Okay well, not really a well-thought out answer. When does the media overrate him -- what do you they say that makes him so overrated? How do fans overrate him? Every sense? That's pure bollocks ain't it. Tbh sounds like you just went through a mental checklist and thought 'Liverpool player', and went to the conclusion that he's overrated.

So overrated by whom? And in what sense?

Credit to City. They seem to take apart buses a lot better than us. Hard work on the flanks from FBs / wingers until they find an opening. Also mention that City are winning with all these injuries too. edit: clear goal disallowed

In contrast to most others in this thread, I think the away kit looks atrocious. Home looks meh. Same with the black although that's probably the best one.

I'm just laughing at the fact that he needs to take an education course.

Agree totally. Sure this has been mentioned before but I'd much rather have Moses as a squad player than Salah -- esp. since Moses will count as homegrown.

Should progress. Worried if sturridge will be back for the first leg though.

Costa; Schurrle, Oscar, Hazard; Fabregas, Matic; Azpi, Terry, Bane, Luis; Courtois

Another great game by Mikel

Absolutely incredible player for his age and will probably progress to be one of the best. Would fit into team in the world tbh Would be delighted to get him.

At the same time, an unstable defence (with lots of injuries) as well as the likes of Di Maria being injured, credit for actually getting the win.

Don't deserve this.

claude seems quite passionate about the club tbf. Plus i think he has quite a sad backstory

Just gotta keep on going. We've got a tougher run than City next few weeks really hope they draw to roma so they get into the europa league

How sh*te. City don't deserve this.

with 2 players on reds :(

3-2...

the arsenal fans probably care more about us losing today then them getting destroyed at Stoke.

I'd have to disagree then, JoeyN. I think it's him who's by far the most important for our attack and without him, our team suffers the most. one thing to add is that Fabregas has really faded for the second part of the season in his last few seasons, so I'm a bit worried that could happen again in the next few months, with a lack of rotation (which is why I also why a backup CM is needed in that regard to be honest -- someone like tiago or even keeping lampard would have helped). He's the second most important guy in this team IMO. Lampard was just an absolute beast throughout though our seasons though; he managed it.

3-0. That's just awful

Okay cool Not necessarily a one man team, I just feel when the going gets tough it seems like we want Hazard to fix it off, and suddenly go into a mode where we look a tad bereft of ideas. An elaboration: It's not just his own fault; Willian e.g. just doesn't have anywhere near the ability to manage to create something like hazard, but as a team in general I feel it's like, if Hazard's not able to do it or he has a real off day or whatever, then the whole team doesn't really function. But that's why I want another winger. Someone who is able to create chances out of little and further provide to the rest of the team with his technical ability, change of pace etc. in the way hazard always does. Even if the stats don't show that he's the highest assister or whatever, I feel it's Hazard's pre-assist, space-making, aka 'general play to goal' that often leads to a lot of our successes. Having luis start on that side with him will certainly help make the play less one-dimensional, so hopefully from this Mourinho will start him more. Added to that, us playing practically the same team every PL game I feel has caused some degree of fatigue to our players which is why I said rotation needs to be implemented more. If we lose Hazard to injury it's what I feel will cause the most disruption to the team, as opposed to Costa getting injured (we have two great backups) or Matic (like everyone said Mikel was very good today and has when he has played this season tbh). An example: cesc plays in a gorgeous pass to get the actual assist yeah, but it's Hazard had a massive impact in creating that goal -- what do the stats have to show for it? A dribble and maybe more than one take on if he's lucky. Afterwards he also makes a good run further dragging a defender out of position. Overall, without him I feel the team breaks down and we have less in our squad who can do the job that he does, and I feel the level of which we expect him to do this is too much. I just did it in response. It's common. But yes childish.

Tottenham wouldn't want to sell to us without massively inflating the price anyways. Wickham looks good. Think it's his last season (for his contract) at sunderland but he hasn't signed a new contract? Might be worth exploring...

Erm, that you actually have something to add? Argue back to what I said, all this finger pointing and criticism of the post itself without anything to back it up ffs :|. It's a pretty terrible attempt at a call out. Until, you're not doing anything to fix this 'complaining and negative dross' you mentioned, and instead add to it.

Awful response haha. You still haven't said anything to prove otherwise lol. Carry on though, I guess. (or just argue back to what I said originally...)
