can shield the back from being too open. Taking a draw and going for high intensity with Oscar in the 2nd leg. He should learn how to hold possession, even if it's aimlessly to conserve energy, this our team can't sit back, unless we bench fabregas and mikel for ramires and oscar. That way everyone in the midfield is mobile and can tackle properly. Mikel is no David luiz and fabregas is no oscar.

Terrible in the first half, but better than all our attackers in the 2nd half

This

The number of times he lost possession because he couldn't control the ball was bad. They showed it on the analysis how he ruined Evertons buildups
