Mourinho:
"I normally don't praise players individually - and probably this week people are thinking about Samuel and Fernando - but I am not. I think they are good players and good professionals, so sooner or later performances and goals come for them. I felt it was very normal to see them score their goals and to see the way they performed for us last week.
Instead, I go out of my line to praise Cesar. I love these players who play where the team need them, when the coach wants, whether it is for 90 minutes or coming from the bench for one minute. For them it is the team first, the team second, and the team third - and finally they think about themselves. They train hard every day, they are self-motivated, but they are also pushing others in the same direction.
So please, supporters, I hope you like him and respect him as much as I do. Players win matches, squads win titles - I am a lucky manager to have Cesar."
Same thing but maybe Izzy brown in place of Kiwomya or Ba.
Yeah, Terry's passing is quite underrated IMO. He's really good at it. In general even at 32 he's still showing his class. Wonder how we're going to replace him.
David Luiz is funny man. Think he could seriously become a great player but he's just a goofball. He's more talented than Cahill in that sense and has better attributes (e.g yesterday Luiz would have the pace to potentially hinder or stop Aguero from shooting unlike Cahill) but far less reliable).
So Schurrle would be good for teams who like to play more defensively then... makes sense.

I think Willian will start alongside KDB and Mata. Perhaps Terry too to solidify an otherwise vulnerable backline.

Nice to hear. I guess he sees a bit of Paulo Ferreira in Azpi.

Better hope Chalobah does it, terry did play in CM when he was younger(explains his ball playing skills) David luiz may finally step up and be like dante last season under heynckes. There will be a player available, but I don't envisage the pairing being luiz and cahill(neither do I want it to be)
Agree on luiz, too inconsistent, could be our best CB if he performed like he did in the final of confeds cup each match.
Not just against more defensive teams, against teams who press high up too due to his pace plus he helps out defensively. It's why I think arsenal should have gone for di maria instead of ozil and still retain this point, ozil'll flat track bully 80% of opposition tbf so you can't complain too much but they need wingbacks who are able to provide width in the 3AM system(gibbs yes sagna no) and also be able to get back. You need a guy like schurrle/walnut/pedrito in the side despite how frustrating they can be.

Luiz cahill will be fine for arsenal U21's tbh. Bertrand and azpi should play, although I wouldn't mind ivan being there to solidify the backline but he's gonna be tired from all the running and defending he did.
Hazard short listed for FIFA Ballon d'Or award.

You need flat track bullies to win the league (12 of the 19 teams in the league are poor to average). Man Utd have shown that and it shows why league winners don't always win the champions league.

That's what United had with Ronaldo who would often be the distance between 1 and 3 points for them, especially in 2006-07. He got better the next 2 seasons but he was still a flat-track bully. Rooney to some extent had that kinda steamrolling attitude.
When we won the league, one of ours was Robben who would often come up with goods with his pace, crossing and clinical finishing. I always thought that the reason why we lost the league to United from 2007-09 was because we didn't quite have that kind of player. on our day, there wasn't much between us and United but when we needed someone to pull us out of a 0-0/1-1 we didn't have that kind of player while United did in Ronaldo.
I think Hazard could be our difference maker in that aspect. He had a long season last year- playing over 60 games and it's not easy to keep the intensity up so I reckon he needs a rest
