I guess we will need to wait until our Manager situation is sorted as well... Since there is nothing happening on the Ban front, Ban is pretty much in play. If Sarri stays then we pretty much have the regular lineup but if he goes then all depends who come in which change the formation and could be the difference in selection eg AC over Luiz

hahahahahaha ... I apologize!!! My bad.

Who else do we have currently as LB?

If Lampard or any manager picks someone it will be based on what he see in a player in training and the analysis of the player in his system... If that player doesnt deliver and if the manager keeps going with him, he will surely be criticized which was exactly the case with Sarri. Alonso was appreciated when he moved as a LWB under Conte but once he was put in the back 4 system he failed. Sarri's mistake was that he kept playing him over and over despite Alonso's mistakes expecting different results... thats when u have to criticize the manager. If Lampard or anyone else does the same thing, he would be beaten up just like Sarri. I m glad i was able to make you laugh, it is a tough skill to have these days. And thanks for taking the pain to go back to my post, appreciate it!!!

Alonso is not the right LB for us or for anyone ... Period!!! Will always maintain it whether Sarri picks or Lampard. The problem with the next manager is that we only have 2 LBs to chose from ... Emerson or Alonso so who ever shows more determination will be picked it is as simple as that. There is no different tune here, these are the only notes we have access to.

Honestly it wouldnt be a surprise if that happens ... It all depends who shows more determination in training

Wouldnt disagree ... as i said 2 year minimum ... post that how your body behaves depends how discipline your ...

Quality is damn expensive these days, mate ... And like i mentioned Madrid need someone to replace the Ronaldo void which Hazard can fill to an extent. Madrid doesnt have anyone who can be better than Hazard is ... a complete package! And as far as right side goes, Madrid will soon be going for Mbappe (this season or the next) thats no brainer. Vinicius is only 18 and not proven so I'm sure Madrid are not going to lose their sleep on him. For Hazard it all depends how long he can continue physically, i gave him the minimum of 2 years at the top. As far as phase out goes, if Hazard doesnt perform he will be a gone one way or the other.

Wouldnt call Hazard as vanity because he bring value to the side. They need a someone who is vastly experienced to replace Ronaldo in attack and Hazard is the best alternative who comes near to filling that void. Hazard can play on the left and central is also what gives him the edge on anyone Madrid has at this point of time ... even who are available. I feel Hazard does have another 2 years at the top which gives Vinicius (who is only 18) time to adjust to Madrid and be ready once Hazard is done.

We all were wondering that FIFA is going to take it's own sweet time to rejected because that is the only way it goes to CAS where we have a chance to push the ban. But FIFA has been prompt in rejecting the second time while we are still day dreaming which says that we arent being serious about pushing the ban. Our strategy is not aggressive which highlights the fact that there is total chaos within the administration. We arent sure if Sarri is staying or not, Hazard is still not done, new stadium or not, youth or established, just like ban or no ban

As much as i agree it is too early for Lampard or Terry but if we are going for a new manager ... Lets nail both of them to Manager & Asst Manager position. The only reason is because they know the club in and out, some loyalty for Chelsea, there would be some respect within the dressing room as they were part of it not long ago and they could have a direct line to the owner which most of the manager might not. It would be a huge risk to have them or either one but I do feel it's a risk worth taking.

We are not going to because the ban would be in place and Coutinho would be long gone while the ban is completed.

Back to where he belongs!!! All the best, Conte ... Hope u will bring some spark in the league.

Boy-O-Boy!!! That was some performance by the Blues, glad to be wrong on this one. Dont remember when we was the last time we played as a team, with such grit and determination ... After the slow start we took control of the game and grew in the game to the level where we destroyed the opposition. More importantly it was not just about Hazard, he added his class while everyone did what is expected from them ... played like a team. Liked the intensity when we had a lead of 3 goals and still we were defending like crazy behind. Superb game for us!!! Wish we could have played like this for most part of the season but that would be too much of asking Perfect send off to Hazard.

Today finals will be decided on how Hazard plays ... as simple as that!!! I dont have hope from anyone specially with RLC, Kante not there and the fact that we have miraculous qualified for CL next season ... If Hazard wants another title then he will be rally the game else Arsenal to win because they want this more than us.

I'm sure they will have more heart in the game if they take the field and will be more fun to watch.

Yes ... why not ... we are becoming a team for the old and the unwanted ... Keep it coming !!!

Pointless game at this time of the season, it could have waited for 3 week ... more over why did we field the entire first team on this one? Why cant we have mix & match of experience and youth even if the contract says so. We're just getting absurd with every passing day.

WTF!!! Not sure on what basis does he gets a 2 yr extension ... he is has way past his prime, why cant we built up the team with new blood!!! Why r we going backwards!!!

Damn!!! Phewwwwwww!!! WTF!!! And Hazard does a Drogba ...

We're PATHETIC!!! Keep it simple!!!

Hahaha ... I can understand the emotion

Thats so true. It's the determination & soul which gives the edge to a team not just talent and class.

WTF!!! 2 Epic semi-finals in a row is too much to take and the icing on the cake is to have 2 English teams competing in the CL finals (guess this is only the 2nd or the 3rd time). I hope the final is equally nerve racking and let the best team win. Which ever team wins, the manager would be the real winner not that they are not already but the winner will just stamp it. Superb!!!! All the best to both the team. Now lets get us into the final.
