Mou to Conte at the end of the match:
"with the supporters, in my opinion, you do that on 1-0 not when you are winning 4-0... it's an humiliation for us"
This was regarding Conte firing up Chelsea supporters near the end of the match.
 
Imagine a midfield of Romeu, Hojbjerg and Schneiderlin.
I love Morgan but the difference between Morgan/Victor and Oriol/Pierre-Emile is that both of the latter do both of the roles, i.e. they both enforce and they can both set up attacks. I'm not saying Morgan couldn't do both but it would take him a long time to get up to the level we play at nowadays. That's the tragedy of Morgan's move.
 
So, exactly who the hell is actually going to win the title this season?

Arsenal (as I've said deep back in pre-season, before they'd bought anyone - I'm not a revisionist, unlike most professional TV punters, who seems to change their choice as the season progresses and hope no one notices).

I predicted Arsenal too, more out the fact I didn't think anyone else had enough to go that far.

Still think that City is the heavy favourite. As poor of a stretch as they've had, they are first, and they will get their feet back under them.

Without a doubt. And their next four PL games are WBA, Boro, Palace and Burnley. They could run riot.

(Over that same four game period, you also have Arsenal v Spurs, Man Utd v Arsenal, Chelsea v Everton, and Chelsea v Spurs)
 
Love Morgan, but he's gone now. Paid too much, perhaps even too much pride for a return. Hope he finds a new home somewhere, top lad.

I'd have him back in a heartbeat. And I'd play him ahead of Davis and Clasie every day. He's one of my favourite players to ever pull on a shirt. We shouldn't forget that even though he moved on, he was absolutely fantastic for us as we were for him. He was one of the best midfielders in the Premier League. And he could score.
 
Does anyone remember that season that Mourinho managed Chelsea all the way into the relegation positions? :biggrin: If Utd go on a losing streak he could easily lose the dressing room again.

Wish it weren't true, but he is most likely to go to Everton or Spurs if anywhere.
