lucio

chalobah and ake both play midfield now

i really hope not. nothing against cech by courtois is easily better. but it does seem that way. frustrating, i 100% think lukaku and courtois should be chelsea first XIplayers

more chance of atsu playing there. he has done it already for vitesse in some matches

roma manager says he wont leave

" Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has leapt to the defence of Yaya Toure after criticism that the Ivory Coast powerhouse is a ‘defensive liability’. Ex-City midfielder Dietmar Hamann claimed on Match of the Day that Toure, 30, was a major reason behind the club’s indifferent defensive record as he failed to track runners."

his stamina is still very good and is a better defender than toure

anyone know where i can find player stats for the match? whoscored dosent cover fa cup

those 3 bums would probably increase the price tag.

well done

i watched him too. sometimes when he went up the field and watford lost the ball. he just walked back as the other team was counter attacking. it might not always be the case but there are certainly times when he can work harder and impose himself more.

yep. sadly he is lazy and barely bothers putting a foot in. lets himself get bullied off the ball too. (zaha in playoff) unlike ake who always worked hard when he played for us.

Chelsea line up move for Nantes ace Papy Djilobodji http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/358839/Chelsea-line-up-move-for-Nantes-ace-Papy-Djilobodji "Nantes, who have let in 17 goals in 19 games, have built their side on a strong defence are seventh in Ligue 1. Djilobodji, who is strong and powerful at 6ft 4ins, has made no secret of his desire to play at the top level."

he is so much physically stronger now. barging levante players off the ball for fun.

nope. his contract expires 2017

yeah he is awful clearly no better than our current strikers.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has praised Benfica midfielder Nemanja Matic amidst speculation he could be lining up a swoop for the 25-year-old in January. Now the Chelsea boss has added further fuel to the fire by praising his ability, while also hinting he has been keeping an eye on his progress at the Estadio da Luz. He told Portuguese newspaper O Jogo: "Matic is a good player. Currently his looks solid and mature. He is wise and stable. He is a player that looks very mature on the pitch… [but Benfica] is a big club and he seems comfortable.

the only thing i would complain about is his throw ins. seems to throw it to the opponents more often than not
