Any chance the penalty miss is the last straw that will snap Eden back into some form. It seems like that could have been rock bottom for him, I really hope it gives him the impetus to turn it around.

Curtois injured?

Think Lukaku will score or choke like last time?

the code isn't working for me for some reason?

Would love love love to see this boy get a chance. Even if he starts as 3rd choice I can just imagine him coming on and catching a late goal here and there and eventually earning his shot. It probally won't happen but would really love it and this kid just has that instict to score which can't b taught, please give him a chance Jose whether next season or the season after, let's hope.

Great result! Not so great game but who cares we won at villa park. Do have to say though, it seems Mourinho hasn't learnd from his mistakes earlier in the season when we pre emptively shut up shop and go all out defence which just invites the opposition to continually attack us. We threw the game away at United earlier in the season and nearly did it again today, I was scared sh*tless when Villa just kept attacking and thought a goal was inevitable. Thank god we survived but please Jose stop doing that and learn, sometimes attack is the best form of defence.

Would love to say Kalas after his performance against liverpool last season. Looked like he would becom a star. This season has been horrible for him though and I really hope he can recover and get back on track. RLC also looks awesome and his technique mixd with size should give him a great opportunity.

Dissapointing, he looked like a future superstar in the match against pool last season, really hope he can get back on track.

any update on kalas?

Beautiful.

Remy looks up for it

I have supreme love for the great John obi. There isn't many other players I would feel safer with when needing to hold onto a lead. Mikel will be vital for us if we coome up against someone like Real Madrid in the Champions League. He might not be the prettiest, flashiest, but damn is he effective at what he does, and he does it to perfection. Long live the great John Obi

It's simple really. Schurrle should start against the weaker teams when we are more attack minded. Willian should start when we need to be more defensive minded. Both should battle it out until one clearly outshines the other. I have more love for Schurrle but Willian can be extremely handy in situations when we need to win/keep possession, despite his frustrating efforts in the final third. Schurrle can be awesome or pretty much non existant. I hope he finds his form again soon though because he can be vital for us as he showed in the CL against PSG last season.

Mikel does his job to absolute perfection when ever he is called upon. He is the perfect player to bring on when we need to protect a lead and is completely reliable and always makes the defence feel a hell of a lot safer. His positional awareness is immense. He has been an extremely important player for us for years and still is when he is called upon. If we face someone like Real madrid in the CL I know I would feel safer with Mikel in the pivot than Rami or Fab. Just because he doesn't do anything that looks to spectaculer doesn't mean he isn't doing his job well. The lack of respect for him seems quite ignorant to be honest. Arsenal, Man u, liverpool would all be much better sides with a Mikel to help their leaky defences.

I like this. He is great defensively and at counter attacking from deep with the ball. The area he really lacks in is his delivery in the final third. Put him in midfield and he can become an upgraded ramires.
