Stats

Isco is an AM though. Jese is an outstanding talent but not as good as Hazard and I still think he will be used as a rotation player for next few years. Same with Isco. If Ronaldo was to leave it is possible they could have Hazard, James and Bale in one team. That would be devastating but hopefully Hazard is here for the next few years.

His head is so up Thiago's arse that he cannot see that Barca tried to get Fabregas for 2-3 seasons running. Fabregas committed himself to Arsenal for at least another season and it was inevitabe that he would end up at Barca. Barcelona made so much effort to get back Fabregas. Sometimes Nike just comes out with pure rubbish.

Fair enough but do you reckon if us and Arsenal both offered Reus contract that he would choose Arsenal? I am not sure. We obviously can outsmucle them financially plus have a better team and he probably feels he would get more trophies here. He could easily do the same as Hazard.

I said you have tinted eyes because you could not see that Sterling is actually very strong despite his physical appearance. You then made the 'racist' comment and said "he is calling me Chinese now". How can you make a reference to racism when you have just mentioned Chinese with reference to the tinted eyes. You mentioned China not me. That can be considered racism. You are not really smart are you?

Grow up..... You just realised you made a racist comment saying that right? Pathetic.

You have tinted eyes. Sterling is not frail. He has amazing strength and balance for a player his size. Clueless.

Dzeko? While he is not as good as Aguero, if he is injured Dzeko is more than capable of scoring goals. They can play 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 so if Aguero is injured they would line up in a 4-2-3-1. His stats prove that he is a goalscorer. Dzeko is better than Remy and Drogba right now. Remy is a very good striker but not as good as Dzeko.

Against City when Liverpool won 3-2 he was the MOTM and was a constant threat to their team for the whole game and opened the scoring with a very well taken goal. When Liverpool beat Arsenal 5-1 wasn't he awarded the MOTM as well? Either way he terrorised their defence for the whole game and scored 2 goals. So in reality he has performed in some big games already.

They won the game in the end of the day. Naivety was probably an issue as well thinking the game was handed to them once Aguero scored. When Silva is fit and they have their act together they are truly our no.1 title contenders. No doubt about that.

So is Luis tbh.

You can say the same for when we played City. They had 10 men and were playing better than us. Same scenario albeit we dropped points.

Mata is definitely a set peice expert. Puts the right weight, spin and pace on the ball.

His has been mixed tbh. Some open play and set peices. -Assist for Matic against Sporting Lison from free-kick. -Assist for Diego Costa against Swansea for the header. -Assist for Ivanovic against Burnley from corner. -Assist for Drogba against United from corner. So tbh his general delivery so far this season has been quite good if you consider the returns. He has managed a few assists through open play and assists.

Also most of Gerrard's assists were mainly all from set peices if not all of them.

Brown is different tbh. He is only 17 and you can't realistically expect him to play in our first team for now. Brown is a top talent but he is not any where near ready for our first team yet and unlike Baker, this is is a totally different issue tbh. Baker is a couple years older and has been playing U21/reserve level for around 3 seasons now. Brown on the other hand has only been playing with our U18 team but this season is a full member of the U21. It will be a while till we see him play for the first team in a competitive fixture I assume unless there is an injury crisis.

We can't have that sort of naivety. Fabregas is a smart man. He will know the implications of getting a yellow card so I am sure he will be extra cautious. Yes, it is a game where we should win but we can't just turn up thinking a win is guaranteed. They are likely to try and contain us and without Fabregas, creating holes through their team will prove a little difficult if he is not playing. This game is our first priority. Go 8 points ahead and hope United get a point/win against City. We will be dominating possession anyway so I am hopeful Fabregas won't do anything silly to get himself booked.

Scored to put his team 1-0 up against Frankfurt in their cup match. Boy has been given a start and he has taken it. Way to go.

He would have been a sub anyway. Last 2 games he has been dropped as he has been god damn awful this season. QPR also kept a clean sheet last game against Villa so he would have been warming the bench anyway.

Posted that in one football forum. Can't remember the exact place but I copied and pasted that and he is one of the most reliable youth sources for us.

The thing is with Baker is he has been excelling in our youth teams for a while now. Was named our young player of the year last season and was simply fantastic, recording around 18 goals. Early next year he will be 20 with probably only one appearance for the first team. Baker has done tremendously well and deserves a chance more than most imo. When will he be trusted to play? At the age of 23+? I was just reading the chelsea youth twitter page and the writer seems to definitely be annoyed about the situation. Baker has met every objective asked of him but for him to hardly have a look in disappointing. Have a look at the comments. Not just you but members in general. This is what he also said in another forum. Same write of chelsea youth: "I know it was pre-season and therefore much harder to read into these things but this squad beat Wycombe 5-0; Wycombe were much closer in their preparations to their start of season readiness and have since looked like promotion contenders of a similar standard to Shrewsbury. Schwarzer (Beeney), Kane (Zouma), Ake (Ivanovic), Chalobah (Terry), Christensen (Dasilva), Romeu (Houghton), Swift (Matic), Baker (Boga), Van Ginkel (Salah), Bamford (Brown), Piazon (Solanke) Nobody's expecting a complete U21 team but if Baker can't get a look after passing every test asked of him to date, when can he? Boga was told an hour before the first team left that he wouldn't be travelling as initially planned, that sort of **** sucks the life out of a player. Chalobah's another who's completely fed up with the way things have gone, don't be surprised if he pushes for a permanent departure next summer."

Boga was so impressive in our pre-season games. He showed so much promise and I think these sort of games he would thrive. I would rather see him in that no.10 role tonight than Oscar. Boga has got that swagger about him that no matter who he plays he is willing to just cut holes through the opposition. We all got our hopes up that after seeing how good Boga was in pre-season he had a chance of featuring in the first team this season but it was never realistic and is not going to happen unfortunately.

Everytime I see Zouma play I keep thinking he is Demba Ba. They look so alike. Got a striking resemblence.

I was watching Academy Focus on Chelsea TV yesterday and Steve Holland was talking about how useful a learning curve it is for the likes of him, Ake and Christensen to be training with the first team on a daily basis, even if it means they are not playing. That is fair enough and I know Mourinho said in his pre-match conference that Baker has a long way to go but has the required potential, however the best way for young players is to learn ffs. The way to develop young players is by playing them as well. This is the perfect game. I mean he is young but he is not no 17 year old. He will be 20 next year without hardly any first team experience. It is good he has signed a new contract and that but how long is it going to be before he gets fed up? Hopefully Mourinho does have big plans for him.

Good thing I take about Drogba starting is that it indicates Costa will be ready to start against QPR and hopefully Remy will be back soonish as well. Regarding the youth, this is why I struggle to see how some of our top talents who actually came through thr youth system will make it. Baker has been outstanding in our youth and has been made a first team member but was unused sub against Bolton and can't even start against Shrewsbury. Like seriously I get that Mourinho wants the job done but how are talents like Baker going to make it if he can't be trusted to start games like this? Just don't understand.

Short tika-tika passing, Busquets is better. Long-range passing, Matic is better by far but who possesses the better passing range? Matic of course. Matic long range passing is really underrated. Look at Salah's goal against Arsenal last season for instance. Excellent vision and passing range. Would have Matic over Busquets all day long. Not even a debate for me.
