i want to understand this. we are mentioning llorente and giroud.

if we compare costa and lukaku who look likely of the two to do what llorente and giroud do. we all know the answer and it isnt costa. he actually doesn't have a head to use in heading balls.

i am asking again can anybody convince themselves that all the crosses that were delivered today, lukaku would not have knocked one in with his head or with is back facing goal . 

i watched his game against greece and he did quite well carring the team to salvage a point and almost take all three in a side without Hazard or KDB

Let's be honest. Lukaku and Belgium struggled against Greece and only got that equalizer because Greece were sent down to 10 men. Apart from that he did not make an impact.

Lukaku is not header specialist strikers like llorente. 

Tight games you need this type of players, it is why we get bail out by defenders a lot of times because that's one of their specialty. 

Wouldn't it be good to have that option from the bench in a striker? Weather is for headers or just a poacher? 

I remember chicharito was a great poacher. Not a player you build your team around but great to have on the bench and come for games like this. 

I see that in morata.

Funny enough we used to have our own super sub in Kalou.

I was re-watching some of our older matches the other week and I can't stress enough how useful it is to have a player that's willing to come off the bench and save or win you points. 

Honestly thought Traore was going to be our next version of Kalou but Abraham probably has a better chance next season. I don't see Bats staying...

We have made lots of terrible purchases. Mutu, Crespo, Kezman, Torres, Schevchenko just off the top of my head. 

Why didn’t it work out at Chelsea?
David Fisher, via Facebook

I had some very difficult personal problems during my time at Chelsea. My family lost two children. Emotionally, it was very, very hard to go through all of that on a personal level. Professionally, it was great. The fans were unbelievable. They sang [he breaks into song] “Hello, hello! Hernan Crespo, Hernan Crespo!” I wanted to give something back as I felt I had their respect. I had fun with Chelsea. The English have great respect for footballers. I loved London. I would run all the way there if I had the chance to go back.

At the risk of going OT, I wouldn't put Crespo in the flop list. Apart from his injuries, he was heavily rotated by Claudio in his first season but he generally did well when he was used.

In Mourinho's 2nd season he was superb in some games( the Liverpool game comes to mind where he got a beauty incorrectly chalked off) but again was good in the majority of games he was used in.

We won the Premier League with him contributing equally with Drog goals-wise, no way he was a terrible purchase.

People refuse to see that he has completely dropped Chelsea and Conte. Doesn't give a fuck anymore. 

If only he had the same mentality like for example Luiz. Cunt.

Are you going to be happy if Chelsea win the league ?

I don't think he's a Chelsea fan. 

He seems more like a troll that was once banned and came back with a different account.....

Hopefully what he says translates to what happens on the pitch this Wednesday.

Feels like a big Diego day for me. Loves the big occasion. Will fire us into a Win.

[Unionjack 7,531]

You should hear what my father in law says about the players when they dont do owt or fuck up. And hes supported us home and away since the 50s and aint nobody going to tell me hes not a real Chelsea supporter. He just doesn't pat them on the back saying oh well.

I've always loved Diego ever since he joined us and Ive always had his back and found excuses to what his problem was.

But gotta say hes making it hard for me to come up with any more.

Theres many reasons that it COULD BE hes not firing on all cylinders and I'm sure we can all make a long list but IF even 1/2 the reason is hes had his head turned by another club I wish he would just get his head back to the Diego before Xmas and the lads give him some sort of crisis intervention!!

Lets hope so. I miss the guy, he has been invisible for too long now.

Agreed its been a rough couple of months for him, the Jan transfer window must have messed with his head more than any of us know. I think the CP loss will snap him back and he will finish up strong. Positive thoughts!

[Beigl 1,387]

His link up play was absolutely atrocious again. He didn´t even win a single header today, which would have been vital in the last 20 minutes. 

I really miss the times with Didier upfront, who was a master at laying off the ball for our players. Diego can be glad that he doesn´t have any competition for his place in the starting XI, otherwise he would have been benched a long time ago.

He's become a f*cking liability. The whole game he was playing carefree, the fact that he knows that he'll start the next game however he plays in real time is the one thing that really boils blood. I can't wait till his self-entitled ass f*cks off. Conte should freaking stop pampering to him, starting him unconditionally game after game.

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Absolutely shocking yet again. Nothing else to add really.... To what we've all been saying for months. 

[marflow 39]

I think we would be better off with Hazard-Pedro-Willian, if Costa continues with these performances.
