I agree, his couple of good performances don't weigh up against the atrocious displays he has shown. He's an alright squad player though, his speed can cause some damage against certain defences, so in that sence I'm glad he's at Chelsea. He should be used more as an impact sub, I think his speed would do well against tired full backs. He shouldn't be a starter though, Chelsea need to think bigger if they want to compete

Lol at all this media nonsense. If anything, the interest from Dortmund and Leverkusen should be an indicator not to sell him. He'll either be in London next season or on loan at Leverkusen if the Schurrle deal goes through.

Cole motm. He deserves more votes, solid performance.

He would've been through. Terrible decision by Torres

Bad first touch ruined that chance

I've got my hopes up for this one

Genk was scouted thoroughly that year, and Chelsea managed to pick up their 2 best prospects very cheaply. Excellent piece of business, even if De Bruyne will never play for us. Noone really expected both to be at the level they are now after 1 season (2 for Courtois) abroad.

A fallacy? His passing is average at best. I rate Ramires, but not for his creativity or passing. His speed and stamina are his main qualities. We need a proper playmaker to feed balls to Mata and Hazard.

To me it's obvious, we lack quality in our spine. Imagine having Kompany at CB and Yaya in front of him. Instead we have Mikel who's slower than my grannie and workhorse Ramires who isn't exactly a great passer of the ball. Lamps doesn't cut it anymore either.

Talkchelsea, home of knee-jerk reactions.. If we'd won yesterday, which we could have, this thread wouldn't exist and you'd all be saying that this team is actually doing well in a transitional season. Besides, no team would win the Prem with our midfield. It's so bad it's laughable. Spend your money on that department coming summer, Roman, instead of splashing silly cash on a striker we don't need.

I enjoyed the game; don't know why so many thought we were woeful. It's not like we were playing Fulham. City has better players in every department. Not to mention the difference in muscle. Should've had a pen as well, which could have changed the game. Oscar should've started in the centre, deep or up high I don't care, he's a championship player on the wings.

k, now you can despair

So much overreaction again. We're getting outmuscled, what did you expect? We've had a solid 20 mins, no reason to despair. Mikel is not a football player though

I know a British couple that moved here 4 years ago. They didn't need to adjust at all, the main difference is indeed the language. Same shitty weather and gritty suburbs as well

Hardly a lifetime.. A nephew of mine wasted 460+ days of his life playing WoW.

He has a place in this team, but he's definately not one of the best in the world yet. He's one of the best young players in the world.

Yea he gets rotated, which makes his 13 goals even more impressive.. dno what point you're trying to prove there. How the fuck can you tell if a player is ready if you don't even fucking know how he plays every week Wipe that sand out of your vagina and think before you post.

You've watched him a few times, good for you. Most of us watch him every week, some, like me, have been following him since he was 16yo. Noone is saying he'd score 20+ goals for Chelsea next season. That would be quite an achievement seeing strikers hit their prime around 27 yo. You're entitled to your opinion but don't come on here critisising a player you've 'watched a few times'.

In 2 seasons? I doubt Moses has ever been better than KDB.

Can't write him off in his first season, he hasn't been crap like Marin (and Moses in my opinion). He's bursting with talent, but needs to bulk up big time. He should be in the centre permanently, out wide he's crap. Mata and Hazard were equally bad today.

So much panic here, we're capable of scoring 2 in 45 min. Mazacar needs to step up tho, atrocious passing.

I actually felt pity for Marin =(

boring game, despite the goals /yawn

Meh. I think he should have started either Oscar or Hazard. Try and finish it off in this tie, rest key players in the away game for City..
