After watching nearly all of the athletico real game today I came away with two things that are blindingly clear.
1) thibault courtois is a better keeper than petr Cech. Period. After watching him this season the only keepers who match up in my opinion are Buffon and neuer. He's got to be the man next year.
2) Diego costa is a beast but he's also rather selfish. While he bullied pepe and Ramos for the entire match he also was very reluctant to pass. If he had the ball in the box he was going to have a pop. This selfishness can be a good thing but he had a couple opportunities to lay on easy assists for his teammates but didn't. His physical presence alone would add something to our play but he would hinder hazard quite a bit.

I also watched the game and while I will agree he's a beast he's attitude has me a little worried he constantly runs his mouth which isn't always a bad thing but he is a diver honestly he goes over at the slightest gust of wind he won't get away with that in the prem can't deny he has great ability though only other worrying point is he hardly ever plays the lone striker he almost always has a partner and we play with one forward I still think Falcao is the best option he doesn't rely on his place and his finishing is lethal I would still rather costa then Cavani but Falcao should be our number one target him or Ibrahim both would suit our system perfect and both are truly world class just my opinion though.

Watched ATM v RM tonight. Costa has impressive energy and gets in good positions but he is a diver.

A quick question for the Ed's if and when you have time.
With the core English players terry cole and lampard likely to be retiring or moving on within the next couple of years will the club try to retain a core or 4 or 5 English/British players in the squad or is it not something that is seen as being important?
Thanks for your continued efforts.

What is the situation that Lukaku must recover from Ed? Is it a falling out with the club or manager? I've searched and scrolled but I couldn't find a reason. Would love him to stay.

Thank You:)

Willian is class
Schurrle is class
End of.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Schurrle's got a better goal threat and puts players on the back foot whilst still having a great work rate for me therefore he should start instead of Willian

Agree0 Disagree0

No, schurrle has got plenty plenty of potential to be class. Willian is at his best. The difference yesterday was schurrle in for Willian.

Agree0 Disagree0

No Blueboy, Schurrle IS class, we are just spoiled for choice. We as fans need to start appreciating how lucky we are, and stop complaining.
