Oscar

In terms of technical ability, epl is average imo....

And De Bruyne proved to be the best am on Belgium in the world cup, while hazard stunk it up...... It's funny that Oscar starting for every manager on brazil/chelsea, but he is shit... HAHAHA Better than anything Britain has produced in recent times.

Good gets bench on a shitty United squad instead.

Where has koke been this season>?

Mikel isn't the safest option. The spurs midfield is actually their strong point on their squad and like Jose, Pochetti loves a hard working balanced team. He literally replaced big names/transfers in sandro, capoue, huddleston, dembele and paulinho for mason and bentalb paired up with ericksen. Unless, Jose plans to park the bus and counter, Mikel shouldn't be the option, it should be ake or even play a three midfield of ramires-cesc and oscar.

William. Cuadrado. He gave that spot cause remy and ramires can both play there and no need to make an unnecessary buy in January.

Absolutely no contest who the best player in the world is... However, one thing I always hoped from Messi is that he changes teams one day, so we can see him play in a different league with different guys. When Pep goes to City, who knows if Messi will follow suit.

Zouma is different. He plays by default. Ake has cesc, matic, ramires, and for some reason mikel. The cb position is just cahill, jt and zouma. Hopefully, jose makes the better decision and starts ake with cesc, rather than mikel, because spurs midfield is going to rape chelsea, unless jose plans to park the bus.

5th am is ramires and remy. There is also astu, moses, piazon, traore, etc... It's irrelevant if hazard is an upgrade, because brown and boga are unknown players in the senior level. Jose will probably go to south america and find another am to sign in the summer and another cf, neither thorgan nor bamford will be them anytime soon.

Messi master class. Should of been more goals, but the first half was brilliant barcelona. I thought Rakkitic was outstanding as well. Suarez scored a brace, however, everything I watch barcelona play, he always seems like the odd person on the squad.

Time for Juve and Allegri to get smashed today...

i think camera replay will be neccessary eventually...

Wonder who an how much he goes for this summer... IF LVG is still on board, I cannot see Mata staying with United.

He was essentially loaned again, which is why he has a buy back clause unlike lukaku, kdb, mata or luiz... The 5th and 6th ams are ramires and whoever comes in to play striker next season with remy. Hazard nor bamford will be on first team next season.

Thorgan looks good as a chelsea player next season

They mentioned it in the broadcast about 100x... And did you see how many counters/chances they had today and it took a deflected goal as the winning goal?

I did watch the game and the announcers must of said it about 100x....

the amount of times hazard's passes got intercepted this game.... If oscar did the same, the same guys would be slagging him off forever.

It weird tbh. Willian slowed the play quite a bit on the counters and made a few bad decisions (NOT AS MUCH AS HAZARD). Maybe oscar's expectation is significantly higher than willian.

Zoumaed.

Completely shut out Lukaku

Kane really not a technical striker, but he works very hard for the team... Even if he doesn't progress, he is more useful in Chelsea than Lukaku is.

Saw some interesting stats on the internet on Neymar vs ronaldo. (via bleacher report). http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2359902-excluding-penalties-neymar-has-been-as-prolific-as-ronaldo-this-season Ronaldo has only one more goal than neymar excluding penalties...

Both ericksen and coutinho lost the ball numerous times today in a somewhat open game... on whoscored.. Coutinho had a 64 percent pass accuracy. Ericksen had 68 percent. Coutinho was dispossed 3x, while ericksen 2x. Coutinho had 1 key pass and ericksen had 0... People complain about Oscar, yet, when they say these 2 names as replacements, it really baffles me. If it was silva, pogba, modric, or someone along that line, I can understand completely, even if they don't fit Jose's tactics that much. However, neither ericksen nor coutinho is an upgrade from oscar.

However, Kompany is declining.. Your soul, your captain, your leader and best player... Who would replace him in europe 2016?
