post match interview Eden, lol @ ''Yeah sometimes this guy can score a beautiful goal'' http://www1.skysports.com/watch/video/9544881/hazard-praises-oscar

Same lucky shit goal like Aston villa last year

A true Brazilian goal, nice one Oscar!

no surprises in the line up, just hope Cesc won't get his yellow.

Playing Cesc on 10 would reduce the chance to get a yellow. Matic-Rambo behind him to do the dirty work, bring Oscar for Cesc later when we're 2-0 up.

3 yellows

If we win against QPR, what would you rather have? - city-united draw (difference 8 and 12 points) - united win (difference 9 and 10 points)

Jose Mourinho's side sit four points clear at the top of the Premier League table and are unbeaten in all 14 games so far, something Hazard puts down to the relationship he has very quickly developed with Fabregas and Costa. Hazard said: "The time it takes to develop a relationship on the pitch depends on the guy. Sometimes it's quick, sometimes not. But it's easy for me to play with them because they understand football and are very good players. "We didn't need to train two years together, just one week was enough. They know when I move and I know when Costa and Fabregas move. It's a pleasure to play with them. "I don't know how much better this team can get - we will see. Now we are first in the table and I hope we can stay there until the end of the season. I hope we can win a lot of trophies this season, one, two or three. Why not https://www.clubcall.com/chelsea/hazard-reveals-silverware-ambition-1745798.html

Post this in the pub thread, we will help you if you're serious.

Add Ake to the long term list

David Luiz as a defensive midfielder. He was a monster, especially next to Matic. Both of them can attack and defend. ManCity away (0-1), Arsenal at home (6-0). It's a shame we can't see the trio of : cesc-matic-luiz in big games, we'd boss every midfield. His character and spirit in big games is also a thing what I miss about him, plus his penalties in shoot outs. He would have been one of the next captains (playing in midfield). But the price was too good to reject (£40-£50m). Hope we can find another player like him, for now I'm happy with Ramires with Mikel as a back up.

it would be a nightmare, I'd rather have Luiz back than this clown.

And Southampton is 1-0 up against Stoke, guess who scored?

Anyone else noticed the difference in schedule between us and City (and united)? We've played on Sunday and had to play yesterday, just 1 day of rest. City played Saturday and will play today, 3 days of rest. Also before all the matches against City, Arsenal, United and Liverpool we've had a CL match. While City only had 1 tough week. I find it very strange, add to this the refereeing against us like last Sunday...

Yeps, an old player (I guess Zlatan?) recently said that Mou is the smartest manager in the business because he treats/motivates everyone in a different way. I remember a quote in his book" I scored the goal of the season and couldn't catch a smile on the face of Jose, so I knew I had to do more to convince him." He motivates every person in a different way. For example, Ramires/Oscar are very shy/introvert persons (from what I've heard), that's why Mou have not criticized them in public. Schurrle looks like that kind of person with a small ego and a little bit extrovert (based on his social media). He might need these hard words to perform better.

Agreed, if I'm not wrong, Ake has already played more minutes than last season. Solanke and Christensen already had their debutes, Izzy traveled to OT and was on the bench last night. Don't forget Zouma, he's also still very young. Baker his time will come, I think Mou planned to give him minutes against Bolton and Shrewsbury if we could go up 2-0/3-0 but in both matches this didn't happen. Against Bolton yes, but then we suddenly conceded the 2-1 when he was about to make his debut.

I think so, from 2004-2008 he was at United. He was 16/17 when he joined them in 2004.

Mou recently said in an interview that he criticize his players in public to motivate them, some players needs this. Schurrle hasn't been impressive since the start, except for 1-2 moments. So I think it's good to criticize him, he also looks like a person who needs this kind of treatment.

Our 6 games in November: QPR (h) Maribor (a) Liverpool (a) (Intn'l break) West brom (h) Schalke (a) Sunderland (a)

We are linked with Pique for £24m, hope it is a joke. http://metro.co.uk/2014/10/29/chelsea-line-up-barcelonas-gerard-pique-as-long-term-john-terry-replacement-4926156/

I was more talking about our strongest line up facing strong sides in Europe. In smaller games I like Oscar too but in big games I don't think Oscar and Cesc should start together. Ramires (or another great b2b) is a must and so is Cesc. I don't want to speak about potential because that is all speculation, you never know how a player will develop. In this moment Willian is better than Oscar.

Nothing wrong with the length of your posts btw, just said it because it is your trademark. Same goes for you, if you really can't stand those people, just ignore them then.
