Ossie the King

Maybe add Steve Holland to the poll since Guus sorta hinted that he should be in the mix. Take out that useless twat Emenalo perhaps.

For his inconsistency at the moment, Hazard owes more to Chelsea than the opposite really, along with all his team-mates, this generation will always owe a lot to the fans for what they have done in the last 6 months. 
It's not what you say, but you make it sound so, he holds os from a fall of mediocrity ? Oh please, we have been long successful without him and will be as ever when he leaves, and if he had been in the bracket of players you're implying he is in, we would be as successful with him in the team. 
We put in our best performance of the season without him this weekend eh, it's the old system that made us rely that much on him, with more freedom to Cesc, Willian and Pedro now, we are way less predictable. 

I'm glad we have Courtois but it's hard to watch Cech potentially lead Arsenal to their first title in the Abramovich era
Hopefully City go on a run and win the title.

Whatever... His body language says something completely different. Last year you could see him putting in the necessary effort in to make a difference, this season he looks like he can't be bothered. 
If you can tell me when you watch the games that he looks like he wants to die for the badge then I'll just chalk it up to seeing something different to me, but in your heart, when you watch him play what does it tell you? 
He looks like he doesn't give two shits.

The interesting thing about Costa is that in the last few weeks under Jose he was reportedly putting in more work to get fit and was apparently lighter than when we signed him, and it seems to have paid dividends. His movement has improved markedly in recent weeks and he's back amongst the goals. 
This is another bloke whose professionalism has been called into question and who came back from summer having overindulged perhaps, and he's responded perfectly.

It's been discussed openly for years. Every time his 'slow starts' or summer weight or his ability to be the best in the world comes up there's discussion of his professionalism.
 
 
Jose's always placed a lot of emphasis on players having fight, and there have been many who have talked about how much they love him. What this has even got to do with Jose I don't know but some seem to want to paint everything in that light. Maybe you're not aware of the chat about Hazard that's been going on for years and you've suddenly discovered it but it's really not got anything to do with Jose. Eden has apparently always had a fairly relaxed attitude to things like training.
What conspiracy theories? I'm not aware that I've alluded to any conspiracies, theories yes. Conspiracy theories, think you've typed the wrong thing there lad.
As for baseless accusations, wrong again. 

I very much agree and I do wonder what's actually going on at the club now. Football economics are by no means simple but both United and City have spent more money (NET) in just one season (City last summer and United the summer before) than we've spent over the last three seasons put together. This last summer we spent just £8 million (NET) more than Crystal Palace did.
I honestly don't know what to think of the guy anymore. Yes there's the great work with the new stadium and maybe he's been distracted but there's still a sour taste from when he tried to rig the CPO vote last time. I don't know if I trust the man or his vision going forward.

He also almost fucked up that 1st Chelsea team as well with the irrational and irresponsible sacking of Carlo Ancelotti.
Carlo gave him the entertaining Chelsea he wanted. He made us well liked. Instead of simply just backing the man in the window to breath life to an ageing squad.
He should thank god Didier , Petr and the other lads saved his ass and won him the Champions league.
The decision making process at this club is so elementary and backwards. It's sad, really. And what makes it sad is that it be so much better.
But, hey, it's not my money. Though it's my fucking club, and that's what pisses me right off!
I love the guy, but seriously, something has to change at boardroom level. Those who voted for Mourinho to come back and manage this "new Chelsea" , all of them need to be fired, and I mean that. Including that Russian woman he got from god knows fuck where.

Do have to admit, thought he would've burned out by now & gone back to in 2013-14 form. Glad he's proven me wrong and I hope he continues to keep developing.

Michael Emenalo and Maria Granovskia like this

Agree with that. His expression shows hes not 100% into it like last season. Shouldnt be written off, but something isnt right, 

Already corrected you on this once mate but it's been muttered about for quite a while amongst the supporters. Some just laugh off his 'slow starts' to the season but others take that one step further and ask why.
Don't misrepresent people's criticism as them turning their backs on them - maybe those supporters don't deserve you criticising them.

Like yesterdays result, I am not getting ahead of myself with that or Mikel, it's happened before, and we need a run of consistency from Mikel and the team before we start shouting from the roof.

Age and miles on the clock are a factor in that too. He's not 17 and a pup anymore, he's 25 in a few days with over 400 games under his belt.
Not long till he makes a groaning sound getting off the sofa.

Nothing to do with Jose. There is a correlation between fitness and injuries though, you're a young lad you must've had at least one PT session where that was made clear to you.
One might think if you can find cause for concern for a player's professionalism that it might bleed over into other areas. But you'll disagree so let's just enjoy the result today.

Exactly
 
 
It was brought up by people actually at the matches. Even on Twitter you had people commenting on it so I'm surprised you weren't aware.

He's getting older mate. Happens to everyone and now is the time he's got to start looking after himself. He's not quite at the Ricky Hatton stage of ballooning between fights but he does need to start watching how he prepares his body in my opinion.

Maybe add Steve Holland to the poll since Guus sorta hinted that he should be in the mix. Take out that useless twat Emenalo perhaps.

Bloody hell. Always amuses me that those with the 'little black book of people I like to moan about on the internet' are so quick to pounce.
The guy has been magnificent for us at times but as soon as his form drops, boom. 
What's happened today is the gauntlet has been thrown down and it's up to him to respond. Our squad isn't big enough to just sell people so unfortunately you have to just support them. Take a leaf out of the book of our wonderful travelling support today and enjoy the result ok lad?
