Cesc, does it!

[Sheva. 5,373]

Great goal.

[Barbara 15,149]

the best part is that they hate Cesc. An assist and one goal. PERFECT

and that a touch to get rid of the opponent. The strike wasn't exactly what he wanted, but the touch before, was

The worst part is that I forgot to select him on my FPL team, lol.

Mourinho has to start thinking beyond the usual though. We're gonna end up giving away a vital game with this type of approach.

[The Skipper 20,593]

and that's why we're looking a lot like last season right now... which is not a good sign

I'm saying exactly that, if Jose wants to use Cesc as #10 sometimes we NEED to sign someone because playing Mikel is destroying the progress we've made.

What role could Mikel possibly play at Stoke away? There's absolutely NO NEED for him

I agree we could do with another midfield regulator if we are going to play Cesc there (who has been very uninfluential at #10 today despite his goal just now (brilliant first touch!)) - but you shouldn't blame Mikel for that. Mikel is in there for physicality and a presence in midfield which should in turn release Matic to take up the Fabregas role - but obviously it hasn't worked that well today. It's more on Jose than Mikel. We know what Mikel brings us as a player, so let's judge him on that.

The gawd Drogba is here

I'm blaming Mourinho for choosing to play Cesc as #10 with Mikel coming in the team. I'd rather keep Cesc in the pivot. I'm not blaming Mikel. Although I'd be much happier if we offloaded him next season. It's the same with Willian. As long we have them in the squad Mourinho will resort to them instead of going with Schurrle for example. André should have started... if we have Mikel in the pivot there's no way we should play with Wililan (not even Oscar). We just look completely toothless in the final third
