Pogba doesn't defend for Juve because he isn't asked to defend. Similar to how in some matches Jose let's Hazard just attack, which doesn't mean he can't defend when asked. Pogba is so highly rated because he has the ability to be any type of midfielder. If Jose asks him to defend and teaches him the tactics and the fundamentals, he'll be perfectly fine. I'd be worried if he lacked the ability, which I don't think he does. Just because you don't see it every match he plays, doesn't mean he can't do it.

I'd have given to Pearson myself too. I mean Leicester got pretty much half their entire wins of the season in April. Dragged themselves out of relegation. Jose loses out on these because they expect him (Chelsea) to win pretty much every match. So even if he goes unbeaten in the league, they'll say yeah it's Jose, what do you expect? Jose will win manager of the season though, easily.

Would love Benteke, a perfect complement to Costa. Monster in the air and with his back to goal.

Considering his age and talent, no price is too much to be honest. Let's say we pay 60M now and in a few years want to sell him. We can still get 60M for him because he'll still be in his prime.

Good guy Willian.

Any Chelsea TV stream? Would love to see the celebrations.

The objective has been cleared explained by Jose. And it's to play a proactive passing fluent football, which we were in the beginning of the season. And in that system, which Jose wants, Cesc shines. Now if we're going to play reactive counter attacking, he isn't the best option. As witnessed by his drop in performances. Yeah he might be fitting in RIGHT NOW but the objective is not to play this way all the time. Jose is still building this team. We've played good football for longer periods than last season and I expect it to increase next season and so on.

How do you know who they voted for?

I'm not sure who is at fault, our medical team, or the FA doctor and the referee, but Oscar should not have been allowed to continue.

Was shit today. Could have done much better, didn't look like he was entirely focused.

Great interview with Sky. Add it to the wank bank! http://www1.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/9820870/eden-hazard-extended-interview?

We will win the league most likely but lets not make it harder than it needs to be. Win against Arsenal would be great, but we shouldn't lose, that would be bad. Just play for a clean sheet and look to counter. Winning 6-0 would be great, but we have a title to win, just win it as soon as possible.

I like them. Who are the better ones you recommend? Can't hurt watching more eden videos.

Nice article over at ESPN. Chelsea's gritty approach vs. Man United should be applauded http://www.espnfc.com/club/chelsea/363/blog/post/2409387/chelseas-gritty-approach-vs-man-united-should-be-applauded-not-criticised

Yeah, I don't see Zouma starting here. Mou clearly said Zouma played to neutralize Fellaini so no need for him in the midfield against Arsenal. I doubt Mikel is match fit yet so he won't start. Matic and Cesc can do a job or even Ramires if we want to be more defensive. Just shut down Ozil and Cazorla (crowd the middle) and we should be able to stop them. Sanchez doesn't scare me. He's got great shooting technique but I don't see him getting free looks at our goal, especially now that he's playing on the wings. Courtois Ivan - Cahill - Terry - Azpi Cesc - Matic Willian - Oscar - Hazard Remy

Found a bigger version with the most important part now completely visible. From Daily Mail

Fellaini is important for them, but it's not like they run their entire offence through him. Also Oscar isn't too bad on the wings, my only worry is defensively he might find it difficult as he hasn't played on the wing in a while.

No wholesale changes needed. Get Sterling and a world class CM.

Until one of them turns out to be Courtois. 2014/15 - In Chelsea first team 2030 - Retires as Chelsea legend

Great news! Gonna try to go to every match. I hope we play at Michigan Stadium, 100,000 seat stadium. Would be amazing.

Hahaha.. Debate without clown pictures please. I can't believe you had to post that. Funniest post ever.

Boga gets injured a lot. And he's super shite defensively. He needs to improve his tactical and defensive side of the game. No passengers in any team nowadays. He improves these things and he's set. I'd say Ake, RLC and Boga can be first teamers next season because they are that good.

Let's hope EA don't release an in form card for him, otherwise we'll be in trouble.
