When your backline consists of Kaboul, vertoghen, walker, naughton, dawson and rose, Lloris needs to be agressive since those scrubs can't defend.

People think Shaw is the next Lahm.....
At 11.5m, Coentrao should be a no brainer...

For the reported price, £11.5M, can't believe we aren't after him

Because he played for WB and Everton. Playing for Chelsea is a different thing.

Agreed, best shot-stopper in the Premier League bar none.

I think Lloris is one of, if not the best keeper in the world behind Neuer at coming off his line and rushing, it's what he does. It's one of his strengths. It's valuable in some systems i.e. Bayern's or Barca's game. No, he really isn't. He's having a bad year because Tottenham in general are a joke this season but that doesn't mean he's bad.

Lloris being bad this season has more to do with Tottenham's tactics and general performances. He's kept the score down for them plenty of times this season. Deserves to be at a better club, really rate him.

The thing with POTY awards is that most of the times, the performers of the second half of the season get all the praise and everyone forgets how everyone was performing at the start of the season.

I love Cavani.
Plays with fire and doesn't back down from anyone...
I fear Cavani leading the charge, moreso than Zlatan.

I think with Willian there a few things....
Hes right footed playing rw.
He would excel either lw or cam....
Also, I feel that today he was with runners, rather than hazard and oscar....Had Hazard started, I really don't think willian would of had the same impact...
I voted willian MOTM.

Without blue tinted glasses, now you guys understand why David Silva was always a better player than Juan Mata.

Di Maria went from a headless chicken under Mourinho to arguably the best player at Real this season (at least most consistent).
Look how great our Juan Mata was when he was deployed as the rw under Mourinho..

While your at it, we should replace hazard with cristiano and willian with bale and bring in cavani as well.

You can say all you want about how crap he was the previous game, however, without the Matic signing, we would not be in the epl title race.

I can't even begin to tell you how disappointed I am with that kit.

Lol no way. United's checkered shirt kit was awful. Also, the MS powerpoint Barcelona kits from last season

adidas gives Real madrid better kits.
we should switch to Nike.

I bet if Willian was on Tottenham as the Bale replacement, everyone on this board would of been saying "why didn't we sign Willian when he wanted to come to Chelsea and is a Chelsea fan."

To be fair if we do progress how do you fancy our chances against Barcelona/A.Madrid, Bayern or Real? maybe it's a blessing in disguise if we get knocked out.
At the end of the day this team isn't completed yet, we have no striker, only one great Midfielder who's not eligible to play, a right back playing as a left back, and finally a goal keeper who's had it easy for far too long.

That is very true. At Mou's Madrid Di Maria was often labelled a headless chicken, now look at him. It has more to do with the coach's instructions IMO. Ancelotti's teams have always been great going forward because he implements a good system for his front line, that hasn't been the case with us unfortunately, we look lost in attack a lot of the time.

I'm telling you that these top strikers have scoring ratio less than 25% most of the time and they are able to flourish and score as many goals as they do because their respective teams are usually very creative and they are constantly fed with top quality service to work with. The amount of chances Aguero, Suarez,Cavani miss is mindblowing but they are allowed to do that because they usually have plenty of opportunities over the course of the game to rectify their mistake.
How many dead easy/ clean through on goal/one on one/easy tap ins have our strikers had this season and missed. I bet it's not even up to 8 . but we are led to believe the team creates chances which our strikers often fail to capitalise on.
With our current set up and tactical approach any striker would struggle (by their usual standard) and wouldn't perform optimally because we do not provide the right conditions for strikers to flourish. it really is that simple.
We might score more goals but it will simply paper over the cracks.
We need to address the underlying issue first and foremost.
