If Umbro offers good money I would take them over Nike tbh. Really liked their shirts when they were our kit designer. They were also able to produce 3 amazing kits every season. Adidas always made atleast one terrible shirt per season except in 06/07.

Under a strict trainer and in a good environment he would thrive like in Dortmund. He is certainly worth the gamble.

Yeah I know what you mean. But we actually had a 'soul' when Abramovich was here from 2003-2013 I would say. The growing distance between fans and players is sadly the direction world football has taken.

I would prefer Puma over Under Amour. I mean the brand isn't bad and their sport shirts are quality, but I think they suit 'smaller' teams like Spurs better.

If so he should have dumped her and stayed at BVB. I just hate Bayern, even in Austria their fans are super-arrogant. Was so happy when Drogba destroyed their "Finale-dahoam".

And he was the guy who criticized Gotze for going to Bayern three years ago. Seems like the bavarian money turned his head too.

I can't even imagine the likes of Oscar and so on doing the same for us.

Back then our team had a soul. Nowadays it's the opposite and I am not even half as much sad when we would lose a big game, because I cannot really feel with our current crop of players.

How do you exactly know that he doesn´t "love" the fans? I always thought he is very passionate about this club. He has always been in the background, which is not bad at all for us. I don´t understand why you criticize him for celebrating our trophies with his family. What else should he do? Do you expect him to show up in a local pub near Stamford Bridge drinking beer with some strange supporters? And for the Sheiks, it´s a bit contradicting when you say Roman doesn´t care for the fans when the Sheiks of City or PSG are even more alien for the supporters I suppose. I understand it when people are angry at Romans "yes- men" at our club, who have too much power, but without his financial help we wouldn´t have won half as many trophies in the last ten years.

I know it is impossible to get him but if there is a striker I would exchange with Costa it is Aguero. He is a complete striker and a wonderful player to watch. Great goal against Cech.

Surely we should buy new quality midfielders and Mikel shouldn´t be in the position to start every game, especially when we are playing with 2 in the middle of the park, but he isn´t that bad to have as a squad player. We can´t sell every player of our team and he is still useful when we have to park the bus against the likes of Norwich in the dying minutes. He is reliable coming from the bench and proved this countless times. If he wants to stay and is willing to accept a part time role ( say 15 games per season, primarily as a sub ) I have no problem with him staying at all.

Last time we had a nice home shirt was in 13-14. 14-15 was worse,but not too bad. This years shirt looks weird and our next shirt is just rubbish and a disgrace from adidas.

I got so angry when he overlooked Hazard in the 2 vs 3 situation. He lacks a little bit of football IQ sometimes, but still he put in a good performance today and showed fighting spirit.

Hazard played a very well first half season in our 14/15 campaign, but as I said Matic and others played very well too, so it wasn't that obvious for people to see how good Hazard actually played. Afterwards the form of our other star players dipped, but Hazard remained on good form and scored many important goals to push us over the finish line in our title 'race'.

I will never understand why some people claimed Matic was the main reason we won last season's title. He played very well until January, but so were Fabregas, Oscar and Costa as well. Hazard on the other hand carried us all season, especially from New Year on when we started to play bad again. I hope he will reach the heights of last season again, if he plays like tonight he is very capable to do it.

We need a new core of quality players who will fight for the club no matter what. Something we had in Lampard,Terry, Cole, Essien, Drogba and so on for years. Since 2012 we seriously lack this kind of characters in our team.

Not good enough for Mourinho. [emoji1]

I have to say I don't think he is that good going forward. Matic can't even use his right foot to save his life which makes him extremely one dimensional and predictable. His lack of stamina is also limiting him big time. Not to mention that his shooting isn't that good in my opinion.

Ok, thanks for the info!

Didn't know he is half-Indonesian. I really hope he can fulfill the expectations, if so we could pair him with another good DM and give Fabregas more freedom going forward.

If not for him we would have conceded even more goals. Finally a good performance for a change.

Going by that no one from our squad should actually start.

Why does Guus take Pedro off? He was by far our best player today.

Another player that Mourinho completely ignored for no reason. We had the best LB in our squad but Mou insisted to play Azipilicueta out of position so he can play Ivanovic at RB. We all know how well that worked out this season. And if we just kept him we wouldn't had to overpay for a 21 year old unproven guy from a german midtable club.

Courtois is finally dropped for a game atleast.
