I love Hazard, but Wilmots was right. It was 0-0 in the second half, and he was almost at the backline. It wasn't the time or place to try that stuff. He couldn't aim it and it failed miserably. It was not smart at all. He should have gone for the normal cross. Mourinho would have been more pissed than Wilmots.

Another nice quote: "If I was Cech, I'd leave." Well...

I think Thorgan needs one more year to develop. He needs to become an important player in Germany first. Then he'll be ready. This is what went wrong with Kevin I think. If he stayed in Germany on loan, he'd be more than ready to play his role for Chelsea in the 2015-2016 season.

At this rate, Neymar will easily beat both Ronaldo's and Pele's goal number for the NT. Which is kinda sad actually, because he's inferior to both. But I guess numbers never lie (unless you exclusively play shitty teams ).

Well, he's right.

No, he was rested for the Wales match on Sunday. As was Naingolan I think.

He just burned down the entire team on live television. "If you don't want to run, get off the pitch." I like this man.

I mean ok, Januzaj's set pieces are superior to the rest of the team, but on the pitch, he didn't really do anything special. When Mertens came on, there was instantly much more speed and depth in our team.

Were we watching the same match?

Finally scored again! Very happy for him.

He might not be as good as Ronaldo, but he's more fun to watch during a game.

Why do you keep repeating yourself? Are you just that keen on trolling? :-s And it's "worst" season.

Wilmots said he'll start, but play for an hour maximum. Januzaj, Dembele and Benteke will also start.

I wonder when he'll be ready for some first team action (not at Chelsea immediately obviously). He still looks like he has to gain some serious muscle to become competitive...

Please Eden, score a hattrick tomorrow so we can change the topic...

He'll probably end up with around the same amount of goals this year, barring injuries, which is great. He just can't keep missing all those chances, and after he scores a couple, the rest will follow.

It's not the difference when Eden isn't playing like shit to start with. He's playing fantastically, only thing lacking is goals. But how many goals were made directly or indirectly because of his actions this year...?

Just sent this to the son of one of our previous national goalies, battling lymph gland cancer as we speak: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B1_WlOqCEAI4LX6.jpg:large "Always keep on fighting"

Two now.

I wonder what his final stats will be this season.

Troll

Also, in "almost every game he played". Which means three PL games in total. Does that mean he was bad in two and good in one? Nice.

It's not because he doesn't fit a system that a player is "not good enough". Mata apparently was not good enough for a team that wanted to win the European Cup, yet he ... WON THE EUROPEAN CUP. That's kinda stupid, isn't it. Mata is just not a player that thrives in Mourinho's system. Doesn't make him bad. Same with KDB, who is younger than Mata and is improving every year. If he continues dominating like this, he'll get another chance at the very top. I guess for him that means staying in Germany though.

Now this is a guy who only reads wikipedia statistics.

Apparently he's so god awful they want to buy Anderlecht's Mitrovic during the winter break. Thanks Torres!
