Sturridge is ultimately a very selfish striker who will try to score impossible shots and do backheels even when we are losing.. very naive playing style though not being a teenager anymore..should have better awareness and decision making by that age of his..

Norwich is a very good team.. especially at home.. a bit disrespectful to say otherwise.. I'll give you an example.. Estonian national team is 86th in the world.. nowhere near the top but Im still proud of our small but resilient side and consider us a good team.. hence not being a megastar packed Spanish team.. get where Im heading? all about perspective and respect. Football isn't a game of rock-paper-scissors

Difficult game and a very closed game.. Mata made the difference.. Also mentions go out to Moses and Luiz.. well done.. good 3 points!

Not sure if you are being sarcastic or not As a striker I'm thinking he wants to play as many games possible to rack up even more goals..

Does anybody know why Falcao hasn't made any appearances in Europa League this year? Seems a bit odd to me and the fact that we are offloading Sturridge when we lack firepower..

Great performance, thank you Chelsea! Hazard MOTM

Just because your source is a good read and has numbers in his article does not mean he is correct.. don't trust every article blindly mate.. I get you're a bit sceptical and so am I, I dont want bad for Chelsea, but I'd hate to miss out on great players. FFP is all about bookkeeping and a club like Chelsea will get unexpected sponsors whenever we might fall a bit short.. it's all business..

Im sorry but I've got all of my belief in the businessmen that run Chelsea.. Im sure they know a tad more about bookkeeping and bending the FFP rules than you, us in general.. I hate to read comments about we not being able to afford this or that when we actually dont know the complete financial background of our beloved club... Don't make yourself look important by splashing out facts you can't back up 100%.. I do wish best for the club and if we do buy Falcao - great, we've got a true goalscorer and a poacher.. if not then we will address the situation in the future sooner rather than later.

I get your admiration for Lewandowki but he posted you simple facts that speak for themselves. Say what you want about Europa League - it might not rake in as much money for clubs, but it certainly is no pushover..and having won 2 is something while also being MOTM in the finals. Regarding Bundesliga (which i regard the most beautiful league in the world).. it is dominated by Dortmund and Münich..rare sparks from Levekrusen, Schalke and a few other but portuguese league is a fair head to head race between Braga, Benfica, Porto, Sporting Lissbon.. all of which are a force to be reckoned with be it in CL or EL. The three goals Falcao scored against us in the Super cup were brilliant.. you can argue that we might have made it easy for him but the fact is - he capitalized on our mistakes , a pure striker's killer instinct.

Im not picking sides, but in my humble opinion The only place to be seems a great lad with spot on posts.. you guys could agree to disagree

Ok mate.. no need to convince me tho Liked your picks for MOTM.. was impressed by Romeu also.. a bit reckless but strong and willing to give his all..

Chose Torres MOTM.. and isn't his 2 goals, but the look in his eyes was different.. seemed focused and ready to work for the team..

What do you guys think about Yilmaz of Galatasaray? Banging in goals in CL at every angle

Exactly.. we need a poacher.. a striker, who is there to tap it in... not a forward,who helps to link play up, but isn't there to put the final touch as in scoring

SeB - always constructive and informative

Blood is thicker than water - my vote goes to Manpe

His post did talk about the game, but also he commented on an incident on this board from his POV, which was related to this game and tried to bring reasons why a well respected moderator might think like he might have. Now i dont know about you, but being an old member and having a lot of posts give you NO authority to abuse negative reputation button without even giving a proper explanation. Getting 1 point is disappointing seeing how many chances we created but top of the table and that's what matters KTBFFH PS, both goalies did a great game..

seems like we could form a team already

I'd say he was my MOTM.. goal.com player ratings are a bit off.. i could agree with alxes being flop of the match bcs he conceded a penalty and a red card but was super solid before that, but what i CANT agree with is Bertran MoTM according to goal.com? no way..

DMF/RB .. enjoy physical play, but play so rarely.. just havent got the oppurtunity.. focusing more on strength training etc

voted for Mata

AMF, can play striker.. but matter of the fact is - he is an assist machine

Chin ups!

Wouldn't Thomas Müller be ideal to replace him?

Yard by yard life is hard but inch by inch it's a cinch
