Would be so dissapointed If this were true..

His dad just went to jail for 15 months for beating his gf (not Romelu's mom) and sticking her in the trunk of his car a while ago. Hope this doesn't affect his mental state too much

we've won 2 out of 3 against United this season, and the one we lost we got robbed by the referee. Yet they're winning the league again, simply because they get decisions and have a wider squad....

Benteke:"my coach always calls me "c*nt".".. Belgian director not censoring it...

Eden, KDB and Romelu in this, watching their brothers play for the U21... from 10:30 onward

The problem is our squad is too thin to compete in all competitions. If we make top 4 our A squad should only play PL and Cl matches imo. Our second team would get enough matches to allow youth to develop and wed have a genuine chance at the title and the CL, provided we get some quality players in the double pivot and defence, and KDB and Lukaku return... I know FA cup is important but if anything this season has shown, its that beeing too greedy always backfires. Specifically the game vs United in the Legue cup comes to mind... We fielded our A squad against Uniteds b squad, it went into overtime and from then on fatigue started to creep into the squad.

yeah thought so. Not that i have anything against Moroccans.

nah i'm pretty sure it was Moroccan. Think his mom was half moroccan or something but i've never even seen that confirmed.

unlucky in finishing had some good chances imo

KDB was unlucky, Courtois didnt get alot of work...

So drunk... Also so proud of this guy

About morocco: i hear great things about zakaria Bakkali, who has both the Belgian and Moroccan nationality. Morocco are trying very hard get get him, and supposedly wants to go there, eventhough he's playing for Belgium youth squad atm.

Just change your nationality to Belgian mate. Far easier then trying to get hazard to become a Frenchman. Problem solved

Anyone noticed he wears red shoes when playing for Chelsea, and blue shoes when playing for Belgium? Also the short sleeves + gloves look made me feel uncomfortable :s

Imho he's better then Cech already. There, i said it. People often criticize his Atletico performances, because supposedly his clean sheets are because of Atleticos defence. Not so yesterday. MOTM. Belgium have only conceded 1 goal this campaign.

Cheeky Macedonians , well he showed them..

Yeah was talking about Belgium.. I guess i should have clarified. Hazard needs someone like Mata around him. I reckon KDB thinks the most like him in the NT, but they were both on the flanks for most of the game

Needs to play in the middle or with KDB in the middle. The others dont think fast enough for him..

Ivanovic promised to do us a favor by beating Croatia.

Hazard was making 100k (€) at Lille last year. So got a moderate payrise out of his transfer. Compare him to the players who make more then him at Chelsea and keep in mind he's featured in every match Chelsea have played...

Just noticed that second ball on the pitch at the end of the game. Was that one of the fans who threw that on there?

We should probably move this conversation to the Belgian NT thread didnt Vermaelen get an offer from Barca recently though?

I think this will get better when KDB returns

I think he's more affected by the amount of games we have to play because he didnt play in a top euro competition last season. He's bound to get compared to Hazard because they both play on the wing, are both more or less the same age and are both new to the Premier League, but you have to keep in mind that the difference beween the French and English competition is smaller then the one beween the Brazilian league and the PL. I'll reserve judgement on Oscar untill the season after the WC, however i feel that for now he should be rotated more then Hazard As for the #10 position: the problem is we have Mata aswel as Hazard who consider it their best position. Plus possibly KDB next season. itll be a long time before any manager lets Oscar start there every game I'm afraid...
