this is the first time we have given RB a true run-out. forget about his one game in a month phase because most of the time players are hardly match fit when that happens. the last 3 matches he has shown he has the quality in him to be more than a squad player. he has taken a run that would make cole and evra proud, he has crossed the ball more number of times than cole did this whole season, and he has defended really really well. plus i dont see the problem of 7/10 performances. i mean PF was never a 9/10 guy. yet he was a major part of a season in which we conceded what 15 goals overall. the point is RB is showing he has what it takes to be a good LB. but people discarding him as average and no more than a squad players after the performances he has put given that this is his first real long stint in the team, is really disappointing.

the exact problem with the fans. unless their is media hype surrounding the player saying that the player is the next pele or zidane or beckenbauer, then the player just is not good enough to make the cut. laughable.

what??? let me exactly what is mata expected to do when the possession starts read 75-25 to the other team. he is a player who thrives when the ball is with his team or on his feet. against bayern mata had atleast 2 players around him (bastian + one of the cbs) every time chelsea had the ball. against barca he had 9 touches in all of 120 minutes of football and chelsea in general wanted to just sit back and defend. plus dont forget it was mata who took the cross in the final for DDs goal. how can u say that these 3 were his worst games is simply beyond me.

even mikel had a 85% pass completion, does that make him better than mata statistically.

care to elaborate?

the only option that makes sense is BOARD. how many of us here knew that torres and sturridge as our only striking options would be a failure. still the board dint buy any strikers. loaning essien and selling meireles while having 4-5 players with absolutely no epl experience was always going to be difficult. the mid is arguably the most important area of the pitch and for the 2 positions of the pivot we had 4 players mikel,lamps,rambo,romeu. with absolutely no back up. chelsea were in 7 competitions in the start of the season and a team like chelsea should always be aiming for all the trophies they are playing for that is about 65-70 matches in the season or atleast 60 matches anyways yet we went into the season with a 20 man squad which included piazon and a relegated malouda. at the 1st sight of a failure/wobble we discarded a fan favourite manager hence losing the home support to an extent which was followed up with a shocking and abysmal appointment of FSW. how can this season not be the board's fault. from the decisions in transfer market to squad selection to the management appointment, they screwed it all up.

simply cant see us beating them. just hope we dont lose. get a point out of this game and steer a point clear of tottenham. also hope for everton to get a draw or a win at emirates. honestly speaking i feel both the matches will be a draw. so the 3-5 spots would look something like this arsenal 33-60 chelsea 32-59 tottenham 32-58 torres hazard mata moses lamps mikel bert luiz JT iva cech subs- turnbull, ba,marin,yossi, rambo,azpi,ake. but would love to see ba torres mata lamps mikel hazard bert luiz jt iva cech i know the latter formation would probably have fulham dominating the mid but its lamps-mikel combo anyways that means we will get our asses handed to us. dont see how azpi and rambo can start this game having played 6 in 15 days already. oscar can stay away from football for as long as it takes him to give a crap about the team.

cant hold the ball. cant dodge past players on the wings. cant cross. plus the worst attitude i have seen in any young player for chelsea. HOPELESS.

first half - horrendous... second half - good fight.. mikel was awful, oscar sucks... we have no squad to relieve MAZA... season's over for me..

DAMN NORWICH TO HELL...

FUCK....

norwich scored.... i repeat NORWICH SCORED!!!

blown totally out of proportion... it was an argument... every1 has it....

i know. its just that, even we would be without our frontline ideally for this match. otherwise we would have to play mata and or hazard every game.any ways done and dusted now. u got your wish.

the same that we would have to or atleast WANT to do...

my preference order would be 1. fene 2.basel 3.benefica but considering all the shit that has happened in the season, u just know we ll get benefica.

first of all no need to get snippy (MR. genious). if u want a discussion/debate i will give u one but let it be clean. all of us have different opinions and there is no need to ridicule one just because it is different from yours. secondly, obviously there is a big difference in oscar that played under rdm (centrally) and the one playing under FSW (as a winger). but read my comment again. do i complain more about his performances or his attitude. if its not clear from the 1st comment its his attitude that bothers me. his performances have been dropping consistently and there can be a number of factors contributing to it (played on the wing, fatigue, over-exposed) but lately i have felt a lack of passion from him. ps - accepted he has struggled on the wings, but i still feel his 2 worst performances have been when he played centrally (against qpr at home and southampton away) when both mata and hazard dint start.

the one great thing about torres apparently "BACK" is that we might that some cash out of it at the end of the season. there are and should be no "ifs" here. he has to leave and will leave for his own sake and for CHELSEA's.

i can see his going the "josh-way" if we dont change our revolving door policy for managers. we will loan him out for a couple of seasons and when he turns 20, we ll end up saying "not good enough" and shipped to hamburg. a lot of chelsea and this guy's future depends on roman's actions. as for his performance, thought he was good in the deeper role but was found wanted in the 2nd half when mikel became our cdm. he literally seemed to be chasing ghosts on the pitch.

i am suprised how quite this thread is compared to what u read when u go thru a mikel or a moses thread. for me he has had a very average season.given that he has played a lot of football in the last year and given that even the most accomplished footballers have struggled in PL, an average season should not be very suprising. but it is not his performances that worry me, its his attitude. sometimes i feel he could not care less about the team and that is what is worrying me the most as a 20-21 year old player with his potential and a big and popular club career at chelsea should not be acting this way.

i will take the MOU chelsea in a heartbeat over the current squad.

seems as if moses is the new kalou/mikel player who will make people kill each other over difference of opinion. anyways for me he is a GOOD squad player (as was kalou).infact if he can sort out his indecisiveness and poor selection in the opposition D, he has a potential of being way more than a squad player. also people who want him gone to be replaced by schurlle are going to be very disappointed. he is not at all physical and would find epl tough for 1-2 seasons by which time the same people who wanted him to replace moses would be calling for his head. i simply think this forum needs to tone down on the "scapegoating" thing. moses before AFCON was brilliant but had a couple of bad games but has come back strong in his last 2 appearances. so i dont see how he is not good enough and "is not providing anything for the team". that is BULLSHIT.

what was the fight about???

i agree that we dint need to do much attacking and even that we dint need to move out of the 1st gear and torres nullified their away goal so early in the match. but there is a difference between ,just standing around the box having absolutely no clue of whats going on or i doubt some players were least bothered of what was going on, and proper organized defending leading upto counters. our very safe position after getting the 2nd away goal should barely be any excuse for the kind of performance our players put today.

after watching moura against barca, i just wonder if oscar is half the player of him. specially after performances he has been putting recently.
