Hazard probably the best player in the league on that side of the field. Keep things in perspective and not go overboard. Players need to experience these sorts of games in order to improve. We now play teams who are not in the top 7 so we'll see how he goes against them and gain even more experience and tactical awareness.
I don't think he was that bad. His yellow card against Spurs was a joke. I commented on the card thing earlier if they were dangerous tackles I would be worried but he is just picking up niggly cards, with experience that will stop. I'm impressed with his performances so far, been asked to come in at a young age with hardly any protection in the pressures of playing for Arsenal where every little thing is microscoped is hard. He should be left alone, coached in the background and allowed to play his football.

Pls it's Monday morning all I wanna do is sleep I had a coffee like an hour ago and my body is telling me to have another one or crawl under my desk and curl up.
Yeah I think Carrick is going to be a big help when he's back, assuming he is the good Carrick - which is a bit of an assumption tbf. But he's spent the most part of the past 5 years playing more or less on his lonesome so I hope the new players reawaken him.
Watching yesterday's game back I think Van Gaal made a mistake with his subs and I think it's one he's been making more or less every game. He took Valencia off for Fellaini. This only made matters worse, Valencia for all his faults is an outlet. Sure he ends up going nowhere but he freaking goes. Fellaini just...he's a sponge, without any soaking effect. I dunno what you call that. A dirty old rag.
We've been taking Di Maria off too and same thing has been happening. I think we need to be better further up the field late on in games - but for sure part of that is pushing up and showing some composure instead of just hoofing it up there.
Mary pls.
I'll never get why Silva is rated so highly..
because of his first 6 months? Because he was one of City's first 'big' signings? His rat face? He's a Spanish midfielder?

Chambers is suspended for the Hull game?
So if Bosscielny or Mertesacker get injured on international duty...who do Arsenal have to play CB?
Sometimes I think that but then I see him play and he's just wonderful. He floats. It's just a shame his shooting is so utterly pathetic or he'd be incredible.

Mertesacker don't play international football anymore and hopefully Koscielny is on the bench for France. Otherwise it's either Hayden or Monreal at cb for the Hull game.
Good news that Wenger won't be getting a touchline ban from the FA for pushing Mourinho.

I was going to reply to your Chambers comments, but I know we will just be going back and forth. I hope he does turn into a world class player, whatever his future main position is.
Also how is that good news? it is not like Wenger does anything on the touchline except argue with other managers.
Lightnining is right to an extent. Chambers is a good young defender. Should arsenal have a more experienced player at right back? Yeah, they do but sadly he's injured. Probably should have a back up centre back but meh
But the more important point, one which I can only put down to Arsene's faith for poor old Abou Diaby is the lack of a replacement for Silva. Was meant to be Song but he had the positional sense of a bed ridden sloth.
You cannot go into playing a team like Chelsea, a fantastically organised team with big lads in there without a holder. You can have every tricky ball player under the sun but you need a big fucker to sit in front of the back four and hoover up.
We all know from playing the game how useful it is to have a lump just sit there and tidy up for your team.
And as for folk who slag off Schurlle and Oscar, both their performances yesterday for outstanding. The work effort they put in is incredible. You have got to give it to Mourinho. It's fucking tedious football but good lord it is impossible to play against. Add in that sprinkling of quality in the final third with Cesc and Costa and wowza. That's a football team

YES YES YES
Wenger's treatment of him was terrible. Made his little French mate Gallas captain and then got rid of him. Gilberto should have been there to offer the experience to the younger players and to still be useful in our bigger games. Getting rid of him was the reall turning point in our affairs

Driveclub clubs are limited to 6 players. Serie A teams have more players on the bench. Pls

6 players? lol what
Silva, for me, is the best No10 in the league. He is just delightful to watch when he is on song. What he doesn't have in pace he make up for with the ability to dribble. He is slight but you can't easily dispossess him, he drives with the ball into the box thereby creating space for others. His only criticism is that he doesn't finish well. In terms of assist since he came to the league, he is either first or second.
Txiki and Soriano will try their hardest to get him at City that's for sure. Back to Barca is a possibility no?
Who are we kidding he's loving it in the Bundeslolga it's so easy for him.
Cause he's the best #10 in the league by a fucking mile.

Yup. Oscar has gotten back to near his best after having a disappointing few months (although I put that down to the huge number of games he's played over the last few years.) Schurrle put in a much better defensive performance too. Only disappointing thing with him was a few misplaced passes.

Fucking ditto. Sat at work in my coat and gloves setting fire to case files to try and escape frostbite/hypothermia.
You're going to fucking love it.
I'm totally down with this. The methodology for many games is to get people in as large of social circles as possible, but with the way people are commonly involved with those they've never actually met, it's like you're in big globs of random faces.
It's something I like about Destiny with the 3-man squad limit. Being in a tight knit group with people I actually know is so much better than feeling the need to fill up slots with people I don't really want around.
I know its the ultimate hipster league but I've been enjoying the fuck out of the Eredivise since its been on sky.
Not watched as much as Id like but every game has been full of exciting attacking football. Refs seem pretty good for the most part too.
Count me in as a Feyernoord bro.

I dont know why Mata gets the hate. He has been brilliant whenever he has played as a no.10 for us. Especially this year. He has constantly been providing assists or scoring goals.
It's really sad to see how Juventus has been absolutely gutted as a club, from the inside out. Everyone's worst fears confirmed as Allegri has led them to only 18 points from their opening 6 fixtures. One simply must wonder how many points they'd have at this stage if they had kept Conte. 19? 20?
0 points in Europe.
we keep losing more and more players after each training session ffs
How many last year at this stage? 2?

Allegri is a quality manager. I had said before the Wenger resigned that I would gladly have Allegri as Arsenal manager. The guy has shown that when he he is treated with respect by a club he is a top manager.
this is how you respond to provocations, the Poulsen way.
Yeah ;_;
Oh you don't have to tell me, I don't even like it.

I don't think he was all that great yesterday.
But anyway - this is one of those things where the outcome is settled. Mata will not be a first choice player, Rooney is going to play ahead of him. He'll be sold if we get a sizeable bid for him. I can see Valencia paying £30m for him in the summer with their newfound money.

Really glad that he wants to stay, there's been time that our transfer attempts have made it seem like no one wants to come play for us, but when genuine WC player like him publicly professes his desire to to come and stay at United, it feels bueno
Hopefully he's used to replace RVP not just supplement him (teachers pet)

You could, but only because the ref didn't give us the penalty and didn't send off Bertrand for planting his studs on Naughton's shin.

Don't see the hate for Mata, he was fine yesterday.
What worries me is our strikers. Rooney is a fat cunt who scores, but plays like shit most of the match, RVP was godlike with his first touch and now can't even run worth a shit.
And Falcao...
Notice how he hid the ice pack pressed on his left knee. He's not yet that fit

Same criticism was made of Hernandez two years back. All he does is score, as if that's a real problem. And, anyway, I doubt that's true that he doesn't wokr hard. In the Leicester match, he was often the only player offensive player who was tracking back.
Anyway, United's team sheet looks like a fantasy team of forwards. If Rooney is lagging behind, I think you can cut him some slack.

He does track back, which is great. Problem is his dismal short passes, and dribbling.
