Hazard not performed well this world cup, in fact which Premier league based players have?

Season too long, no mid season break??
That's very generic. who in the WC has performed well really? Any Argie. Brazil, France holland?? I can't think of anyone bar James Rod who has really shined.

I should add that the Keepers and a few CBs I cannot name cos they are not household names have impressed.

I fucking hate Di Maria. Not overly disappointed he's gone off.

What does Fellaini offer??

He's a centre mid who can't tackle, can't pass, has no dribbling skills and a poor touch. He's got no stamina and a poor work rate. He's only good at heading the ball because he's big and strong, which is why he often abandons his position to be some sort of target man support striker leaving Witsel doing 2 people's job. And against Argentina, that's very fucking stupid.

Like everyone thought, Fellaini is the weak link in the center for Belgium. Even Dembele in poor form offers more, cause he can at least shield the ball. Mirallas also is a much more effective player as a substitute. I think Wilmots should make several changes at the half.

Mertens for Mirallas, Dembele for Fellaini, and Lukaku for Origi.

Unless you're going to repeatedly hoof the ball into the box, which Belgium don't, there is absolutely no point in Fellaini being on the pitch. It's like playing Peter Crouch in midfield.

Dembele has his faults but nowhere near as many as that clown.

Not sure this is thread for it but FIFA disciplinary committee are "investigating" the Zuniga challenge that injured Neymar!! Why don't they investigate the Fernandinho's 42 fouls or the Home bias referee decisions or the diving?? !!!!
