Player Focus: Prevailing Inconsistency Preventing Oscar’s Rise to the Top It is difficult to disagree with Jose Mourinho's assertion that his Chelsea side had put on the “perfect game” to beat Swansea so convincingly at the weekend.

Player Focus: Transfer Rumour Round-Up - Day 20 Ignacio CamachoAfter Arsenal's unfamiliarly disciplined display at the Etihad at the weekend Francis Coquelin has been lavished with praise for his part in an increase in the Gunners' defensive solidity of late.

by
Match Report: Kane Inspires Perfect Start to 2015 for Spurs in Victory Over Chelsea In reference to a 5-4 Arsenal win over Tottenham, José Mourinho once said that “if the score reaches 5-4 I send the players back to the dressing rooms as they are not defending properly.
