Forgot about Terry? Banned!

Jose Mourinho requests fans arrive early for Tuesday night’s game against Real Sociedad to welcome the players onto the pitch ahead of the new season

Of course if you compare the two, playing Hazard as the No.10 and giving him a free role sounds like the sanest of ideas but you are still effectively doing the same thing by doing that - telling all the other 10 (or 9) players to do the dirty work and giving one a free role. On its own, think you know why Hazard hasn't been played much at all in the No.10 role under Mourinho and if he's going to trust Hazard and give him a free (or freer) role in the team, never mind the position he's playing in, then he needs to be more consistent and influential in matches first.

And we have 999 guests viewing the forum right now. WTH is going on???

Hazard may be on another level compared to Mata but it's still practically doing the same thing. The latter was still devastating in his own way we played him as the No.10.

Not a bad goal. Not bad at all. And this thread is rather quiet...

I don't want to bring up the comparison but didn't people complain about that when RDM, Benitez did the same with Mata..?

Decent performance against Ferencvaros. Great goal from Fabregas but Mourinho really needs to sort out the defence, even if our usual backline didn't play together today. Been giving away cheap goals!

Apologies for the delay..

Great! So that means we have Skippy, Jake, The Flash, Harry, Lucio, Choo Choo, Strike, Greg and myself. 9 should be fine though I wouldn't mind if more volunteer. Anyway, thanks for volunteering and will get in touch soon. :eyebrows: Does that mean you won't be able to do it this year?

Mourinho tells Ferdinand before the season’s kick-off why he loves English football even more now, where Cesc Fabregas fits in to his Chelsea plan and why he can never replace Frank Lampard.

Chelsea now have the power and strength to win Premier League, says Gary Neville

The former. First half vs Fenerbahce. Second half vs Besiktas.

Well true but think that is another issue if we want to talk about the way UEFA handles such matter, no?
