Some new and interesting extracts from Didier's new autobiography.

Oh, Mata, you'll always bleed blue. I'll never forget that corner kick he took to set up our equaliser.
 
Loved what Didier, Frank and Luiz did by the way. It might seem insignificant at first, but it somehow contributed to our victory.
 
The belief and passion shown by our players that night were amazing, these attributes are almost non-existent in some of our players right now.
 
 
 
Just for laughs.

A composed and mature performance by Zouma last night.
 
He should play as a CB from now on.
 
What a tackle by the way.
 

Willian is one of our most underrated players. Obviously, he has his flaws but he's one of the few guys whose form is consistent nearly every week.
 
One thing that separates him from the likes of Hazard is his heart. Even when things aren't looking good, he'd still try his best to contribute to our team play. 
 
The effort he put in every week is what impressed me the most about him and I'm delighted that he's being rewarded with goals and assists this season for that.
 
At this rate, he's a shoe-in for our POTY. Here's hoping there's more to come from him.
 
Thank you for paying for his flight, Spurs.
 

Have to disagree on that. Every player'll have a dip in form somewhere in his career and Costa isn't an exception.
 
I still expect him to come good by mid-season or so, but that's also dependent on how much the team has improved by then.
 
The players behind him aren't helping with him enough, the service given to him have been pretty atrocious at times. Of course, we can't entirely fault them, Costa also has a big part in this barren spell.
 
Perhaps a goal tomorrow can boost his confidence. One can only hope.

Absolutely gutted if it's true.
 
He's too big for a big club like them.

Witcher 3 is awesome! But if you wanna get the maximal fun out of the Witcher series then I suggest you try out Witcher 1 and 2.
Play only Witcher 2 if you don't have time for the first!

Epic presser by JT.
 
My optimism level just went sky-high.

Harsh truths.
 

Well, it's a bit of an overreaction from Matic. Can't blame him entirely though.
 
It's funny how he swung his elbow and completely missed Andre Andre, yet that guy went down like he got shot in the head.
 
 

I felt that the sub at halftime was necessary. Villa were a goal down and were bound to play with more pace and aggression in the second half. 
 
Playing RLC in the second half may invite some unwanted pressure at some dangerous areas as he isn't as adept as Matic to shield the back four. Without Matic, Cesc may not have made that pass to Diego for the second goal and Ramires may get booked or even sent off as both of them would have more defensive responsibilities.
 
Having said that, I have to applaud RLC for his first half display. He was one of the better performing players then and I'm particularly impressed with the maturity that he had shown.
 
Hopefully we'll continue to witness the rise of RLC here!

I think it's more of a matter of bad form rather than the pressure of tracking back. As others have pointed out, he was the POTY last season and has shown that he has no problem excelling upfront while going back to help his teammates.
 
Well, hopefully he can find his form and re-establish his place in the first eleven soon.

I hope he comes back as a youth coach.
 
I'm sure he'll be a great influence on the young lads.

Maybe he will call Adam Johnson the "English Maradona".

No player is bigger than the team. It's played with eleven men for a reason. 
 
I'm fine with Jose doing this, this'll more likely motivate him to improve his performance right now.

IMO, Willian is one of the most underrated players in our current squad. He has his flaws but his form has been very consistent over the last few years.

Great goal, the keeper had no chance. And that's his ninth in nine games.
I'm delighted to see him succeed there.

No more talks of "Character" and "As I said..."?
 
Sad day for English football. 

Nah, they are not getting Klopp.
 
It's too obvious, everyone.
 
The next manager of Liverpool is the one and only Dick Advocaat.

That's so true. The self-entitlement that all English sides (generally) have is an insult to their European counterparts.
 
Keep having that same sense of entitlement and we will lose that 4th CL spot soon.

Brendy doing what he does best again.
 
Today's topic is how Sturridge's injury cost them a CL spot and a trophy last season.
 
Never knew this team of "characters" was a one-man team all along.

Love the man. Wish we could score more freekick goals like the first.
