The fuck? Sagna? Grenier was poor for lyon this year. Also where is Pogba? And Kurzawa will probably get ahead of Digne too. -----------Lloris----------- No idea-Zouma-Varane-Kurzawa -Pogba-Schneiderlin?-Imbula- ---Thauvin-Lacazette-Griz---

I usualy dislike going park the bus mode vs bigger teams, usualy criticize Mou if we play that way, but today was ABSOLUTELY understandable we played that way. Key offensive players out, tired players after pool game and also tacticaly reasonable, knowing we had 5 point lead. Dont know how can people not understand that. Our players are not robots.

You know something again that we dont?

Im 99% that we havent announced because we will get another player and they will be annonced together. Two out two in.

Matic and even Azpi have been questionable in few games now. Before they were our most consistent performers. We need them at their best in second half. I wont even go on about Iva...

Zouma is more exception than rule IMO.

I know its hard to prove yourself when you play once every two months. But thats not my point. My point is that youngsters will get that only chance and they have to take it however they can. KDB didnt.

He got games in league cup, where he didnt prove himself. If you think Chelsea and Mou will give several games to players to prove themselves, you are wrong. As much as I wish they would sometimes, it wont ever happen. Same with Salah, Lukaku, KDB, Schurrle,...they will probably play great at one point in their career, but to succeed here, they get one two games and its up to them how they play. Not fair, but it is as it is. A youngster here will only succeed if he plays out of the world or other players facing injury problems/serious lack of depth.

Maybe I wasnt clear enough, he wasnt crap crap, but certainly not what was expected. After his very positive preseason, he had few shit games and he deserved to be benched. But its Mou fault to not give him more chances eventualy, indeed. All that said, he is amazing technical attacking midfielder with great pass for goal, but he is not as dynamic as Oscar and wouldnt suit in high pressing system we play. He might run alot, but our Cesc runs alot too. Its a stat that means shit. Just because these guys jog around the pitch all the time, doesnt mean they actualy track up and down, chase the ball, throw themselves on it to get it from opponent. Oscar is much more dynamic in that aspect. Wont say KDB is bad at defending, but certainly wouldnt cut it here under Mou game, simple as that. He is top attacking player though, twice more creative than Oscar.

De Bruyne was kinda crap here too. Doesnt mean he cant improve with regular time in Wolfsburg.

Personaly, I wouldnt betray a good friend I know for just a few months, even less a whole club with millions of fans after playing for them for 13 years. Lamps realy starts to pissing me off with his move to City, full of lies and then going on to the media like EVERYTHING is perfect. I mean he still talks like he is one of us, but today he will do anything to win against us. Prick.

30m euros or pounds?

I realy hope Bayern offers high bid for Kdb and Wolfsburg says no in their face. Its absolute disgrace how bayern use their financial domination to sign every rival best players. Hopefuly wolfsbourg can now compete with bayern financialy.

At 35 he might calm down abit. Doubt though, its Zlatan we talk about.

For info biggest number in PL was worn by Pozo from city (#78) in 2014. Apparently new rules in EPL allow numbers from 1-99

Who said miracles? But I would expect you to know that for certain players having specific number means alot, and they play with more confidence wearing that number...

Gary for president of FA!

If it makes him more confident and performs better, why bother?

Been thinking that, but he spend his best years in tottenham, maybe he was more quality, but certainly not more important for the club IMO.

Reading some tweets, certain people are very convinced about his qualities, even going far saying he will be better dribbler than Hazard...time will tell. It would be nice to have player on each side who can beat opponent. Cuadrado has pace and dynamic, usefull abilities for wing too. Welcome Juan!

His number HAS to be retired when he retires. Been here all these years, will end career here, has all the respect for us, blue through and through. Team player, who loves this club, proper leader and legend. Youth product who actualy made it here. He is best thing we EVER produced. Maybe Drogba scored more goals, Lamps made more assists, but Terry is our lad. Started here at chelsea and on path to finish it too. 26 is not some big number, but its clear as day, it belongs to Terry. I realy hope we retire it. He deserves as respect in the world.

He will be around 35 when he leaves PSG, but if we will need third striker with plenty of experience, I think Mou might try to get him. For age 33, he is still playing way above level of other strikers at that age, so maybe when he is 35, he will still be good (though it has to be said, his recent injury cost him alot of form).

I dont watch him much, but from whoever I heard or read, it said Hamsik is playing SHIT since 2014. He was good before, I remember from CL too, but last year I heard only bad comments on him. Apparently one of worst Napoli players (considering expectations and they say that he as captain is bad leader aswell) http://soccerlens.com/marek-hamsik-struggled-napoli-rafa-benitez/156983/ just one of several reports on his drop in form. But its whole Napoli that is shit these years, they played much better under Mazzari and their three tenors. Would never want him here, and even less for 30m. Rather spend 40m on Koke if thats the case.

Yeah and Suarez teeth fallen on Chiellini arm by accident. I agree he should not be punished because it cant be proven that it was on purpose, but if you have at least bit objectivity, Can stamp was intentional. Diego is dirty player, obviously he did that on purpose. Besides most chelsea fans watched the game and made conclusion. They didnt "listen to what Redknapp said or mail published". It doesnt make you less chelsea fan because you see things as they are. I will defend Costa for obvious reasons, like the fact it cant be proven, fa are cunts and many players escaped their punishment, so should Costa. But cant defend him in Can stamp case. Im not that biased. He is our cunt but still cunt. I like what he did, but its "wrong" anyway you look at it.

I think we could completely destroy them tbh. We play at home, they have no Yaya, they played like shit vs boro, aguero is out of form, kompany not at best either. They will go all attack and we could demolish them on counter if we have good day. But no Costa its going to be bit harder. However I think Mou will go extra careful and the score will be low, one goal difference or draw.
