Let's not forget, Schurrle can score goals. He may not have the greatest of games but he knows where the goal is. Showed that quality during his time here, which has proved crucial on several occasions.

True but when he did get the ball, he didn't exactly do much with ut, did he?

Moses might be erratic and dodgy on the ball but I swear to God, he looks more threatening with it than Willian. The latter is so predictable on the ball - it's either he will try to do his silly stepovers and if they don't work (which it's the case almost all the time), he will just pass it backwards to someone else. Doesn't even try to force the issue and create danger in/around the opposition's penalty area.

It's depressing every time you think about it. Schurrle may not have been great but he was nowhere as bad and useless as Cuadrado.

What's the point? You can't even ban people...

I'm guessing it's because of the post-season tour we had in June.

- 3 defeats and 2 draws. I know it's pre-season but that is depressing, even more so when we hardly put in any really good performances and/or did anything different. - Again, I know it's pre-season and the players have probably been told not to exert themselves with the league game coming up on Saturday but the performance tonight was dreadful, especially when the first XI was on the pitch. Every time we come up against a half decent team, we can't sustain pressure and/or even create many chances and it was no different against Fiorentina. - Thought Aina, Loftus-Cheek, Traore and Moses (he seriously looks more threatening on the ball than Willian) were decent. Cuadrado was the worst performer on the pitch. Sooner or later, he's likely to win the honour of 'Worst Chelsea Player in History'. - Highlights of the pre-season - Courtois saving and scoring the penalty against PSG and Zouma nearly killing someone.

MY GOD! CUADRADO IS FUCKING DREADFUL!! :doh: Take some doing to be even worse than Torres.

Kick off in 15 minutes. Last chance to get into the top 4 - need the 3 points & a 5-goal margin victory. #NoPressure

Suspect some of them will come on in the second half.

Jose Mourinho must build a Chelsea dynasty if he's to be an all-time great

More stupid sensationalism from Daily Mail.

21 in all competitions - 20 in league, 1 in Capital One Cup.

True and Mourinho is the only manager under Abramovich to have managed the club beyond 2 consecutive seasons.

Baba Rahman has agreed personal terms with the Blues, confirms agent Only need both clubs to agree on a fee now...

It goes hand-in-hand in some ways and we all know the FFP isn't going to be enforced after what UEFA did with the rules few months ago.

It's not an excuse. It's a factor for our lack of transfer activity. Ever since the FFP came out, the club have been keen on complying to the rules, controlling our spending, which is fair but it has gotten till the point of handicapping ourselves.

Still better than this though...
