Even in the last two games, i have seen a lot more from Eto'o than what Torres usually "gives" us.

Regarding Azpilicueta he didn't get a start outside of the Carling Cup until November last season and turned out to be one of our best players. It's too early to draw conclusions.

Two and a half years in Torres case.

Chelsea FC > any individual.

We moan when their's no competition, we moan when their is. Their is 5 spaces for the 6 AM's in the 18, against Bayern KDB missed out, on Wednesday Schurrle did and today Mata does. just be glad our squad is strong enough to be able to do this.

That is why KDB is not going to play regularly until he can shows he good enough and forces his way in. I said on the deadline day i don't think the club planned to loan him out, it was only when a top 6 club who have a manager with a good youth record came in he considered it.

We simply cannot use Lukaku's stats at West Brom to say if he will do well here or not. Forsell got 17 goals on loan at Birmingham, just to put a bit of perspective on things.

I was on about Ivanovic being excellent as a right back under Ancelotti, not Bosingwa. I thought Bos was crap even under Scolari when he was getting more plaudits than there is crocodiles in the nile.

That's part of the challenge, if he wants to eventually make it with Chelsea, then getting in the team ahead of one of those two should be the mere start of his career path.

Maybe in his interim spell, but things were hardly rosy when he got the job full time.

He was top class at right back under Ancelotti, probably the best in the whole league. It baffles me how its rarely acknowledged.

How exactly? the trio may look nice on the eye, but there is far too much imbalance when those play together.

Maybe last season, but finishing 6th in 2012 went much deeper than just not having a forward and a DM.

With David Moyes as manager, i would say almost certainly.

Actually Bertrand wasn't very good in the Champions League final, it wasn't just him tho, the whole team bar Cech were awful, Bayern had a beyond stupid number of chances, that doesn't happen if your outfield players are playing well. Yes they showed great character and determination that night, but when all said and done, Cech saved us from a royal hammering.

Sunderland and Newcastle created shit loads of chances against them at home, so at the very least we should do the same regardless off who plays. If we doesn't their is something seriously wrong and that not even i will be be able to put a positive spin on. I think in time Willian is going to become an asset in the match winning regard.

Maybe not so much these days, but Ivanovic was brilliant as a right back under Ancelotti. Drogba, Malouda and Lampard (rightly) get showered with plaudits for that season, but Ivanovic at right back instead of Bosingwa was also a big factor to us winning it too.

Probably something on the lines off anyone can do it in that Brazil team when their playing in their home country, completely neglecting the fact that being the host's hikes the pressure up ten fold. It happens all over football (comments without thinking outside the box) another example Pep getting it easy at Barca, again not mentioning the fact the season before he took over the team finished 3rd, 20 points behind the Champions (even 10 behind Villareal) and a group full of ego's. That's not the worse, there's the myth's about Jose, but ill be here all night if i started breaking those down.

Get him to curl his hair and kick the shit out Rooney, that will do the trick.

I swear some won't actually taken to players (not even Messi) until they are "Premier League proven". Mata, Silva, Aguero, Cazorla and Ozil, use to get put down by Premier League proven diehards, and it still just doesn't sink in.

People are overestimating Fulham, they are not the same team off two season's back, they went off the boil pretty badly at the end of last season and have started this season equally as shit. Even in their only win against Sunderland, they got extremely lucky and were played off the park for nearly all of the match. Newcastle and Arsenal gave them equally as much of a rogering. If we play a much as 70% of our capabilities, it will take a stupidly fluke turn off events to stop us winning this, Fulham use to be a team that caused even the big teams problems, they are not that anymore, City, United, Arsenal twice, Chelsea and even Liverpool have cruised to victories at Craven Cottage this calender year, we have to win and i will be stunned if we don't, quite frankly.

Torres actually confessed to not caring about results at one point this time last year.

It's funny that Eto'o's not so great performances yesterday (which was still better than most of what Torres has "blessed" us with at Chelsea) has made people forget just how bad he has been for us. Do i need to remind you when he joined went on a 17 game goal drought, scored a few then went on 24 (no that's not a typo, twenty four) and the Torres that has currently scored 1 premier league goal in 2013, yes 1 in 6 months of action in the PL. What's the odds that Eto'o will end this year with more PL goals than Torres? i wouldn't rule it out. Eto'o hasn't had the best of starts, but this sudden pining for Torres is weird, i remember similar after Anelka left, we had a bad month and all off a sudden Anelka was the answer to our woes all this time, despite being one of the main culprits for us stagnating in the first place.

Now people who think Mourinho can't work with these players just ask yourself's one thing. Benitez at Liverpool was beyond cautious in matches, played machine like football. he pretty much played the same type of football we did under Jose last time but obviously nowhere near as good as we did. At Valencia he had different type of players, and were one of the most under-rated teams on the planet, i remember when we had our group stage draw in 2003 and i was honestly terrified off getting them, they were so good. I remember them beating Liverpool (ironically) 2-0 at the Mestialla under Rafa and it was one of the most complete performances i have seen, they teared the Scousers apart. With us Rafa didn't play anything like his Liverpool teams, he adapted to what he had. What im trying to say is if Rafa adapt's to the personnel, why on earth can't Jose?

So you slate our board for "stockpiling talent" yet 3 of those 5 players were brought by Arsenal.
