His actions in the summer were disrespectful to Mourinho. Don't you agree? Mourinho had promised him a place in the squad, but when Eto'o came, he panicked and asked to be transferred. He's still a kid, but that's no way for a Chelsea player to behave.

Lukaku's actions were bizarre and disrespectful to the club and the manager. I've never heard of a player demanding a loan transfer in the last few days of the transfer window. In hindsight, we should have rejected it. Knowing Mourinho, he doesn't stand for such stuff. Lukaku might be off.

As opposed to City with a non-existent red card for Rose against Spurs or Tiote's goal being cancelled, or the insane decisions they got against Liverpool. Stop listening to the biased cunts of other clubs that repeat this Chelsea have got decisions myth. Most of our rivals have had even MORE decisions in their favour. Jesus Christ!

Interesting, no articles this morning on Chris Foy in the British press, but I guess it's Chelsea, so they don't give a shit. Nothing from Gallagher or Poll. We need more of our people in the media. If this was Man United or Liverpool, there would have been a riot.

Not this way. Like Mourinho said, this was a complete performance of utter bias from Foy and his assistants from minute 1. Not just about Willian's "card". The entire game was a joke.

We don't score from set-pieces because Lamps is the only one who can deliver a good set-piece. Matai isn't here anymore. Hazard should take the set-pieces, not corners but set-pieces. He was very good at them in Lille. Don't know why we keep persisting with Willian's pathetic corners to no one in particular.

Hazard = 9 of his 13 PL goals with Eto'o. 4 of his 13 PL goals with Torres. Torres is the cancer. Has been since 2011.

People saying start Schurrle, but how many people were calling for him to start against Villa after his pathetic performance against Tottenham. Everyone was saying "start Willian, start Willian". The problem is that some of our players are simply not good enough for varying reasons.

http://www.transfermarkt.com/en/nemanja-matic/profil/spieler_74683.html According to this, he played almost every second second for Benifica this season. No stamina issues, he's not Ozil. I think against West Brom, we had played like 3 days before (many of our boys looked tired in that match) and again today, the reason was obvious. He had to put in a double shift after the red card, and Aston Villa players were double teaming on him high up the pitch to win the ball back. No such "stamina issues" in any other games. Not against Stoke, Spurs, Everton, City. He's really just a beast in every way if you ask me. Everything you want in a DM... Simply world class. And he's already my 2nd favourite player in this squad.

He might be a great player for us in the future, but his selfishness could end up costing us the league this season. Always about him, never about the group.

What was the justification for loaning Moses to Liverpool and buying a player like Schurrle for 18 million. It's stupid.

That's a scandalous thing to say and it's completely false. It's because of him that we are even in the conversation for the title this season. Besides, it makes more sense to keep Willian on the pitch despite the yellow card because of his pace. Villa were playing a ridiculously high line at times. As for Salah. He would have made no difference today. He is not ready to play in such pivotal games like this. Not yet, anyway, judging by his cameos. Thank god you aren't the Chelsea manager.

What? Nobody has blamed Hazard yet for not passing to him? Ok, seriously. The signs were there that he was already a busted flush at Liverpool. 9 goals in his last 26 games the season we signed him. I don't know what the fuck we were thinking. I remember saying to myself after he limped off injured in the World Cup final, "It will be a very bad idea signing this guy, he's lost it". But Roman wanted him and wasted his money, a'la Shevchenko. Hopefully from now on, he leaves the football decisions to the football people. He was never even THAT good to begin with. Only one season in his entire career above 30 goals. His 22 goal tally with us (most against shit opposition, only 8 in 38 in the league) last season was his second ever highest tally! But because of his apparent good looks, because of his apparent nice hair, because he was Liverpool's number 9 and whatever silliness, he was immediately heralded as the "best striker in the world" by the British press and the ever hyper-fanatic Liverfool fans, despite being so dependent on his pace and being desperately one-dimensional. From Neil Ashton's article on Whoscored 2 seasons ago: "At Chelsea, as they attempted to solve his (Torres) poor form, the coaching staff conducted a study of his 81 goals in a Liverpool shirt, and discovered that 56 of them (69%) had their origins in a through ball, usually from Gerrard or Alonso." That's crazy, and it shows how dependent Torres was on the final ball to be a good player. Torres is no Suarez, Eto'o, Aguero, van Persie, Cavani or Falcao. Never has been. He can't create space for his shot, his close control in tight spaces is poor and he can't run a forward line on his own like Drogba. Now that the pace is gone, he's basically a much poorer version of his previous overrated self. That doesn't explain the lack of care though. His attitude (or lack thereof ) stinks. We have 8 games to go in the league plus one/some CL games, depending on what happens against Galatasaray. Personally, I will prefer if Jose doesn't play him from now till the end of the season and he fucks off back to Spain. Thanks for the goal against Barca and the one in the EL final, but leave before you destroy yourself any further.

I know. I was being sarcastic.

That's typical Henrique. I'm surprised he hasn't posted on the Hazard thread yet. He loves belittling our best players, for some strange reason.

Zero balance in that team.

He was a bit of both. In the league, he was used a lot as an impact sub. I saw it mentioned quite a bit. Of course in the CL against us, he started all their games.

Scouts of other clubs . I'm not going to dismiss Willian just yet. I will give him time, but he seems to lack genuine quality and talent. He is not the player we hoped he will be and in reality, we only bought him because Spurs were seemingly building something amazing. In hindsight, we shouldn't have bought him.

People (scouts) actually watch games. No one will buy him for anything close to the amount we paid.

I was worried Never have I known such a hyped up player as Neymar.

I'm just glad he's not on silly wages

You think Neymar is the best young talent in the world? Hazard and Pogba are better. He's just pure hype like many Brazilians these days. Basically Robinho 2.0. The only world class players for Brazil are Thiago Silva and Alves. No one else.

I think we will beat Arsenal at home and I think you seriously over-estimate Liverpool's quality. They will drop points. Man City are much more scary, but they have some hard games away from home. I still think we are in a decent position to win it.

It's easy to blame the manager when we don't win a game. Like you know anything about football compared to Jose. Cut the bullshit out and think before you post. Schurrle earlier? WTF did Schurrle do against Spurs? He was shit and a waste of space. Don't blame the manager when the players are not THAT good. He has performed miracles with this squad. This was supposed to be a season of transition, but yet there we sit.... at the top of the league. Some of you guys need to get a grip. The only surprise was Eto'o not even being on the bench.

Just looking at all the decisions that went against us in this game leaves a sore taste in my mouth. I'm not one for conspiracies, but was anybody really surprised how pathetic Foy and the other officials were? (1)Two times Torres and Hazard were wrongly ruled for offside when through on goal. (2)The last-ditch fouls on Schurrle and Ramires when they were both through on goal. (3) The questionable yellows for Willian. Ramires' none existen first yellow. (4) The 50/50's....So many went against us. Iva did nothing but was called for a foul when in an attacking position. The opposition player clearly jumped on him. Foy would no doubt be cashing in on his performance tonight. His bets were well in, I'm sure. In a sane world, after such an incompetent performance from a ref and his officials...... in a sane world, they would be investigated for gross incompetence and possible bias. How many critical decisions did Chris Foy make on the basis of Villa players' reactions? And how many wrong calls from the linesmen? This is the same bastard that officiated that game against QPR that was basically a carbon copy of this one, in terms of blatant, one-sided decisions. In 564 games Chris Foy averaged 0.17 red cards a match. In his last 8 Chelsea games he has sent off 5.. This is not a coincidence..... a lot of money involved = a lot of cheatin involved. We were always going to get one of THESE (rigged) games, and we have to blame ourselves for not killing the game (easier said than done with the likes of Torres upfront) earlier.
