I will be honest and admit that I was over the moon when Jose was appointed, I was surprised and disappointed that he would not play mata and was of the belief that he had got it wrong. I also started to doubt that he was still the special one and felt that he had been found out. The last few games he proved me wrong and I am sure most people on here at some point were thinking that the saying never go back was indeed going to be proved correct, I was blown away last night at the performance and can honestly say I feel we are in for a very good few seasons if not longer.

Does anyone else feel that last nights team with Oscar instead of Ramires would be our best 11? Maybe nando for eto'o too

Yes and no I think it all depends on the opposition against the better teams the 4-3-3 makes sense against the teams with lesser fire power switching out luiz for oscar and playing 4-2-3-1 is a dead cert the kids classy could end up being one of the greats of his generation but rami should be starting every game 100% the guys an absolute engine.

Lampsy_8. I make you right on most of your post, the difference being that Rami's final touch/decision is know where near the same as Oscar, but his energy is 2nd to none. Isn't it great that we have some of the best midfielders in the world, with different styles, to suit different opposition.

When u have players like Oscar Willian matic hazard shurrle salah ramires luiz lamps and mikel, what a brilliant dilemma that gives you so many brilliant versatile players, Newcastle next and I'm looking forward to a salah cameo

Please, just don't include mikel :/

What's the plan for Zouma, is he going to be in contention for first team or will he be out on loan next season?

{Ed002's Note - The club will look at him in pre-season and decide.}

What a super performance it was.
A perfect tactical masterclass from mourinho.
What was more exciting to see that we had more clear-cut chances than city including those 3 which hit the post.

Matic, Luiz, Hazard & Cahill were CLASS.
