Reddish-Blue

I can understand Luis being unhappy, he's not a guaranteed starter at LB and he misses his Atletico team mates

Lukaku was their best striker and Barcelona offered to waive the loan fee if Deulefou played in more than 50% of Everton's EPL matches I really wish we would only loan out players with guaranteed playing time

Not sure why we loaned him to Everton, such a wasted loan spell

I just don't see Southampton finishing top 4, they'll probably finish 6th at best My prediction: Chelsea, City, Arsenal, Spurs/Liverpool Hopefully United miss out, would be great to see who Van Gaal manages to sign without UCL football

I don't think he can show any more in attack because he is not a naturally creative player. He's basically a jack of all trades but master of none type of midfielder

I was a youth development coach in the past and from what I've seen, Oscar is nothing more than a squad midfielder. He'll have some really good games and then he'll go missing in the second half of the season due to whatever reason I can see why Jose is keeping him in the team, he offers defensive cover for Cesc and he doesn't seem to be the type that complains

Got the win against Villa and City failed to beat Hull, great day in the EPL

Couldn't agree more...we would look so much worse as a team if Mata was our CAM. I'm glad we sold him for a good fee

To be fair, since their 2-2 draw against Arsenal (21-12-14)...Coutinho has been their best player and he seems to be switched on

I don't think we need a natural #10...I'd rather invest that money into the CB position and sign a class defender capable of filling the gap left by JT

The issue is that Oscar's best performances have come against mid-table to relegation threatened EPL teams....he hasn't scored or assisted a single goal against a top 6 side this season Against the big teams, I would love to see: Hazard -- Willian -- Cuadrado

Would love a win in this game, just to piss off Paul Lambert! But..you just know Villa will play their best game of the season against us

In Zouma's case, would he have started consecutive games if Cahill wasn't going through a rough patch of form?

Always had a soft spot for Ghana since the day we signed Essien, hope they win the AFCON

Thats a fair point, I just wish the coach would give one of the youngsters a run out every now and then

Could you provide examples of when we replaced experienced players with untested youth from our academy for a prolonged period of time?

As long as Liverpool don't win the trophy, the media's circle jerk will be tolerable As for Louis, he's already a genius in terms of coaching

Would rather United win it than Liverpool or Arsenal

I don't get the point of constant loans....if a young player isn't going to make it, sell him off like Bruma

Baker is on loan at Sheffield Wednesday

I'm not denying that Cahill did well last season..but that was more to do with the way Mourinho set up the team.. When we sit back, Cahill generally performs well..but when he is asked to play with a bit more risk/higher defensive line, he seems less secure and panicked as a defender. I'm just trying to say that Zouma has alot to learn and Cahill may not be the right player to use in a higher defensive line...signing a quality CB for next season wouldn't be a bad option for Chelsea...

I'm still left wondering what went wrong with Josh McEachran? He gets a chance under Ancelotti, wins young player of the year...and then goes on the typical loan merry-go around until one of the Championship/League 1 clubs decide to pay a fee for him

If Cahill - Terry is Jose's first choice CB combination after this season, all Chelsea fans should be worried...

Unless Schalke are inspired like Wolfsburg, I'm expecting a 2-3 goal win by Bayern
