You must admit Y, Hazard, Oscar and Mata are more Wengyesque type players.

They are extremely talented nonetheless, among the best in the world at what they do. If Jose can't get the best out of them then he is more limited than I thought. I think he will turn it around given time because he is a good manager. I am still bewildered by his unwillingness to play Mata though.
If you are the tactical genius that 'some' seem to think Maureen is, then you aren't doing a very good job of backing that up when you can't get more out of the likes of Etoo, Mata, Hazard, Schurrle, De Bruyne, Ramires, Cech, Oscar, Ba and Torres.
What Maureen has done so far at Chelsea is nothing short of clownish IMO. Love it, and long may it last. 
Amazing stuff. Can't wait to play these two sides.

And Willian. Don't know why they wasted their money on more midfielders.

What to do with a bunch of talented attacking players?
This might actually require some kind of tactical notion on how to play attacking football, instead of defending with 8 men and banking on the individual quality of the 2-3 guys up front.
Think we may be getting ahead of ourselves here.
Their team is too talented not to do something this season. Imagine Mourinho will have Hazard ahead of Oscar/Mata because he's more athletic, and with time he'll get the midfield working. Mikel may be limited but Ramires is a top player and I could see Luiz getting time back in midfield.

Maybe, and if Wenger had all three here we'd win the league

Cool. Who scored?
Higuain gets the international headlines at the moment but Insigne is the one to watch out for in Napoli this season imo. It's been brewing for a while. He's an incredible talent.
He was very good in the Dortmund game.

Poor, poor finishing the only reason why Zenit isn't up by a couple of goals at home to Vienna. 0-0, and then in the 44th minute Witzel gets sent off for a nothing challenge.
Think I am going to put a small bet on Zenit to win. Must be terrific odds now.
Hulk hammer from no where sounds like a sure thing
Glad I didn't put that bet in. Dinner got in the way...
Neil Lennon is such a mode cunt.
Don't know how he inspires his players when he always comes across as so depressed.
Extremely dodgy decision by the ref in Ajax game to give Milan a penalty in the last minute. Ajax were robbed.
Anyone seen Draxler's goal for Schalke tonight? Amazing. He's tearing it up in the CL and he looks like a player that will become one of the best in the world for sure.
Oh, I have seen it alright...
Id still get Reus before Draxler.
