Pacquiao

Did you watch him at Inter last season???

He had a really good game against Sunderland, dont know what game you were watching.

He won a penalty against Sunderland and was looking good until he got injured.

Begovic Ivanovic - Cahill - Terry - Azpilicueta Matic Fabregas - Oscar Willian - Costa - Hazard Man City 1 Bony Chelsea 2 Costa Ivanovic

i would prefer to have played City first as they have not looked good in pre-season and could be without Aguero, Silva and Nasri

Arsenal are not good enough to win the PL at full strength and without thier best player they would struggle to finish top 3.

he has been our best player in pre-season, I expect big things from Oscar this season.

Courtois Ivanovic - Cahill - Terry - Azpillicueta Matic Fabregas - Oscar Willian - Falcao - Hazard Chelsea 3 Swansea 0 Hazard Falcao Oscar

If Sanchez gets injured Arsenal wont win the title, if Aguero gets injured City wont win the title, if Messi gets injured Barca wont win La Liga... Same applies to virtually every team unless they are in a one team league like Bayern and Juventus.

he looked good last night, his movement and hold up play was brilliant! just a shame he didnt get any service, once the chances start coming no doubt he will score goals as he is such a natural finisher.

i bet you £100 Falcao scores more then 5 by October.

This is such a key game for Falcao, if he scores in front of the Stamford Bridge crowd, it would do him the world of good and may earn him a start against Swansea if Costa isnt 100%. Courtois Ivanovic - Zouma - Terry - Azpilicueta Fabregas - Mikel Cuadrado - Oscar - Hazard Falcao

I would like to see something like Chelsea Porto Olympiacos Borrusia Mönchengladbach

The way i see things Arsenal were better prepared, ahead of us in terms of fitness and smply wanted to win much more then we did, and they still only narrowly beat us! i really cant see anyone getting near us again this season (as long as our key players stay fit.)

Cech looked like a right mug when he was holding 3 fingers up! after winning everything in football he is now celebrating winning 3 pre-season trophies, it seems he was made for that club.

I said the same a while back, Verratti would be my dream signing i would much rather Verratti then Pogba or Koke

So Ronaldinho and Figo were not top wingers by your logic.

Courtois Ivanovic - Zouma - Terry - Azpilicueta Matic Oscar - Fabregas Willian - Falcao Hazard Chelsea 2 Arsenal 0 Falcao, Hazard

Hazard should absolutely destroy Adriano he is an awful RB! We should be able to really hurt them on the counter attack, I can see us winning by a couple of goals tonight.

I am fully aware of the reason why he was sold, but I don't think you understand the reason why it got to that point, De Bruyne was excellent in pre season then got MOTM in the opening game of the season, then we parked the bus at old Trafford and De Bruyne got dropped after that game, and Mourinho didn't show any faith in De Bruyne from then on. which is why De Bruyne didn't put the work in on the training ground to earn a place back in the team, yes that is the wrong attitude to have but I can understand De Bruyne's frustration after such a good start then suddenly Mouinho stops showing faith in him. So I don't know what you are talking about regarding making sweeping statements, you sound like someone who gets all but hurt when someone criticises Mourinho, he is not God he is human and can make mistakes you know.

So just as I thought Jose is putting his trust in Cuadrado, Mikel and Moses, so we won't be signing a RW or CM, if only Jose put the same faith in De Bruyne!

he has to put in Zidane v Brazil 2006 type peformances before certain people even give him the slightest bit of praise...

are people still saying this??? probably one of the biggest myths at Chelsea, i see nothing wrong with Ramires' passing, yes he can mispace a pass every now and then but so do many players, he isnt a great passer and he isnt a bad passer he is a very decent passer, i sometimes wonder if people actually watch Ramires play or just assume he is a bad passer.

To have Stones and Zouma the next Terry and Desailly sets us up nicely for the next 10 years. £30-£35m for Stones is worth it imo.

not impressed with that team, i think they will come 4th again, if they sign a world class striker, and Di Maria steps up next season then they might challenge us.
