Nonsense absolute nonsense. He wouldn't start for either Bayern or Barca.

Dropped by Del Bosque. Smart from him.

If Bayern had all their players fit he'd be on the bench simple. He isn't better than any of Robben, Lewandowski or Ribery.

Neymar wouldn't start for Bayern either then. He doesn't whip in crosses lol. Lewandowski is scoring at an high rate because he's a World Class striker (better than Costa for that matter) that's in his form of his life not because of Douglas Costa who's only assisted like 1 or 2 of his goals this season. Muller is an automatic starter because he can play every position which is highly beneficial considering they have so many injury prone players. If Bayern had a fully fit squad and were playing Barcelona tomorrow he'd be on the bench.

Except his Madrid side were never great defensively. He's never been able to get the balance right like Guardiola.

Lol he'd start ahead of James, Muller and Costa easily. Get outta here. A kid like Coman has already gone up a level just by playing in that Bayern team (same as Costa) but Eden wouldn't get a sniff?

You need movement, one touch passing, possession and overlapping fullbacks to bring the most out of Hazard. He's carried Mourinho's shit offense these past 2 seasons, cut him some slack. As he eloquently said 2 seasons ago "we're not made to play football at Chelsea". It speaks volumes of his individual talent that's even thrived at Chelsea. The likes of Cuadrado, Mata, Salah, De Bruyne, Willian, Oscar, Schurrle have all failed really. I hope he gets a chance to play under a top coach before he retires, he'd make magic under Pep for example.

Ancelotti had no problems throwing Carvajal into the first team after having a similar season to Rahman over at Leverkusen. You're telling me the likes of Bellerin & Shaw can start in the PL no problems but Baba is the mentally fragile & frail defender that needs to be handled with the utmost care? He's a far better player than Ivanovic, play him. Stop making excuses for Mourinho. He's just a coward that will always play his favourites no matter what.

People are still blaming the players. We're currently battling relegation not on the fringes of Top 4.

Hazard barely touched the ball once he came on, Porto had the bulk of possession.

I'll remind you of this post when he's playing in a proper system with genuine World Class players in Spain.

Yeah because we were so creative without him on the pitch. Fact is we actually had a midfield out there with him on the pitch.

Why the fuck was he taken off again?

Thought this was his best ever game for us if you exclude goals. Didn't deserve to be on the losing side.

It's been that way since January last year. Hazard & Terry being in sensational form just papered over the cracks.

Complain all you want about Ivanvoic but he'll be in the starting lineup next week. @CHOLOU19 is convinced Rahman is even worse after his grand total of 2 appearances.

Someone explain to me why he took Mikel off please. They completely battered us as soon as he was subbed. Haven't seen a period of play that one-sided in quite some time.

Dropping both Hazard and Matic were the correct decisions. Matic because he's been terrible, Hazard because he needs the motivation, he's our system & he hasn't been producing. Problem is Ivanovic somehow manages to keep his place in the team despite being the worst defender in the League so how can he possibly justify his team selection?

He's so poor it's laughable watching him atm. By far the most overrated player in this Chelsea team.

Cesc was decent. The main problem in our team are the two Serbs.

De Bruyne is purely a final 3rd player. Rarely participates in the build up. Needs to be played on the wing.

Given City are playing against Spurs away this is a great chance to potentially close the gap to just 5 points despite our horrendous start.

Off target? It was heading into the top corner

Fair enough.

That pass was Fabregas esque. Very good performance tonight, why Jose felt the need to bring him off early bewilders me. Just give him the 90 on one of his rare starts.
