Man on a mission. I couldn't help but notice that he moved more central when he started beating his marker and taking dangerous shots. Maybe he's showing Jose his skills from the middle??

Our players are playing like they have fixed this match, we can't pass and Courtois has flapped every cross in this match. Only willian gives a shit

Courtois has flapped another cross.... The fuck Oscar is just terrible at passing. Rare to see a midfielder with such poor passing technique. I'm predicting him to score though

Didier and oscar can't complete a pass at the moment.

Oscar has to create, if they park the bus then we have to go over the bus and drogba has to hold the ball up for us in the box

Exactly, you get it. Mourinho makes more money for journalists with his speeches than any other coach. But they jump at him with any opportunity they get, he deserves some level of respect from them or he'll punish them more

Wilshere caught smoking again Lol

Welcome to Chelsea forum

Let's hope he at least creates more chances than ivanovic. Nice to know he won't lie down, cuadrado should earn his place.

Nice analysis, you got it spot on as I also viewed him. He is much more direct than Willian so he's nothing like him in that aspect. He falls down like hazard used to when he first came to the Epl. His first touch is a little bit better than Oscars, and he mostly tries to win a foul under pressure since he isn't very strong. What is your opinion on his decision making? Schurlle level, Willian level, Oscar level or hazard level????

Ramires - Matic Willian - oscar - Hazard Remy Cuadrado can come on in the 2nd half, we'll slowly adapt him to the league. Hard to replace fabregas creativity so hopefully we score early and put ourselves in a good position

No.... We need him against the smaller teams dammit

Hummels has been shit all season in every match I watched him. Dortmund fans have even started complaining about reus performance levels. Klopp should be sacked, even wenger sold his best players and still finished 4th

Any country with Muslims and oil, they find a way to go in under diplomatic flag.I'm waiting for when they come into my country with oil and Muslims to use as Islamic terrorists excuse.

Mendes: Only a god could have replaced Ferguson at Manchester United... but he's at Chelsea

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
