Hate it when managers have favorites. Same with Eto as well, clearly going to be #1 when atm he has proved nothing and Torres has done better from sub appearances than eto has done in matches, albeit Eto hasn't been that bad but he just offers nothing more than Torres and is slower, so atm Torres should still be #1

Oscar I take it you didn't watch the Basel game where Willian was head and shoulders our best player? and mata has been given one game lol.

And what are you on about with eto'o, eto is quick, that burst to get onto the end of ivanovic' cross was quick as hell, your judging him again on 2 league games lol crazy man

How was Willian head and shoulders our best player? I said he was good but nothing special, he had a good debut but he didn't exactly do anything, he was average along with most of our other players that night. Done nothing more and nothing less than anyone else would of done.

And i'm not judging anyone, i said i rate Eto and he's done well but at this moment in time he still offers nothing that Torres doesn't and Torres is faster and the team seem to play better

because he done more than all our other players thats how. and he looked pretty special to me and because it was a debut then your point doesnt mean anything at all.

I was more than happy with Willian's debut Wednesday. He looked one of the better players on show while he was on.

I was a bit sceptical about his signing but after seeing him live, I think he's going to be an excellent addition to the squad!

Oscar you have lost it

Eto'o has done most things right apart from the finish . Yesterday again he showed some fantastic movements and touches, he just needs that goal. It's obvious that he is head and shoulders above the two other strikers at this club. Torres didn't look anything special apart from that header, and his role last week when coming on against Everton was pathetic. Only time he has looked good this season was against Bayern. Eto'o deserves a few more games to get up to speed with high level football. I'm sure he will, he is too good of a football player to not do, unlike Torres.

Hazard has been fine for us, I'm impressed with his development as a team player. The way he played for us last season in full flow attacking mode is finished, well until he fully becomes accustomed to how we are trying to play now. I can see we are trying to turn him into a player like Ribery. It will take some time but he will adapt, and anyway he has been involved in nearly all of our goals this season.

Willian also looked very good against Basel. We lost that work rate and pacy attacking threat when he got replaced by Mata, which imo lead us to lose Control in our first line of defence(striker/AM) , which helped them to become more successful in picking out their dangerous players for the counter. Mourinho made a mistake that day with that sub.

Also I do not understand the hate for Schrulle??

Hazard was fine defensively under Benitez so you really can't use the lame excuse that he's been bad 90% of the time because he's learning to defend

And you've obviously not read what i've said with regards to Eto and Willian. I said Eto's been good and has done well, i just said atm he has offered nothing Torres doesn't in terms of all round play and i said Willian was good, just wasn't anything special which is to be expected as it was his debut

He wasn't really though. Probably one or two instances in a match he would run back and help Cole out, and the commentators would pick up on it like it was some kind of big achievement for him.

This season he is constantly doing it, and has improved there definitely. I think Cole's game has gone down a bit compared to last season. Don't know if that has been a factor.

Hazard has and is one of your best players, doing really well and working hard for you, up and down the pitch, you can't say that much about a Winger.

LRF no hes not, he plays in cameos and his tackling is just as poor as mata's. If he is to live up to his billing as a supposed next world star he needs to start control games.. like mata did.

I think Hazard's game would decrease slowly if he looked to dictate games from a wide position, if he was an AM, then fair enough and if he could play their then fair enough but he couldn't dictate the game from a wide position as well as him being able to drive at players and either cut inside or drive down the wing and put a quality ball in the box, tied into all this he still gets his pick of the goals. I don't think he's a player to dictate games really.

LRF ribery and robben do that for munich, the best team in the world currently. bale done it for tottenham, ronaldo done it at utd.
