cfcs most wanted

Nobody has ever downplayed his commitment, just his ability to be a LWB. The basic requisites for a LWB for me are Good crossing, speed, Defensive ability, tracking back etc. Alonso isn't too good in Defensive positions, and neither has the speed or agility to be a wing back, the goals and his attacking vision are a great thing to have obviously, but this really shouldn't mask his other inabilities. Of course you don't need to have a World class player in every position, but you do need someone who'll atleast fit into the position, and his abilities qualify him more as a poacher rather than a wing back.

I think with Hazard the case is more with his thinking rather than his abilities, for me he is the best dribbler in the world with no exceptions, yet he doesn't often put it good use, even while Willian has largely limited ability in dribbling as compared to Hazard, whenever he gets the ball, he tries to run at defenders with it, trying to make chances, with Hazard the case seems more of making the passing look beautiful rather than of any good value. I know Hazard is the last of our problems, just something I think he should work on

How in the world you manage to make so many mistakes on regular basis and still keeps your place in the team? If Cahill was at his place Chelsea fans would destroy him without hesitation. 

Just shows how Willian should be played, he was amazing in a free role, has been used more for defensive purposes throughout his Chelsea Career, but this displays his attacking quality

For me Hazard will always be a Chelsea great, people calling Hazard and Courtois Belgian cunts for their acts with the media will always be beyond me. Maybe they are a little outspoken, but they chose to be at this club for so long, when they could have easily made a bigger name, earned a bigger paycheck and won more trophies. Yet they still remain, so even if you don't like them, yet their loyalty to this club can't be challenged, atleast not for me

I'm glad he has stayed here so long, but it's a bit sad that he has pretty much wasted himself here. Sure, 2 EPL titles in 6 years is cool and all (not really), but we never kicked on after that CL win - the reason why he joined in first place, thinking we were ambitious and going places. He couldn't have been more wrong. We haven't challenged for the CL since, have been in decline and the club implodes after every successful period. No sustainable success, just scraps here and there with subpar players and subdued performances.
For me he is a legend for sticking with us through all that (possibly because of false hopes or promises), but nevertheless he has shown more loyalty than some others who enjoy legendary status. I wouldn't blame him at all if he left this summer, I would too if somebody better came calling.

Replace Hazard with Neymar in this squad and he would crumble like a little flower he is.

Not even a whole year and he is already more annoying than Costa, atleast Costa had some intent in himself, this guy is not even trying to play, throwing himself to the ground and moaning for not getting a foul, it was just pathetic. I know what he did can't be considered a dive, but i don't think he has such a poor physique to be going tumbling down at every finger that touches him. 

Yeah I kinda understood that later, sorry 😛

Or don't bother stopping Moses and let him slam the ball aimlessly in to the box or out of play.  Alonso wants to cut inside because he's not going to beat you for pace.
Basically, they stop themselves, I guess is what I'm saying. 
Kante and Bakayoko won't pass the ball forwards, and that leaves Cesc trying to take the top off the defence.  Now that everyone is closing down Azpi, there goes our "goal move".  That leaves Morata on the ground trying to get a cheap free kick or Hazard looking at 5 players all facing him up.

The worst thing about him is not the fact that he sucks, but that he has this most whiny look on his face when he throws himself to the floor looking for fouls. About as annoying, and unlikable, as Costa was trying to pick fights with everybody.

He really hasn't and isn't.
Very rarely he actually has bad games, even in the average one's he's driving the team and creating more chances than everyone else combined bar Cesc. 

I know Hazard is our best player but for god sake, he's not immune to criticism! Every time he goes AWOL, people keep finding excuses for him. Did anyone see the number of times he gave the ball away against Leicester? Had it been Willian, people would have thrown him under the bus.

What is with all this praise for Drinkwater all of suddden? He is good backup mid, thats all. I dont like Cesc too much, but he still has more quality over Drinks. 
Yes Drinks is more mobile, but absolute average in everything else. Decent player who can be used sometimes, but not even close to top standards. 
The fact that he is among candidates for starters says more about lack of quality among our midfielders than quality of Drinkwater. 
I swear its like bandwagon reaction over Drinkwater. People imagine his good season in leicester, his wonder goal last week and fact that he can run more than Cesc and suddenly there is ilusion he is actualy chelsea 1st quality. 
I like Drinkwater and he is valuable player, but if he is nowhere near quality of chelsea 1st 11 midfielder. 
Bakayoko as poor he is, he had good games against United and Atletico away. He still has potential to be good. Drinks on other hand isnt as bad, but just because he is slightly above average every game doesnt mean he will make our team much better.

It's not just about today, he has been missing sitters in almost every match. I quite understand the points about him creating chances. But scoring is a basic quality for a striker. It can't be the aspect that is missing. 

He doesn't look too promising to me, because he still hasn't shown a good skill set for me. But he would get better i hope

really dude?

I don't know what convincing you guys really need. When you're the main striker of a top club like Chelsea and have been bought for a record transfer . People atleast expect him to put 1 out of 3 1v1's. That isn't too much to ask from him is it. 

The saddest thing is, when he was through on goal for the first goal, you just KNEW he wasn't going to score. Never thought he would completely miss the target all together though.
 
 

I'm excited if he's sold. Just imagine how many Drinkwaters and Zappacostas we can sign with that kind of money.

Pedro has been performing really well in all the games he has started imo, but the problem lies with the fact that people are expecting him to do stuff, that he doesn't actually have the quality to do. He's a clinical finisher and his positioning is excellent, but he's not a good enough starter, more of an impact substitute, so don't all start expecting him to be world class, he's fine in what he does, but by no means should be a long time starter. Time to buy a long overdue forward

Don't know how people think that Hazard won't get ahead of Sane or Sterling. Hazard could walk into the starting 11 of any team in this world
