This is exactly why Mata would not go to Man United unless he wants to be a winger again...

Jose said Mata would play RW prior to the Willian acquisition. I don't think KDB is Oscar sub, more like Mata is Oscar's sub and Willian will eventually over RW.

Pardew needs to be sacked next......

Crazy thing is I made a specific point how Jose had specific players he prefer and yet, I was bashed on this board telling me he would still play all three Oscar-Mata-Hazard. So, I completely agree with that... However, we have 6 ams for 3 spots and atm I see KDB as the last one on the teamsheet.

Anyone thinks he's going to get loan out this season?

I disagree, if everyone was on form EL NINO would be our best player by far.

Tottenham probably has the most athletic midfielders with Dembele, Sandro, Paulinho and Capoue.... In regards to Lamaprd, I think Jose rested him so he could play the cup game and rest Rambo for Tottenham.

Well, we played a ton of 4-3-3 this season. Even though Oscar is our #10, the formation usually turns from 4-2-3-1 to 4-3-3.... I'm not sure if he would do well in a 2 man pivot against pressing teams, however, epl teams cms aren't that good, so I suppose he could....

Give me some AKE!

I thought he signed an extension?

I don't see Mata on the team regardless. I really do think Willian was brought in to play/start rw for us and Schurrle to cover and provide depth to all 3 spots. KDB on the other hand, I really don't know if he has a future here........

I'll take a direct swap for Cavani or Lucas!

Is it a bad thing when your CAM is leading in tackles??? Oscar is such an amazing player. He's like 50 kgs, yet never backs down in challenges and always has his head up in the game. Yesterday, I saw a player that could of easily been demoralized after a few missed passes and having the whole team park the bus, however, he kept fighting through until the last seconds of the game. Oscar to me is looking like Chelsea captain material (hopefully he improves his English)...

If Mata does leave, where can he excel? Prior to all the transfers tottenham conducted, I thought the Spurs and Mata was a match made in heaven. However, with ericksen and lamela, I don't think they would need him......

I never understood where people got the notion that Oscar was going to play the pivot. (maybe in his 30s).

Good win. Rambo doesn't dart forward a lot this game. I wonder if that were direct Mourinho instructions....

As I said 6 months ago, Oscar will be chelsea's best player.

Hazard rarely dives. Oscar on the other hand is a different story.

Oscar will be the best player in the future on our current squad. Whether he is on Chelsea or some other team, he will be a world beater!

The reason Gotze is leaving? He is the favorite transfer of Guardiola," Klopp told reporters. "So if it's anyones fault it's mine. I cannot make myself 15cm smaller and learn Spanish! Gotze wants to work with this extraordinary coach that is Guardiola. "I cannot preach football of quick transitions and now start playing Tiki Taka." "I did not think Bayern wanted to annoy us like this. The rivalry does not go this far. "Somebody, whoever that might be, does not want us to be successful. But we will do whatever it takes not to let that happen. "If you react in the right way, you can gain strength out of every situation." "I knew the day after the Malaga second leg," Klopp continued. "So I had 24 hours to be happy about that result. "I can assure that nobody needs to worry about our focus. This is a now more important situation than it ever was. "I hope fans take the time to get over the change properly. This game is too important an opportunity for us to miss."

Old, funny video....

Not walmart, but I see where your coming from.... I cannot believe Chelsea fans are complaining about this.

2-0 Bayern....

Mang, do you guys think us beating Bayern made them into the monster they are now. Martinez Dante Pep Gotze. I wonder if Bayern won last season, if they would have gone out to make these changes...

Maybe they are ARSENAL. lol
