I second that. He'll be crowded sometimes but it'll be against much slower centerbacks and Slow midfielders instead of faster fullbacks who can recover after he's turned them. Every one in the middle would be booked because of Hazard mazing runs and it would make them more scared to put in tackles, leaving more space for teammates.

Cahill is still a good defender. He has the occasional backing off against players running at him but he's good enough in other aspects. The problem is with our system of play, we can't play with two slow centerbacks and expect to be solid defensively. There will always be problems when both centerbacks are slow. The faster one goes into more challenges because he can recover if he misstimes a tackle while the slower CB stays back. But when both are slow, one ball over the top and clear chances created unless they are defending deep.

Hazard stats last season http://www.whoscored.com/Regions/252/Tournaments/2/Seasons/3853/Stages/7794/PlayerStatistics/England-Premier-League-2013-2014 Cuadrado stats last season playing on the right http://www.whoscored.com/Regions/108/Tournaments/5/Seasons/3978/Stages/8019/PlayerStatistics/Italy-Serie-A-2013-2014 Pretty similar imo. If hazard didn't take a few more penalties it would even be closer on goals.

Fixed

I don't think he'll defend like willian. Willian is too good in that aspect, but in attack, he's as good a passer, faster, better dribbler, more direct/exciting, better crosses(like luis), more powerful shot. He gets fouled a lot like hazard so yellow cards and setpieces in good positions. His weakness is that he's as physically weak as dimaria and his decision making isn't hazard level.

Lol.... He's still lampard. I'm furious he extended his contract beyond January but seeing him at the Bridge still reminds us of what he's done for us

I hope him and ivanovic form a strong partnership on the right. The fact that he's Italian leagues best dribbler is exciting, just like hazard is Premier leagues best. If he can dribble past people just half as much as Hazard, we're in for some proper chance creation from both sides of the wings. His decision making is not on hazards level, but so was dimaria for Madrid in the rightwing and they scored goals at will, counter-attacking style.

Yes, the club woke him up from whatever slumber he was having

Lmao

Happy to have another Juan

Almost all our players have huge fan base and that automatically raises their value. They know nothing about marketing

I somewhat wish we convinced him to play a substitute role for us. His talent is coming off the bench when defenses are tired and contribute to a goal. Having him on the bench is always a plus

Would be funny if this deal doesn't come through, no news on the matter at all today

Loool arsenal are destined for 4th place aren't they?

Like I said before he's still very young, I mean look at Matic's development. Holding onto balls under pressure is the only area which he has to develop crucially imo. When you play in the center, there are bodies everywhere and if you're soft like Mata you lose the ball or pass out quickly because you're not confident enough to keep it or win a foul.He already can't dribble, he has little chance of developing that part of his game, but if he doesn't learn how to use his back to shield the ball in tight spaces, sooner or later Mourinho will stop playing him against teams that press us.

Willian hasn't contributed more than 4 goals this season, let's face it oscar is still more creative. But against bigger teams, the more players who can keep the ball under pressure and cover distance with speed, the better the attacking in those games. Unless the big team doesn't press and let's us have the ball.
