It's a good goal. Nothing we could do about it

What do you mean by 3 months. If he's played only 7 games since January 1st and scored 6 he's still performing decent.

Costa was banned for 3 games in the epl. He's scored 6 goals in 7 matches in the league this year. The only place where costa didn't deliver is in the Champions League.

When I say I'm concerned, I never meant that they'll win the league from us Arsenal won't be a pushover against us like normal if they press well...

The fact that wenger has got them pressing concerns me. They're already good at passing, adding pressing to their game makes them a dangerous opponent now.Edit. It doesn't mean they can catch us at the top lol...

No need to get riled up easily. You're a rival fan and we've played each other a lot over the years. Of course some of the matches we played against each other would be brought up, surely you expected that. That 2009 match the referee was banned after that match for the terrible performance and injustice against Chelsea is proof enough of what really happened. No need to get angry over that fact.

Sanchez has shown Chelsea players how to shoot from outside the box.

He certainly has the physicality but I'm not sure if he can master positioning properly. It's not easy if its not natural to you

Arsenal have been pressing the shit out of Liverpool for 14 mins and they look like QPr right now

Lmao :lol:Delusional hahaha

You're welcome here I'm a fan of rafinha, i was an even bigger fan of thiago because like hazard they know how to get past players marking them. You guys seem to be much better than last season, is it just Suarez presence instead of Sanchez or messi playing on the wing or is Enrique just better than tata martino

I know we can only sign two quality players this summer, but I'm not sure which two of these (pogba/Andre Gomes, Koke, Varane, reus/bale) we need the most. We should only invest on the right wing if there is quality of reus level available. No more buying experimental players. I'm sure ake will be in our squad, the new homegrown rules have made sure of that.

I'm not sure what our team needs the most for next season. We had a few problems this season. 1. No quality on the same level as starters on the bench. (except luis) 2. Slow centerbacks who can't hold their own against one fast attacker, so if Matic has a bad game, our defense collapses.(Varane?) 3. We were physically bullied by a lot of teams in midfield. The old Chelsea I know could be outplayed but we were never bullied or outfought in the midfield. We need size and energy in some matches. We missed a David luiz besides Matic. (pogba, Andre Gomes) 4. We need a long range shooter in this team and it has to be a CM or AM. It's unacceptable the way we're too shy to take shots making it easy to defend us. (pogba, Andre Gomes) 5. We need another intelligent midfielder who can still tackle incase fabregas is marked out of the game. No one can provide creativity except hazard when fabregas is marked. (Koke, cabaye) 6. We need another goalscorer on the right wing. (reus) It would be a perfect window if we get Pogba /Andre Gomes Koke Reus /bale Varane /make ivanovic CB I know realistically we can only get two quality players out of those options but I'm not sure which two of those players we need that would improve our team the most.

I'll rather go all out for Koke. He has consistent assists record every season without losing the ball carelessly. I'm not sure what our team needs the most for next season. We had a few problems this season. 1. No quality on the same level as starters on the bench. (except luis) 2. Slow centerbacks who can't hold their own against one fast attacker, so if Matic has a bad game, our defense collapses.(Varane?) 3. We were physically bullied by a lot of teams in midfield. The old Chelsea I know could be outplayed but we were never bullied or outfought in the midfield. We need size and energy in some matches. We missed a David luiz besides Matic.

(Koke, cabaye) 6. We need another goalscorer on the right wing. (reus) It would be a perfect window if we get Pogba /Andre Gomes Koke Reus Varane /make ivanovic CB But since we can't get all I'm not sure which two players we need that would improve our team the most.

Clear troll

What did they ask him that made him walk away???

Fair enough on him being on the same level of end product as willian. But thats exactly why we don't want him, we want a better level. His real appeal is the home grown factor

What a fantastic piece

So weird. They used to be in abundance years ago but now... No juice

Thats fantastic news. Even if zola might not be the best choice tactically, it's good he knows that its okay to get a coach like Ferguson did.

Agreed.When Mourinho arrived here, we were on the same level as arsenal and a bit better than tottenham. Two years later we are the best team in the league, with the 4th-5th best net spend(4 epl teams spent more than they sold than us) under Mourinho. What is putting a small dent over the progress is the quality of football for the second half of the season. The first half was fantastic for even the highest pessimists but maybe next season, getting more quality players who can adapt under pressing, and physically ready to not get physically dominated by teams like PSG.

He's english, homegrown, better goalscorer than any right wing players we have Negatives: doesn't track back...I'll rather have chamberlain than him, someone who can actually beat players without needing space

Topic murdered

Terrible defensively in the first half, better when silva came on to control things upfront.

Mourinho called, "no injury"
