He was our best player this season until Hazard decided to wake up... He is indeed inconsistent, but only someone who hasnt watched our games would post he has been terrible or sucked at creating chances!

LOL!

I'd put a mixed team, not total full power and not a team worth of the first round of League Cup... Schwarzer Iva - Cahill - Terry - Cole Mikel - Ramires Salah - Oscar - Hazard Torres Also, the discussion in here is absolutely pathetic. First of all, this is not a mickey mouse cup game against a pub team. However, this is also not some UCL final or whatever. Second of all, people are allowed to have different opinions, it is not wrong to value the FA Cup more than the Galatasaray/Drogba game and vice-versa. Find some middle ground or agree to disagree FFS!

How long do you take to write a preview Choulo? I never take more than 40-45min... The Newcastle one (that I did late at night and kind of fast) took me about half an hour to write it!

Nice, objective and not too long! I didnt even noticed we have kept 7 clean sheets in the last 9 games, that is really impressive!!!

I actually am, it is his very last chance of trying someone new... I believe we will see a new GK, Fernandinho, Coutinho and I have no clue how he is going to find a striker!

Wow, lest hold our horses a little bit! As Jose said, we have 13 games left (39 points) and in a league where we are only 6 points (2 games) ahead of the fourth best team, this is an eternity...

Who is Raphael, me? Why am I banned? I guess you are right, the first two games under Scolari he played with the #7. But other than that, it was either #10 or #11...

The old Jose is back, I missed him!

He is unofficially banned from our NT after what he did to Robben in 2010!About Oscar, he used to be the #7 when playing in Brazil's under age teams, but I am not sire if he ever used that jersey in the main squad... About our pivot, I believe Hernanes-Ramires is our best option to start the tournament because weaker opponents will probably sit back and wait. After the first round, I'd go with Fernandinho + Paulinho or whatever.

It's because you dont participate in the live match threads..

I dont know. He is certainly good, but he just doesnt display the style of football I enjoy!

I dont like Pogba...

[quote name="BluesMaster" post="849158" timestamp="1391983270" Pardon me if I have a short term memory but has that happened before? Not with you JayJay, but a few people like to play that card when it's convinient...

One observation though: if I, or any other foreigner member, posted something like that, we would be accused of being ungrateful and disrespectful towards the "English tradition" and how we don't appreciate the FA Cup...

That is why I said it was a shame! Trophies have absolutely nothing to do with who was the better team...

As Alex and others pointed out, the 2007-08 team was the best team we ever had! A shame we didnt win a trophy that season, but we did get very close to winning both the League Cup and the Champions League though...

Who taught you football?

I didnt get it...

Look at Krul dancing inside the goal, completely lost!

FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK, WHAT A FUCKING AMAZING GOAL!!!!!

Did you just call the Legion of Boom?

I remember when people blamed Hazard's poor form on Mata not playing and how they connected so magically... Well, Hazard has recently been playing the best in his career at Chelsea and there is no Mata. Actually, Oscar and Willian have connected brilliantly with him!

That is not even from today, last season was the same thing. It is sad, but it is the truth...

LET'S DO THIS!
