What's the point of a Matic??
 
He's become horrible in defense, the game just seems to go past him, he doesnt create shit, all he does is dribble the ball towards the players he wants to pass to cause his passing is so bad

Just replace him with Luiz, the more i think about it, the more i like it,
Luiz-Kante-Oscar is the best midfield we have right now (sadly but true, except for maybe some youngsters), And keep Cesc for what he is good for these days, an impact sub when players are already tired and his slugishness doesnt seem out of place that much any more

You gotta be really special to leave Cesc in the bench against Burnley at home and play him against arsenal away.

The more I look at it the more I am convinced that Mourinho overachieved two seasons ago and that Conte won't get anything from this squad. A poor team managed by an average coach can't fight for more than 6th at the table. Starting Cesc today was clueless, but nothing in football is more clueless than Cahill defending

Have you seen Alonso? He's slower than Ivanovic. Walcott would tear him a new arsehole.
This is why we're shit: our first team is crap and the bench is even worse.
Hopeless club. Shame we can't play Burnley every week.

I don't think it would've hurt so bad if we are top of the table with a world class team worthy to be compared with Barcelona, Madrid and Bayern. But at the moment, the reality is that our team is filled with some average players and we are in a tough phase of rebuilding. If we end up being at the top again in the near future then this wouldn't sting much. It also became more of a mockery for Chelsea because Oscar turned out to be amazingly average. 
KDB will always be the one that got away. Selling Mata was right, I miss him and would take him back for cheap but at that time it was the right decision. Lukaku? Seriously, who cares? But KDB will always be the one that haunts me (for now). What's done is done, sadly.

Ok guys, why the heck Chelsea bought Schurrle and Willian in 2013 when they already had Mata, Hazard, Oscar and KdB ? One of them ok but two ? Wouldn't it be wiser to spend 30m£ on central-midfielder since we started that season with only  Ramires, Lampard, Essien and Mikel ?
That's what f*cked KdB here. 6 AMs for 3 spots with reluctance to rotate.

I wouldn't want to waste my prime years.

Go retire ffs

To quote what Claude once said of Giroud, Matic is a freaking 'lamp post'! He's cumbersome, slow on the ball, poor intelligence and extremely one footed.

Hln is probably the trashiest newspaper in the country [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Almost criminal that we are in this position and yet players like musonda, RLC, kenedy cant get minutes for us

We all get you don't like Hazard but seriously come on how petty are you getting? Making three separate posts about players scoring more than him just to take the piss. Is that really necessary. Can't you just put that all into one post? Feel like I am acting as a mod but just rather annoying becaue you are not adding anything constructive by doing that.

No one is allowed to say anything about Hazard? Please, share with us where you saw that memo or even announcement.
If you want to critique Hazard's form this season, that's fine. But if you're gonna do that by throwing out things like 'he has no balls', 'he's faking his injuries', 'he doesn't fancy it' or doubting his professionalism, then that is where things start to get silly and you can expect people to refute those points.
And if you really want to talk about hypocrites, how about those people who asked for Mourinho to be given time and not to be sacked because of one bad season? How about those who continued to give their backing for Torres even though he did next to nothing for us? What about those who asked for patience with someone like Oscar despite his inconsistency? With Hazard, one bad season and people suddenly want him out.

I don't agree with that last point. What's the point of selling players like Aguero (unless they really want to leave)? Liverpool and Spurs fans were jumping for joy with all that money. We'll just re-invest! Only to be left with good/decent/mediocre players. No more exceptional quality. The only way after Aguero is down. City's too rich to sell anyway.
Same with Chelsea and Hazard. 100m. Great. Who comes in? Reus, Bale, Neymar, Sanchez? Nope. They're in a much better situation. More Cuadrado's, Salah's, Moses'... just the thought of it. Another Willian. Took him a while to make a name for himself but a fine player now. Can he guide you titles? I don't think so.
Money's only good if you can truly replace. Real Madrid sell Ozil, they buy Bale. They sell Di Maria, they buy James Rodriguez.
Chelsea sold David Luiz, Mata, Lukaku, Schurrle for big money. Great! Now people are crying about the investments made with that money. Rinse and repeat if it happens with Hazard and maybe Courtois. They must be kept.

Had Hazard picked up this injury in any of the last 3 seasons, would anyone really be questioning him? All of this came about because we sacked Mourinho last month and doubting his honesty and professionalism due to that seems farcical.

Exactly. he has the bad habit of dribbling the ball 10 yards towards a player to make a 1 yard pass instead of making a 11 yard pass.
At times it's great we have a midfielder who can carry the ball forward when there are no good passing options but too often he slows the game down too much. But then again the same can be said about alot of other players...

apparently not quite tall enough too make it as a RB, sign up Crouch!!!

I think as was proven again last season, flat-track bullies win you leagues, while big game players win you cups.

We have 8 under-performing players who all deserve criticism and 'booing' from the fans...targeting 3 of them and calling them rats to release the frustration is pretty pathetic
Fans may be upset at losing Mourinho but this is Chelsea FC, not Mourinho FC.

Thats not how cause and effect work. Players returning to good form after Mou gets sacked does not necessarily mean the reason behind it was due to them being against Mou

LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!
uhm, i mean Mourinho

It is funny how supporters lap it up when Jose says 'he's one of us', he said the same at Porto, Inter and if he has a few good years at United will say the same. When he left Inter he said that was the club most close to his heart, not Chelsea. I am a massive Jose fan but he talks a lot of BS.
I just want Chelsea to go back to basics, good football, clean cut manager who is sensible that'll give youth a chance. We dont even have to win the league for the next few years, i just want to see us progressing. Look at what Pochettino is doing at Spurs, he's the real manager with balls. He doesnt care if a player is young and has no experience, he trust them and lets them play their natural game. Jose would rather take the easy option, spend 30-40 million on a player rather than developing one. Alex Ferguson said one of the main reason for his success at United was the fact that he trusts youngsters and is willing to give them a try, Jose is the pure opposite.
