Very decent. Pleased for the lad. Hope he gets some more chances now. I guess he is seen as Matic's understudy?
Very good, be nice to see him play on Sat although I don't see Mourinho chucking him in at the deep end just yet.
Me either, but starting and playing well is great for him, and the others in his position. Trust in the kids, use them wisely and more often, and seasons end, we are a stronger and more experienced squad, with ready and able replacements. Nice work Jose, keep it going. Hazard should be benched for a game after Arsenal, will freshen him up physically and mentally. We have overused him.
I don't think we have the players available to bench Hazard, plus the media would have a field day; which may harm his confidence further. I agree he needs a rest now and then though.
I'd give Haza a rest, but could be tricky with Willlian and Pedro out. We could try Kenedy or Traore against Walsall maybe
Totally agree on both parts BUT who replaces Hazard? IMO we should have kept Moses who offers something different and more direct if we need to be.
Moses is better finisher than Willian. Has both feets. Has defensive discipline. Smarter than Rambo + Mikel. Moses is better than many we had - Schurrle, Marin, Square, Salah!! It is beyond me why he never gets a look in.
Not sure who Square is but he definitely wasn't better than Schurrle! Getting rid of Schurrle for Cuadrado was criminal looking back.
He means Cuadrado. Stan has nicknames for our players that baffle the rest of us!! Moses better than Schurrle?! I agree with you Drogs.....
https://translate.google.com/#es/en/cuadrado Cuadrado = Square is Universal or semi universal. No nickname. For the contribution within limited appearance, I see Moses equal if not better compared with Schurrle.
Well as none of us are Spanish, seems an odd nickname. I presumed it was some kind of reference to square into a round hole or something....
I did an intro thread when Juan Cuadrado joined and mentioned "John Square". Can't agree more about square peg in a round hole.
Depends on the opposition, but Remy can play wide front or even Costa who hangs around the left a bit too much for mine seeing hes a central lone striker. Anyway, when willian and Pedro are back Hazard needs the occasional seat on the bench
