Biggest culprit for the the QPR goal. I really have no idea what he was thinking. When Courtois palms the ball away he's 2 metres away from the player that ends up giving the assist. Instead of moving towards him he just casually jogs towards the penalty spot. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x293rcm_charlie-austin-goal-chelsea-1-1-qpr-01-11-2014-premier-league-hd_sport

Think you need to watch it again. That's a penalty all day long. Clear shove in the back of Hazard and Vargas also gets his leg tangled up in Hazard's legs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhQd00iqdlA

Hazard's goal vs Maribor is a contender for UCL goal of the week. Going up against Neymar, Robben, Ronaldo and Reus. http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/goal-of-the-week/index.html#2171047 Click on the link above if you wanna see the goals.

Apparently he also tried to have sex with 1 of her best friends. "Naiana called her older sister to tell her about Costa's attempted dalliances, which led Michele to ring a childhood friend to tell her what had happened, only to discover that dirty Diego had tried it on with her too!

He's not married. He was dating Michele Zuanne but she claims he tried to bed her sister and therefore broke up with him.

‘He had initiative. He’s showing that in big matches – to take responsibility, to get the ball and try to create. He did it in the first half and he did it in the second. I am so happy with the kid. He’s another one who, believe me, is improving.’ (Mourinho after Man United game on Hazard.) http://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2014/10/final-whistle-verdict.html

Again ?

Ffs. Next month when Spain call up Costa again we should just tell them to fuck off. Second time we've gotten him back injured.

It is disrespectfull though. Still don't understand how some people think it's not. There isn't any valid reason for him leaving early and the "fuck it, he's Mourinho. He can do what he wants" isn't a valid reason. Now do i think Keane is really the best person to be talking about respect in football ? NO, I do not.

Easy to answer. I think the majority of the Chelsea fans consider Hazard and Oscar to have bigger potential then Schurrle so people are more inclined to defend them and give them time. Though the main culprit for all the exaggerated criticism is the World Cup. Don't know what it is about the WC but everybody just goes batshit crazy. The expectations people had for Schurrle after the WC were just ridiculous. Suddenly half the forum changed their favorite player to Schurrle and had a picture of him as their avatar and everyone was convinced that he was gonna cement that right wing position. Schurrle is good player but he's not a player you can depend on to start for 40-50 games a season and do great. Maybe when he gets a bit older but for now he's a super sub.

"Fucking great."

Euhm.. am i missing something here ? Why exactly are so many people convinced he has attitude problems ? As far as i know the only thing he's "guilty" of is refusing to sign a contract extension and PSV then responded by giving him the "Malouda" treatment.

100 % agree with that, but some people on here really do need to realise that criticizing Mourinho's tactics or "moaning" about him leaving 5 minutes before a game doesn't mean we dislike Mourinho. You can like a person, a manager but disagree with his tactics and/or something he's done like say leave 5 minutes before a game. There seems to be this mindset by some people on here that unless you agree with everything Mourinho does you're not a real fan or you want him to get fired. I like Mourinho. I hope he stays here for a long time. Even if he would end up not winning anything this year (or the year after that for that matter) i would still want him to stay but i have some criticism about his tactics and i find it disrespectfull that he leaves 5 minutes before the game ends. It's unnecessary and annoying. Alex this isn't really directed at you but at the people that have been moaning about the moaning.

Fabregas and Costa are great players but i really think you're vastly underestimating Hazard's impact on the team. Take Hazard out of the team and you're going to see a big drop, performance wise.Fabregas is an excellent passer of the ball but he's not fast nor a good dribbler making him easy to press and not allowing him to turn and orchestrate our attacks. Costa is an awesome striker. He offers us some well needed grinta upfront but at the end of the day a striker is only as good as the support he gets. It's funny how you belittle Hazard but it's usually Hazard's driving runs that give Fabregas the time and space to work his magic.(best example Burnley away, Schurlle goal) Hell sometimes it's even just the fear of him cutting inside that takes all the attention leaving Fabregas to make the overlapping run and be left in acres of space. I don't really understand why you find it so ridiculous and hard to believe that some people consider Hazard to still be our best player. It's very much down to peoples opinion and how they rate certain qualities against other qualities. All three offer something different. Fabregas: incisive passing, Costa: physicality, finishing, Hazard : penetrating runs. All three have a positive effect on eachother as their abilities "enhance" one another. Imo i think Hazard is still our best player. For 1 very simple reason really. When sh*t hits the fan i'm looking at Hazard to get us out of it and honestly i could be wrong about this but i think the majority of the Chelsea fans do too. When it comes down to those 3 i consider Hazard to be the one most capable of creating something out of nothing. Costa might get the goals. Fabregas might get the assists but more often then not it's gonna be Hazard that creates the spark that leads to the goal.

Schurrle v City Couldn't find a gif of the goal but this is a video on loop so it's kinda like a gif.

Yes when we had the ball that's what we should have done. Pass the ball around, make good use of the extra man, basically make them chase the ball. AND when City had the ball we should have pressed them so that they had to kick the ball long. We should have imposed ourselves on them and starved them of the ball. If they don't have the ball they can't score.

No offense but that's a load of crap. First thing you need to do when you wanna dominate the other team : You press them. We just sat back and let them have the ball. Also Hazard and Fabregas were caught on the ball because they were receiving the ball in their own half, with their face towards goal, with a city defender breathing down their neck. The simple fact was there was nowhere to go with the ball once they got it.

Considering the fact that our defense were hoofing balls up field all day long i'd have to say yes.

How exactly does scoring 2 goals against deportivo prove he's not overrated ? Your actually proving the point that was made by "DYC" about Bale. That people only focus on goals and not the actual performance.

Your point being... ?
