Just tuning in. Why the f.... did this clown bench Hazard? Is he okay?

We can never be seriously competitive for Dembele. We don't really shop at that level in the market anymore and we're not that attractive to players of the talent/calibre of Dembele. First of all he's not going anywhere. It's just media noise, its absurd to think he'll be let go. He's the present and future of Barca and Valverde will always be 1st out of town before Dembele Secondly, there are better teams than us out there both footballing wise and competitive wise Thirdly, our CL future and managerial future is still up in the air. We have to convince him we're now a football team and not a rugby team and there's just not enough space to do that since Sarri won't come until next season Lastly, if you were a player of that level be honest, you won't want to come to Chelsea. PSG will be a great destination for Dembele. Dembele on the right, Neymar in the middle and Mbappe playing his best position on the left. That will be their attack sorted for many many years.

I bring statistical facts. Your opinions on Hazard are ridiculous which is why I never miss an opportunity to call it out when I see it. But thank goodness most of the members on this forum are sensible individuals. Only you, LAMO9 and DDA think like this. If Hazard had a poor game today you'll have been 1st in line in his forum, trolling and typing shit. But he had a good game so you're nowhere to be seen. That's pathetic mate. Have a word with yourself.

How does Man City have no relevance when you're crying about Hazard's stats. Man City don't go into games looking to protect a 1-0 lead or playing on the counter against every big team as we've been doing throughout Hazard's stay here. It's not just City, its also Spurs and Liverpool. It's caveman football we play and I'm tired of watching this shit. Conte- Mourinho enough and I'm sure Roman is bored to death. And It's very relevant to compare and contrast our style of play to other teams and how that hampers our attacking players in certain games. If you can't see that then you don't know anything about football.

Of course he won't score 40. How many non-strikers in European football have scored 40 in a season in the last decade? Moot point that means absolutely nothing. Lack of consistency. More nonsense: First season - Team of the year, already a top 2 Chelsea player Second season - YPOTY, team of the year, 2nd in PFA player of the year voting. Third season - POTY, team of the year. Fourth season - disaster Fifth season - 2nd in POTY and could easily have won it for the 2nd time. Team of the year Sixth season - Fuck off with that bullshit man. You and Jason are the same. Absolutely pathetic.

Sterling has 23 goals and 17 assists this season because he plays in Guardiola's system. He doesn't have a prayer of doing this under Conte or Mourinho, two of the most defensive managers in Europe. Mourinho was so defensive and archaic that he couldn't even find use for Salah and De Bruyne. Maybe its high time you start blaming the defensive system Hazard has had to play for throughout his Chelsea career instead of the player? It's common sense that a player can only produce in the system given to him especially as he's not even a battering ram type striker but a dimunitive attacking midfielder. There's literally no way Hazard can improve his goals/assists if he's not playing for a more progressive manager or in a better team. This same Hazard had 22 goals and 25 assists in his last season at Lille. Is he a worse player at 27 to what he was at 21? Let's start using common sense please. And this is not the right place to start with this never ending discussion. The man just put in a world class display in our most important game of the season.

It's Real Madrid they're facing not Atletico Madrid. Real Madrid won't average 30% possession against them. And they're several ways to beat Liverpool. They're a very good Premier league level team exceeding their level due to their terrific manager. Other than Klopp they're nothing amazing. They still have a lot of mediocre players and their starting XI in comparison to Madrid's is a joke.

Cech was already past his best. It was the logical move. Time to get over it.

After the relatively positive football against Southampton, he reverted back to type against Swansea. Pathetic. If we play like we did against Swansea, if we play like that against Liverpool we'll get blown off the pitch

I can't wait for Conte to go for this bullshit to end. And some think that results are the only thing that matter in football. Not when you're one of the biggest sports teams in the world. Yikes, Conte is embarrassing just like his brother Mourinho.

66% possession for Swansea. This is turgid

Mourinho would have sold all of them and be demanding 60 million pound replacement players from his board

Look at the level of the football. Insane and we all know the catenaccio specialist Mourinho and Conte can only dream of producing such amazing football. But don't tell it to the he-hasn't-won-anything at Liverpool merchants though.

The only thing with Liverpool is away from their stronghold at Anfield they aren't nearly half as dangerous. Also they lack experience facing the real powerhouses like Madrid and Bayern. They could choke.

Klopp certainly one of the top 2 managers in world football. The football he's able to create with this group of players is mesmeric.

Nuff said

Why will you play a lineup that has barely played before in the FA Cup final of all places?

Most times Conte's Chelsea have faced Mourinho's United its been the Blues doing more of the football but it remains to be seen how it goes when the game is played on a neutral ground.

I agree Johnny. I'm taking Giroud all day to start the final. Morata might be the better player but Giroud is the better striker right now and is higher on confidence than Morata.

I'm more condident of that knowing its United and not Spurs. I'm always wary when its Liverpool, Spurs, City and even Arsenal due to the way they play. But against United he should see more of the ball I hope.

Hazard is incredible.

Rabona sighting Eden

Notice how all of a sudden South I'm glad the fans booed the shit out of it

Insane decision by the Italian fraud
