For me, Hazard!

JOSE'S FINEST HOUR ... nuff said ... Well done the lads ... Awesome!

City's to lose?

Prediction = our purple patch has 'popped' ... following our 0-0 draw, I think this will be a 0-2 loss against the Prem. Champions, to be. I hope I'm wrong but I believe City are in their stride now after a stuttering beginning to the Prem. Season, when we beat them.

Lamps & Cole ... Time has caught up with our legends. Luiz to Barca because he's not Jose's man and FFP is now being taken seriously. Ba to leave and Eto too. Kalas may leave. Hilario finally! Davila, Romeu, Moses, Josh, Marin, Bertrand, Van Annholt, Kakuta are all surplus to requirements now and have no future at this club. I'd like to see as many as poss' moved on due to FFP, if this helps? Personally, I'd love to see Torres & Mikel go, but won't happen ... due to Contracts signed up to ...

I think it's going to be painful, tbh. A possible Man City master-class? It took Jose quite a few games at Real to finally suss Barcelona. Same here? They will bully us. Parking the bus won't work against this lot. 0-3 to City.

Crap result ... Another comfortable clean sheet which is good but lacked penetration up front. I think Frank should have started this one. Shame Torres is injured. I think he would have done well today. Mata could well have made the difference today too :0(

The 2 x sets of fans I hate with a passion are 1) the scouse 2) west ham ... Therefore, every win against 'em is soooOO extra special ... I'd take any kind of win against this lot ... 1-0, 2-1, 3-0 ... don't mind! ... I think our purple patch should continue, fingers crossed.

Matic ... Bossed it ...

Comfortable today ... Good all-round Team performance ... Well done the lads.

Looks really, really good ... !

[quote name="Backbiter" post="763268" timestamp=" The worry is that we'll just blow that money on a couple of inferior players who also fail to integrate themselves into the side (as was the case with Kdb). We know injuries/ loss of form will hit one or all of our current trio, and we'll be left looking stupid. Meanwhile Mata will be a huge hit at Manure and propel them into the CL, and thereby enable them to attract other top players to replace the dross that Moyes has inherited. Good post. And this worries me. Mata should be a sensation at Man. Utd. Allowed to express himself Mata's definitely better than Willian & Oscar.

2-0 a little more optimistic today ... I think the Team will be v. V. Motivated for arguably the toughest tie of the round?

Tragic tbh ... Mata is definitely better than Oscar IMHO ... And William ...

Superb post ... Really, really well presented ... I think we've done good business with the Bison too ...

It's not Mata's fault he's going ... If u are continually not valued / appreciated at work ... there does come a point where u feel victimised ... and if a way out comes along ... u take it ... full stop ...

Weain'tgotknowhistory ... ... getting lots of YouTube hits, obviously from CFC fans ...

Mohamed Salah, Basel possible replacement gathering steam?

Chelsea 2-1 Stoke ... hard fought win against a dogged Team ... Our purple patch continues, hopefully ...

He's good but not as good as Mata in his prime ... think of the run of goals Mata put away for us in the last 2 seasons, often at crucial times. Not convinced Willian will emulate that plus his standing step overs followed by a quick burst of acceleration will soon get sussed by all Prem. defences ... then what?

Jose's a god but this is the one thing he has definitely got wrong IMHO. Given a run in the side Mata would build momentum and would easily surpass Willian & Oscar in overall impact and game contribution IMHO. Tragic if we let him go ...

It woz supposed to be an arty pic but of course has backfired with hindsight. Because with the slave film the current vogue the pic can be interpreted differently. It's insensitive at this time ... I guess ...

I still rate Mata more highly than both William & Oscar ...

Comfortable win in 2nd gear ... I still think that if Mata woz given a run in the side we'd be better still ...

I think we've looked a much better Team without Lamps lately and hope he doesn't walk straight back into the starting line-up today.
