lucky arsenal there sighurdson shouldve shot tottenham is toughest competition for place 3/4 by far if you ask me, no way arsenal will get much points

Ow did you guys see one of his heavy-foot goals already? Here's one! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cblh3xx0FuM forgive those Americans tho :/

Happy he's here! Still dont get why sturridge had to go tho... shouldve sold torres back to liverpool... wouldve been better for all parties.. Especially for next year with ba/lukaku and sturridge we should have had enough options without having to spend another 30 million.

I still think mata shouldve played hazard the 2nd time, oscars 2nd header was pretty difficult to make (at 15:30 minutes game time) - way more difficult than the possible tap-in for hazard if mata wouldve played him, he was completely free so cant really blame oscar for that one since he was marked

Especially if you consider our country is friggin small and we have our best generation ever by far (we arent brazil where they have a worldplayer every year orso ) The amount of good players we have playing in the pl is becomming rediculous for us considering before we almost never had any good player playing in the premier league (well phillipe albert, newcastle player from 94 till 99, and perhaps one/more few), and when your favorite team picks up our best you get quite cheery Like now arsenal - tottenham, 3 belgians starting, if anyone wouldve said that 5-10 years ago they wouldve lol'd their asses off... That aside, i think most here stay pretty neutral (belgians arent patriotic people generally anyways)

Play the same team as we did against middlesbrough? Think they did rather well. (didnt see the whole match tho) They should be even more used to play together by now + more motivated prolly to play a match in europa league// show what they can do internationally and we can still finish things at home / sub if needed. if they are registrerd :/ edit: nvm already mentioned

Any objective analyst would agree with the following i think: When you say hazard was best fieldplayer 2nd half. (do note fieldplayer...) When you say hazard was with oscar and cech best players of the game. When you say it is a hard pick because most of our players had a good match.... Perhaps i shouldve picked Cech yeh, but not many people pick a goalie as mom. Especially since that goalie had all that work once hazard was off the field....

Perhaps you have never seen hazard playing as a 10 then Well just watch/read reports of our first 3 pl matches this season if so, hazard played mainly as 10 then, still one of the better periods of chelsea this year. Or the difference in our attacking play when hazard is not playing. http://www.chelseafc.com/fixtures-results 19/22 an 25/08

Hazard off = usually falling apart offensively time

Fantastic play so far, but it will be hard to keep this up i think (lots of running around). Also against better oposition we'll need to score more/make better decisions in last 16 in my opinion because it's likely they will get a counter in like this.

76% possesion last 5

yeaa!

Yeh but we need to make better calls when it counts/be more clinical

Mata shouldve played hazard instead of oscar earlier...

explosive start!

I dont think Werder is a bad option tbh (if he doesnt get much playtime here). Since there he really gets a free role, everything goes trough him and he gets a lot of faith from fans/board/manager there + he plays everything in one of the best leagues of the world... i honestly dont see how much better it can get than that for a talent to develop... As in Athletico fe he might not get such a role, not many big teams let a 20 year old be their playmaker... also because usually they already have a good one. (see hazard @ chelsea)

Ibra, RVP, Aguero, L.Suarez, Cavani, Falcao, Messi Ozil, Reus, Gotze, Kroos, Hamsik, Mertens, Sneijder, Iniesta Witsel, Xabi Alonso, Schweinsteiger, Gerrard, Fellaini, Dembele, Modric, Yaya, Fabregas, Pirlo, Rossi, Vidal Kompany, Vertonghen, Lahm, Hummels, Chiellini, Alba

If we are going to get another Belgian, it shouldnt be fellaini (great player but we have Mikel already and those 2 together wont work in my opinion) but Witsel. First of all Witsel works great in pivot with a player like Mikel (he played with Defour like that at standard liege) + hes one of the best on that position - pretty sure he can become a more complete midfielder than yaya toure fe. (just a bit less physical than both him and fellaini, but more than enough for us and with mikel next to him) Now i know Zenit Saint Petersburg bought him for 40M from Benfica this year, but he is not playing that well there as he did last year with Befinca when Mourinho wanted him @ Madrid - he destroyed manu midfield in the champions league - + i doubt he likes it that much in russia... . For that reason, i think, if we offer +/- same amount for him to Zenith as they payed to Benfica we can get him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmOp1U6J5IQ (if you dont know him... turn off sound tho) Also to give you an idea, he was MOM in 1 of the ties against manchester united (they drew twice in CL) and real madrid(friendly tho) last year. So we can play like this: Witsel-Mikel Oscar-Mata-Hazard Ba/Lukaku Discuss
