Eden Hazard

child go to Liverpool and tell them Jose is better tha n Shankly .. go even to any older fan of any English Club.

Why go to Liverpool ? They are too going to say than Gerrard is better than Lampard, or that Carragher has been better than Terry or that they are the best club in the world but is that true ? I don't think so. Go to anyone at any place in the world and they are going to tell you that José is the best in the business.

football didnt start when you started to watch it

Alright lads, let's try to keep this friendly, please. And keeping it on topic would be good too. Thanks.

You don't have to look to Europe. Man City clearly play much much better than us. Both Liverpool and Everton play better than us with less resources. If i'm being honest. we play some of he worst brand of football among the big European clubs.

We beat City and Liverpool home and away. Are you going to tell me you haven't enjoyed the game against City away where we had some wonderful counterattack (we played football much better than them) ? The victory against Arsenal wasn't good to look at ? The one against LFC at home and so on...

Wasn't you one of the people who weren't happy when we conceded 8 goals against Sunderland and Stoke in one week ?

Do you think you have some sort of superioty because you were born before me ? That's just pathetic, in fact, I would go as far to say that when you have to use ad-hominem it's because you have nothing more to say. Football culture has nothing to do with how old are you.

Hazard hattrick tomorrow.

If José even elects to start him that is.

FYI some one just proved a few pages back he is a big fat liar!!! so arguing with him can be a little bit hard!

Of course I did enjoy them, but those games are few and far between. We don't really have a defined style of play when the opposition gives us the ball. Most of the games we've played this season have been very bad to watch, especially when we are expected to dominate possession.

More ad-hominem please, It's funny how you hide behind how old are you, that's just show that your football culture is superficial. Don't be bitter, accept that you're in the wrong and stop talking about something that you obviously don't know (how much I know about Shankly).

Which team for you play the best football ? Dortmund, Real Madrid, who ? Don't fucking tell me Barcelona or Bayern Munich with this tiki-taka bullshit, just don't. The bayern fans already can't take it anymore and Barcelona are playing like proper shit since two seasons. The fact is the best football are played by counterattacking team.

You are talking like last year we played some wonderful football, we were awful and played defensive in a lot of games.

Actually, I saw a lot more of attractive football from Chelsea last year. Some of the combinations between Mata and Hazard were mesmerizing. The goal from Mata against Tottenham away with the sublime throughball from Hazard. Hazard's goal against West Ham at home were he and Mata had that brilliant combination. The trashing of Villa...

I think there were a lot more of memorable moments of sublime style last season compared to this season.

And actually, I loved watching Bayern under Heynckes, Barcelona under Guardiola, Roma under Garcia, and even Liverpool and City in the EPL at the moment. Football should still be entertaining. And there isn't a neutral fan in the world which liked the way Chelsea played this season. If you want to grow as a club, you should be a brand that attracts people and in that case, results aren't the only thing that are important. Sponsors, upcoming superstars and even fans want to be associated with a 'sexy' brand, not a dull one.

That's reason why Jose is in the top of his career for the past couple of years and wanted everywhere and you people behind your laptop, wheelchairs or whatever you're in at.

now thats quite - no VERY - insulting.

There is no plan to beat a bus, if your opponent doesn't allow you space in the center, you can just hope to pass on the wing and have a striker to put the cutbacks in. You will get some half-chances, some real chances and you have to take them. A team full of creativy everywhere on the pitch like Barcelona have problem with bus. You'll see next year with a striker like Diego Costa what we'll do with the small teams.

This is way over the top! Absolutely no need for that.

Alright lads, let's try to keep this friendly, please. And keeping it on topic would be good too. Thanks.

I said please!

I really don't want to lock this thread but you're kinda forcing my hand. Everyone just stop the insults and get back on topic!

[Stingray 9,441]

I'm sorry mods. But this thread is a disgrace, certainly to a player of Hazards calibre. Criticism is ok, but we have passed that stage a long time ago.

Namika, we are not the only team that the opposition defend deep against. Other teams don't seem to have a problem. You mention Costa, sure, he will provide some much needed quality up front, but he is not a striker that creates space for himself, though he does bully defenders. Those type of strikers are very very rare. We also need a creative CM and we also need Azpilicueta back at RB and an attacking LB on Hazard's wing to prevent teams from double marking him. Mourinho also should (I dunno, maybe he is!) focus more on build up play and less on counter-attacking football.

If we do these things, then I'm certain we will win the premier league and play some of the best brand of football in the world.

Which part was insulting?!!

There are plenty of people here communicating via their laptop, some with phones, tablet etc whom some of them might be challenged people using a wheelchair or any other aiding device! and there is no shame in that.

We had some tragic perfomances with Benitez, remember City home and away, Soton home, Reading away, etc...

The 6-0 trashing against Arsenal isn't a memorable moment, the 2-0 against PSG, the win at the Etihad, the win at Anfield, the torres winner in the last minute against City, fuck me, the supporter of this club have eaten so much caviar that now when we have tuna, it's not good enough, we should be all grateful that we have something in our mouth (metaphorically ofc).

Bayern under Heynckes took time to take a shape, Barça under Guardiola is one in a million, Rodgers took a year to shape his team, why not give that time to José ? I personnaly don't care about the style, I support the club not the style of football, we could play like QPR (god forbid) that i wouldn't care. Don't worry about sponsors (top 5 revenues in the world football), upcoming stars (Hazard joined us when we played some of the worst football ever (CL 2012), and fans comes and go. We have one of the best fanbase in the world sport, more than 300.000.000 fans.
