Allegri fields two players upfront, but what good is it for when he puts all of his players behind the ball for most of the time? There were times yesterday when all of his players including the two strikers were in the box to defend... Mourinho would have been slaughtered for doing the exact thing. I don't have a problem with getting Allegri, but the moaning will be sky high when we play this way...?

better than hazard, just like 2012 when he showed him how it's done in the UCL! Hope the club can convince him to extend his contract, he is entitled to 120.000.

Pellegrini: He's an embarrassment to the game, not only throwing the towel but advising the fans not to go. His attitude stinks, really getting the hopes up of the kids, is he? But, according to some fans and the legend of Emenalo; he is the perfect man for the Chelsea job, proper Chels'. Let's see whether Hazard can man up against the 'kids'.

His off the ball movement is good, he can be very difficult to play against. On his good days he offers goals, his shooting technique is quite good, imo. He has to work on a lot of things, not denying it, but he is under contract and clearly wants to stay here, we could do worse than having him on the bench. There are so many problems within the squad, i for one would leave Oscar alone, at least for now.

Even more weird is what has already started: ManUnited fans defending Jose and his antics, over the years most of them mocked him, but that's gone. World's changing quickly these days.

Mascherano:

he's friends with Drogba!

bring him back in the summer! he is proper Chels!

20 mio, you're having a laugh. PSG are desperate to show him the door now, give them a few bucks, i don't see how they'll make 20.

Keane: Hoddle: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3452082/Roy-Keane-slams-Chelsea-midfielder-Eden-Hazard-saying-team-mate-d-kick-air-training-pitch.html Finally the pundits are talking some sense here. Good job!

Absolute shocker, unbelievable! This can't get any worse! What is Zidane telling these players? Crime against football so far, can't believe that these 'superstars' play this way. What the hell is wrong with them? Not up to delivering a 5 meter pass?! Yesterday Chelsea as well as PSG played on a different level, hell that was a different sport!

Send it to the United board, i think you have figured Jose out, good job.

The FSW has to analyse Zidane's team, you couldn't make it up... Live on BT Sport, hope Roma are up for the job, destroy the so-called Galacticos, please!

I wouldn't boo him in the stadium and i still defend him in public. But i wouldn't buy his shirt anymore, for me that ship sailed some time ago, I'm just talking about the positive and negative things in today's game in an anonymous Chelsea community. For me the talking is done on the pitch, i hope that Hazard can still walk the talk. We'll find out soon enough! I get where you're coming from, you seem to have an unbreakable faith and real class, i respect that! Regards!

More than once Hazard got dispossessed in a very dangerous area, too much dribbling, should have better looked out for the pass instead of taking unnecessary risks, imo. This reckless behaviour could have easily resulted in a goal against us! Remember last season when Bernat fucked it up for Bayern Munich against the Cules! But i have to give Hazard some credit, in my view there was some good stuff too. It happened higher up the pitch, he made some fancy dribblings, sometimes he was unstoppable. In my opinion in the end of the day it's all about what Hazard really wants. If he wants out, it's difficult to force him to stay and expect world class performances, some people complained about how Martinez didn't let go of Stones, it would be hypocritical if Hazard is denied the transfer, imo.

I trust Guus on this. The Dutch has suprised me so far, he will field a team which is fully competitive! Oscar or Pedro, Guus got this! I spoke with some French dudes, they all have one thing in common: fear because of Diego Costa! We need an away goal, i'm confident that well get the job done! maybe the best time of the year, thrill of anticipation kicking in, buzzing! Hit them hard!

Love your enthusiasm, you should put that in a PSG community too.

What are you on about? Long before we played half of our games the mob was already calling for Jose's head, if i remember correctly, according to some Jose was the cancer. He is the devil, he has destroyed everything, Pep is the savior. I haven't seen anyone in here who insulted Eden that badly, some people are annoyed because of this performances and more importantly his lack of enthusiasm, imo. His interview isn't helping his case, imo. Especially when it's before our most important game so far, imo.

If Hazard wants out, we shouldn't stand in his way, what happens when his 'mood' isn't right is clear to see so far, imo. Former stories about him leaving the stadium and going to eat burgers strengthen my view on his 'professionalism' . Maybe i'm plain wrong, but this Hazard bloke looks like a kid who has won the lottery, yes, it could be the case that i'm too harsh on him,because maybe in his situation i would act the same way. Once he said: 'I'm signing for the champion's league winner'; Perhaps he isn't here to reinvent the wheel and doesn't want to make any sacrifices because of Chelsea FC. It could be the case that he just wants a nice and comfy atmosphere around him, some 'big' trophies in the cupboard and enjoy living life with his family and friends. I think other clubs could offer a better package than Chelsea. Before the boys in blue come calling and trying to stick it to me with the fickle nature of football fans... in contrast to a guy like Costa who made some huge mistakes, Hazard never ever worked his socks off this season, imo, from the beginning of the season, something has changed... Maybe he was hurt, maybe not, i think his decisions to leave the pitch were the easy way out. I sincerely hope that he's pulling off some magic against PSG, we're in desperate need of a Hazard masterclass. This team still relies on him, imo, but next season with a good preseason, a departure wouldn't set us back for years, we could play differently. I'm grateful for what Hazard has done for our beloved club, i wish him well, even if he goes... But in my point of view, he isn't irreplaceable and i could settle for a guy with lower quality but more enthusiasm. That doesn't mean that we're doing a Liverpool, imo.

I've read this a lot in here, but there are some people out there whose mind won't change that easily. Just because some of the players decided after a big holiday to actual give fuck doesn't mean it's all rosy. The Premier-League competition is fucked, there is no coming back from, everyone has to let that sink in! Fixing an error will get you some praise, in my view that's reasonable, but that's it, if you would like to get more, you have to do it consistently.

But he did say this too: I have my problems with Hazard, he isn't doing his job properly, he is one of the main reasons why we are in this mess, imo. But in my point of view the interview is okay, he is chatting with a French reporter, of course he is not going to talk shit about their team. Maybe Hazard will leave, maybe not, the season isn't over yet, having a go at the UCL trophy would make up for a lot of things, imo.

What a penalty by Leo Messi, he did what Henry couldn't.

Scousers scoring for fun, demolition job. Absolute shit from Aston Villa.

Brilliant header, what a game. Now meltdown in the cafe...
