So...the title says all. What is your favourite moment about Chelsea in 2014? For me, it has to be Ba goal vs PSG. Actualy whole game becuase that was true spirit. True Chelsea AND ALSO HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YA :blue scalf: :dude: :tophat: :woo: Lots of tonight, but as long its safe. Fuck it, drink as much as you can tonight

For 25m basicaly ANY bigger team in world can sign him. Its him who will decide where he will go. Only if we offer more in january with realy good paycheck for Reus, we have chance. Summer, I somehow doubt he would join us. I think he generaly prefers spain, but we will see.

While that is true, we simply are not club who gives players many chances. Therefore even if we get him for 10m and he doesnt perform well enough, it will be wasted buy. I much prefer one quality player over 5 cheaper ones. But obv., in january Sissoko for 10m (or whatever the price) would add something different to our team for sure. Only question is if we need changes right now, or wait for better options in summer. Just pointing out, players like Schneiderlin, Sissoko or Mirallas would improve our bench big time, but Im not sure if they are starters. If we are looking for Ramires replacement, then Sissoko is fine. But if we are looking for someone to play next to Matic, its another thing. While Sissoko is good (bit inconsistent and gets lot of cards), he was never realy tested in big teams and who knows, maybe he explodes here or we will need to buy again in summer. Obv if we buy him, atm Im not sure if we are even linked with him.,..

Playing for newcastle or chelsea isnt the same thing though. He would be good bench option, but starting 11 is another thing. He isnt regular starter for france either.

Gaya is one for future for sure, but I have my reservations how he would suit in our system.

You realy changed opinion on this guy Not just how you look at him then and now, but also his history. Before he was officialy ours, you said that he isnt good enough to play here, that he dipps in form, that he isnt big game player etc. Now you say that all that was because he was playing in wrong system. Oh them girls --- I disliked him too before as a person, not realy as player (I was realy hoping we will buy him before he joined barca). And now I like him as person too. But thing is, let wait before making too big opinions on specific players. I have my reservations on him, first I want him to play at least full season here, see what we achieve and what role he plays in it. Then I will wank on him etc. He is in good form, but to say he is best transfer ever is funny IMO. Atm I rate Drogba, Lamps etc much better transfers for sheer fact of their influence in us winning stuff. ATM Cesc won nothing with us yet and I will start with this jumping on bandwagon then. I know if someone performs fantastic, your expectations grow in sky. And the bigger expectations, the bigger dissapointment. So lets just wait how he does in longer run first.

Despite quite visible trouble we have in the position, we still have three good fullbacks, but they are not making enough attacking support. And only Mou knows how long will he play Iva, where will Azpi actualy play long term and what will happen with Luis. If Mou keeps picking Iva and Azpi, there is no point in getting ANY FB right now. But if Mou will change that, I only hope we go after fast, allround fullback. Another question here is if Mou will look for RB or LB. If RB, there is only one option for me; Clyne. He was outstanding, ticks all boxes, is young, english, quite experienced, international debutant, good in defence and provides attacking options. I would love him here, he is amazing. For LB, I have no preferences than those above I mentioned.

The real test awaits now. He always had gone down in second half of season, hopefuly he keeps the form through whole year.

I hope Ramires is fit for this game. I feel we will need fresh legs. But he is not match fit so it could be problem.

I dont know if him, but I realy cant wait till we get proper right winger.

If we go for another young fullback; check Jetro Willems. Realy beasting this season. Other players I like are Alex Sandro, Rodriguez, Aurier, Kurzawa, Gaya. http://www.whoscored.com/Players/94885/Show/Jetro-Willems

still better love story than twillight

Finaly someone who agrees on that. "unlucky" isnt even excuse and people still say it. Its just so that you feel better instead of saying we were bad/uninspired/unorganised in final third. Luck is what gives edge to winners but is closely connected to those teams with winning mentality, balls, fighting spirit. It doesnt just happen out of nowhere. Maybe one game but not whole tournament. And if we will continue to being "unlucky" no fucking way we will win title. Thankfuly city drew too and its mental advantage for us because they were on winning streak and they drew easy match that was already won.

Oh and people saying we got unlucky. Luck or whatever it is called is what usualy makes difference in winning the title or not winning it. Either that or winning mentality. We lack both atm.

We were brilliant, but still made no shot on goal in second half. This and the fact we already lost 7/8 points in less than a month. Our performance was awesome, but result wasnt. And its all about results. United and City were large parts both shit when they won title, but they got results in the end. We are doing the opposite recently. One slip its OK, this is now third game away after Sunderland and newcastle where we lost points, not to mention both Manchester away games where we were leading. We had brilliant start to season, but now we have lost all advantage. Yes its bit worrying because we still have another month of Swansea, tottenham away and newcastle, city at home and yet city is winning easy even without Aguero and sometimes without Silva, Toure etc. We have to put shit together. Or we can say goodbye to title. Still top of the table and that one point advantage though

Well if we made at least one shot in second half, we might won. But if you dont shoot, you cant score. Simple as that. Grow some balls and at least try to play organised attack. It also should be pen, but if we couldnt score from open play with all those chances, its our fault. City won 3:0 there not even month ago. Arsenal and United won too, we didnt. I think we have good squad, but these games are pointing at our weak mentality and literaly useless wingers on bench who cant do shit. Willian is fucking pissing me off, Ivan and Luis too for their lack of attacking ability. But even with someone like Reus in this team, we wont have organised attack. Its on Mou to fucking fix it. Efficiency and mentality. Jesus boys grow the fuck up and do the work. Spurs away will be another fatigued game and I expect another poor performance. Hazard and Cesc were great though.

Actualy mr. Bean is the inventor

And Cahill off the mark

Costa is a monster...but I think he isnt as strong as people think. He is strong obviously, just not as much as people make him to be. Drogba was twice physical monster that can be seen in ball hold up, jumping etc... I think Costa would explode and go in fight sooner, but Iva is physicaly stronger. He can cope with any player in PL, while Costa got outmuscled against certain defenders in PL.

UNLESS he is injured, what is the point of having such players in team if Mou doesnt use them? I dont give a shit if he banged Mou daughter infront of him, as long he can benefit to the team, Mou should play him, regardless of whatever the two think of each other.

Im sure Iva would beat the shit out of Costa if those two went 1vs1.

If we manage to remain at least 3 points ahead city till 1st february, I think we will win the league. Just look at this: 28.12. Soton (a) 1.1. Spurs (a) 10.1. Newcastle (h) 17.1. Swansea (a) 20.1. & 27.1. two cup games against Liverpool 31.1. Manchester city (h) Survive this and we will probably ''walk'' the league through rest of season. Rotation will be key because fit Salah/Schurrle/Luis is better than tired Willian/Oscar/Azpi...

As long we wont be tired, we will win this.

What a game. All those little flicks and fantastic team game. Should been 4:0 at least but anyway what a great game to watch. Kudos to west ham for trying to play too.

Rushing him back from injuries too fast and on top aguero who is prone quite alot will mean that one day he will face realy long injury. What goes around comes around.
