no he's not. He's being played out of position, it's no surprise he was brilliant in Europe when played at CAM. Moses/Hazard should be on our flanks every game. Oscar and Mata should be rotated for now to give Mata a rest.
very **** performance but ground out the win. back into third place with a game in hand over Spuds, lovely
Job done! That much better goal difference is coming into play! Spuds may lose out to Arsenal because of this!
Or to us. It would be great if Everton could get a draw at the Emirates though. All we need to do is beat Fulham (which we should do) and I think we'll be fine for top 4 as I don't see Spurs beating us or City, so even if we drop points at Anfield and Old Trafford we should be fine. Today was crucial. Spurs dropped points and we didn't, because of our superior goal difference, we are at a definite advantage.
Yes I agree I think we'll finish 3rd and I'm leaning towards Arsenal beating Spurs to fourth. It's really important that the players step up as with the games with got in the amount of time squad rotation is a must.
Agree, we know we can rely on this squad to win the big games (as has been consistently the case with Chelsea so long as I've supported them) but its against the teams were expected to beat that I worry.
Yes Dave. I thought today was decisive and I now believe it's a battle between Chelsea and Arsenal for 3rd. Apart from against you guys, I cannot see Arsenal losing any of their remaining 7 games. They have been excellent this season against sides outside the top 7. The moment Spurs blew that 2-1 lead at Anfield was the turning point, a bit like Arsenal away for them last season. Had Spurs gone on to win that game I have no doubt they'd have gone on to finish at least 4th.
