He should have started tonight over Lampard. Lampard for me has been our worst player this season, and has barely offered anything. Mata in my opinion hasn't played great either, and despite peoples objections, I don't think he warrants to start week in week out in his form right now. The only regulars in that front three I would be happy with would be Hazard and Oscar.
Ivanovic is a clumsy RB. I don't actually rate his defensive ability much in that position particularly, and Christ watching him going forward is embarrassing. He reminds me of a pub team player in attacking positions.
Surprisingly though, the only players I have been happy with this season have been: Mikel, Terry, Cahil, Oscar and Hazard. The others have been shlt to be honest. Mata has had a couple of good games, but I think whether you like Jose's style or not, he doesn't fit there! Willian and Schurrle have been poor signings SO FAR. Especially Schurle, who I don't think offers anything going forward
Mata, Lampard and Ivanovic

Seeing a lot of improvement, Basle are a good team, and we went in resting one of our key players in Hazard. Was surprised we didn't play a 4231 counter game, but I think we are building some consistency up with this 433 now, and we could afford to do that at the moment.
Qualified, 4 points from the top (with some tough fixtures out the way), QF of CL and we still haven't really settled as a team (And won't until we got a new CM imo) is pretty solid.
Whatever Jose is doing, seems to be working, even though we are short in a position or two. Just keeps this going till Jan, and I can see us building real momentum in the new year.

Delusional?
What have you guys been watching us play the last couple of years??
Please look at the bigger picture instead of focusing on the small details because your boyfriend doesn't get picked

The same stuff we've been playing for the last 4 years is the same stuff we're playing now. What's changed apart from us sitting deeper and keeping compact. We had no shots today I think. 0 shots.

But difference is we look like we can improve as we go on in the season, and have a world class manager in charge.

Same points as this time last year (only 2 more than the season before that). Same stage in the C1C. Only slightly better off in the CL in what is our easier group for a while.
And we are not exactly more solid at back and are not better going forward.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But now with a world class manager in charge and a better squad, which should, and I am confident will, make a big difference at the end of the season.

Agree with OP about Willian/Schurrle. Strange we paid £50m for the pair of them. Willian seems to hold back while Schurrle really flatters to decieve.
