Closed Chelsea 3-0 Schalke

I know ronaldo is better, but he said hazard is as selfish as ronaldo which is wrong.

errr u twist my words a bit

i said hazard wants to be like ronaldo and messi, who scored 60 goals a season. im not saying anything about selfishness

but yeah, from what hazard said, he wants to be more selfish this season, and selfishness also can be good, as we expect from hazard

I see, Ronaldo as the most selfish player around. Even Sturridge is an amateur in comparison.

No selfishness is good. Football is a team sport. Just pass the ball to the best positioned player.

2) I don't think Lampard should play with Mata in the middle but not having either of them means we have very little creativity. It was an extremely defensive lineup and we were lucky to get up so Schalke had to spread themselves because before Schalke opened up, we had a hard time breaking them down.

And Torres.

why our strikers got three points, and in my opinion, it involved hazard's absense.

I get that. But I feel that attributing the root cause of non scoring strikers to Hazard is unfounded and bears no evidence.

That certainly is a concern that I have been pointing out recently. Despite all the creative attacking players we've got, it's mind blowing that we're still struggling to break down teams that go defensive against us. There's just nothing cohesive for us going forward and lately, most of our goals have come as a result of goalkeepers and defenders mistakes and counter attacks.

Mourinhos statement says it all really when asked about the performance in comparison to Newcastle.

"The problem is not the selection. The problem is the way we face the game and the way they commit themselves to a certain objective. It is not selection and punish players and lift players outside [the team] and bring other players.... Today we played not an unbelievable game but a solid one...there was solidarity"

A far superior analyses and conclusion than mere pointing at individual player performances, really.

Well, Ronaldo might be a bit selfish, but still a better player than Hazard, in my view. These two should not be compared, anyways.

only on this forum and by chelsea fans can u expect hazard to be compared with CR. there is a gap of light years between those 2 at the moment.

Yeah, but where's the fun in that?

Ah true .... it is also why soaps and tele novellas are so popular and populist politicians get so much hearing. Let's fill in the causal gaps with black/white, emotionally contagious and satisfying hoopla

That´s why we both are here. Where else can we have so much fun if not here ?

Redtube

or Assentube ?

[Stingray 9,441]

or Assentube ?

Lemonparty .... hands down.

[bushman 2,043]

May I ask for a little help ?

Since, I do not live in London, could any of you tell me whether Assenal is the most supported club in London ?

Today, in every paper, there is nothing but an Arsenal´s wankfest, after an undeserved win of last night.

It was wonderful how we came back from a bad result. A great team performance again, let's hope Newcastle was a blip, that was a fantastic result. I have always said I want what's best for Chelsea and always said I really want to see Etoo of old, we finally saw it last night. I will always say well done when deserved, great goals, Well Done Etoo, keep it up. The same for Ba a great goal considering his very limited playing time. Everyone else was very strong, Terry, Andre, Willian,Dave, very solid team performance.

Remember Remember we are going to rock in November
