Before that collision his movement and pasing were top notch, it has to be said. Absoultely shocking, how that is not a penalty, a card, or anything for that matter. So If I knock out cold someone like that, and am a goalkeeper, I wouldn't be punished, so I can do it all the time. SHOCKING decision, to say the least. Thank God, he hit him only in the face. Had it been in the side of his head, we'd be fearing for his life now. Get well soon, Oscar!

I personally am against it, because: 1. We need a world class position filler, not a decent talent. I am not saying he can't develop, but considering we can bring a done and dusted midfielder, in the like of Koke/Pogba/Isco, signing this guy would make 0 sense. 2. Ruben. ^ Imbulla may be more Chelsea ready than our young CM, but to be honest, when are we going to have a chance of developing a young midfielder, if not now, when we will probably ship - out one or two midfielders and he will have the opportunity to get minutes. Imbulla wouldn't be a gamechanger. He can't take us to the next level in CL. The first three can.

Jason said it on twitter. Everybody's memory has been wiped clean of how we bossed the league first 5 months, while other teams were struggling. Now when we don't have our main goalscorers, when we are forced to play a, to be fair, exhausted and bad Didier, who doesn't offer much, and we are still grinding out results and winning, we suddenly don't deserve the league. Who does then?

There was this one guy, who said that we don't deserve the title, because we always went to play for 0-0, every match. I'm crying.

Was great in the first half when playing LW/CAM. Dissapeared in the 2nd mainly because he burned a lot of stamina, and played on the right wing. I think he has the potential, but he has to make that CAM spot his own and switch with Hazard. He is great when the ball is played in his path and he has to run for it and cross or pass, but he can take players on, by cutting inside. I'd be really pissed at Ramires if I gave him such a nice pass. ?

Players like Isco do come rarely at a cheap price. I'll compare him to Ozil and why I'd prefer him, in this line - up, rather than the German. Isco has a lot more workrate and an ability to learn more. I think Mourinho handling him would make him even better. As I've said, he's energetic, faster than Ozil, with a good amount of vision, but what differs him, is that he can fasten play with pace, trickery and ability to pass the ball good. I don't know, I'd prefer him, compared to lethargic AMC's, who need time on the ball in which we'd need possesion based football. For 30 - 40 milion is absolutely perfect.

He is a creative player with vision, so it is natural. I believe he'd do good. I was watching the Atletico game and he seems to have shit loads of stamina and wants to be everywhere. James was the same. I think that's why the ripped Atletico so much. Unlike Bale who mostly looks for balls on the wing and doesn't track back. I remember Isco making one or two perfect slyding tackles. Obviously he was doing that to impress Ancelotti, BUT we know that Mourinho can influence a player to give it his all, and considering I have a crush on him ever since Malaga and those keepy-ups against Valencia, I'd take him in a heart beat. Only thing that bothers me, is if Jose is willing to play him, Fabregas and Matic. Hopefully, yes. I don't see many teams needing Isco, a part from us, to be fair. Who else needs him? Maybe just PSG.

Not this again.

John Obi Mikel has is averaging a 92 %, does that mean he is better? Stats isn't everything, mate.

Does anybody here watch the Liga BBVA regularly, as much as supporter does? No. As far as the game goes yesterday, everything interesting for Atletico was from him. It was like expecting to see something big from Fabregas when we are mostly defending. People like Gilvorak always want just goals and stats. Football consists of 11 player contributing in their own way, hence why, players like Ramires don't shine, but do so much work for the experts. Same goes for Oscar to be fair, when on form.

Curses! Atleast Jake Cohen said his wages and finances are off the books after this year. Thank God. 16 milion a year...

Problem is, this time FFP is working with full power. So they need to figure out a way to produce big income.

He isn't shit, but he isn't that good either. He is a technical version of Cahill, or to put it basically, the kind of defender that needs a leader next to him. To tell him what to do, where to go. He doesn't have a big footballing brain, hence why when leading a line falls on his shoulders he fails, most of the time. When Silva/ Terry is/was next to him, he was great, not perfect, but great and I think Mourinho saw the opportunity, to get a great sum of money, for a player he could easily replace.

TC never ceases to amaze. I remember back when Diego Costa was a shit player for not being able to score for Spain. Oh and when David Luiz was too expensive and we should have gotten...Simon Kjaer. Victor Moses was a better option than a couple of other players, because he was HG.

Given the fact, where he came from, the fee he came for and his career progress till' that moment, I can honestly say Gary Cahill has grown to be a solid defender, and his dip in form was the only thing that stopped me from saying it a while back. The only minus he has is that he realises he doesn't have the pace to keep up with faster players and often backs off, so they can't dribble past him, which may result in worse situations(N'Zonzi's shot at the post being the example that sprung to mind). I like Gazza, even though I'd prefer Zouma to start getting more game time.

Grass is always greener on the other end. Where do goals come from in other teams, take away Bayern, Real and Barca? Juve - Tevez/Morata Arsenal - Alexis/ Giroud United - Rooney PSG - Cavani/Ibra and so on. We can't have a goalscorer on every position, don't be so fickle. Every player contributes to the phase of play, and even if someone is injured, if the phase of play is executed right, then someone else will score, doesn't matter. Just because we have slumped and Eden is pulling goals left, right and centre, doesn't mean Oscar, Willi, Fabregas and our deffenders from set pieces can't get goals.

I respect your opinion and to be fair I realize what you mean. But by all means this IS a competitive sport. Competition makes this sport what it is, and nearly everybody would love to get trophies by any means necessary and that even includes cheating in certain situations. History may remember these days, but that is based also on the fact of the players that were playing at that team, who achieved so many big things at club/country level(Cruyff at Barca, Van Basten at Milan respectively) and managed to NOT do so at the other. I don't think it's mutually exclusive, I just firmly believe, that with this manager, and even with Klopp, Simeone, Guardiola(God forbid) or whoever, there would still be a tactical asset in his mind when and IF managing Chelsea, rather than just go all - out attractive. I don't remember who said it, but it was well said, titles are won against the small teams. And let's be honest, you have to really hate Mourinho, if you actually deny that we went on to control and beat nearly every team in the first half of the season, and partially in the second. We've dropped form, yes. We've played more hasty, more tactical, allowing the opponent to control the ball more than we maybe, should, YES. That doesn't mean, we don't and we can't play attractive, and that we don't deserve titles and wins. By the way you are saying, it sounds like we haven't played one good attacking match and our whole season is based on tactical awareness and counter-attacking football, which I personally, don't believe is the whole story. Cheers.

Is u mad...OR NAH?

SOLANKE WITH THE SINGLE GOAL, AFTER OUR ONLY SHOT ON GOAL, IN HIS ONLY START, WITH ONLY 15% POSSESION. GET IN.

So, you care more about being a morale winner , rather than a real winner? Because, as far as my knowledge is spread, that every single footballer on the Earth, would give their right arm to win a title in any means possible, rather than running the oposition ragged, only to miss a couple of chances and lose it at the end. Morale wins are for people who don't have a winning mentality. If you can accept a loss, then that is pathetic, because no one remembers number 2, EVEN if you are fucking amazing like, say, Brazil 2002.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3044817/Liverpool-forward-Raheem-Sterling-buy-year-contract-leaving-Chelsea-Manchester-City-make-cut-price-25m-offer-summer.html If this is true, bare in mind it's the Mail, then he should be considered a priority. HG, talented(rather than most of the English players, AVAILABLE for normal fees). I firmly believe he can add something more to the team, just needs Jose to mentor him a bit in the right way,...and teach him to track back, ofcourse.

Yeah, maybe. But still, I think overall he is losing the ability to keep up with players, hence why I believe we need a new full - back.

Unless we move him to #10, playing as the so - called Shadow Striker, I don't think we'll get him. lol

Credit where it's due. He played good when he was needed. Still, the lack of pace killed him twice. One time the defence covered him, the other Rooney missed. I think he is loosing pace, and if we are to bring him back to CB would be better. In the end, Mourinho has a reason and I'm the last person to critise that.

I am going to cry. Comparisions to strikers and how Eden actually never played in an attacking team. You lot, I don't care, and I am sorry to say it, are a disgrace. You don't have the eyes to get real joy, of the goal he scored, of the way he plays, instead, complain about the football, about whether he is , or he is not the third best player in the world, whether he finishes like Messi or like my grandma, whether he touches his balls, or anything useless like that. I actually feel sorry for most of the old fans here, who have seen Chels past 2002, when our team had a bare sniff at trophies and when having a player like Eden Hazard came with a scenario of Chelsea being the stepping stone in his career, not his club to take to glory. I feel sorry for you, and yes honestly I do, and even though I waste too much time to rant, about something that will go by so easy, but the fickleness here is just out of this world. FUCKIN' HELL, do you realise clubs like Parma, like Liverpool, like Newcastle, Blackburn, clubs who have been consistent throghout the years, what they are suffering, and the fans they have are three times as passionate as most Chelsea fans are? You know why, because they know where the club is right now, and know that they have to get behind it. I honestly can't believe some comments here, sorry if this came too harsh.
