Our Squad is overrated

[Henrique 9,133]

We still need more players. DM, right back and CF? Sloth is 100% right, we need someone to play as pivot.

Hazard is young and is good, but he is not a Messi and right now he would not start in my ideal team.

As someone said, the team is overrated if you think we are as good as Barcelona.

I think we should play a 4-4-2. 2 banks of 4. Defensive

Stupid thread. Understandable if you say this 5 games into the season, but in fucking preseason where we have not even fielded our 'best' team in any game.

[communicate 2,703]

5 games into the season and we got ourselves lets say 12/13 points and these will be the people shouting "i told u so, these guys are the best", then 3 games drawn and we ll fall back to "rdm sucks, sack him,he is the worst". its the same story every season.

That is football. Result dictate everything. I remember last year when we lost to city and RDM replaced torres with drogba, even though that was a correct decision but we lost so everybody said RDM was stupid.

In final, thomas muller caused us tons of problem and RDM did not do anything but we won so everybody said RDM is genius

That's football

Technically we are better than them because we beat them and won the CL ,but come on no one said that , and you know that , we have a great team with a great futur , Lampard today was fantastic, he'll be our CM and will do well.

People who find themselves disappointed with the new signings/players are often those who expects & perhaps overrates them too much at an early stage.

Indeed, like the people comparing Marin and Iniesta lol.

its the same with every sport.

we were going to have problems upfront without our 2 main stronglholds of last season, DD and MATA. whenever we needed anythin upfront it was either of these 2 to help us. so it is just obvious that an almost new bunch of players(marin, hazard, kdb, lukaku) were goin to have a tough time linking. plus its just the pre-season, the way people are reacting you would think we lost the cl.

[Henrique 9,133]

Come on , stop posting idiot things that have no sense , we have surely a fantastic team , surely the best chelsea team on paper ever , we played good football today , with a team that didnt manage to play togheter , Marin needs to improve in the last pass / shoot , more lucid and Hazard is good , with Mata (Forget him ? ) and Oscar , we'll surely be great team.Stop saying bad things beacause we lost a friendly by conceding a late goal , if the ref gave us a penalty more than clear , what would you say ?

Worst post ever. The Chelsea squad is not the best ever, unless you start watching this club since 2 years ago.

nope, I just didn't know why Marin was seen as an equal replacement for Kalou. I also don't see why anyone would pick him over Danny. But Idk much about Marin.

You don't know much about Marin and yet you said you don't get why people see him as replacement for Kalou and would pick him over Sturridge. For starters, he has a brain and perhaps has got that bit of end product more than Danny right now.

they (kalou+marin) are two different players, kalou suit the way we played last year under RDM but this year, it looks like we are trying to become a less direct and more attacking team so marin should fit our team better.

I do know he was having a bad season last year.

He had injury problems.
