We are playing boring football I thought we had moved on frm this defensive type of football, to be honest I think Mou is not the right coach for us any more would hv loved Klopp. We haven't had a game were we we dominated and were thrilled by so far this season its like 2004 all over again we are goin back to being a results machine, win at all costs. Hazard cant even express himself the way he did last season, we barely create chances on goal and if u hv noticed most of our goals are from mistakes by the opposition.

quit your whining.

We are adapting to yet another coach(our 5th in 3 years) we have young players learning how the manager wants to play. Its gonna take more than 3-4 months before we get the right balance of attack, possession and defense...

BTW I really don't care how we win games sexy or ugly, the most sexy thing you can have at the end of the year is trophies! That's sexy to me!

Its gonna be interesting to see what XI Jose decides to go with. We have people who haven't played for a few games who need match fitness(Mata, Torres, Cole, Schurrle) but at the same time you don't want to disrupt a winning formula particularly in a champions league fixture.

I really love Oscar, I really do, I think he is a better player than Mata overall but I really can't handle seeing Juan on the bench... he deserves to play, the question is where?

4-3-3 looked fantastic on the weekend! I feel like that formation will be used more to free up the defensive responsibilities of our wide men. If I'm correct then playing Mata wide left could work.

For this game I'd like to see:

---------------- Cech

Ivanovic - Cahill - Terry - Azpilicueta

---------------- Mikel

-------- Ramires ---- Lampard

Schurrle ---------------------- Mata

----------------- Torres

What I think will happen is this though

----------------- Cech

Ivanovic - Cahill - Terry - Azpilicueta

----------- Mikel ---- Ramires

Schurrle ------- Oscar --------- Hazard

---------------- Torres

I liked the 4-3-3 but it saddens me that our 6 attacking mids are fighting for 2 spots then. Don't think it will be our main formation but we'll definitely see it more and more from now on.

Ya that's how I feel too.

If Oscar can ever adapt to a deeper role it would solve a lot of problems

Not necessarily. At least De Bruyne can easily play as one of the three central midfielders and I see no reason why Oscar wouldn't be able to adapt to playing there as well.

Mikel on Mourinho: "The way he has handled matters since he has come back has been quite brilliant - with the players."

Mikel: 'The manager made it clear after the home game v Basel the way we played wasn't acceptable. Since then we won every CL game.' #CFC

Are you watching it?
