Chelsea Legend 11

DOWNLOAD THAT SHIT!

I wonder how many people think we will defend as well as we did last year with so many going forward and with Cesc in the holding position? Its not gonna happen people, we will concede a few goals but we will also score boatloads more than last year too. Defense is about shape and our posture now is to be on the front foot.

Please don't... Mazacar was embarrassing enough

He looked in the mood today, a shame he didn't score.

Finally getting the recognition he deserves. He changed the game for me, the formation change was another Jose masterclass...

You must've bumped your head. He scored a freaking hat trick!

Said it once I'll say it again, the way we play now will leave us open at the back... Won't matter if we keep scoring for fun! DIEGO COSTA!!!!

LOVELY!

for £30k it better be!

So apparently Roman gave Nando this watch to thank him for finally fucking off.

Wasn't my intention! hahaha

YA you're right I should get a grip... anyways have you checked out the latest Karl Lagerfeld collection? ITS TO DIE FOR!

Are you not going to buy the newest kit because it has Turkish Airlines on it? LOL The badge always brings me back... Like I said earlier if Walt Disney sponsored us and the logo of the ridiculous looking castle was on the front I wouldn't care because the club's survival goes way beyond a fashion statement... For me at least. Never understood someone trying to understand the psyche of an open forum.

Oh I do want to discuss aspects of it, like how much money we'll make and whether or not we can see some sort of discount being a member of the club. Everything else is laughable... If we're negotiating with them its because they will give us the best deal possible.

this is exactly what I mean, most here should be fashion critics rather than football supporters. Who the fuck cares what logo is on the kit? Or if Jose wears a suit? or what number a certain player wears? If Turkish Airlines want to give Chelsea FC a shit ton of money to advertise on the kit so be it! You think Utd are crying over the 50m a year Chevy is giving them?

Now play Petr Cech! hahaha

Wonder what type of money he's on. Great signing glad we got him locked up.

"I think now football is finished with the number 10 role. You have to play with two wingers and one striker. And I have to do more.” Eden Hazard

Is it too much to ask for him to have the type of season Bale had for the Spuds in 2012-13? Match winner and always a threat? If he's not that than we need to temper our enthusiasm and lower the expectations. Also, those brief periods need to happen more than once or they'll be consider aberrations and not what he actually is.

Careful now this is starting to look like you're coddling him. There is nothing wrong with setting lofty goals for Eden, we all can see he's immensely talented. And I'm sorry strength of league plays no part, good players excel regardless of where they play and for however long. People hate on Bale but there is no question he is certified world class, he is a standout player on possibly the biggest club in the world. Big players assert themselves on the big stage that's where greatness is defined so yes, after Robben had a great World Cup and Eden had a poor one people will talk. And yes the same goes for Rodriguez, he is overrated but nonetheless on the biggest stage football has to offer he didn't cower or hide, he made himself known... That's what makes a player world class. Until Eden can show his immense talent on a big stage, Champions League, World Cups, Cup finals you know, the big games, he will always be considered a guy that is underachieving. There have been many occasions where you watch him play in the big games and you wonder if the occasion is getting to him. He needs to develop that killer mentality(can it be developed??) and show the hunger and desire of someone who knows they are great and doesn't want anyone to second guess that. As far as him being consistent perhaps he's being unfairly compared to the likes of Bale, Ronaldo, Suarez, Messi, Iniesta, Aguero(when healthy), Ribery(2013)? This is the level I see Hazard on, maybe I'm not being realistic? Is he not on par with these types? Are we making out to be more than he actually is? We all spoke about Ballon D'or and for me consistency along with winning major honours is what makes you a Ballon D'or candidate. If he is just another Robben then we shouldn't set such lofty heights for him but if he is indeed a special player then he needs to show a level of sustained consistency, its that simple. He's not on his own anymore and arguably not the focal point of the team either so this is the year where he needs to show exactly what quality he has. He's not a leader but that shouldn't really matter, Ronaldo isn't and neither is Messi but they do have this ability to lead by their actions on the pitch. I think Hazard is a extremely special talent, one who if he possess the right temperament, should be one of the best performers the premier league has ever seen. Right now its up to him and it could truly go either way for him, either he realizes his potential and consistently shows it or he remains inconsistent and shows flashes of immense potential until potential isn't enough anymore. Its all about the big stage, he needs to make his mark in the big ones and he really hasn't to this point.

I don't know much about Bolton sadly.

As I've been saying all year, win or lose doesn't matter I just enjoy watching this squad play week in, week out. We're at the Bridge, Swansea like to play football and do it well they'll come out and try to build on the momentum they've started with. I just can't see that being a successful game plan knowing what we have in our side. They put one over on Utd in week one(no big task), snuck a win over Burnley at home, and gave West Brom a lesson also at home. In all fairness they beat teams that were poor or in Utd's case still figuring shit out... I can't imagine a scenario where Jose allows them to dictate the tempo of the game at the Bridge and as a result I can't seeing Swansea being very effective sitting back and waiting for opportunities to exploit. Their strength is in possession and so long as we attack with purpose(which we've been doing to great effect) we should win this game. Look for Costa to start, play about 70mins and make way for Remy. Not much variation from the Everton game but Oscar comes back in for Ramires. Feeling like we should win 3-0.

Hey man, if you like I can try my hand at a preview.

In other words he paid someone to take the wrap for him.

Its always gonna be about the badge for me, no matter who the corporate sponsor is. So long as the next deal is for a shit ton of money I don't care if its Walt Disney
