God Forbid to this plan...

Well, I take Zouma for the bench sha.

I'd rather raid Stoke for Butland and Shaqiri.
Test RLC . Try for Doucoure from Watford. Even Arnautovic from Westham is an option for me.

Shaqiri/Mahrez, RLC and Van Ginkel stay.
Drinkwater goes. So too does Pedro.

If you replace Matic with Bakayoko in 2015 and 2017, we lose. Argue with your phone.

Matic was there in 2016 and we lost to the point where 2 managers chased him out of the team.

He was there in FA Cup final last year when Sanchez ran away from him to score a tapin.

He's at Manyoo now and they haven't won a spoon and we're in the same FA Cup final together.

Our problem this season has been lack of goals mostly due to a misfiring sunken Spaniard, and to an extent Hazard too.

As soon as Giroud became established in the team, we've won 4 straight matches.

Abeg don't try and sneak Matic into it - Bag of beans is s nonentity.

I keep him for another season

There's going to be a crowd. Bakayoko showed signs of life. Kante definitely stays. Ruben and Marco will make that 5 for 2 positions and that's not counting Fabregas.

popizaino:
some still prefer c.ronaldo to messi even though the later has been compared to the greatest in the game so it's normal if we still prefer our hazard.



Hazard over anybody.
Deal with it

Messi and C Ronaldo are close in performance. Salah isnt close to Hazard anywhere this season even madpeople will not argue that

Leave Costa, Replace Hazard with Mahrez or Zaha or Asensio and Chelsea still wins

hensben:
Sentiment aside, I will take Hazard hands down.

Chelsea need a right winger like Bale that can score load of goals, sell Pedro and use Willian as rotation. Hazard is just like Iniesta they are the creator or rather, architect of the team. They are too essential.

Hazard>>>>Salah any time any day.

Iniesta is a midfielder, Hazard is an attacker, A useless attacker for that matter since we never see goals nor assist just activity forming

raumdeuter:

I doubt this.

Mahrez is a bastard o. When he loses form e dey bloody

At least hazard still dey try

Matic record in 2nd half of 2014, 2015, 2017 and now 2018 at Man Utd is unblemished but you will keep bleating on about 2016 when every player was unfit and off-form and want to focus on Matic only.

No time for long story you wrote up there that left out Bakayokos name. Are you ashamed?

Once again:

Replace Matic with Bakayoko in 2015 and 2017 and we lose those titles. .

Answer yes or no, and quit long story

is bayern not a big team again cos last time hazard played against them he useless your entire team.

Garba Lawal can also score against Spain na. When will Hazard do anything meaningful in CL knockouts

The answer is a big fat no.

Matic has never been integral to anyrhing.

Zouma played in midfield in 2015 and was relegated this weekend gone so that means nothing.

Costa was the main man in 2015 and 2017. Matic was a nobody.

That's why only last week DDG was voted their POTY yet again. Matic is so useless defensively and his goalkeeper has been exposed to the point where he has to be jumping around like Spiderman making wonder saves.

Let me remind you that Manyoo lost to all 3 promoted clubs this season, as well as the Westbroms of this world.

If not for DDG Manyoo would be 6th. Facts.

Offensively, Bakayoko still has more goals and assists than the bag of beans...and he's been injured for half the season.

Abeg don't try and sneak your groceries into a discussion about footballers.

No I disagree. 2015 Yes, 2017 NO

Both No.

Someone who cannot trap ball can never anchor the 2 man midfield of 2017.

Mikel is the one who could have anchored 2017 title win but not 2015.

2015 Bakayoko cannot play as the lone DM and I agree Chelsea cannot win

Last year replace Matic with Bakayoko Chelsea will win. Kante is the main guy in midfield and Put Costa in front Chelsea wins all day

Hazard and Matic are the most dispensable players in the team

In which team? Man Utd or Chelsea?

In which position? DM or the AM they give Bakayoko few minutes in cos he utterly failed as a DM.

Bakayoko should try getting in the team first before talking about Matic.

To paraphrase you, your stubborness will not let you keep the L in your coffin. You keep throwing it out.

2017 was built on 2 midfielders only both having to be comfortable on the ball with both having to go to the ball. Matic was the one who went to the ball in tight areas with players around him while Ngolo played more of the runner role. Hence I said Mikel could have won that.

Probably any 6/10 midfielder would still win that title but on the proviso that they can trap a ball in a tight midfield. Amateur footballer could have never played in that system and would not even enter the pitch. The positions Matic shows for the ball and receives it, amateur footballer will lose it 5 times out of 10.

Where else have you heard of a Goalkeeper being player of the year?

Not Goalkeeper of the year o...but player of the Year

It tells you all there is to be said about Matic's importance to a team with title winning ambitions...

You can't tell me a 40m DM is integral to a title chances when his Goalie is the best player in the team.

Matic still hasn't won a spoon and he is in the same FA Cup final as Bakayoko.

Meanwhile Conte has now made 2 consecutive FA Cup finals - Whether Matic dey or e no dey, we still dey move.

When they asked Conte why we were struggling to retain the title, he gave the reporter Morata's address in the sunken place immediately

We are not clinical. In the last period we can kill the game, but the game was still in the balance,’ said Conte.

‘If your best scorer has only 12 goals, it is difficult to fight for something important

I don't like sharing Ls on Monday bro.

Go and sin no more.

2017 was built on Kante alone. The defensive work was 85% Kante, 15% Matic, That 15% could have been done by anyone including Mikel Drinkwater or Bakayoko

Last seasons league win Matic will be one of the least important to the win. Kante, Costa Azpilicueta Alonso Moses Cahill Pedro Luiz Hazard Matic Willian Fabregas in the order of their importance to the team
