Give him one more full season before you completely write him off. No reason he and Benteke can't flourish together.
Okay, maybe a few.

He's boss
Has been since his first game for us as well, and his scoring record was even better without Suarez in the team than it was otherwise
Genuinely makes it so much easier for the players behind him with his constant movement, position switching and ability to find space in the box even against teams who defend deep
I and most other Liverpool fans probably overrate him a bit as you do when an important player has been by and large out of the team for ages, but his record speaks for itself

West Brom chip for me
Didn't even realise the keeper had left his line til it went in
It's a long season, lets hope he at least manages to play 25 games this year.
also I remember about 1 year ago, asking in this thread if Jonas was good because he was free and we desperatly needed a striker at the time, and there was rumblings we were signing him after the market had already closed (he was free and missed CL because of it), most people said he was good and would be a good signing. Welp, 1 year later, he now has overall 40 games, 36 goals, 6 assists. Already 5 goals this year in 4 games. Dat Gaf knowledge

chelsea to smash everton and me to continue to be the best cb in fifa every year. 900 clean sheets out of 1330 games dont lie..
shame for Götze, as he was having a great run.
But yes, I am also ready to see Coman. Did not like his press conference at all, though.

If we are going to start another CM with Matic/Cesc, it should be RLC

Ivanovic still playing?
Would you risk him after a poor start to the season? I'm not sure
We've started pretty well though - popping the ball around nicely
Yep - with Azpi are LB despite having a 20 million pound lad sat in the stands somewhere.

Is this real life?
Cahill has been shocking but has been the only one to pay the price.
Matic and Fabregas, in particular, have been poor. Yet they still get picked. Why not Willian in behind Costa? More energy, more pace and more pressing.
Fuck sake
No pressure AGAIN

Why the fuck isn't Rahman on the bench?
Get Ivanvovic off for Cahill and stick Zouma at right back

Of course Mariner can send off Mitrovic no problems, but can't bring himself to even book Diego Costa.
I just don't understand Mourinho's mentality here. He comes and labels the 6 players he thinks are underperforming. Yet here they are. Again. Playing every game, just like last season.
What is the point in having a squad of players if you're gonna pick from the same 13/14 players every single game even if they're playing like shit?

Sticking with out of form but (previously) quality players isn't such a terrible thing because making 6 changes is too much and we would be weakening ourselves, we just need to get Dave at right back and Rahman at left back.
So in response to having 6 out of form players we've made 2 changes; Fabregas (underperforming) up behind Costa for Willian (who I thought was doing pretty well.) Zouma in for Cahill.
That's it.
The guys looked tired and short of imagination at the tail end of last season, and again now. Rotate? Rest players? Pick some of the millions of pounds worth of talent on the bench?

Not a single one of those players should have done anything but run back to their positions after that went.

Lmao Costa and Jagiekla doing their own thing as the play goes on.

Ref probably either didn't realise JT did it or perhaps he thought he got a push from Lukaku, the rules state it needs to be deliberate.
Im not saying it wasn't but perhaps the ref thought that
Also lol at that "dive" given by the ref on Pedro. He was off balance, players collided, not a pen not a free kick.

We built a foundation on good solid defending and work from there. Matic and Cesc are all over the place because in part the "solid" defence are all over the bloody place. Stupid mistakes like Courtois getting sent off vs Swansea and JT vs WBA, Ivanovic is still on holiday and playing like shit, I don't think Dave has been too bad to be fair. City obviously a good team, when everyone is playing poorly together it costs you against a team like that
This is affecting Costa because he's not getting any service as the link-up play between the pivot and attackers isn't there so hes doing a Torres which is to go out wide and get it himself which is the complete opposite of how he got 20~ goals last season - one touch goals (see his goal vs WBA)
He's nervous - this is his debut. The problem we have is we don't build a group of 18 players who are playing regularly who can come in and not feel the pressure. It happened with Schurrle and De Bruyne, Salah and Cuadrado - they would come on and try way too hard and struggle.
