The Skipper

Let us not mention that we were losing in the one we drew 2-0 before he came on shall we... Let us blame all of our bad performances on Mikel. After all, us Chelsea fans always need a scapegoat...

Admit what? You didn't say that - you said Chelsea were mid table before Roman came, and the facts are that we weren't, I merely pointed that out. You need to articulate yourself better and stop acting so ignorant.

You don't need to help me at all. You need to help your ignorant self if you think CFC were mid-table before Roman came. Go look up our the final positions we finished in before Roman came. That is the most ignorant thing any Chelsea "fan" can say.

Congrats dude. You'll be just fine.

I'm probably a mixture between Donatello & Leonardo.

Many people on here, including I, have wanted Cavani over Falcao from day one.

The most complete striker.

I'm not that keen on Khedira tbh. He's a good DM for sure, but I seriously think an in form Mikel is just as good.

Homegrown, young, cheap(?), great technical ability, tactically sound, good potential, right type of player for our pivot... Would be an excellent squad player to buy, especially if we aren't resigning Lampard.

@The only place to be, congrats mate, long overdue! One of the standout members on the forum. Make sure you do the crown justice like I did.

This is ridiculous. LOOOL. You need to go and revise your CFC history. Mid-table before Roman came? Don't be stupid.

You must be reading a different forum, everyone here understands how vital it is for us to win this, people are just suggesting they'd rather have Arsenal in the top four than Tottenham - no one's saying we should roll over for Spurs... Obviously everyone's more interested in us securing top four...

Positioning is definitely one of his weaknesses but you're confusing positioning with his ability to go forward. Obviously he'll leave his CB partner alone if he drives forward with the ball - that has nothing to do with positioning. That picture is very misleading.

If you look at the replay Mata's shot was going wide before it hit Phil.

If we get in a proper winger then I see Oscar's future at the pivot.

I see his future in the pivot.

We must have Ramires and Mikel as our pivot.

Going to the Bridge for this one... Shed End Lower try and catch me by the corner flag! Can't wait I'm pumped! Lets have these cunts!

He won't blow his lid off if the referee does his job properly. It wasn't like he did it after 1 incident the referee didn't call. There were numerous ones, and all of our players were getting aggravated with the referee.

How in the hell can you compare that to Sergio Busquets incident? Wtf? Busquets didn't even get touched, and he was rolling around in pain pretending to be hurt. At least Luiz was man enough to not pretend he was hurt. Why the hell would he get banned? What Rafael did was cynical, it would've been a red card if Luiz didn't smile anyway, it is in NO way comparable to what Busquets did. My Liverpool and Arsenal mates are calling Luiz a legend for it. Were people calling Busquets a legend? Of course not!

Well, your own comment seemed black and white to me as well so I felt that I should say something about it. I don't think you can say for definite after Mikel hasn't played for 4 games that we play better without him. It isn't as black and white as that. We really aren't consistently above average whenever he doesn't play - we've played bad in games where Mikel hasn't played, and we've played bad in games he has. That's why I thought your comment was inappropriate.

Fair enough but if it happened the other way around I would be hounding Luiz for being stupid enough to kick out at a player.

We also had a run of games where Mikel started where we won games. You're daft if you think it's solely Mikel's fault that we were dropping points.

Nah, I don't think what Luiz did qualifies as rolling around. Rolling around to me is when a player pretends to be hurt and pretends he's in anguish. Luiz wasn't in anguish, he was laughing.

We won without Hazard too. Your point?
