We just cant fulfill the whole potential in players can we? Danny, Matic, Bruma, Moses?,...if we want to be club that involves youth players in team, we must start trusting them, not buying 30mio players like Willian instead.

And also nice football wins you many more new fans. I remember last season there was more neutral people who liked chelsea than this year! Main reason was Mata who is now on bench but as team we played more offensive though.

Personaly I dont like Barca either, but Bayern last season is example of how world class football team plays. Direct offensive football with fight to score as many goals as possible. They scored 3/4/5 goals per game on regular basis. And yes tiki taka is shit, but Bayern last year or Real Madrid in 2000s is what we should try to play. I remember that Bayern multiple problems couple seasons ago, but they improved and didnt spend realy big, I hope we can do the same.

My biggest concern is that Mou is not attacking minded coach, but Mata, Hazard etc would play best under someone who is. As for midfielder, we are over loaded in CAM/LW/RW, but we should buy hard working DM Witsel/Vidal/...instead of Willian. Hope I am wrong, but I want Chelsea to play attacking football; something nice to watch and Mou wont be able to give that. He will bring trophies etc, but for the cost of attractive game.

Im starting to doubt in decision of appointing Mou. We play defensive football He benched Mata, Azpi He didnt bought proper striker and midfielder He bought Willian for 30mio despite already having several players in that position (Kdb, Hazard, Oscar, Mata, Moses, Schurrle) He loaned out Moses and Lukaku He isnt giving Kdb enough playtime Our team looks lost in games We dont play attractive football --- I hope it was just everton game, but overall we have team that can play brilliant attacking football and Mourinho is blocking that. Why should we stop with lead 1-0 when we can score couple more?? So far, I blame Mou for not playing attractive football, not trusting our young players and benching Mata/prefering Oscar instead.

Perhaps he is just keeping him to not be too tired and gain fitness properly. Having top Mata in march-may is better than rushing him at the moment. He might seriously need break atm or sth.

I will keep my hopes until he proves it on pitch as many strikers in past years couldnt and were expected to... But Im looking forward to see him, however I have little expectations from him and hopefuly he will surprise me for once after several striker dissapointments...

Matic is quality player but will need to prove in better league first to be worth 40mio. I would however take Witsel/Pogba or DDR ahead of him atm.

I remember when Ozil joined Rm right after fantastic world cup and I thought he is going to be their best player for next 10 years after Ronaldo...shame that they sold him.As for Willian, he is good but no where near good as Ozil, talent/experience wise. I hope he surprises me, but 30mio was too much especialy because I dont see him as starter here (I prefer Mazacar). Ozil was just 10mio, absolute bargain when Rm bought him.

Hazard + Willian = WIZARD

Real are such clowns...100mio for most overrated player and they sell Ozil who was the most creative player in the world for past 3 years in Europe...well done

Fuck why the hell would someone pay 37mio for a player that plays in position where we have 5 very good players already? I rather offer this money for Pogba, Vidal, Witsel, Lewa,...in case one would want to join us.

Basicaly only Stekelenburg (who was replaced with Sanctis), Osvaldo and Marquinhos left...Gervinho, Maicon, Strootman, Benatia arrived. Think they have better team than last year.

If he wont play big role under Mou, he will leave I think...and he is too good to let him go, as footballer and person.

Many people here praise the creativity of our midfielders, but so far they failed to deliver to our strikers. Torres, Drogba, Ba, Sturridge and Lukaku look rather invisible...Should our team play on striker (like ManU), our strikers would be much more effective. More balls to them, more touches, more chances, more goals. Conversation ratio would get better and better. Sure, Torres is special case and Drogba was rather old, but there is no excuse for Ba who was on fire when he joined us, Danny who is scoring regulary for Lpool or Lukaku who made 17 goals last year, but I feel he wont get close to that number this season. Our team play in midfield with ''everyone can score'' is great, but our main striker is very isolated in such game. Rooney would include regulary in such play and wouldnt be as invisible, but his goal count wouldnt be that high I feel. 10 Rooney, 10 Mata, 10 Hazard, 5 Oscar, 5 Ramires,...our goals would be very split. If we play on one player (Hazard or striker) instead of everyone can be striker, our main striker (or Hazard) would have goal tally of 20+. So we will either get Rooney type who will get involved with midfield or powerful world class striker who will score on every 2 chance he gets (very unlikely). Or our striker will be basicaly useless...wish we had Rvp in all honesty. that would be one uber beast team...or a player who can decide match on his own. Mazacar rely on each other too much and when one of three is missing, Torres/Ba fucks whole attack up...

Benteke is realy growing as a striker...he has great eye for goal and fear factor that Lukaku is still lacking and making him somehow invisible in games at CFC. Wait one year with striker and then get Benteke if he brings great season at Villa. However Rooney fits better to this team, Mazacar just doesnt work with big powerful strikers like Ba, Drogba or Lukaku. Rooney can create on his own, finish from distance and makes top passes to Mazacar, making assists if he cant score by himself. Same as Rvp, Lewa, Aguero, Suarez,...

But he is Eddie now

Should stay in Psv for two more seasons and then we will see...

He is cunt but top striker and young. But the transfer wont happen unless we offer 50mio or sth...

I think that Bale would improve Real, but he is never worth 90mio... Anything more than 60 is ridiculous.

There will never be such player in Chelsea for a long time. Lampard is Chelsea. English legend, best club scorer and top personality. We might have Mata, Hazard, Oscar, but even if they win balon dor, I couldnt ever rate them above Lamps. Frank is everything that Chelsea represents, his thinking, his play show that he is one of last top english players playing for our club. Raul is true Real legend, Ronaldo who is better player than Raul ever was replaced him, but RM fans dont even think of consider him bigger legend than Raul. Lampard is our Raul. Legend through and through. It was privilege to watch Frank for all these years and the day when he retires should never come. Time is ruthless, but memory cant be deleted and Lamps will be forever in our hearts, no time will erase that. (special thanks for computer and Tv existance, so that I can watch Franks's best moments again and again)

Torres is 29 already, even if he ever breaks his mental block and starts scoring, it wont take long, the body wont allow at age 30+... With all that shit going on around him, whenever I watch him, I never think that he is almost 30...When Terry and Cole were 29 o was actualy sad because I knew they are not young anymore and time cant be stopped...while with Torres...i dont realy care.

We dropped tempo and ball possesion in second half, but overall brilliant performance. Ramires was awesome, he could turn into one of best DM/CM players with regular plays like today. Oscar was top aswell, Hazard needs to be more central figure of team though. Just think how good we will be with Luiz and Mata. And possibly Rooney. Todays Mom for me was Lamps, whenever he scores such a beauty (those are getting rarer and rarer), he simply must get Mom award. Legend.

He is way too young to be leader ala Lampard, Ballack etc, but at the moment Strootman is that guy in NT. If we didnt want De Rossi, why we never made offer for Strootman instead? Ginkel still looks very raw and too young to lead midfield. He is not solution for our midfield this season (hope Im wrong)

Some people dont undertand that you cant have 23 world class players in one team. And when Cahill, Mikel, Essien,...dont play ala Messi, those people go nuts. You guys expected that Cahill is next Terry, Mikel is next Makelele etc. Sorry, but as soon these people only play decent, they dissapoint you and you stress anger in this way by slating them. I fear Lukaku will be the same case for sometime before (if) he becomes top player.
