Well that stat kinda proves my point no ? 1 shot on target.

Has to do with the poor goals we conceded. First goal Terry poor header, great strike by Lavezzi but he should never be allowed to get the ball in that position. 2nd goal set piece poor defending all around. third goal just ridiculous defending and goalkeeping. Should have never been a goal. You dominated the second half in possesion but in terms of actual chances the only one i can remember was the Cavani shot that went just wide apart from that you weren't all that to be frank. "The most difficult for football supporters is not to accept the defeat, it's to accept the fact that there was not much the team could do about it." That's just the thing there was a lot our team could have done about it.

Why hasn't this kojo guy been banned yet ? All he does is troll and try to rile people up. No need for that.

Maybe we should wait untill Courtois and his father talk to the press again.....

People talk about him dissapearing out of games but it's pretty difficult to influence the game as an attacking player when you don't have the ball. Only have to look at the second half against PSG. Also how is it that he's constantly getting marked by 3 players yet is still able to be our most dangerous player ? Also somehow manages to be the player, in all 5 top competitions, with the most chances created and our lead goalscorer and assister. Pretty good for an inconsistent player. Lol Sturridge. Sturridge plays in a team that dominates possesion where he constantly gets support and he's playing alongside the best striker in the PL.

Well that angle really doesn't show how low the ball was flying. Alex is always getting to the ball first but he actually misses it completely. Honestly our defenders should always be the ones on the ball first. Well you must have been some goalkeeper if you think this situation was easy for Cech. A lot of people seem to forget that. This isn't the first time we've looked shaky on set pieces.

While i agree that the second goal wasn't Luiz his fault i disagree about it being Cech's fault. I'm a goalkeeper myself and there was no way Cech could have come out to claim it. The ball was moving far to low and there were simply to many players between him and the ball. Defenders should have dealt with it in the first place.

Having a striker that can actually hold on to a ball is pretty important no matter what style of football you play.

Well i can't say for certain why he wore it but maybe he wasn't wearing anything underneath his jersey so when they asked him for an interview he quickly put on the jersey. Or maybe he was cold. I mean there are a number of valid reasons why he would wear it. Honestly think you're overeacting a bit mate. I highly doubt Hazard meant to upset anyone by wearing that jersey.

He swapped jerseys with a PSG player. Well guess what, he's played in France and knows most of the players playing for PSG. Actually i wouldn't be suprised if the player he swapped jerseys with was Cabaye, former teammate and a good friend of Hazard. When he talked about Messi and Ronaldo he always said he hoped to reach their level one day and acknowledged that he still had a long way to go and that he had to work extremely hard everyday to achieve that. (so get your facts straight) 16 goals, 11 assists. Lead goalscorer and lead assister of the team this season. Like you said not bad, not bad at all. Never really understood why fans get upset over players swapping jerseys after a loss. Could you please explain. I mean do you think him swapping jerseys means that he doesn't care that we lost or something ? Cause THAT really sounds dumb.

Dafuq did i just read ?

Where in my posts did i make fun of other football leagues ?

What if you only give a yellow card and the team misses the penalty ? The team of the player that committed the foul basically get's away with cheating. You'd constantly see defenders and goalkeeper cynically taking down players who are in a great goalscoring position, happily take the yellow card and a chance for their goalkeeper to save the penalty.

Oh come on you can't be serious. The Premier league is the most physical league in the world. "the premier league has shit defenders" Ridiculous statement. "La Liga is better" That really is a completely different discussion. i disagree but like i said different discussion. This is about Ligue 1 vs Premier league. Don't really get what you're trying to prove with the "lione- Tottenham 5-3" Tottenham lost against a French team so that means the French league is better ? Tottenham sucks ! Premier League >> Ligue 1. That is simply not up for debate.

I know mate but there is no way you can rewrite that rule without causing other problems.

You do realize Willian plays in the Premier League while both Lavezzi and Lucas play in the Ligue 1. Premier League >> Ligue 1. Better defenders in the premier league which makes it harder to score, assist and dribble.

But how ? There's no solution. Every rewrite would have it's loopholes and disadvantages.

Disagree, red card and penalty were the right punishment. The handball was deliberate and he attempted to prevent a goal. (yes the ball was going out but he didn't know that) There are some situations where a red card and a penalty are too harsh but this wasn't one of them. Imo ofcourse.

“It’s an aspiration for me because I watch a lot of games of Ronaldo and Messi, and I try to make the same,” said Hazard, who has 15 goals in all competitions this season. “But I know I want to score more because sometimes I play well, like today, but I don’t score. To be the best player in the world, I have to score more. It’s just in my head. I have to shoot more sometimes. I can make the pass, I can shoot and sometimes I make the pass, but I work on that.” Well it's good that he knows it. Link to the article it came from : http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/chelsea-midfielder-eden-hazard-i-can-be-as-good-as-lionel-messi-or-cristiano-ronaldo-9203729.html

Special ability no but it can give a confidence boost and make the player feel better in the team maybe even give him a heightened sense of responsibility. It's also a sign of confidence from the club towards the player as normally the number 10 is given to the best attacking player. Hazard will probably ask for it. Did the same thing in Lille, had number 26 and when the player wearing number 10 left he asked and got the number so i'd be suprised if he didn't ask for it now. He holds special meaning to the number and also Zidane wore number 10 aswell. (his childhood idol for the people that don't know)

Get found out ? With our NT he actually had to kick a penalty 2 times in a row as 1 of our players ran into the box to early. Both times he used his technique. So the goalkeeper couldn't have been more prepared yet was simply unable to stop neither one and was sent the wrong way both times. Found some footage of it but it's not the best of quality.

Vertonghen is my MOTM

Actually think it's a 4-2-3-1 with Hazard on the 10.
