I don't give a shit what we do. Play a 5-3-2 and camp everyone in our own half and just launch long balls to Ba and Torres and get a scrappy goal for all I care. Just get the WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why do you assume we'll sell him for a loss? I am almost 100% confident we'll make a profit off him. Yeah he might not make it at Chelsea but that doesn't mean he's not a good player. He's impressed at Malaga (suprisingly for me, as I thought that was too aggressive of a loan), he'll still be "young" in 2-4 years time with decent enough loan experience to fetch at least 10M. Like it or not, Chelsea is improving the youth academy to maybe promote a youngster or two but mainly to make a PROFIT from their sales.

People need to calm down. When's the last time Chelsea sold a future world-class prospect? We don't need the money, and just recently KDB's agent even said that Chelsea want to keep him. No way he's getting sold.

It's not a slight against Mata that he doesn't start for Spain, it's just the playing style clashes. Just like how Torres never shined for Spain at any point in his career like Villa has. Spain plays tiki-taka, Mata and Torres are too direct. I think even Isco will get more starts for Spain than Mata by 2018.

Boga even though only 16 already looks like he's a class above our own super talented team. He needs a Mata like Hazard does, one more guy who can link up a little better with him. He can link up with a guy like Baker but Baker plays behind him while guys like Kiwomya and Feruz play with their head down.

KDB hasn't played one minute in the pivot for Werder Bremen. He's either CM or on the wings.

FA Youth Cup XI v Liverpool: Beeney, Aina, Davey, Christensen, Wright, Baker ©, Loftus-Cheek, Colkett, Boga, Kiwomya, Feruz. Subs: Killip, Conroy, Dabo, Swift, Hunte. Very young side. Its a two-legged tie, no away goals rule. Also glad to have Adi Viveash coaching and not Dermont Dummy (why was he coaching next-gen anyways).

I think he can be a good CM, similar to Lampard but not as good defensively. Pivot is a different beast. KDB has great technical ability and I wholeheartedly agree that his touch, dribbling and composure on the ball is something we dearly miss in the pivot but KDB isn't the answer. We want those qualities in our pivot but not from KDB, from a new signing. He is a very aggressive passer, he's way too direct to be a pivot player. He'll provide some good long balls and good creativity from the pivot but pivot's primary responsibility is to control the tempo of the game, you need discipline in passing and position, he doesn't have that. This is not a slight against him, I'm just pointing it out cause that would work against him in the pivot but not if he's further up the field. And I don't think we are overloaded with AMs. We have a lot but Marin, Yossi aren't Chelsea material. KDB is already better than Moses imo. RAM - Moses, KDB CAM - Mata, Oscar, KDB LAM - Hazard, KDB, Moses That's my depth chart next season. Marin, Yossi out. This is all assuming we keep 4-2-3-1, if it was up to me I'd play a 4-3-3 because then you might not even need 2-3 midfield signings. We are playing 2 pivot players right now when we don't have ONE good enough for it. We play 4-3-3, you automatically put Mikel, Ramires in their best positions. 4-3-3 DM - Mikel, Romeu RCM - Ramires, Oscar LCM - KDB, Oscar RW - Mata, Moses LW - Hazard, Moses

Not a big deal at all, unless they stooped to punching each other. It's sports, this happens all the time. JT prolly does this 10 times a game but no one prolly has balls to say otherwise so you don't see a debate ensue.

I wouldn't play De Bruyne in the pivot, he's too aggressive of a passer to be a pivot player even more than Hazard and you don't want that unless you're playing with prime Torres and want to play purely counter-attack and bypass the entire midfield (Mata, Hazard). Secondly, he's not good enough defensively either. I want him back and be first choice backup to all 3 AM positions, or even start over Moses as Moses seems like a better impact sub that KDB would be.

There's a lot more to come from him. He's not shown even close to the form he's showed for Brazil. He's dominating and running the show often times for Brazil yet for Chelsea he's always been the 2nd or 3rd guy, hasn't shown that MOM performance like he does for Brazil on a regular basis.

vs. Man U is my favourite (same game as that miss).

Yeah Cech looks awesome. And the action shots are amazing too, especially the Torres one.

Adidas can suck a bag of dicks. What a joke!

That looks like a kit for a Championship team. Not worthy for a team of Chelsea's caliber.

I loved this year's home kit (one of the best of all time imo). Wouldn't mind a similar white away kit like this year without the blue hash and the black third kit without the ridiculous yellow design. Keep the same colour scheme just tone it down imo.

2-0 win for them gets em through, def not over yet, but shouldn't worry too much we should be able to get at least 1 goal there and I don't see em putting 3 past us.

Unless Bale broke something, he could be back in a couple of weeks, could be just a strain. Athletes, especially of his calibre usually have god-like ankle muscles. (However I'm thinking from a basketball point of view since that's happened to me several times so naturally the muscle doesn't get strained much anymore but might not be the same for football).

Told y'all Yossi > Marko. But I also said Yossi > Torres haha, maybe so but Torres was clowning on em fools tonight. Why can't he play like that more often. Mata was great too, Lampard and Ramires had horrible games especially Lamps, shockingly bad. Bertrand also had a good game, not as good as Azpi in the build-up but reliable as a defender and did decent enough attacking wise.

Take off Mata for Marin.

WHAT A CROSS !!!!!!! Great header too.

Oooo Mata Close. Lampard has been shockingly bad.

Never a penalty for me. You can't just give penalties when the dude's arms are by his side, if his arms are raised perpendicular fine but wtf is he supposed to do there? His arms weren't even moving towards the ball. And how that is a yellow I don't even understand.

Ramires and Lampard have been shit. Unlucky penalty though.

Yes MOSES!! Get back on form son! We need you!
