Hazard is frustrated by the stupidity of his teammates. We've seen him raising his arms many times in the first half. Hope Conte won't come back with matic but I'm sure he will

How many misplaced passes Matic will end up with? Most of them quite basic. I am pissed beyond words with him Sent from my SM-J700M using Tapatalk

We need to bring Zouma and move Azpilicueta to the wing

Diego talked to a Brazilian journo for ESPN. He said he has no interest to leave England now and go to China Sent from my SM-J700M using Tapatalk

I'm so done with fucking Matic Sent from my SM-J700M using Tapatalk

I think we need to start giving Happy some playing time and eventually displace Azpi from defense and move him to the WB position and move Moses to the bench. Moses is struggling to keep up physically (which is not surprising, he must be among the players that cover the most distance in the team). Moving forward to next season we need to an upgrade on Cahill and depending on how Zouma fares (you never know how players recover from such a hard knee injury), make it two. Alonso has been a great stop gap, but he also can't be here as a starter another season, unless he takes great strides (unlikely) from now until the end of the season. I also hope we have another AM in the window, we can't go with two average players - that despite having good seasons, can have too many invisible matches in Pedro and Willian. Not only we need depth, but we need more quality as well.

You jinxed too. Sort of anti-jinx, but you know what I mean

Cahill is painful to watch Sent from my SM-J700M using Tapatalk

Batshuayi beyond selfish now. This kind of play won't do him any favors from the boss Sent from my SM-J700M using Tapatalk

Willian is playing better...

Is that our best finisher? We are doomed lol Sent from my SM-J700M using Tapatalk

I don't like RLC, period

as far as I know Terry is still injured. But I meant his conditions to actually be inserted in the team. For better or for worse, the defense isn't that bad... I don't know if Conte would dare to change now

he definitely has the edge on pace, but with Pedro and Hazard in the side - and actually playing each on a different side of the pitch, Moses's pace is definitely overrated. I would rather have Azpili there. The big question is, where does Zouma stand now? We have no idea how he came back from injury after such a long time.

what if... and maybe that makes no sense, so help me,. What if in the future, not now, we move Zouma to defense, Azpili to midfield to play where Moses is playing (he's the one that has been showing the most signs of tiredness and I think he's been overachieving the most). We will have a taller defense, Azpili is much better than Moses defending, but it also means we depend more on our attacking trio. Of course,that would also be a stop gap. AS I said in Conte thread a few days ago we need replacement for Oscar, backup for our wingbacks and moving Azpili to that position, we also need to replace Cahill in defense. While he hasn't failed recently, we all know he is subpar and we should have better defenders than him. It doesn't solve the Alonso problem, that I agree, needs improvement (then again I also think Moses needs too), but at least gives you more options and a taller defense. If we take Azpili away from the defense he must play in midfield, there's no way we can remove him completely from the lineup. He's too valuable and useful for that and has given sweat and blood for us in his years here, not to mention his consistency - which is incredible.

Things didn't click today, we didn't play well and it made it look like they played much better than they actually did. They played much better in the first half at the Bridge. Our aerial weakness have been exposed in the last two games. Now we move on, without the weight of the winning streak over us, losing three points here, but only one compared to second place and I'm confident Conte will work on the things that appeared in the last two games. It must be said though that some players have been overachieving, and even playing only once a week, they are human beings and could be getting tired. Good thing January is a month we can rest a bit, especially as we are already out of LC and our FA Cup match is a nonfactor that I'm sure will figure more than half of the reserve team, if not nearly everyone. We must look forward. Some kind of people really bother me when in face of the first bad result they see problems everywhere, complain about everything. There are areas to improve, that's for sure, but that's still the same team that went on the hot streak.

we definitely need someone to replace Oscar. When Pedro was suspended, we didn't have anyone to replace Willian in the game if we needed or wanted to have another AM. That's a fact. We also don't have replacements for our wing backs. Ivanovic ain't one. He only comes when we need to close the shop towards the end of matches. If Moses or Alonso get injured or suspended, there is no one to play their roles, unless we improvise. There's no way Kenedy, who has just been reintegrated to the team would play. And that's not even considering improvement in the starting XI, as there are some positions we could definitely use improvement, in theory (because fact remains Pedro, Moses and Alonso are overachieving or playing out of their mind, you choose your vocab).

he did in the weekend and repeated it today - at least that's what I read in reports both in English and Brazilian media. He said he could manage for another three more years, but that Man City could be his last work

Too bad (for his personal stats) he went to Barça for three years (too good for us because there's no way he would leave Arsenal to come here). It means he will never come even close to Giggs. I hope he stays with us for a long time, although I'm not sure he would like to stay being used sparely because there's no way he can play all kinds of matches. But against mid-table teams and lower, he's the perfect guy and I hope he reaches at least 120 assists in his career in the Premier League. You know I love the man

he's speaking like that because he's a bitter sore loser. Ask Ibra about that. Or many other players who used to work with him. He said he wanted a challenge when he came here. It looks like he wasn't up to the challenge of being challenged. Dude already started talking about retirement for God's sake.

jinxed Liverpool here. My work is done

and mentioned the offside goal, which is what has been pointed out to you. Did we have some mistakes? Of course, we did. He mentioned what he was asked... which was conceding twice. His tone wasn't complaining in my opinion. People here love to nitpick and point out every single mistake we make, as if football presentations were supposed to be perfect endeavors.

Actually the headlines for his interview was he was very happy. Speak for yourself, not the manager

both failed and contributed to their two goals... especially Kanté
