Alonso

Well that's game

That was all on Alonso. What was he doing there? Mental

Alonso is a fucking clown. Were is the piece of shit there?

Very worried about this game and Barkley's participation from the start in this game.

I typed a long ass comment and its not even going to show. Very disappointing. Might as well save it for tomorrow.

I'll like to know what Sarri told these guys at half-time. The passing is even slower and more sluggish than the 1st half which was terribly slow. Truly shocking.

Trashed by a tiny club 3-0 in back to back seasons.

We lucked out with two titles under Mourinho and Conte. This is an awfully run club with a bunch of clueless morons at the top. Compare how we're run to clubs like City and even 'Pool that actually have a long term plan. Its ALL coming home to roost.

CHO is much better on the left. I don't know why Sarri keeps playing him on the right.

He's freaking brilliant. Makes me not even remember a great keeper like Courtois left us. He's that good. His distribution is a million times better than Courtois' mediocre distribution plus he's an excellent shot stopper. The best distribution of any Chelsea keeper probably ever. His command of the box has really impressed/surprised me. Love everything about Kepa. He's been easily one of our best players this season.

I think Willian and Alonslow are going to feel his wrath from now on. Emerson over Alonslow. Hazard - Higuain - Pedro up front.

Nah I believe Emerson starts from now on. Sarri can be stubborn but he's not stupid. He can now see Emerson is twice the player that Alonslow is.

A few days ago we were told by some that he wasn't world class (even when he was being played out of position)

And here comes the resident Hazard hater. You're a bigger fan of Salah, a player who plays for the enemy than you are a fan of Hazard, one of the greatest players to wear a Chelsea shirt. Thanks goodness 99% of this forum are reasonable people and recognize him as the best in in the PL. I won't criticize Hazard playing out of position as a striker after two average performances. And the fact you think the Belgian national team is "hardly" better than ours kind of says it all. I'll let you have the last word cus I know that's what you really want.

Hazard has been hampered by both Conte and Sarri in the last 2 seasons. Just play him in his right position and he'll be alright. He was the best player at the World Cup and arguably the best player on the planet or at worst top 2 just about a month/6 weeks ago. Then Sarri started tampering with his position like Conte did in 17/18. Hazard has already shown many times that he doesn't have the qualities to play as a striker. He likes to drop deep to recieve the ball and run at players. Sarri has taken that away from him like Conte did last year. He was by far the best player in the PL in his correct position just a few months ago despite playing with inferior players and a new tactical system (to Salah). If you can't see that then its your problem. But when Higuain comes back and Hazard is back in his normal position and starts balling again. Don't jump back on the Hazard train.

Salah has yet to win zilch for Liverpool as their marquee player. Nothing. And you're crowning him? Are you seriously going to compare what Hazard has done for us and in the PL to what Salah has achieved? He has 4 team of the year appearances in 6 years and has multiple player of the year accolades including 2 top 2 finishes in the last 4 years. No other PL player comes close to his records in England besides De Gea and Kane and both have 1 PL title between them. Hazard has won 2 titles, winning both as the best player in England. David Silva? Boy, you seriously are reaching with that one. That's an embarrassing take, Juan. You're better than this.

Here we go again with the dreaded "suffering" word. Literally can't make half of this shit up!

you consider 2 players in the world world class that's okay. Messi doesn't even look half as dominant for Argentina when he isnt surrounded with the best players at Barcelona. Hazard's performance for Belgium either equals or supersedes anything Messi has done with Argentina. Messi and Ronaldo don't play with the dross Hazard has had to endure with for most of his Chelsea career. Wait till Hazard leaves us and joins a better team and you'll quickly see what he means to this side. Don't let your frustrations with the current state of affairs at the club make you say silly things. Hazard is demonstrably the PL's best player. So far, Sarri is pretty much following the Conte script of playing Hazard out of position which has coincided with drop in goals : games ratio. It's literally the same as 17/18. If Higuian is the striker we think he is, Hazard will be back ripping shit up in his natural position.

Hazard is in the top 5 attacking players in the world. He's in the world XI. He's the best player in the world that plays for the worst supporting cast and that has been the case for many many years. Saying he isn't world class is silly. He proved it at the World Cup and has proven it many times at Chelsea.

Sarri has been an absolute shambles recently. Waiting for Higuain to start starting games. We'll see how good of a manager Sarri actually is since his no striker excuse will be obsolete.

This better defensively shit is just Mourinho residue programming. When Neymar starts on the left, he doesn't track back for shit. Nobody even cares or brings it up. Neither should Hazard. That way of thinking gotta go. And we're a better team with Giroud at least as a stop gap.

We're basically Arsenal level now. Clinging and hoping for 4th place. Two back to back season of 4th - 5th place mediocrity. We've been insanely poorly run for many years now from board level. Chickens coming home to roost guys.

We were winning games in the first few months of the season with Giroud playing up front, so I beg to differ. The side is better with Giroud. Our problems started when Sarri started introducing Morata back into the side and to a lesser extent Willian.
