    Haven't seen a statement from the club yet but there was speculation that both Jones and Smalling are ready to return. Pretty sure they've been doing full training for the last few days.

    Spurs are a joke yet they are still on the same amount of points as Utd and Arsenal? Pochettino is an intelligent manager and will turn things around imo. Far too early to be caling them a joke, especially when they're level with us having played far tougher opposition.

    Where did I call them a joke?

    There's not much between Di Maria and Hazard when they're at their best but I do think Di Maria is at his best more than Hazard.

    Bit early to judge Di Maria in England yet isn't it? Not saying he won't prove to be better than Hazard but playing so few games in the Premier league against very average opposition it's impossible to say yet and a pointless comparison. Yet.

    Sorry but could you not compare Messi and Hazard because they play in a different league?

    Indeed, so an amendment to my previous post, time will tell who has a better career in England. Which you probably care more about, as do I. Real Madrid and Manchester United are obviously very different beasts.

    Won't get to see this so it'll be highlights later for me.We need a win to improve on our poor away form and it'd bring us to within 3 points of 2nd place.

    -Di Maria is not better than Hazard. Both great players and they've both been outstanding this season, though Hazard has played against much better opposition thus far.

    Come on now, Di Maria is better then Hazard, both are incredible players but if given a choice you would be taking Di Maria all day, if not I would worry. He has everything Hazard has and more.

    -Don't really know how you can say Mata is better than Oscar who is a key man in the team currently running away with the league and also a key figure for the Brazilian national side whereas Mata can't even get a game in the Spanish team (or Utd's for that matter).
    Oscar fits Jose's Chelsea better then Mata, thats it at this point, huge talent, huge potential, right now Mata is superior. I will ignore the silly international argument as you know how irrelevant that is. I do feel the need to point out that the Mata can't get a game for United is just plain dumb though. We have played 7 league games, he has started 5 and come on as a sub in 1. He has missed 1 game where was an unused substitute, how the **** is that a guy who cant get a game??

    Oscar will be the next player dropped by Jose, especially if he picks up Khedira and sits himself and Matic in the middle with Fabregas behind Costa.

    Has been a bit below par for a while. Mata's goalscoring also belies some average performances.

    Can you not judge him on his career before he came to The Best League In The Worldtm?

    Personally, my eyes tell me Di Maria is a better player then Hazard, but just like there is no shame in saying Fabregas is better then Herrera, there is also no shame in Di Maria being a better player then Hazard, he is still quality

    Maybe not dropped as he really is a cracking player, does so much work without the ball also, but he might be moved around a bit I feel if Jose reverts to type so to speak

    I don't think there is much between Di Maria and Hazard, Hazard just needs to be a little more consistent which I think he is doing so far this season. Di Maria also needs to add more goals to his game which again judging by the start of the season he is doing. I'm sure no Chelsea fans would swap Hazard for Di Maria and vice versa United fans. It is very close and there is arguments to be had for both players.

    Just caught Harrys press conference where he kinda tears into Taraabt, enjoyed it, good for the game that kind of honesty, but surely he cant be serious that Taraabt is picking up 60-70k a week?! That is madness.

    Be interesting to see if this deal will actually sellout the stadium

    I disagree. I think Utd fans are overrating Di Maria (only Utd fans could do this).

    He has been pretty ineffectual in those games. If you're honest with yourself, you'll admit that Mata has been on a whole slightly disappointing in light of what was expected of him when he signed. I'm willing to give him time though as he is obviously a quality footballer.

    I think that's great from City. Not going to sell out? Might as well get something out of it.

    If I'm a dad whose kid wants to watch regular football in Manchester, I know where I'd be bringing him/her. CL football for a 6th of what you'd pay for two Arsenal CL games

    He didn't mention Mata's performance, you spouted nonsense about him not getting games, and now you're just shifting goalposts cause you were proved wrong, it's obvious what you're at.


    Also lol @ Hazard being better than Di Maria, deluded.

    If Hazard played for United and Di Maria for Chelsea would you say the same? No problem with people thinking Di Maria is a better player but it's not at all deluded to think Hazard is. Two outstanding players and two of the best in the league.
