Speaking of Kante, his replacement at Leicester, Ahmed Musa scored a brilliant brace against Barca earlier today.
If they Leicester had the two of them together this season, it wouldn't have been unrealistic for them to successfully defend their title.
 
 

Small side note to pre season. One of Joses assistants, Jose Morais is back with the group after a one year sabbatical coaching.

Guarantee you won't regret watching that video. I miss him so bad
People claim his peak was under Mourinho in his first spell but personally as an all around player it was under Scolari/Hiddink/Carlo. Absolute joy to watch from 08-10

Precisely.
Was...
Drogba
Bertrand - Mata - Kalou
...good enough to win the CL?
Yes it fucking was.

I like how you're using any excuse to discount the importance of those goals.

I know he's made plenty mistakes for us but the guy always gave everything for the shirt and never said a sour word about us after he left. On top of that we've made significant profit. Maybe some of us need to tone it down with the disrespect.

Couldn't agree more. If every player had the heart of Luiz, we'd be unstoppable. He was an absolute gentleman on and of the field.

lukaku didn't cech himself before he wrecked himself

You must' have been watching a different game. He was brilliant and did his job perfect while Matic was marauding forward. Misplaced a couple of passes but harassed Evertons midfield and had a few key interceptions which started our counters.
Great game by ramires. Nice to have him back. Fought like a bulldog just a shame that he got a needless yellow.

Like Mourinho said, OUR RAMIRES IS BACK!!!

Biblical performance.

Absolutely loved how excited he was after the goal. https://gfycat.com/ColorfulBrokenIcelandichorse

Didi deserves an Oscar for that performance best acting I've seen since Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood

...good enough for Chelsea.
What a load. If anything, the precedent at this club is that hard work beats talent, when talent fails to work hard. We are amidst a generational bridge that proved itself year after year with squads forged in discipline and mental fortitude, that an over abundance of quality can take the backseat when a bit of grit and elbow grease is required to win games.
Leave the "good enough" moniker for clubs like Real and United whose players are perpetually hidden in the shadows cast by their past legends. Where the whole will always be greater than the sum of its parts.
This boy is willing to kill lions to make this club better. Here, the future is made with reverence towards achieving success through focus and work, and evident solely on the pitch. Not an immeasurable value of "enough for Chelsea." That's a sentiment. Leave sentiment for Wenger. And let's measure at the end.

What a shower of shit these last few pages.
Hopefully, he'll start a scoring spree in the games coming up. The way he's been playing lately deserves praise all around the world. An immense player we've got on our hands.

Plus bonus video interview of Mourinho and Costa pre-Liverpool :

"I wasn't educated in an academy ... I learned on the streets. I like to win. I hate to lose."

Don't quit your day job

Now I know how Salah got out of Egyptian military service, his shooting is fucking awful.

Ryan Bertand on Drogba:
Drogba really is an amazing person
