Where is witsel? I can't find anything he's done so far...

Well if there were any doubts, now they know they are all shit. Either they respond and start putting chances at the back of the net or get shipped off in the summer.

ACL knee ligament injury is a different ball game to those other injuries. It has a bad track record, torres a star in it obviously.

That'll be terrible. Can't imagine that happening. If that case occurs, then we'll have to go all out sell more players and raise 80mil for suarez at all costs.

I hope so. He needs to take responsibility for us once again.

Mourinho said something similar about benzema in madrid. Higuain got injured and benzema was mis-firing. After that benzema became on fire and kicked on. Let's hope torres has strong mentality even if its a size of a peanut

Our strikers either react strongly to this on the pitch, or become more shit

Yep, even his decision making has gotten better even with common instances like that. I rate him and ramires on the same level in decision making and ivanovic has gotten better at it so I'm just noting it. But your right, its not yet for a long period of time. The fact that I can remember a dangerous attacking contribution from iva in different games is a sign of improvement. His closing down of crosses still sucks though.

I know he's fantastic. I'm just hoping he maintains a high form as we are approaching the business end of the season. We need him on form to close the season with a title if possible. I checked his dribbling stats, and its reduced again to november form. I'm not sure if its tiredness or if he is too relaxed after scoring his first hatrick. That's why I said I'm worried. Trust me I know the lad's quality, a future ballon'd'or winner.

What happened to the quotes where he said our strikers don't score? I also heard he said falcao shouldn't play in monaco?? Did he really say that??

I meant his crossing was more dangerous, having more swerve on them instead of just hopeful punts into the crowd or sky like most of the season. Let's be honest, ivanovic of early this season will never pass that ball on the floor on a platter to hazard against newcastle, he'll normally cross it above hazard knowing that he's not a tall dude. So he seems to have gauged his crossing/final ball better imo

Why that??

He had about 3 good crosses in the second half. I'm talking about the swerve on his crosses, before it was almost a hopeful lob into no one in the box but now it swerves into the striker. Infact he created a goal for hazard against newcastle, he created a chance for eto against newcastle that they blocked. He has put in 3 good crosses in the last match too. This past 3 matches is more good crosses than he has done the whole season imo. That's why I said he's getting better, I can actually now remember a proper chance created by him after each game.

How come skrtel didn't get a second yellow for the penalty decision :confused:

Bony is a good goal threat, but I don't like his agility. Too slow on the turn.

Like I said, willians best positions are on the left and in the middle. Especially if its his main position. He doesn't play as well on the right compared to the other positions imo. He's adapting well though, he'll be better. Having good technique always gives you an advantage over normal footballers

Truer words have never been said

Hop his injury doesn't get to essiens level. Fantastic player

Nice crossing in the 2nd half. He's improving

I won't lie. I'm beginning to get concerned about hazard. He's just got a little relaxed and gone back to early season form. I never wanted him to score that hattrick, (yet) I feel after that he's relaxed and is okay with what he's done so far.(Don't mind me I just get this feeling from his body language) I know he's double marked and so on but he found a way from december to january to skip past challenges and somehow complete above 10dribbles a match. Now he's not reaching half of that anymore. I hope its not tiredness already bcos he has a long way to go in the season and jose is trying to build his stamina to ronaldo levels, he's not getting any rest soon. We need him on form in this crucial last stages of the season.

Messi too had too many games for 2 years straight and he's not the same again. That's why barcelona are not as good as before. Oscar needs one or two weeks rest.

That explains why they complained he couldn't keep the ball to save his life

Back to form!!! Please don't go on a long torres break again

Showed us today why we shouldn't just wake up one summer and say: "you've been great for 10 odd years or so, but there's a new kid in the block, so you can fuck off"

Hope it was not a serious injury. I didn't watch the match but my friends wanted to hang oscar in the first half
