  1. Well this is a no-brainer. DC19 every day of the week.
  2. I stopped reading when he said Oscar was good against Villa.
  3. Hazard has reached the stage where sometimes his performances are the only enjoyable thing about our games for me.
  4. Just trolling! Seriously I'm not even going to talk about Oscar any more, I've already shared my thoughts on him several times. I'm sure people are bored of me already.
  5. But Oscar scored some goals a few months ago...and in consecutive games no less! That means he's exempt from any criticism whatsoever.

  7. Willian was amazing in the second half. He was involved in a lot of our best moves. Some of his dribbling and passing in the build-up of moves was superb. Loved the Brazil and Chelsea flag combo too
  8. That's exactly the point though: we didn't play particularly well and were outplayed in the first half (in he second half we more than held our own) and yet I still didn't think there was any need for Oscar. I couldn't think of a single thing he could bring to the mix to help tip the balance in our favour; if anything he would have made things worse.
  9. Yeah, I noticed that too. I think Cuadrado has made some very good runs from out to in when he has played which could help with that - he made another good one today but the ball to him by Hazard was underhit.
  10. I take no pleasure in saying this but Oscar was not missed today at all. Not once during the game did I think to myself 'why didn't Oscar start' or 'bring Oscar on' and considering how poor we were for most of the first half that says a lot. Oscar is the most expendable starter/player in the team. Honestly, if there is a market for him he should be sold.
  11. Was he doing that at Atletico? Maybe it's a tactical instruction as opposed to something he actively wants to do. Costa isn't going to cut in from the left and spank one into the top corner from 25 yards but he isn't as bad on the ball as people make out in my honest opinion.
  12. The first time the midfield kept the ball and fed him the ball in a good position he did what he does. Like I said, I'm not worried about Costa. If he was missing chances galore then I would be but in some games he barely gets a sniff because he has nothing to work with.
  13. The greatest goalkeeper in the club's history and Courtois and whoever else will have to be absolutely amazing for a long period of time to even get close to Cech's standing. An absolute legend.
  14. Excellent day. First was woeful; we made Tottenham look far better than they are but after conceding 5 to these clowns not that long ago I can understand the desire to keep it tight (even if I think we showed them far too much respect). My MOTM is Zouma, easily. He is 19, playing out of position in a final. The pressure was huge but he grew into the game and in the second half he was maginificent. The kid is an absolute star and I look forward to seeing him in the team for the next 15 years. Legend in the making.
  15. Zouma has had a much better second half and he's made some excellent passes too.
  16. There has to be something going on if players of that quality can't do that more often against the better teams. I honestly believe Mourinho drills so much negative energy into them by overloading them with tactical information the players end up being afraid to take risks.
  17. The first time in the game we kept the ball well and moved them around results in a goal. Imagine we tried to do that more often.
  18. I think what happens is we're so poor with the ball that we just end up parking the bus/playing negatively by default. We are arguably the worst 'big' team with regards to possession / keeping the ball under pressure. It's embarrassing at times to be honest.
  19. Please don't try and sit on this lead for the ENTIRE second half because we know what happens.
  20. And Chadli seems to have the beating of Ivanovic.
  21. This is so fucking frustrating, man. I hate the way we play football against good teams.
  22. Tottenham looking better in possession and are able to keep the ball in our half far better than we are in their's.
