Interview with NextGen. On a side point it's the first time I've heard him speak, was hoping for some Scottish-African hybrid, can definitely hear the Somalian twang
-
Kevin De Bruyne is in the top 5 in the Bundesliga for assists (8), key passes (66) & accurate crosses (57) this term.

IMO Baker is underrated. Last season I was a bit meh on him, while he was clearly a good footballer he never really took charge of a midfield, passing was inconsistent. He's improved his game a lot since then. Mentally he seems to have grown too (has started demanding the ball when the team is losing, and was captain in Kane/Saville/Chalobah's absence today). He has had an excellent season, as good as Boga and Feruz, Someone else who I think is underrated is Blackman. Made some very good saves today. He is nowhere near Courtois, obviously, but he will still be a good 'keeper. Almost ridiculous how quick his reactions are for such a tall 'keeper. Those combined explains why he saves a fair few penalties. -
Billy Clifford assist for Colchester. Behind the more big names who have been domestically loaned he has been good in this loan so far.
-
If Courtois spends one more season at Atletico, that is it, due to La Liga rules you can't be loaned for more than 3 consecutive seasons I believe, so if Lukaku is at Atletico during 14/15 he will be under contract to them.

Steve Clarke travels to Holland to watch Chelsea loan defender Tomas Kalas play for Vitesse: Steve Clarke... http://t.co/293RcNFLMY Wouldn't do him bad staying at Vitesse at the rate they're improving (probably be in CL next season and if not they'll definitely be in Europa), but WBA would also be good to give him that PL experience.
-
Mikel is a very underrated player. Glad he got that new contract earlier in the season, he'll be here a long time,
-
Apologies, we're both wrong. He did not start that match but he did come on as a substitute.
-
AVB did use him, gave him his debut very early on in his Chelsea career, came off the bench against Arsenal and United and started against Fulham and Liverpool in the Carling Cup. I also like RDM and think he shouldn't have been sacked of course, but under RDM Lukaku was not a part of any matchday squad, even in the FA Cup for games like Leicester, until the last game of the season when everything was set in stone for the league.
-
@SchmidtXC: Full time for De Bruyne. 5 shots, 2 on target, an assist, goal-line clearance, and 82% passing. Very, very good game. I agree if he doesn't come back he must go to a better team than Bremen. Ideally in Europa League or even CL.
-
Bremen would be interesting as he'd probably play where KDB plays in a free, box to box midfield role. Thorgan said he sees himself more as a deeper CM so that would be a good stepping stone to getting there. I would definitely like to see more of him, sounds like he's had a good season.
-
There was a bit I seemed to miss during the game, it was towards the end and apparently Torres just gave up on a pass/had poor body language? What happened?
-
Walters got two own goals didnt he? Torres has only scored once in 2013, and 1 goal in his last 18. It was against Brentford.

Billy Clifford fined for being late at Colchester, donates it to club supporters' association: http://t.co/KbWXBm4bsM.

WAGNH: Be patient with Josh McEachran http://t.co/zdwVqRYeET
-
Zola rested him (he often does for midweek games which is quite smart/responsible, doesn't want to burn Chalobah out), but Watford found themselves 1-0 down HT. Chalobah comes on at the beginning of the second half, and Watford win 2-1.. https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CDAQtwIwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DIRoh62wRgkc&ei=V-k2UdnKNM6rPLimgYAG&usg=AFQjCNGMfkhO34AKT1xDTYSJB-aSsZPWgw&sig2=0_i1tKosrfxrjl9kS9pzGw

Nice to see him back. The future looks quite unpredictable for him though.

@Sportive23_: Nigeria International Kenneth Omeruo, 19 was a 2005 graduate of G.S.S Gwarinpa, Abuja. That means he finished High School at the age of 12 Suggests he's either a genius..or lying about his age. Or whoever is tweeting is lying.

http://www.regista-blog.com/2013/02/chalobah-a-new-hope-for-chelsea/ Blog post from a Watford fan, also rated him very highly,
-
Saw a tweet saying it was not one of his best, apparently a lot of his tackles were fouls.
-
Sako goal
-
I liked in the first half when he dropped to CB sometimes, was marshalling the defence and instructing players around him to get in line.
-
Chalobah off 80th minute, pretty good from him. Not at his influential best.
