cech - 7, not involve too much iva - 6.5, doing ok, few times outrun by kasami. cahill - 8, usual cahill, last ditch tackle. silence dempsey terry - 7, same old terry. azpi - 6.5, doing ok, few times past by dejagah rami - 7, good in defense, try too hard to dribble matic - 7.5, usual matic, no nonsense approach. love his long leg. oscar - 6.5, meh. another sub par performance from him schurrle - 9, hattrick hero, excellent in finding space. hazard - 8.5, 2 assist, dribble like a boss in second half. game changer performance. again. torres - 7, should have score on few ocassions, 1 assist. fail to mark heitinga for the goal.
mikel - 5.5, can't brain his performance, not really contribute anyyhing in both offense and defense, ba - 6.5, 10 minutes of mix performance, should have score late in the game. luiz - n/a - play few mins, can't really comment
Oscar do look badly off pace, need some of Hazard's nivea deodorant to give him some confident.
Ba and Schurrle showed real hunger. Schurrle i would say have fought for his place in place of Oscar. Ba showed real spirit when subbed in, his post up play is good. Pity him as a 3rd choice.
Nice win yesterday games. bad first half but awesomes second half. oscar really need to get some rest. should have been clean sheet. Oh well three point. --------------- Share some nice clips.

oscar already get his rest. he need to find his early season form. vs soton was the last time he play well.
btw, when Ba was subbed in. He did several post up very well, receiving high balls and chesting them down. This is something that Torres and Eto lacks. But then Ba is not as mobile as Torres and Eto. Kinda sums up why Ba is third choice, lack of mobility and fluidity.
Would like to see Lukaku try that role, he can definitely post up well, quick movement too. Definitely ticks all the box for the striker that we're looking for.
How do guys fancy your chances against spurs? They are in form at the moment especially adebayor.
I think we will be okay..because its a home game..and we are in a good mood..no crisis or external factors..everything is on Mourinho..he will take the heat..he will take the blame..he will never ever let the press go to his players..
and yes..Adebayor is a treat.
If we can keep discipline at the back 4..and use Luiz as CM to neutralize him ..I believe that we can keep him silent.
and as for Tots Manager..Sherwoord is a good coach..a good motivator..no indication yet that he can pull different type of tactics..so maybe Mourinho has upper hand on this..
I'm still okay if we trailing in the first half, because usually we can bounce back in the second half.
so..i fancy a home win with both side scoring.

Liverpool in 2nd place now, same point with Arsenal. They will be the most dangerous during the home stretch of the season as they have only one competition to play in. MC 6 points away with 2 games in hand, pressure on them as well, and they looking in good position for 2 cups.
i kinda hoped that City will not face barca in the champions league yet...so that they can progress to at least quarter finals and need to play more matches. now that they already do, they will (most probably) be eliminated next match and they will finish their Capital one cup adventure tonight. then they will just have EPL and FA cup to focus on now, we just can hope they drop points in one of these 2 games they have in hand
