I have said it before and will say it again. Salah was a totally unnecessary buy and offers nothing that players like Thorgan Hazard, atsu and even Victor Moses can't. I will even go as far as to say the former two are better than him.

The positive with Schurrle is he's getting on the end of chances. he makes the right runs and never hides or shy away.

And why are sporting playing a high defensive line. absolutely suicidal against a counter attacking team like us

This is the most creative I have seen us in quite a long time. With more clinical finishing the scoreline should be 4 nil by now

Goalll. finally

There's a difference between woman and a bad mouthed bitch. I don't and never disrespect women because they carry themselves in a way that commands respect. You on the otherhand is a different matter because you belong in the second category.

But it's not rude to call someone a buffoon? unprovoked at that. The double standard hey.

Go suck Oscar's dick some more and let me watch this match in peace. Now that's a good girl. see you later

Schurrle, wtf

It must be that time of the month for you. oscar dick sucker

Has Oscar completed a single pass so far. Willian should have started ahead of him.

Jose's only doing this so we can sell him to Liverpool in a couple of years for £50m. sweet revenge and all that

I know it's a must win match but I still feel Jose shouldn't take the risk of starting Costa. Remy, contrary to some opinion on here is a good technical striker that's reliable enough to start against Sporting. An when on form can be very deadly indeed, so we should have started with him instead and keep Costa on ice for the arsenal game.

Yer we want to hear/see something different. like his fav pornstar for example. Asa akira or skin diamond will be a good start

Why does he constantly give interviews stating the same ole shit... ambition , aspire to reach messi and Ronaldo's level etc. Even if the interviewers are prompting him with the same questions all the time, his answers are getting quite repetitive. Whenever I see a link to his interviews now I always expect to see similar quotes. A bit like Fabregas always going on about his circumstances for leaving Barca and joining us. if the interviewers ask the same ole questions, players are actually allowed to change the subject and not give the same ole answer to the same ole question.

He could/would be dropped but only because Coentrao or a player like him would have cost a lot of money in the first place to bring in and already come with big reputation. You want to protect your big investment, big reputation and the perception of a player influenced by the hype machine does make a significant difference.

Let me ask you this, would it kill him or hurt him to wait just a few seconds longer until the game is officially over like majority of managers do?. What's the point of leaving early. . . . it must be to ensure his bubble bath doesn't get cold

I wonder why he never leaves early when we are losing or drawing a game. I totally agree with you. It's disrespectful and unnecessary.

You keep using his inability to displace an ageing cole who just happens to be one of the best fullbacks of his generation as if it's some sort of evidence that Bertrand was a poor player. Firstly there's something called reputation and experience and only a manager who's either batshit crazy or ballsy would have dropped a player of that reputation for a youngster who didn't cost a lot of money or wasn't on some ridiculously high hype train. Chelsea managers not making him a starter ahead of a declining cole means absolute fuck all. How often do we see established former world class continue to retain their starting berth despite showing major decline and consistently playing poorly. Lampard in his latter years with us was another evidence of that. Say what you want, no one can convince me that Bertrand wasn't a very good player who was good enough to start for us or be a back up. It's also happening currently with Drogba and Remy.

Which one is a false statement. That he's extremely inconsistent (even his biggest fans admit this) or limited (his biggest and if we are being honest, only talking point is always about his tactical nous/defensive output and how it helps maintain the shape and balance of the team. Never about vision, passing,ability to retain possession even under pressure etc.

That could perhaps be true for Bale and Reus (easier said than done) However I can't see him eclipsing Robben, infact I can't see any current player 23 and under doing that. If anything this further proves my theory that Arjen is still extremely underrated despite his reputation.

Perhaps as good as those players but not better than them (especially Robben whose peak form and consistency is just terrifying). I think you are also forgetting that Reus and bale are only 2 years older than hazard and could still get better even though they are already genuine world class players.

No speak for yourself please.

This is proof that people rate players differently. The Bertrand that I saw at Chelsea was more than good enough to replace Cole or atleast be a back up. defensively he was extremely good (not Azpi good but still very good indeed) and offensively I had argue he's actually better than azpi whose offensive game is non existent (they are both crap offensively but are none more for their defensive output) I was impressed with what I saw with my own eyes and no one can tell me different. It's funny because it's the same people that do not rate or appreciate a player who always gave his all and rarely gives a below 7/10 performances whenever called upon are the same that illogically and religiously defend oscar , a limited player who is undoubtedly one of the most inconsistent players in Europe. I have never in my life seen Bertrand played like crap for 2 games in a row never mind months on end.

What's stupid about what he said or am i missing something
