His absents tonight from the 18 baffled me.

Much better tonight, give him more service and he will score and create chances.

Same as it was a straight forward task for Barcelona there last season aye.......

Begovic Baba Jt Cahill Dave Matic Mikel Hazard Oscar Willian Falcao

Not in champions league games no

Not to bad tonight, at least we created some chances. Beaten by the better side yes but I think they are a decent side and apart from a few individual under par performances i think there are some pluses to take from the game.

Costa for me, never stopped trying and making runs, his hold up play was good and kept his temper in check. Unlucky not to get a goal as well. He's looking sharp again and after missy another game Saturday should be raring to go in the league. H.M to Willian and Begovic

Shocking tonight, gets roasted every single time against a pacey winger and his attacking contribution is poor with woeful crosses. Love Ivan to bits but it's time Jose gave him a break and gave us more balance with Dave and Baba

Why zouma? Why Oscar? Agree Matic,Fabregas, Ivanovic and hazard though. I'm not sure he meant six but if he did I'd say Remy and Pedro more than the other two named. Only Dave,Begovic and Cahill could be completely excused I guess

Why do we have to be losing before we show any fight and passion? Hazards best minutes this season have when we've been behind he's virtually non existent up until that point. Matic and Fabregas doesn't work away from home. Ivanovic is gone, the sooner Jose finally acknowledges this the better. We are paying the price for not buying another striker, Remy was poor today. Felt sorry for Zouma, one mistake a misjudgement of the flight of the ball and he gets punished.other than that I thought he done very well against a very physical opponent in mitrovic.

Thank god for our Brazilian contingent !

What a c**t the op is, delete thread please

Ignore me lol looking at wrong line uo

Looks more like a number 8 role to me

Oscar obviously

Completely disagree, oscars game is all about pressing from the number 10 position he isn't a number 8 IMO Fabregas is a much better passer from the deeper position it's just he's currently out of form and against better opposition needs more help by playing a 4-3-3

Wise di matteo and Newton in the middle ? Super dan far side maybe?

Erland and Clarke either sudden of le Beouf ?

What was lucky about it?

Coped well after the early booking. Carried the ball well, read the game well and his weight of pass at times is sublime. Love to see how he copes against better opposition but we might have just saved ourselves £60million!

Oscar must start, Matic comes back in. Would love to see the full backs left as they are but pretty certain Jose will bring Ivan back in.

Nice to see Arse defeated tonight and have a rough game, hopefully a rough journey home and an early ko Saturday should tip this one our way and get the season back on track!

Gazza done extremely well tonight all be it against poor opposition, really has given Jose a headache for Saturday

How much quicker and more positive do we look with Oscar in the side. His desire is infectious!
