TBH - Mikel has a better first touch than Rambo. Having seen Rambo for all these years - still he cannot control a simple ball. Without his engine Rambo will be as good as Mikel. Thank **** for that. Willian is getting better and has Jose's confidence, that is showing. Resting Oscar today shows the Faith Jose has on Willian. Infact Willian seems to have better defensive nous than Rambo and have displayed it on several instances. That is really impressive. Jose needs to give Fab free role, and Rambo needs to maintain the defensive shape, especially in the final few minutes. Everton would have easily hurt us, had they tried something on the break. Forget about City's Yaya less record. I cannot imagine about our Matic less record.
Got to laugh at Martinez complaining about players influencing the ref. It's been happening for years and it's entirely the ref's fault if he lets a player influence his decision.
This. Players always try to influence referees, in every game, for every team. Its up to the referee to stand his ground, tell the players to f***k off and make his own decision.
It is a slightly different matter, but perhaps its Oscar who has their starting role under threat from Cuadrado, not Willian...
Perhaps, I suspect he'll rotate the 3 in those 2 positions with Hazard playing most weeks if fit. Oscar has just been nominated for player of the month incidentally.
