I love how he loves to interchange passes and move, I think he is a must against parked buses. hazard needs an outlet like that to pass to

I don't think so. Pulis has turned the worst defence in the league into a top 5 defence. And is picking up points constantly

Did u see hazard's flick for salah to get the penalty??

I loved how he took the ball away from luiz when he realized luiz was lining up for the freekick shot. Luiz would have blasted it into the stands again

Exactly. His finishing seems better than oscars, but he never seems to be in dangerous situations. Maybe playing in the middle with a free role will do him a lot of good. I think him playing on the right means he can't cut in and shoot. And looking at his shooting technique he should play in the centre so that he can cut in to his right and shoot more.

Consistency must be his middle name

Keep him in the middle!!!!

I was pointing out our general team weakness, technical ability. Nothing wrong with admiting that.

Unfortunately we didn't play sturridge enough and mou liked faster and more versatile players than mata. But still compared to the top teams, our midfielders are a far cry technically.

No, we r just pouring more men forward in the box in this match

Did torres need to trap that??

What will he then do after hearing hazard say he could go to PSG if his wife says so

02I'm not talking of team play, I'm talkin about individual ability. Technical, means first touch, decision making/intelligence, dribbling, shooting technique, freekicks, passing accuracy. These things come natural, no amount of coaching can change this type of natural ability. I've seen our technical level compared to mancity and we are far behind. Hazard has gotten better so you can't say its the coach that has made ramires not to be able to make a 5 yard pass. They're just not top technical players.02 Nope, its pure decision making. Our players are simply not intelligent enough compared to top 5 teams in europe. That nasri goal is a pure decision making ability by the player. The coach is not controlling the brain of the player to lay it for a simple tap in. Torres had the same chance with silva today against crystal palace last week to lay it to someone and you see the difference in intelligence. Okay you've confused what I'm saying. I didn't base this on a team play but on an individual player by player basis. Player by player we are technically too weak compared to even liverpool. What I mean is that for example someone like lukaku is a good striker, but based on technicality alone, he's not even as good as papis cisse. I'm saying based on our individual technique we would be 4th in the league behind mancity, lpool, arsenal. Mourinho played very attacking football with madrid especially in his second season (121goals record) where he didn't quarell with half of the team. That 2012 madrid team, even their left back marcelo can dribble, pass, first touch, intelligent, and better technically than our whole current team bar hazard. Technical players gives a huge boost to tactics of a coach because they can't coach that.

Finally playing behind the striker today. I'm sure he'll have a good game

Do belgium players consider hiring people to advise them on Public relations? Its getting ridiculous each time any goes to speak

But we didn't expect that the rest we have now to be this poor technically, we will get into the 18box and give the wrong/stupid pass almost all the time. Or miss from 5 yards more than score. See how silva passed to nasri, (even though it was an offside) I'm 100% certain the rest of our AMs will sky the ball over the bar instead of laying it on a plate to nasri. Also see dzeko's goal, perfect cross from the best crosser in the league to his head. Pure technique even from their full backs compared to ours the gap is like heaven and earth. Sometimes we play like we don't have even basic technique, maybe its consistency but damn compared to top teams, I'm beginning to see how well we've done with the poor technical players we have. Even watching 8th place southampton, lambert has an equal if not better better technique than all our midfielders except hazard, that makes it easy to dominate possession and look attractive on the ball. Maybe we are overatted but its frightening how too many of our EPL title challenging players are uncomfortable on the ball.

Southampton remind me of us, dominate 40mins of the first half and somehow score only 1 goal from a penalty. But city like liverpool have 3 shots on target and 3 goals, if only we have more clinical strikers and Attacking midfielders.

I want salah to start. We've lost 2 of our last 3 against "park the bus teams" with our best 11. Something has to be changed and I think we need more intelligence in our play, salah should start.

I don't know why people have given up. I predicted we need 87 points to win the title, we made it difficult by giving ourselves no room for error, but if we win the last 6, 87points is a title winning tally and I will hold no grudges for the team if we pull off that. (When last did we even enter 80points??)

Lukaku is still young, just 20/21 and will only get better. Him coming off the bench and providing us with genuine goal threat next season is vital.

Before he completed 7-10 tackles per game and his pressing was visibly seen and he was everywhere on the pitch. That's what he's lost significantly imo. He just lost all his energy and I don't see the tackles he wins to get the ball to hazard early anymore. When he's not tackling and we know he isn't as creative as mata, he then looks so average and that's exactly what is happening. Just hope he's not carrying an injury and forcing himself through pain or something like that.

When we get out goal scorers up front (I'm beginning to believe mourinho is going to look for a goal scoring AM too) he will take off the attacking shackles and we would go more attacking, similar to what jose did in his second season at madrid, outscoring teams 5-2, because they got fire power up front.
