great match by us tonight.

As I said in the live thread, André showed what Eden failed to do for us this season and was absolutely immense, both offensively and defensively. By far the MOTM.

I'm very happy with him and hopefully at any day he'll finally score and carry on from then on.

Mata and Oscar were good as well and had a few good linkups in the attack, but they paled in comparison to the German. Oscar also had a couple of nonsense turnovers, one of them very dangerous, btw.

Very sad for Fernando, especially because the knock that took him out of the match was when he was bravely tackling two Steua players to recover the ball for us under 2 minutes of play.

Ramires was also immense, not only because of the goals (and the additional times he presented himself in the attack), but he also made up for a few mistakes and Lamps' slowness at some points. Lamps wasn't bad, but I still don't like to see him playing 2x a week. I remember at least 2 times where he compromised, one of them dangerous in the first half as again he watched the opponent pass by him. Just like in the goal we conceded to Spurs.

Terry and Luiz were very solid as well. Very happy with our CB partnership. Sorry, Cahill, but I don't see you getting important matches for us if both are physically fit and I hope they carry on form.

Eto'o was again very active in the match - almost like Torres has been in the last two. He had some very good runs and I think we're finally headed to a better place with our strikers. They're progressing and hopefully they'll blossom in EPL this weekend and carry on from there.

And to make Cole justice. I complain a lot about how he leaves Hazard isolated, but he was always present to help Mr. MOTM today and really contributed with André.

Iva was solid in the back, but completely anonymous in the attack, but I guess that's because we concentrated most of our actions in the left and then in the middle.

Very happy, very proud, looking forward to this form to carry on.

Hazard wasn't missed at all and if he doesn't step up and André continues to play like this (Mou said in the conference chances for Eden to recover for Sunday are slim), I'll be very pissed on Mourinho if he drops André. We were finally efficient in counter-attack and it passes a lot through him.

Fantastic counterattacking peformance.

All the goals were counter attacks. Brilliant

Juan mata covered more distance than everyone in the first half :worship:

Thanks for this stat.

I'm so proud of him. I'm actually tearing up a bit.

Gotta love, the Special Juan. He's really the best guy ever - no one has better attitude and more class than our Maestro.

Still not there to his own level offensively (creatively), but he still has his moments of amazing passes and he's giving his blood and heart to defend.

can I call you a dumb bimbo barabara :wub:

isn't that like calling me a stupid girl who only has looks? :lol:

excuse my precarious English, but I'm so happy, so go ahead :D

It was fantastic from juan. A definite improvement and its making our pivot look better than ever since spurs 2nd half.

great performance and important win. but we also have to admit that Steaua was awful. seems that without the two players they have sold they look completely lost and play like a different team. were much better last year in the EL.

now two important games against schalke. if we win both, I think we are through to the 1/16

It's obvious that Mata brings this team together when he's 100% fit. That pass to Eto'o for the 2nd goal. :wub:

Andre is coming around, Willian showed signs of progress... I hope the AMs competition stays healthy throughout the season.

We were lucky because the Steaua players had bad finishing. But this big win is a massive morale booster and that's the most important thing.

Cheers!

Schrulle is a great player to have against the lesser teams. His direct play and constant attack of the defense really sets them back and causes them to panic. I still wouldn't play him in the bigger games, but hes a great against teams we should win against.

I mean that in the best way possible, since no result is guaranteed, but players like this add to the chances of getting the result you should against lesser teams.
