The right wing is the new curse. Just like how we struggled to replace drogba and get a good pivot

Attacking football the Rodgers way

I was thinking of available physical box to box players we need for Mourinho's tactics and I totally forgot about him

Barcelona became Spanish champions, beat the English champions, beat the French champions, beat the German champions and are meeting the Italian champions in the Final. I'm sorry choulo19', it's fate, Barcelona will win the treble.

He's not better than Willian, so why buy him??

It's basically obsession now

Zouma is leaving? Wtf

Costa is a fukin warrior, we went to war and conquered the LEAGUE!!

His finishing is very good. I love players who swerve the ball round like messi and robben. He should come and teach hazard how to do it more often, it'll make hazard score easily (hazard gets into the box more than anyone but needs to dribble again before he can shoot because he can't swerve the ball from tight spaces and angles) That is what we should aim for in finding talent (technique, balance, strength on the ball, dribbling, finishing /passing) finishing for attackers and passing for midfielders. All he needs is for Mourinho to grill the mental parts of his game. No player will make it in Barcelona youth team with the technique of lukaku, I don't know why many Chelsea fans I know don't see the importance of this.

Please make it happen Mourinho!!! We don't need a third striker at all, he can play right wing and striker and is a better finisher than everyone in our team except costa and Remy

I don't remember seeing that Greece part he said in the bible, but I'm with him in agreement that most bible predictions come true. Don't be shocked when it eventually happens again.

Is his passing good?(Matic level or Ramires level??) I've never really observed it

He's the type of physical box to box midfielder that Mourinho always had till he came back to Chelsea. Essien, Khedira, etc we have ramires but he's not as good a passer or as physical as any box to box midfielder he's had before

Could he be the attacking right winger we've been looking for??? I never realized how good his left-foot was

Azpilicueta and Willian showed everyone how to win Mourinho over. Work hard off the ball. Even if you don't know how to do any aspect of the game, if you consistently show desire to come back to defend, Mourinho will give you chances and then you can show your other aspects of the game. Anyone that doesn't show fighting spirit and loyalty will never make it under Mourinho. I said this in the Musonda thread and it seemed like a joke but its real.

Mourinho will get his physical box to box player and his left footed rightwinger eventually. In all his other teams(2005chelsea, intermilan, Madrid) One Att fullback, experienced back four DM and physical box to box midfielder Left-footed and right-footed wingers Through pass Am Influential striker Attacking fullbacks - cole, maicon, marcelo and now ivanovic Dm & physical box to box - Makelele & essien/lamps, motta & stankovic, Alonso & Khedira and now Matic & ??? Vertical passing AM - joecole/lamps, Sneijder, ozil and now fabregas Right-footed and left-footed wingers - joecole & robben, eto & pandev, cRonaldo & dimaria, and now hazard & ??? Influential unselfish striker - drogba, Milito, benzema, and now costa We're missing two pieces of the Mourinho team puzzle imo. He'll eventually get it.

I actually prefer him in midfield. He seems more natural there than at left back

Reus is more creative, (more key passes and vertical through passes per game) reus takes freekicks, corners, long range shooter, and better crossing. Griezmaan is a better finisher, has great movement like Schurrle to always get chances, is a left-footed player who can cut in from the right and shoot like hazard does on the left. They have about the same strength. Both haven't played on the right wing much so I don't know if they'll suffer like (Mata, KdB, schurlle, Salah) whose all were forced to play in their least favorite attacking position.

Let's hope he shows some desire in defensive duties and gets far stronger than mceachran ever was. Or he'll never play in his favorite deep midfield position under Mourinho.

I liked your post because of this statement. It's so annoying seeing a lot of footballers strolling around when their teammates have the ball instead of making runs to create space for creating chances.

Hazard has this attitude of not taking the shot when he has the chance, in fact fabregas too and almost our whole team pass pass pass pass pass around the box instead of being direct like we used to be in the past years which is so annoying sometimes.

He has better off the ball movement

He should develop his off the ball movement and he'll be some player...

I didn't realize how good a passer colckett is...

People underestimate size in midfield with quality in possession. We used to have essien, ballack and lampard in midfield or Tiago, Makelele, lampard. Now Juventus have used the same model of having big physical quality passing midfielders and are dominating big teams like we used to in 2005
