He already did once last season with this approach but I agree it might not be as bad as I put it I guess. Just hope he is able to hit in more ways like Lampard used to do in his prime or Gerrard recently

Or sometime the game will be over in the 1st 15 mins like Liverpool against Arsenal

Yes like I said he was brought on TO DO THAT, he might have done it but my point is that he had no REAL ROLE in any of the goals. It was all THEIR FAULTS. Maybe if Vertonghen might not have fucked that up Oscar would still have helped to win anyway but overall in this match he really contributed nothing directly that counts(the result)

Like Liverpool and Man City atm? They are scoring for free at will, yet behind us. Even in 09-10 season, we played amazing football but barely won it by 2 points after that ref error at Old Trafford. I don't get where people get the idea from that just because you play amazing football you WILL WIN THE TITLE. Yes there are cases like Bayern atm, last season too or Barca in 10-11. But look how long could they sustain it? Barca seems in decline atm, Bayern walks the league but that is because all the other teams are terrible or not up to it, buying direct rival's best player(Gotze) helped too. Tell me one team that have been consistently winning trophies and play attacking football in the modern era, if Barca can't do it, why can we? Btw the closest manager in the world atm that can guarantee both good football and trophies are Pep, and he is at Bayern. He and Jose are the only 2 that can guarantee trophies along with Carlo. Notice how they are all at best clubs in the world? If you want to have a manager like Pellegrini who wants to play attacking football all the time but fk it up when it really matter against top top teams like us, Bayern or Barca then be my guess. We don't have the luxury of attacking football and consistent trophies as Liverpool and City have shown, you just got to choose 1. Nd I don't understand the criticism of us being boring anyway, yh we are ultra conservative against top top teams but we are capable of playing brilliant flowing attacking football against City, Bayern. At home we never rest until we have scored a goal or 2. But you want us to go for 2-3 more goals I get it, different preference but at the end of the day the manager knows best.

On theory yes in reality he contributed next to nothing in the win.

Even if Torres is fit I don't think Jose is gonna rush him back, Eto'o played well anyway so he will keep his place. Agreed with the rest though.

He always seem to try the same type of penalty, it will eventually get find out by the GK imo. Need to learn to put them hard in the top corner too in case when coming up the bests like Lopez, Neuer, Casillas...etc. Neuer especially best in the world at stopping pen, trying lazy or deceiving pens with him won't work like Ozil did.

Such as winning 2 Euros, CL, numerous cups and world cup despite doing fk all in most of those triumphs? Oh and also being in top 10 richest player in the world too, agreed.

The whole game was changed when their defenders decided to fuck it up themselves...Oscar done NOTHING significantly with most of the goals?

Imagination Nope there isn't but his contract expires at beginning of 2015 apparently so in theory he should never costs more than 20m at best, but he is so pupular eventually 30-40m will be required imo.

No he isn't and shouldn't be, Oscar have actually not done much in recent months. I think the last time he was at his best was in Dec, since then he had mostly OK games with a few great like against Stoke but generally been poor. Mean while Cavani is in top 5 best striker in the world atm and would cost far more, we would be getting a bargain.

Yes. Kroos is FAR BETTER than Oscar atm. In fact he is one of the best German mid and that is quite an achievement considering they got Ozil, Gotze, Bastian, Gundogan and others. Not to mention Lahm can also play there.

I think we will go unbeaten for the rest of the season but will drop points when teams park the bus. I am really worry about that Norwich game even if it is at home, they park it even against the likes of Stoke so can't imagine what they will do against us.

Kind of ironic that our back 4 costs next to nothing in context with other top teams, we are meant to be one of the team in Europe that buy most expensive players yet our back line costs: Ivan 7m Cahill 7m Terry free Dave 10m so 25m max in total Barca got Alves alone who is 30m, Silva alone for PSG is 40m, Madrid as well and others. Only City can rival us in this area but still Nastasic costs 16m alone himself. So it is really kind of ironic that one of the best defence in Europe costs much less than other teams, who says we can't find bargain?

If we win the BPL this season he will go down as one of the greatest manager in premier league history surely? Just need 1 more CL and a World Cup then best ever in football history.

We got David Luiz in return though

Until Real win the treble...

Shame football hardly ever work like that, even when there are 10 promising players in your team it doesn't mean they will all go on and be the back bone or stay for 10-15 years like Terry, Gerrard, Messi, Iniesta...etc On this subject, the chance of signing this guy is as good as signing Benzema atm.

Basically no one should debate about whether Luiz should leave or stay anymore, this is what should happen and WILL HAPPEN LIKE SOME ALREADY MENTIONED: 1. He stays if Barca or whoever can't offer at least £35m, be a good player that is useful, not a regular indispensable like Hazard, Dave...etc unless from now to end of the season he puts in City away like performance every match and then have a great world cup. Even then it will probably make Barca even more determine to get him and might offer more than £40m, in that case we should will likely have to take it, impossible to refuse seeing as even the best defender in the world doesn't cost that much(SIlva) 2. He continues being in and out the team for the rest, have a decent/average and does nothing to impress Jose more. Barca comes in and try to low ball us, probably eventually settle on like £30m+ add on. He goes and Zouma stays here for next season, fine too. 3. He put in Varane like performances like the French did during the end of last season and becomes a truly Mou fav, have a good world cup and insists he want to stay. Jose said he wants that too and we live happily until at least end of next season(hopefully this) But for me personally, I can see the case of 2 most likely. Either way, doesn't look like he will be the back bone of our team for the future unless something dramatically changes from now on.

Imagine if Ivanovic was Costa last season, fucking hell Suarez wouldn't have any teeth left to bite again

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL agreed with the rest about Costa though.

He doesn't want to fight that is the problem though and it will be the same next season especially with Torres being unsellable too. Basically replaces Ba and Eto'o with Costa/Cavani or who ever expensive, surely there is no way for Lukaku to break through. Not to mention he isn't exactly doing well with Jose personally...he should have acted like Varane and prove his worth in training, waiting for his chance and take it when it arrives(which I am sure it would have at some point considering our terrible strike force) Now he gone to Everton, having a good season(not great but good) yet he isn't exactly in Jose's favor. So even though he is young, I can see him doing a Kevin next summer. Maybe he will stay until Jan then Everton or whoever is in striking crisis and pays like 20m for him then he is gone from us for good. So overall my point is it is not us who want to sell him, he will want to leave permanently(already hinted a few time this season)

Calm down guys, he might have scored a hat trick but doesn't mean he is a great player. He was just on good form today, look at his 1st half and see how shocking he was. He is good enough for Chelsea, just not as a starter.

Best Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde performance of a player in Chelsea modern history? Can't even do basic passes for 45 mins, score hat trick in next 20 mins.

All the craps about Schurlle and he is actually on 6 goals now, Willian on 0.
