Are you kidding me? Full focus should be on seeing the game out and getting the three points, which the players also did.

This was not a time for niceties, this was a time for getting 3 points and doing a professional job on a big night for the club. JT got his moment and will get a bigger moment at the end of the season.

What does it matter who's arm was the armband on? When JT was on the pitch he was very clearly the skipper and every player realizes that.

i heard this too and so retract my criticism.  Was just looking an excuse to take another dig at Cahill.  Until next time...

I know u guys hate him but that is like the 5th time he has scored a big big goal this season. Defensively pretty solid too. Maybe verthongen or alderwireld are a tad better defensively but like it or not Cahills killer instinct in front of goal is a massive part of the reason why we will win the league and they will win fuck all.

26 - Only John Terry (40) has scored more @premierleague goals excluding penalties than Gary Cahill among defenders in the competition. Nod.

 

That was the Opta stat from Apr 25th. He now has 27 to his name. Its good that he's taking on the responsibility of set-piece goal scoring, especially with Terry and Ivanovic not playing, 

 

And tbh, in the last few games he has been trying to put in captain-like performances to help get us over the line. Trying to take charge of the back line instead of simply playing the role of a covering defender (Of course with Luiz playing as sweeper, he more or less becomes the covering defender).

His last ditch tackle against Lukaku in the first minute was vital, because if Everton would have gone up it could have been a different game. I know he isn´t the best defender out there, but there is no denying that he is an integral part of our back line for years now.

despite some mistakes, but what defender doesnt make them? Cahill always gives his all for the team, putting his body on the line for the team, making crucial tackles and scoring crucial goals game after game, just like Terry did for us for many years, legend in the making right there. Cheers

amazing feat by Cahill it must be said, very crucial player for us, also looking at that list, there are 5 players who played for Chelsea, past and present, incredible. Cheers

has scored more goals this season than Kevin De Bruyne

[Kieran. 6,317]

To cap off the last few posters' points, the past 3 title challenges (including the failed one in 2013-14), he was a crucial member. He was widely praised for his performances in 14-15, but has gone somewhat under the radar this season amongst Chelsea fans. I think he's done a great job since switching to a back three.

He near give a goal away when he try to kick a ball out of play and it bounce off chelsea player straight into path  of lukaku  thank God lukaku cross was poor the last two seasons cahill has been bang average an upgrade is needed in the summer 

[The Skipper 20,593]

He's certainly earned his bread this season. I can't hate on him at all anymore. I've accepted his limitations, and he's come up big several times this season. He's not done the captain's armband shame this season, and that's all I can ask for tbh. Deserves to lift trophies with JT at the end of the season.

I'm not big fan of cahill I think we can upgrade that position in the summer but I totally agree what you said there
