Much better performance today. Think we're slowly but surely coming back. But how bad was Cesc again. I mean I'm not Oscar's biggest fan but I'd prefer him and Loftus-Cheek over Cesc. At least when Oscar's not creating he works tirelessly for the team.
Fabregas is a limited player which I've said before. The only thing he can do is pass. He's slow, doesn't score goals and he can't tackle. Personally it wouldn't bother me if we sold him. It's like playing with ten men when he's not on form and let's be honest he hasn't been on form since last year.

Also a big shout out to pedro, the guy was real. class today. Recently he was gettng a lot of criticism from the fans (in part including me) but today he was really lively. Probably our best player with hazard and matic.

On your point about Oscar Magical I'm not sure why he's never been tried next to Matic on the same role Cesc has. A slightly lesser passer but a much better defender and worker for the team.

A draw would be more than acceptable at this moment because today's game showed how drastically we've improved after playing against a good spurs side.
I was fine with Costa on bench but given the errors by Alderwiereld and little miscommunication between their defenders I wonder if Costa could have capitalised on that. They way he threw his training wear won't go unnoticed from Mourinho. Future looks bleak for him here right now.
Finally, Begovic saved us.

And apparently he refused to warm up with other players before the match -- is this true? If so completely unacceptable.

Think it's unfair to say he refused, several subs didn't come out to warm up before the game and I believe it's fairly common to use warm up areas inside. The media was just trying to make an issue of it. He did have a bit of a sulk when he found out he wasn't being used as a sub though.

Hope Jose feels good about himself after proving his point to Diego. Diego acted like a child in response but there's no reason for this in arguably our biggest game of the year. If he knew he wasn't going to play then Remy should be on the bench period. Absolutely no reason it should be 88 minutes in when we're making our first substitution. We need to purchase a top level striker in January because this issue isn't going away anytime soon.

There cannot be many now who do not think Costa will be on his way at the season end. Our Achilles Heel once more, not putting the ball in the net and not enough shots even on target. Surprised that Remy was not an option up front.

Regardless D. Costa's behaviour lack of goals is not up to striker it is up to midfielders and wingers. We have the same problem we had with Torres and Mourinho has to realise that Drogba was one and only.

He doesn't get it box the balls that got put in there the last couple of games and he's stood at edge of box or no movement shows there's no interest.

Costa, it appears in my opinion is turning into a one season wonder. Teams last year did not know how to play him. This season they do. Trouble is a good pro would change it up try something different etc. not skulk around huffing and puffing and offering nothing. His behaviour is a joke. He was dropped because of form and attitude, nothing he did today will improve his chances. He has to go and striker in window. Maybe Austin at £15 mill.

I heard Remy was not on the bench because his wife was giving birth or at least about to give birth.

Draw fair on day though thought for a second Hazard's volley going in and deserved to be a winner. But what next for Costa after his very unprofessional behaviour?

Not just the passing by the Spurs players are ghosting past him when on the offensive. Loftus-Cheek must be in JM's mind surely. A game we could do will winning, certainly not lose and I think it is there for the taking if we sub sensibly.

A win would be huge boost for rest of season. Costa on bench interesting -- because did not get in to box enough in Norwich game presumably. Pedro in his place up front it seems a gamble. wonder why JM has no faith in Remy.
