@The Skipper This kid to be an understudy to Cesc and eventually replace him. He's amazing. So complete. His 2015/16 season made me a believer. Maybe we can put in a cheeky bid to Dortmund?

Honest question. What do you expect his conversation rate to realistically look like? Stikers miss and convert chances all the time. Maybe I might change my opinion later in the season but I'm yet to see a pattern.

10 goals this season and superb all round play. He's allowed to miss from time to time. He's not a cyborg. More importantly he's clearly better than Lukaku and Costa. His all round play is so much better and pleasing to the eye and he's just the most talented of those three. In this game he created a shot from himself from literally nothing that almost went in. Our best players are allowed leeway from time to time.

For anyone who missed the game

With the way some of our top players are playing at the moment , anything other than a comfortable win will be a letdown.

This. Hazard has been a better player than Neymar since the Brazilian came to Europe. I've seen Hazard play at a certain level in games that not even a great player like Neymar can reach. Hazard was clearly better in 2013/14, arguably in 2014/15. Was better in 2016/17 and this season as well. Also more consistent than Neymar. I go into games expecting Hazard to play at a high level in 90% of them. With Neymar it's more like 70-75%. It's just ridiculous how Neymar gets more praise with all the marketing, branding and entourage behind him. Eden on the other hand is a simple man off the pitch.

He's always had a poor motor. That's one huge red-flag I saw in his Monaco days. He's like the anti-Kante in that regard. When Fabregas is putting in more of a shift in midfield than you then you know there's a problem there.

He's now become a caricature of himself. Comical to watch him play football at this point.

Cold / hot balls in full effect.

We're not going to see a lot of the ball against Barcelona though. They could easily do to us what Man city did at Stamford Bridge. We're poor against high level possession based teams and Barcelona are epitomize that more than any other

We are the only English team to not finish at the top of our group. If Willian wasn't a terrible footballer and we finished 1st we could have had a much wider array of opponents for the Round of 16. Now it looks like its either PSG or Barcelona or Besiktas.

No way we get Besiktas. It's most likely PSG first or Barcelona. You know UEFA usually pairs the new money teams against each other early on

He looked a level above his teammates yet again. Hard to not get the feeling he's "outgrown" Chelsea when he's surrounded by players like Cahill, Willian, Bakaykoko and Zappacosta.

He looks like he doesn't even give a flying fuck anymore. He's just awful. It's not like he's bereft of talent but his application borders on the comical. SELL him next summer. I'm tired of the same shite every time.

Hazard far and away the best player on the pitch again. Even he won't be able to save us against better sides than Atletico. He won't see enough of the ball

The Willian comedy continues.

It looks like he's playing for Atletico Madrid tonight

Oh Willian you can't do anything right

Willian is a fucking fraud

Willian you son of a b***. HAHAAHAA. Sometimes you just have to laugh

Now this is the football I want to see. Insane from Hazard

And Cahill has been poor as well but that's predictable. He's not a player for this level. All in all we've out Atletico'd Madrid them so far. We don't even look interested in the game

Fabregas and Bakayoko have been poor

This has been a very poor 27 mins by us. Essentially done nothing but admire them. Poor with the ball, no pressing. Nothing so far

Marcos Alonso not starting is a risk since he's our only real LWB but its understandable. He needs a rest. Our boards' left us really thin in that position
