bababoom 4,478 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Surely Paulo Ferreira in his first two season > Ivanovic? Cech Ferreira - Carvalho - Terry - A.Cole Essien - Lampard Robben - Zola - Hazard DrogbaThought i go for something different. The three behind Drogba...

manpe 10,861 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I'd say the 2005-06 team. It was basically the same as 04/05 but the new signings had been fully integrated and accustomed to whatever they needed to adapt to, plus it was the season a certain Michael was brought in. That team, for me, was more complete than the 04/05 one, but that team was amazing too.CechFerreira - Carvalho - Terry - GallasMakeleleEssien - LampardRobben - Drogba - J.Cole And then you had the likes of Duff, Gudjohnsen, Crespo, Geremi, SWP and Cudicini ready to step up.

didierforever 7,349 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 2007-08. That team was just PERFECT. How that team could not win a trophy that seasom would always continue to baffle me. It actuqlly felt like that team could have done a treble/quadruple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrique 9,133 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Best team still is the one that lost the 08 UCL final. 09/10 was also immense with 100+ goals. Im not talking about the quality of the squad only, but more about the quality of the football.But I do believe the current team will be the best, easily. The quality we have in the squad is just out of this world. All the past teams were unbalanced, and there wasnt a player like Hazard.

It actuqlly felt like that team could have done a treble/quadruple.Manchester team was slightly better. 08 and 09 UCL finals were insane in terms of quality. That SAF team was his finished product as manager. Ronaldo was just on fire, and you still had Tevez and Rooney. I remember back then than United team was considered the best in the world, and in 09 UCL final most people considered red devils favorites over Barcelona.The team was far from perfect on the pitch. Mourinho left because he could not make all those players work as a team. 06/07 was disappointing, and the season started really slow. Avran Grant managed to make the team work really well, and we produced some of the best football of Abramovich era, thats why I consider that team to be the best.

Tomo 21,751 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 04-05 to 07-08 we were insane, the consistency we had was inhuman, 12 league defeats in 4 seasons, all but 3 being by the 1 goal. Win for ages have one setback and go again. If it wasn't for a ridiculous injury list we would have won 4 on the trot. If only Jose and Roman agreed to see out 07-08 together before letting Mou go on his European tour.Summer 2008 we should have started the re-building process, although we still stayed at top form for the 2 years after i felt we were not re energising the squad and it will come back to bite us and in 10-11 it did just that.Hopefully lessons are learned this time round.

sdrcfc 461 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 RB:Ivanovic, Belle, Petre or Ferreira?... Or Bosingwa.I'm probably missing someone obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike 7,492 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 RB:Ivanovic, Belle, Petre or Ferreira?... Or Bosingwa.I'm probably missing someone obvious. I'd say Ferreira. Belletti shouldn't even be up for discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Hard to say really. Any of the teams 2004-2008 were amazing. The 09-10 season was one of our best, but by then, the team didn't have the same depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustafa 885 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Its actually weird that I see this thread today because just a few moments ago out of nowhere I just thought to myself... urrghhh I wish Hazard and Drogba played together at Chelsea and then BAM 2 pages of Drogba and Hazard in a Best Chelsea team ever.

Rmpr 8,977 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 As Alex and others pointed out, the 2007-08 team was the best team we ever had!A shame we didnt win a trophy that season, but we did get very close to winning both the League Cup and the Champions League though...

boshman 1,073 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Agree with 07-08 team. Was only one luckily given pen in the league cup final, two stupid dropped points in the last minute to wigan (and heskey scored.... D'OH) and JT slipping away from winning 3 trophies. Oh what might have been... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boshman 1,073 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Also i will add to that!! If we got past Barnsley in the 1/4 final of the FA Cup (how did we lose that) Would have had Cardiff in the semi and Pompey in the final. Again, oh what might have been.....

Wimbledonblue 94 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 My all time Chelsea 11 - (from the players I have witnessed) CechIvan Terry Desailly Cole Makelele Essien LampardRobben Hazard DrogbaManager: Who else? Jose.That team would beat most. World class keeper, the complete back four, the best DM in history (arguably), the power of Essien, the goals of Lampard, the pace and trickery of Robben / Hazard with 'the big man' up top. Find me a better Chelsea 11 and I'll find you a pig that can fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
