Last year we won the Big Teams league, but lost in the Other Teams league. This year we haven't been great against the top sides (though that can be amended by going unbeaten against Arsenal, United and Liverpool) but we've been terrific against the rest. Unlike La Liga, which is won by the victors of Barcelona-Real Madrid's two matches, the Premier League is won by the best team over 38 matches. Over the first 30, we've been the best team by a fucking mile. We have to win the league from here.

This is from the comments section from The Guardian. Think the blokes pretty much nailed it especially about Oscar. How can a kid go so backwards in a couple of seasons. Oscar is afraid to express himself and has completely lost his confidence. I am going to be massively pissed off if De Bruyne joins Man City and does well. As for Cuadrado he makes Shaun Wright Philips look like Luis Figo.

I've rarely seen a player as limited and average as that of Willian and Oscar starting this regularly for Chelsea, a team that has shifted Mata, Bryune, Schrulle and Salah to fit these players in. Intially there was this narrative that Oscar and Willian put in a defensive shift and run around a lot more than the likes of Mata and co. That seems such an English national team mentality!

Having watched qutie a few Chelsea games, I feel like the brilliance of Hazard completely overshadows the utter gash that's Oscar and Willian. What's the fucking point of Oscar? He neither defends, creates, scores or intercepts. What he does well is a lot of pressing. Fair enough. But what happens if you press a team, get the ball off them, and can't create anything from it? I presume you pass it to Fabregas, and he has the responsibility of finding Costa or Hazard. So, technically, out of 6 players in your team, only 3 can create or score goals. The other 3 are there to run around or defend. It's not shocking that Chelsea have underperformed in Europe and scraping past teams in last couple of months to the finishing line.

There were so many articles written about Mourinho intelligently addressed gaping holes in their squad by buying the likes of Fabregas, but looks like there are a lot more holes to be addressed that are just being papered over by the likes of Fabregas. I suggest a few youth players to be given their due chance next season - Baker, Ake and so, and not spunk money on another limited player and then sell/loan them to some other team.

This might seem too harsh, but it is an indictment of how poor this league is that a team as limited as Chelsea, is currently coasting towards a title

It is going to be a head to head on team form imo. But we have a big lead. This is truly where a good manager comes in that gets the wins/instills form. Go Mou!
