The Skipper

Oscar has lost his ability to do anything in the final third.

Blindsmen.

Torres has been so bad today, wow.

Matic has been so good.

Ask yourself, who got us into this position to begin with?

Yes! Let's sack Mourinho if we don't win the title!

I can see where you're coming from, and do agree that sometimes people overstate Matic's performances, but the guy has been good since he's come in. I do agree that his best performance was definitely against City, but he has had other great games i.e. the 3-0 against Newcastle, where he was just a beast defensively (made like 11 tackles and 6 interceptions or something crazy like that). Your Romeu analogy is interesting because I agree that the kid was overrated a lot because he was the new kid on the block, but his impact on the team wasn't as great as Matic's - Matic has definitely helped solidify a weak part of our team and because of that he'll definitely be part of the reason as to why we win (if we do) the PL. IMO though Hazard's form will mainly decide that. Again, I do get what you're saying and do agree with certain points, but Matic is being praised more so because he's been good, not mainly because he's a newcomer like Romeu (whom I still think is vastly overrated by quite a few on here).

You don't want "a cunt" like Costa or Balotelli but you want Suarez?

I've said it before but this guy would be one of the best number 2 strikers in the league, his impact off the bench is absolutely devastating. He's going to be an important player for us in that aspect next season.

Exactly my point... Cole was very talented, but Hazard is an elite talent, and that's why he gets in the team over Cole for me. If Hazard had the chance to play with a prime Lampard, Drogba and Robben etc. he would've definitely done better than Cole simply because he is the better footballer.

I don't think this is true at all, Essien had his best games for us when he wasn't playing as a DM but as a B2B CM, where I used to think he was the best CM in the world at the time.

Personally my team would probably be this: Cech Essien - Carvalho - Terry - Cole Makelele Ballack - Lampard Robben - Drogba - Hazard I know Essien is not a RB but I want both him and Ballack in the team. However, if I had to chose between the two it'd probably be Essien.

Why? Cole was never as talented as Eden. I think the front three of Hazard - Drogba - Robben is definitely the strongest one we'd have.

I feel like you haven't watched players like Mineiro, Ben Haim or Steve Sidwell play for Chelsea. Now those are terrible players for Chelsea standards. Demba Ba is atleast decent enough to be a squad player here.

He isn't a terrible player. Yes, he isn't good enough to be a striker at a club like Chelsea but that doesn't mean he's terrible. He's scored some good goals here, against top teams, that should tell you he isn't "terrible". He's a decent player, nothing more, nothing less.

If City drop points, beating Villa would be a huge psychological win for us, and I would for the first time call us favourites.

RLC is more of a 6 to me. Maybe Baker if he makes it.

Interesting. Would be nice for Ash I guess, if true.

Brilliant.

I actually find this hilarious.

Oscar or Hazard are the only choices right now.

When the player is on loan to another European club it's up to the clubs to decide that, but domestically (in England anyway) it isn't allowed.

Maybe Balotelli. Realistically I think it's between those two right now.

Kid has a bright future, one of my favourites in the youth academy at the moment. Proper technical centre forward. If he continues his development like this I think he'll make it here.

Says the idiot that said this:
