Hazard the difference maker.

I like how somebody said that his role was vital, but the player was average. We can upgrade.

Worldie pass and finish, unfortunately for us

What, really?

Seriously not the time to start experimenting like that.

The fact that Didier himself vouches for him is good enough for me. Lifelong Chelsea fan too. Only 23, will only get better, don't know any strikers who peaked at 23 so best is yet to come and he's Golden Boot material already. Big, strong, fast, clinical, ambitious. All the deficiencies he has can be worked on with Conte. I know I have criticized and rejected him before, but honestly I wouldn't mind him rejoining us. This time he would show what he can really do.

Swap Cahill with Azpi and I'm good. Him being English probably got him there. Not sure if DDG deserves to be there instead of Courtois too, haven't seen him as much so I'll give the benefit of doubt.

Wasn't the wonderkid Dembele in Celtic? So many Dembeles around I'm confused...

This guy turned 18 just 5 months ago. You seriously want a kid to lead the line of league and CL chasers? In a 2 striker system maybe, but as a lone striker I'd be mighty skeptical. I hope he stays in Monaco and doesn't join any big club yet, Monaco is giving him the perfect platform to develop and establish himself, elsewhere the change and pressure might kill the young boy. Playing as the main striker for Chelsea in England is a whole different thing. I'd rather we replaced Costa with a proven and experienced striker and have our own Tammy as backup.

Not to mention there will be constant doubts on whether he wants to actually be here. Keeping such a mercenary as your undisputed nr. 9 is a dangerous game.

I know. I just came here to troll those who jumped on Neymar's dick after that PSG game while criticizing Hazard. So I'm not even interested in having a debate on who's "better", I'm just interested in sticking those damning stats in those peoples' faces. Bonus: He gave the ball away 41 times against the mighty Borussia Monchengladbach in the group stage and 38 times in the first leg against PSG. It cannot be confirmed whether his profligacy is an all-time record but it is the worst performance in terms of keeping the ball since Hulk in 2014, when the Zenit forward lost possession 41 times. Hulk > Neymar.

At losing possession, sure.

If this is true that our main wing-back, center-back and striker are missing, then we're fucked. One or two key absentees is bad enough, three is impossible to replace in this squad, although losing Costa could be a blessing. Massive game in terms of the cup and also the league, because the winner of this tie will have a psychological upper hand for the rest of the season.

Amazing, he surprises the world again with his talent. Hazard can only dream of losing the ball 38 times in a game, he has a long way to go before reaching Neymar the GOAT level EDIT: Even better - Neymar surrendered possession a staggering 46 times against Juventus... that's more than any player in the Champions League this season Fuck Hazard when you have a turnover king like Neymar who can make a fancy pass once in a while that Eden supposedly can't.

The whole team in this season? I don't know, not a lot. One by Diego that I know, and maybe a few by GC from corners but other than that I don't recall.

Relax no one is gonna sign him for that. Don't think we'd pay over 60 for him.

Wtf? I know different opinions and all that, but wow.

Wonder if the reason for the timing of this announcement was to motivate the team to win the league for him?

The way he stood like a statue for Utd's 2nd goal and the only movement he made was away from the ball instead of trying to block it, was shocking. No desire, couple that with GC helping up Lingard at the same time and you don't have to look far why we conceded 2 soft goals.

Too early to say. The plan B this squad allows he uses when needed.

Funny he decides to pull a tactical masterclass and motivate his players against us, but not the rest. Must be a reason for that They played on thursday and have injuries of their own, more than us. We got outplayed by a team that's supposed to be dead the way Mourinho has been speaking this season, no favours.

Of course fans wanted for them to be offloaded, but not like this without replacements. It's ridiculous. Most of our squad is average, would it be okay to ship them all and not replace anyone?

Nah man, blind trust is not what fuels an internet forum. Also, we lost, so that means mistakes were made from manager down. I feel this was one. Jose proved last season that we have every right to question world class managers' judgement. Conte has shown extraordinary judgement so far, but mistakes have been made for sure and I believe Michy and Ake are two players who he has mishandled and it's started to bite us in the finishing sprint.
