TLaw10

Anybody have a good stream site for this game? Sorry if this isn't the place for this but I thought I'd ask

I bought a yellow Diego Costa jersey today! Beastmode!

Anybody notice Costa favoring his hamstring at all? I didn't see much, just curious. Hopefully this break will be ample time to get right cause he's in "Beast Mode" right now!

Man what a fun match! Living in America I had to wake up extra early today to watch Man U draw and City lose at home! How sweet it was to jump out to a quick lead. A roller coaster game had my emotions all over the place. Costa is the real deal, he isn't quick or fast necessarily, but he is silky smooth and super smart on the pitch. He operates so intelligently in space, with the uncanny ability to finish with ease. At 25 he could really become a Chelsea legend if he continues at this pace. Great game, can't wait til Swansea!!

that was quick!! thanks

When I signed up I used TLaw10 and must if messed up so I resigned up with my other email only to see my username was gone, lol. Can I get my username changed to TLaw10 please? Thanks in advance

I've already used the word "we" referring to the club to my wife so I guess I'm slowly coming around. Mainly I meant I'm unbiased by past seasons since I didn't watch the past. I've been trying to watch older matches on YouTube when I get the chance though

As a newer fan I have a very unbiased opinion on a lot of players. I must say Ivanovic is one of my favorite players for his passion alone. He's shown great fire on the pitch and his offensive production from a defender is top notch. His attitude stands out to me as a big positive on this club. Very impressed so far

I keep reading they are paying 46, am I missing something? Seems the numbers are all over the place

I really like his attitude when he grabs the ball, it's like he is telling the opposition to get out of the f-in way, I'm going to start a fast break with a perfect throw, lol. His vision for the counter attack is underrated

It was on nbcsn on Directv for me. I had to wake up before 7 to watch it, lol. the torrent is on piratebay if you want to get it that way

I was a little worried after the sluggish start, but once they woke up they really put a lot of pressure on the opposition. I thought Oscar really performed well and made some nice through balls. Courtois was solid and really saved the day with that one on one. I really like how he plucks the ball out of the air and is immediately looking for an outlet to push the pace. Hazard took awhile before he got anything going but once he found his rhythm he really put some good touches and attacks in motion. I thought Costa up until his goal was having a down game, seemed to really give the ball away numerous times. The good thing about him is he has amnesia and is a killer in front of the net. Overall i was excited that the team didnt let one go, got 3 points and showed that when they turn it on they can dominate. Now if we can play two halfs that way is the next step

From the sound of Jose I think he's happy with the squad he has put together. WHile some of the young guys haven't been in top form for CHelsea, is it better to replace a young player before he becomes elite or let him become elite in a system that he grows in? I think there is always going to be a better option on paper to throw money at, but sometimes the best option is to put your trust in your own players and they might reward that confidence with great play. As long as you build a solid core you can fill in around that core with role players and build champion. Just some thoughts though....

Ya most people i know think there is a line between american football and football(or soccer as most here refer to it). I played both growing up and can't see why both sports can't flourish. I will say that with all the concussions and injuries there are a lot of parents steering their kids away from American football. In my area there is a lot of youth programs and travel teams for soccer(football) but they need to get out there in the bigger cities. Just watching the World Cup shows you how far the US has to go to even compete on a World Stage. The MLS has at least started the trend, i just hope more kids give it a try. WHile ive always loved the sport i'm finding myself intrigued and fascinated with the transfer/loan/squad building aspect of the professional side of the game. Not many Americans even understand the whole process and are lost when trying to follow global football.

He definitely fits the bill size wise that Jose seems to prefer

I'm excited to add a young promising striker that can cover us in the case we lose Costa or just need to rest him. Unloading Torres seems to be the key

Nice to meet ya Kevin, glad to see American football is spreading world wide!

Ya I'm about 5.5 hours north of SF right next to the ocean. Big Seahawks fan so u can understand my Niner love, lol. Thanks for the welcome, I'm really excited about this season. I just rewatched the Real Sociedad game cause I can't get enough!

Despite your Niner love I love American Chelsea fans,

I totally get the diehard attitudes of disdain for American bandwagoners. That's why I'm trying to understand the fans and the team from all perspectives. You have to start somewhere and sometime and I hope to learn and cheer with you lifers. I did see that the Sours signed Yedlin after visiting Seattle( i've been to a few Sounder games), but there's just something about the Blues that got me

thanks for the warm welcome, this place is cool!

After watching that video of his highlights at Burnley you truly understand the wizardry Hazard possesses. Dude is a magician, lock him up!!

I was impressed with him in the first game, he almost scored after that deflection early in the game as well. He's lanky and has good speed. I think he slowed down in the second half but he should get more fit as the season continues. I agree that the addition of Cesc will benefit Schürrle a lot as he has that special ability to find open space and knife through for incredible runs. He's definitely an ascending player that should be around for a long time.

Who goes to the bench if we get Benatia? Terry? I think this would be a huge move for the future, just hoping it doesn't hurt team chemistry for this season

Watching Eden with the ball is amazing, it's like he has a second gear yet the ball is in control. I have noticed that he can get cute and make some trick type plays but with his talent I guess letting him be free to create is best. As a new fan I really am drawn to his skills and personality
