It was a joke mate!

BREAKING: Juventus have turned down Chelsea's offer of £35 million and Oscar in exchange for PAUL POGBA, with officials at the Italian club claiming they would be happy with just the money. (BT Sport)

Our GK top will certainly be this template:
-
Hazard being on that list is the first time he's turned up for something since May 2015.
-
Get him and Traore in the starting line-up. Costa Kenedy - Willian - Traore #Pace
-
Players who've proved me wrong this season: Costa Cesc Willian Players who've proved me right this season: Oscar Hazard I have always maintained that Hazard is NOT, and never will be (because of his horse-shit attitude), world-class. He was an undeserving winner of PoTY last season (most neutrals rightly identified Terry, who had his BEST EVER Chelsea season in 14/15) and he isn't even the best player in his family anymore hahaha. So fucked off with his half-hearted, self-substituting, cockwombling approach to our football club. How much do we pay him to disappear like that?

Begovic Azpi - Ivan - Cahill - Kenedy Mikel - Matic Willian - Cesc - Pedro Traore Gonna lose my shit if I see Oscar in the team, and Courtois needs to be dropped. Not at fault particularly for any of the goals yesterday, but we need a change in keeper and the FA Cup is the perfect reason for Guus to make the change. But we all know he won't.
-
Felt sorry for him yesterday, playing beyond Fraudzard. Willian and Pedro try but they just weren't good enough and offered precious little.
-
The irony about Dave is, that since Hiddink came back, he's actually been shocking defensively. I know he's improved from an attacking point of view, but defensively he's playing as poorly now as Ivanovic was under José.
-
I thought he'd get slaughtered, but you know what? He was our best defender yesterday. What does that say about the state of this team?
-
What an absolute warrior. One of the best strikers in world football right now, and he isn't even fit. I'm not sorry for slagging him off earlier in the season, because he deserved it, but he is our only world-class player and I couldn't blame him if he hops back over to Atletico in the summer.
-
Now people have come to the party and recognised what some of us have been saying all season. His head is NOT at Chelsea. He has two options: either to fuck off, or sign a new contract and show he's committed. Right now, I'd rather have Yossi fucking Benayoun playing over him.
-
They must be tyred of this shit.
-
We lost to the better team, so no complaints from me.
-
I think we'll do enough to get a result on the night, but I don't think we'll prevent them from scoring, which makes it almost impossible to progress - are we really going to outscore PSG?!
-
If we only win one of those, PLEASE let it be against Spurs.
-
As for what you've just said, I've said earlier in this topic. Nevertheless, we have dropped some stupid points and he has to take some responsibility, as manager, for that.
-
Easy points indeed - losing points from winning positions against West Brom, Watford, and Stoke is pretty inexcusable, and in each of those three games, Hiddink's decisions were somewhat puzzling. Seems more than coincidence that links his poor decisions with poor results. As for the league "evolving" - I disagree. Next season will be back to "usual". This is just a ridiculous, crazy season, and I would be amazed if we see a repeat next year!
-
I love Guus and think he has done a great job in transforming our fortunes. Whilst 6 wins and 7 draws doesn't sound fantastic, it is top six form, and 25 points out of 39 means we're picking up ~65% of the points available to us, at just under two per game. That's a big improvement on our early season form. However, his substitutions have been nothing short of atrocious at times and have cost us easy points.
-
We won't beat PSG. All the eggs are in the FA Cup basket, so if we go out of that, we'll probably just implode and end up with a disinterested squad that finishes about 12th.
-
Totally agreed. Why he isn't playing in the FA Cup against the likes of MK Dons and Manchester City's Under 12s' reserves team is ridiculous.
-
We're going to get spanked whichever way things go, but we're playing the third best team in world football. No shame in going out to the team that (I think) will lift the trophy this year. They have everything they need to succeed.
-
I agree. It didn't happen just once in that game alone, either - he did it in the first half where he punched a cross straight into the danger zone and onto Cameron's head. When punching, you look for three things: Height Width Distance Height is the most important. Even if it goes straight up in the air, the advantage is restored to the goalkeeper as he should be the first person to be able to reach the ball in the air. It also gives defenders time to reset and protect the goalmouth. Width is the next most desirable characteristic - DO NOT punch it back into the 18 yard box, but rather out towards the wings. Ideally, out for a throw-in. Then comes distance. But height and width are by far the most important as they give time for the GK and defenders to reset. However, Thibaut is achieving neither of these, and he certainly isn't getting distance, either. No I do totally agree - I am merely arguing that, with goalkeeping, the simple things (handling shape - "W" or "Cup", for instance) are more important. You can make outstanding saves like Thibaut did from Shaqiri in the second half, but if you're going to punch away - and punch away badly - crosses you should be comfortably claiming with both hands, there's little point. The basics need doing first. Fair enough if you get done from 20 yards with a rocket into the bottom corner - but we cannot be conceding goals like yesterday. Utterly awful. Exactly this, great response. Defensively we are still very poor - BUT undoubtedly more compact than under Mourinho. The simple facts suggest that Begovic kept more clean sheets in fewer games at a time when we were truly terrible and even worse defensively.

Should be starting.
