Amblève.

The greatness of Joe Hart, too.

He'd be sitting on the bench.

Can anyone of those claiming Cahill's a top defender enlighten us why he's such a top defender and why his performances last season were not a product of the system we played?

Remember how we set up vs City last year?As already pointed out by several people, Cahill and Terry were protected by our defensive system. Cahill more so than Terry since the latter still has great anticipation to put himself in the right position 95% of the time. Cahill on the other hand...

Jose has to take the blame for this result. Starting Drogba in such an important game was a no-no from the get-go.

Keller is an absolute clown of a coach. Surely, he'll want to save his ass and his team but as per usual he'll overdo it. Winning comfortably vs Schalke should be a no-brainer tonight.

One could also argue that Dean might have been given the instructions "to do right" to Chelsea this time, if you believe in these kind of theories.

Correct. I would think that a more mobile CB pairing or a third central midfielder could cover for him though.

... which has been a pattern throughout his whole career. German fans want him out of their NT's first-11 constantly as Özil is the definition of a fair wheather footballer; good as long as the team plays well but if things are looking bad he'll look even worse.

Not improving an aging squad that lost Ballack, Carvalho, Belletti, Deco and J. Cole hurt us that season.

His celebrations are fucking class.

As I already said on Twitter even if the relationship between Chelsea and Mourinho goes south our "players stability", like in 2007, will remain intact, thus making it easier for any coach to start at Chelsea.

FFS, obviously this is about reputation etc, too. It's about promoting your own brand by being partners with a brand as big and well-known as yours in the world instead of settling for "more" money instantly (although this is all hypothetical talk) by signing with a smaller one. What Samsung offers us is a unique partnership with one of the best companies in their field and one of the most famous brands in the world; everyone knows Samsung is one of the leading electronics groups (publically) only challenged by Apple. Do as many people know about Turkish Airlines, let alone about their status in the airlines business? You know the answer.

Ignoring the fact that it's a DM article... A big "no" from here. As one of the biggest clubs in the world we simply need a shirt sponsor with a brand as big and well-known as ours. Turkish Airlines, with all due respect, simply doesn't fit the bill.

Marchisio, too. Too underrated that guy.

It's unbelievable how often Cahill gets caught ball-watching (latest example, Everton's 1st goal). Beside his lack of quality on the ball the biggest hole in his game.

Shouldn't this thread still be in the "Current Squad" section? All the other loanees are

The day we signed Hazard everyone should have known that 19th May 2012 was the most important date in the history of this club.

If on top of all the crazy stuff yesterday Mikel had scored a goal it officially would have been the most bizarre PL game ever.

As long as he's not swearing at the refs I'm all for him telling our opponents how he fucked their mums the other night and shit.

Apparently, John Henson, PF of the Milwaukee Bucks, is a Chelsea fan. Posted this pic of him on his Twitter this evening.

Enjoy. https://vine.co/v/OBOMKxQ19ZD

At first I thought it was Ramires who made that run

JT is in the zone. Great game by him so far.
