For a dumb person he's quite steady in our build up, and defensive shift. The lad like Schürrle never complained about sitting the bench for much of the first part of the season, and always put a decent shift in. He takes his responsibilities seriously, unlike some other attacking players we have. If he is as dumb as you say, why does Mourinho even bother playing him as a number 10. Oscar isn't overly creative, and comes across like any faceless Brazillian in most of his interviews. Surely he must be as dumb like Willian. Hazard kicked a kid, ate a hamburger when he was benched at the national team, had a defensive brain fart in our CL Semi-final. He's gotten away with alot of it because he is Eden Hazard, but seeïng his interviews he looks like a kid trapped in a growns man body.
Here are some of Mourinho's own words about him after our CL semi-final exit "Normally you get these kind of comments from players like him, from players that can't resolve a problem like we had in the first goal."
"Eden is the kind of player that is not so mentally ready to look back to his left-back and to leave his life for him."
Perhaps the biggest comment is this: Hazard has been praised for his defensive duties this term, but Mourinho insists he still has work to do.
"I'm not happy," Mourinho said.
"I speak all season and I try to improve him all season." It clearly is a jab that after all the work he's done during the season Hazard still doesn't understand some basic defensive football work.
Anyway, do i judge these players on their intelligence? No, if i did that then half of our squad should be gone. Torres doesn't score right? So he must be dumb as a brick. Willian has to improve, but saying that he can't because of his intelligence are some pretty big acquisitions. I will defend everyone of our players that get judged and trashed away by these assumptions people get by listening to interviews etc

Hit the nail right on the head! He has an agenda against him, so everyone alters their perception on everything he does.

actually he creatively he had some very nice moments and was sort of anonymous at others - hence why some people were criticizing him (prematurely imo). He's coming from tiki taka BS and even if he was too direct for that shit, he still programmed his brain for that. I think in a couple of months he'll be completely in sync with the team, but until he reaches his highest level, Oscar (and others who also failed to be an answer for us last season) will have to step up. Regardless of Cesc, Oscar needs to step up ASAP.

Are you kidding?
So you're taking one frame and extrapolating so much rubbish from it?

Unreal what people can conclude from pictures. Such plasticity these days.

Omg look a Cesc just walking there useless cunt.

I know I meant because of things like that and not banging in a goal from 20 yards out or dribbling past 4 players in a role so he isn't recognized by other people as much as Hazard. Physically he is way better than Hazard imo, never injured and can run all game long without tired.

Along with Oscar, imo also a pretty big season for this guy. Always been said around Europe as one of those 'top player' but never really had the chance to prove it at a big club, last season you could say it was his 1st year after Russia...etc but if he is truly be recognized as 1 of the top winger in the world he would need to improve on his statistics. He is very talented and is capable of doing Hazard moments, he is just not as flashy and willing to track back a lot so he is underrated by many people.

Yes the timing of suspensions could be a problem. But I would much rather see his agressive style of play. It gets not only him going but the crowd and players too. Hes a defenders nightmare - he started on JT for god sake!

Salah has looked strong in pre season thus far. Now that the world cup boys are back I can't see him forcing himself into the "go to guy" coming off the bench. Should be given a chance though when the times right. Every player suffers a dip in form at some point - Oscar's sexond half of the season IMO was very poor and even eden went cold at points, maybe this could be the season Salah has an influence. Maybe.

Again, Jose also said a few weeks back that Willian was a player for the sides. Willian will still play plenty of games on the wing.

I got the Home and Away (Yellow) last week and love them to bits. I also got last season's white away shirt for £7.50 on ebay. The white is the best white shirt we've had with adidas by a mile. Don't need to get many more away's now but i'll always get the new home. This home is the best yet imo. I say it every year but they do genuinely get better every year.

With this game on Saturday it doesn't give us much rest or preparation time. Oscar should be ready to go with schurrle playing tonight. Won't be an easy game, but we could do to score more then 1 goal to get confidence sky high again.

Yeah but Ivanovic isn't a rightback. The sooner we get Azpi to right the sooner we'll see the team gain some much needed offensive balance. To me Azpilicueta is superman right now my confidence in him is at max. It's superb to have a guy like him who can play on both sides so well.

Lots of people over reacting at the moment. Yes we could have killed the game. Yes we could have prevented the goal, but we have the away goal in the bag, know a hell of a lot more about Gala now too. So don't blow it out of proportion saying every things a disgrace etc. We have an away goal and at the bridge we will get the job done!

Willian was great in the 1st half BUT in the 2nd he was frustrating, giving the ball away in some sensitive situations.
But Azpi though, I mean the POTY award will probably go to Hazard but Cesar has been working his butt off since the first minute he played under Jose. Brilliant, brilliant attitude and approach, can't ask for more.

LOL, what do people expect? Do you all think we will play amazing football and win all our games??
Give us a fucking break and just accept that 1-1 puts Chelsea in a very good position to qualfy at home!
I prefer to read the delusional Galatasaray fans trolling than to read you lot moaning...

Is this a chelsea forum?
I understand that opposition fans wanne discuss about the game but this is just ridiculous, most of them just come here to say how great they are and how much we suck.
I come here to read about my beloved club but all i see is garbage posts from people that have no intention at all to discuss in a proper way, sad realy

Shitting a brick right here with a girl in various Gala shirts singing along to Ellie Goulding songs. Welcome to Hell indeed

To those Galatasaray fans here who think we should be 'scared' of entering your stadium tonight, lets have a little look back over our history.
Where better to start than the obvious... winning 5-0 in 'hell' at the Ali Sami Yen? Or what about 'lil Dennis Wise in the San Siro, or the time we destroyed Lazio in 45 minutes in Rome? How about Wayne Bridge beating the Unbeatables at Highbury with two minutes to go, or Michael Essien sending us all wild in the Mestella? Or try remembering any other team come back from 2-0 down in the Camp Nou with ten men and Jose Bosingwa at centre-half? And if none of thats good enough for you, we've also won the biggest prize of all in the opponents back yard.
We've been told to be scared numerous times over the years, Greece, Rome and Turin, Turkey, Romania, Bulgaria, Anfield, the Nou Camp, Munich, Moscow. But we've got an uncanny knack of rising to it.
If thats what you're basing your hopes on for this tie, just don't even start dreaming of the quarter finals yet.

You Gala fans better start lubing up, otherwise Eden is going in dry.

Get ready... he is coming

I DONT ....I like the Turkish people ,, I dont like the idiots who come on here spouting shit ,, and even more despise the animals who go to their games threatening violence .
FOOTBALL is a sport ,, NOT a war ,, if you want a war ,, we are quite good at winning them as well

Just hope it doesn't derail our season. Such a stupid and daft thing to say.
