Ohhhh hahaha touché That was clever [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]

This is how he warms up. Sideways.

Let's sign this guy up. He put a clinic on that left fullback, he was a nightmare.

Hahahaha Come on he missed again. It's a little bit funny at this point.

Barca had one inserted for the Romeu clause when they sold him to us.

Seriously, I'm just over these passive-aggressive comments to the media. He's a good guy, will do well in his career, score loads of goals and be a solid international, just maybe not at Chelsea, I feel. I also honestly don't want that kind of attention on the players here, does not work to galvanize a dressing room. He's Just a bit deluded, the tiniest bit self-entitled and frankly, as good as he is, I don't think he's half as good as he THINKS he is. That being said, upside is that he is highly marketable and could turn a nice profit next year if he has a good outing. I'd hate to off the mark though, and for him to mature quickly and truly become a monster 0_o he certainly has the tangibles.

Poor Lampard is out of his element :-/ nothing against him cuz he's a boss, but his lack of mobility sorta holds us back in a way. Can't blame him at his age.

Play the hot hand.

^exactly. Let's just make it easier on everyone and avoid this mess.

All the Demba Ba haters go quiet. You're a blue. He's a blue. He's here till he leaves and he finishes chances. Never put a foot wrong for the club. The exact opposite of Torres. Never going to lead the line but worth every penny. Gross goals still count as much as the beauties.

Everyone in that locker room needs to sit down and take a second and agree which goal we're going for before the game starts.

Lol at our 4-2-4 formation. Everyone's reluctant to get in the box.

He did drop really deep a few times to receive the ball from the CBs. Filled into that role to spread the ball around a bit. Ramires was about as creative as a door knob, though that was no surprise. More of a patch than a long term solution.

It's been such a nightmare He just won't go away.

No club, in their right mind, would pay for a Torres transfer. It doesn't make any sense from a business point of view. He is not worth any value in transfer funds when he can be taken for free after the expiry of his contract. He will not add anything to a team that has enough money to complete the transfer, he's just not good enough. That aside, he will not leave because he is contracted to earn a staggering salary if he rides out his contract. He lives a very good life right now and has no incentive to leave. Seems like the only thing we can do, as a club, is damage control and squeeze out what we can from him. I guess they could freeze him out, a la Anelka or Malouda. He does have decent moments I suppose. But his presence also means Lukaku can't get in. What is there to do...

Simply one of the most purely talented players to grace the pitch for me. Makes everything look so simple. Leaves a lot to be desired in terms of work rate, ethic, coachability, etc...and has also shown to be a contentious teammate and not the most dedicated. But is capable of some insane mind-blowing skill.

It's just simply an observation. Luiz didn't do good enough against Anichebe. Anichebe is a really strong player, we're not going to burn Luiz at the stake, no need to be so defensive.

I do love Luiz, and do love what he brings to the spirit of the club, but at some level we do have to acknowledge the reality of the situation. He just isn't AS good at marking in the box (on set pieces and open play) as he is at other aspects of the game. This does not go to say that he is poor at marking, he just isn't AS good as he is playing the game further up the pitch. Considering that's a pretty large aspect of the position, we might just have to come to terms with it: David Luiz might not be cut out to commandeer an EPL top-tier side from the center back position. He would, however, probably excel at that position in Spain/Germany/Portugal (as he did before). That being said, he certainly does bring a lot to the table and for that, I applaud him. It might just be one of those things where the success he achieves in his career will be dictated by aspects of the game foreign to himself (i.e. the style of play, the manager, the selection of team, the tactics of a particular game, shit...the weather, who knows) more so than he himself. Responses welcome.

I see what you're saying, but in all fairness, the (well-warranted) critique was prefaced with his positives. Mainly, his utility to us a player.

I'm not sure why they're booing Ramires, all of his touches have gone straight to their feet -__-

Some people are really butthurt about him leaving. Get over it. He was a boss when he was with us. The lone bright spot in an exceptionally uncreative squad a few years back. He Made a decision to leave, good for him. He's a big boy, he made the call, so enough of the petty character judgement, I'm pretty sure he didn't do it to spite you. Lol don't flatter yourselves.

Such a troll ^^^^ Just post without shitting on Mikel, he has his flaws as a footballer, as does everyone, but he's played his role when he's been called upon as well. Best of luck to him, whether or plies his trade at Chelsea or elsewhere.

My, how quick some are to turn on our tiny Spaniard for wanting to play for us. Wish him the best, though, as his future is likely best spent somewhere else as long as Mourinho is here.

Idk what it is, but this kid is a baller on FIFA 14. So much fun to play with. Can score from anywhere. Just sayin.

^Hazard is SHIT without Juan??
