Ba Hazard mata ramires Luiz lamp Cole cahil iva azpi I really hate rami as holding and he can help stopping gibbs from overloading azpi.

Our team was built around lampard for a couple years and lampard played his favorite position (advanced mf). Our current team is no longer built around him, it is up to lampard to adapt his game to suit our new team.

I doubt reasonable fans think that way. We were absolutely awful last year, we were probably in the contest of the worst champions of Europe ever. In term of our standing on the table we are fine but we have missed so many chances to get more points. My expectation this season was to challenge for EPL not to win but to challenge but right now top 4 is more reasonable.

I have just finished watching game and there are a few point that I notice: Hazard and Mata partnership is getting betterDid I just see Torres on the right wing and Cahil play as striker ?We really miss mikel/romeu, because none of ramires/lampard feels comfortable play holding.

I don't like when fans booing their own players but as long as they have a ticket they have the right to do so. For me as long as they don't start throwing stuff at players or show offensive banner, I have no problem.

I really want to see how Martinez perform with better team. I was hoping he got Liverpool job, before BR got it.

Lol I was not arguing with you, that was an additional opinion

The thing is next season we are going to get another midfielder to play that DPL role (I really hope so). if we get one probably lampard will still have role to play next season. If we get two then lampard role will become very limited.

To be honest, that stats does not mean much when you consider pivot position. It's more of how you dictate the tempo, your passing (not just assist), etc

Oscar is not a winger at all. On the wing either you have to be really fast, a very good dribbler or a good crosser. He is neither one of those.

I watched oscar a couple times in Olympic. He was played as no 10

The more important question is who is available out there as interim?

I am afraid this is going to happen. Against stoke, Ramires played well as holder. That is just impossible.

For you guys who watched the game. How was lampard + ramires partneship in the middle ?

LOL, as long as you have a ticket to watch the game, fans should be allowed to do whatever they want (within rules). and blaming fans for our result is just ridiculous

With this squad it is worse

Wow are u rafa fans ? It is really hard to find a chelsea fans that is also rafa fan

I believe early in the season mou said that carvalho is not part of his plan and he should leave

He is building a very good team. I doubt he want to leave dortmund next season

Wow we really have no option. I am not sure who is out there. - Klopp, he is building a good team in dortmund, he is not coming. - Simeone, a somewhat defensive coach. - mou. I think he is going to go to city if he leaves in the summer Lol we are stuck with benitez

I agree that his signing has been terrific. I just want to point out that Pellegrini did a good job and the squad was not dysfunctional. Mourinho team is better but he has the benefit of adding of ozil,khedira and coentrao to a very good squad.

I am a little bit confused why are we comparing zidane and lampard. First you are comparing 2 different players. If you want technical ability even frank will take zidane over himself. If you want a player who defend better even zidane will take lampard over himself

I don't agree with this ", it was just a load of expensive parts that weren't working". Pellegrini did a decent job with the squad in his only season in RM. Mourinho took over a great squad and brought in di maria and coentrao (2 more expensive signing). They only won copa in Mourinho first season.

I have no problem hazard leaving Chelsea like cr7 leaving Manu as long as the transfer fee is the same (80 m pound)

I really cannot imagine how team that has so many great players like Madrid can struggle big time like this.
