Rom2013

Another colombian fan here.

I hope he spends all that time he has on the bench and we buy a proper number 10. His vacations this season started earlier.

I don't know. The manager is the one that has to chose. But between Costa and Drogba/Remy there is no doubt... Costa has something like 14 goals and is our main ST. The other 2 will play when Costa needs some rest or can't play. The other 2 have no option.

That doesnt mean Costa is better or worst... it just means Madrid is a lot better than almost any other team in the world. Obviously that's not the case for Atletico... Costa is a WC player, Remy is not. Remy won't play in this team because Costa is a lot better. Thats the reality.

He wont start more because we have Costa and Costa is a lot better. Is that simple. He can lay maybe in the wing, but don't expect he plays well. If he will play in the wing some games will be for Oscar and Willian will play as CAM. Oscar is over again... maybe we will see something more from him next season.

Buy a CB right now. It can be Pique or anyone... doesn't matter. What a disgrace. If possible buy 2 CB because the other one is just a little better.

Started his vacations 1 month and a half sooner than last season. He deserves it... he is "increadible".

OScar is really great... increadible. In the last 4 or 5 games away from home we had to substitute him to start playing something. It was really cool to see people saying that this is our best team, while they say Mikel is shit. But we look at the games and the conclusions should be a lot different.

The better numbers of Oscar are a lie. In reality last season Willian was better than Oscar in almost everything, just scored less 4 goals but was a better tackler, did more key passes, did more assists per minute, did also more interceptions and dribled more than Oscar. Tomorrow I put here the numbers. In the last year and a half in absolute values Willian playing a lot less minutes than Oscar did more key passes, created more chances... When you talk about the lack of quality of Willian in the final third... you can't do it without questioning the lack of quality of Oscar in that same aspect. Is that simple. Many of the people that here demand more from WIllian are the same that were saying every week how increadible Oscar is. In the past 7 games Oscar was awful and you see nothing about Oscar on here... but every week they have something to say about Willian, and before this period the increadible OScar was a complete lie. Now Oscar creates spaces... at first he was defending more because of Fabregas.... now that Oscar can't do the defensive work aswell, now he creates spaces... at the end of the season we will see how well he did. Last season he started his vacations 4 months before the others,,, but on this forum that doesn't matter.

Can you put here the numbers of Oscar and Willian last season in that same categories? Where is the difference bnetween the 2?

LOL. Oscar did 2 assists in the last league. He is our number 10 and did 2 assists. Maybe we can't have a player that did 2 assists until now in the league like WIllian, but for you we can have a number 10 that did 2 assists in the last League. We can talk all you want about the marvelous games from Oscar in this last month and a half, or in the season. Maybe about last season when he was on vacatios for 4 months. It's really cool to see how the same people that think Oscar is increadible are the same that say Willian needs to improve a lot. We can't take that seriously.

Oscar is increadible. This game was again wonderfull. Like all the season he is doing. Oh my God, Oscar gives so much in the final third.

Another horrible game. He does nothing, but gets a lot of praise for the balance he gives... when in reaity he does nothing more than Willian.

The person who built the team before Mourinho knows nothing about football. That team had Hazard, Moses, Malouda, Piazon, Oscar, Mata, Marin and also bought De Bruyne. Something like 4 number 10 players but in a normal team only 1 can play, and only 1 decent winger but a normal team should play with 2 wingers, About De Bruyne he was a disaster... it's the reality. "Oscar gives balance"... while "Willian is ineffective in the final third"... Yes, I love the way you try to say that Oscar is horrible in attack because he gives balance, and Willian is horribe in attack because he is shit. It makes a lot of sense. Today Oscar fits like a glove on the bench. In the last 4 games in 3 he was on the bench. In the last 2 games away from home that Oscar played we didn't win and Oscar did absolutely nothing. It was so bad that at the minute 60 Mourinho had to substitute him. Do you remember what happened last season with Oscar? Willian is the most consistent AM we have by far (Oscar last season was on vacations for 4 months and already started his vacations this season), Schurrle can't do a decent game when he is in the starting eleven, and Hazard sometimes seems like Messi and others he is not there at all. But more important than all of that in 2013/2014 we needed wingers, and that was the reason why we bought WIllian.

We would play with Matic, Pogba and Fabregas. But Pogba can play in the DM position if necessary without any problem.. and a team that plays 60 games every season need to rotate players and one of the obvious rotations would be Matic with Pogba. I said Pogba is better and more complete than Matic, Pogba is like Toure. Matic doesn't have that quality... Matic is better in the DM but Pogba is increadible in any position.

Pogba can play as a DM without any problem like Toure did it perfectly in Barcelona (and TOure is also a box--box). Yaya and Pogba are superstars, the perfect midielders. Matic doesn't have that quality, Pogba would play as a DM to rotate Matic, and mostly in the number 8 position with Fabregas as a number 10. But Pogba is so perfect that he can play in any position. Its like Messi, Cristiano, Toure, Suarez... you can put Cristiano in the left, iun number 10, in the right or as a ST he will be the best. The same for Pogba.

The other reason why we bought Willian was because we had a 3 number 10 in the team, and no wingers with exception of Hazard. The person who made that team knows nothing about football. But there was another problem... Oscar was not good enough, Mata can't defend at all and de Bruyne was a disaster. We needed wingers and Willian is not only a really good winger but also between all our AM's the more consistet and complete one by far. FOr me is not good enough to play every week but he is an increadible player to start 25 games in the league as our 4th AM. Again people like a lot to say bad things about WIllian but they look at Oscar and think he is increadible, when in reality Willian was better last season and will be again in this one.

Fabregas is THE PLAYER in this team. Yesterday in a normal game (he was far from brilliant) he did 1 assist, scored one goal, had another great oportunity to score and did a perfect pass for Costa. Worked like hell and did other great passes. In another world when compared to almost any other player in this team.

He is playing for Oscar, so I don't think we should demand much more... The team is a lot more balanced with Ramires or Mikel, and Fabregas is a lot better than Oscar in any position. If we want to play with Cesc in the pivot we need a better number 10. Mikel is doing ok. He is a defensive player and he does that. Fabregas is magician but still can defend... others can't do their job.

Fabregas and Matic were amazing. We didn't play that well.

No, I'm saying that he has worst numbers than many players, and numbers that actually matter (not only compared with Messi and Ronaldo but when compared with other players). Hazard is not the best player of Chelsea (Fabregas and Costa are ther best players in the team), Hazard isn't consistent, he needs to improve a lot in many aspects. Let's see for example Yaya Toure a CM. How many games Toure won for Man CIty in the last 2 years? THis season 5 goals and 1 assist, last season 20 goals 9 assist... from a CM a position that is not suposed to have this numbers. Where should we put Hazard cpompared with players like Aguero, Fabregas, Costa, Sanchez, Suarez last season, ROnaldo, Messi, Toure, Robben, Neymar, Bale that in many cases play as good as Hazard or even better and have a lot better numbers? Is this enough for a player that is supposed to be the star of this team?A team that wants to be European Champion... Right now he can't even be the best player in this team.

Hazard doesn't need only a memorable performance in a quarter final or a semi final... he needs almost everything. In 2014/2015 in the bigest leagues in the world Cristiano Ronaldo: 25 goals 8 assists Messi: 15 goals 7 assists Neymar: 11 goals 3 assists Robben: 10 goals 3 assists Alexis Sanchez: 9 goals 5 assists Bale: 7 goals 3 assists Gotze: 7 goals 1 assist Di Maria: 3 goals 6 assists Jeremy Menez 8 goals 1 assist Callejon 8 goals 1 assist Reus 3 goals 2 assists (in 7 games) Here are in Europe 11 players that play or can play in similar positions and have some of them a lot better numbers than Hazard, others are in another world, and some others are maybe comparable. There are more examples of this... We can also add CF or CM and compare everyone... Hazard doesn't need to have a good game, he needs to play a lot better and have a lot better numbers like many others do. Metrics are something really cool. In the "opinion" of whoscored Messi was in the last season a lot better than Cristiano and was "almost" the best player in Europe (I think Suarez had 8.43 and Messi 8.42). LOL, Mundo Deportivo, Marca, As, Sport, argentinian press, Barcelona fans and any football fan don't agree with it

No one said that Hazard is not between the best players in Chelsea... I said he is not the best. It's the reality. ANd between Hazard and Messi or Ronaldo there are 5 or 6 steps between him and those 2. The problem of Hazard it's not only Cristiano and Messi, is also Sanchez, Di MAria, Robben, RIbery, Gotze, Isco, Neymar, Bale, and some others that play in similar positions. He needs to do a lot more, score more goals, do more assists, play better, he needs to be a lot more consistent. There are players like Messi or ROnaldo that at the age of 18 everyone knew they would be increadible, and there are others that started playing really well 10 years after. In most cases you never know. RObinho was supposed to be a great player, Paim was better than Cristiano in Sporting, Kaka was nothing special in the youth team of São Paulo... But the reality is that Hazard is supposed to be our star... Maybe one day he will be...or maybe not. Based on reality, and not on wishful thinking, he should do a lot more.

Eden needs to make 3 or 4 more steps because this is not enough. ABout Eden being better than Fabregas (and Fabregas is a great player but also far from a Ballon d'Or quality)... well... I think the one that needs to see more games of Chelsea is not me.

No they don't. In reality Hazard is comparable to Messi or Ronaldo. Or at least he is as good as Aguero, or Fabregas for example this season. Let's all of us say how amazing he is. In reality he isn't but we should all say tthat he is amazing. In a forum where Oscar is "increadible"... yes Hazard is Ballon d'Or. Kalas is our future also. A player that can't be our best player, and Hazard today is far from it, is not one of the best players in the world in the Ballon d'Or fight. If he wants to be our super star or best player in the world he needs to improve a lot, if he wants to be one more player he is in the right path.
