Special Juan 28,141 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Hazard is truly different class, give this guy a top striker over summer and we are good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushman 2,043 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 So, what can I say here ? I am very pleased to see Chelsea being in another final. Not the strongest competition but still in the final.After this season of inconsistency, the team have a chance to win another trophy to their repertoire. For a while, I was worried but then Chelsea just turned it on & outplayed Basel easily.A stunning goal by Luiz, another show piece by him. This kid has such a fine kicking technique, it´s amazing to see.Benfica won´t be an easy opponent. However, knowing Chelsea they won´t lose in the final.Now, just beat Manure, Spurs, Aston, Everton & we may say, the season was not such a waste as I thought a couple of months ago.

The only place to be 11,313 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Easy to say now, but I never felt we were in that much danger. We were coasting for much of the match and stepped up a gear (literally in Hazard's case) and went off into the distance. I really don't know how this team gave Spurs so much trouble in both legs to be quite honest.It was another performance where we actually looked like a team, where the defence was connected to the midfield and the midfield was connected to the attack and I think Rafa deserves some credit for that. Cahill looked good in defence, but Ivanovic got caught out for the goal. Azpi is getting back to his best after that dip in form too. The two main guys were Luiz and Hazard though - the former's goal was absolutely sensational but what I was impressed with was his restraint throughout the match. Before his goal he managed to perform his normal duties without getting into trouble, although once we were three goals clear he really did hold a lot back and I wasn't at all surprised to see him hoof the ball out when Ake was ready to come on. Between his goal and coming off, he was making sure he was about 2 yards away from any possible contact with a Basel player which is understandable because I would have been devastated if he had missed out.Hazard provided the difference though and was MOTM in my book. Just such a special player and I'm so excited to see him kick on from this season now that he's got experience of the league.But yeah, another final and a trip to Amsterdam. Got a chance to display my geographical ignorance when trying to work out how to make the journey by road when I suggested it might be thousands of miles away. Turns out it's about as far away as Newcastle....thank god for Google Maps otherwise I'd probably get lost going to the corner shop.BTW, how the fuck do UEFA work out that less than 10,000 tickets is acceptable? Twats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,141 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Moses was magnificent last night, tireless and a threat, well done again son.Gary Cahill also deserves a mention, after a long lay off he did brilliantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree here. Moses to me is one of the better signings of late. The amount of money paid for him, worth every cent, I feel. Still young enough to get better in years to come. Job well done here.
