thekid9 418 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I hope Luis starts, it's time we start playing with a real LB. I love Azpi but he really isn't a LB, would be nice for Hazard to have someone to link up with.Yeah, lets change the best defensive unit in the BPL last year! least change a team thats storming the games so far..... what has Luis done to deserve to start ahead of Azpi ?

The Chels 2,502 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 what has Luis done to deserve to start ahead of Azpi ?What did Courtois do to merit starting over Cech, Costa over Torres? Being better in their respective positions last year is what, and that applies for Luis too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costa was miles better than Torres, can you say the same for Luis being better than Azpi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against teams like Swansea at home I don't see why Luis shouldn't play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Luis was one of the best all round left backs in Europe last year, if not the best. He'll get his chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgiannutt 3,201 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Yeah, lets change the best defensive unit in the BPL last year! least change a team thats storming the games so far..... what has Luis done to deserve to start ahead of Azpi ?Only reason we were the best defensive unit last year was because of our defensive (rigid) way of playing.Luis is the better option on the left. For a starter he actually is a left back and he'll offer us a lot more going forward while still doing his job defensively.Luis has proved himself as one of the best LB in the world last season but by all means let's keep benching him for a right back that offers nothing going forward.

cchuka 99 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I expect to see the same back four. Luis will probably get his chance next Wednesday versus Schalke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky 739 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Guys im going to be bold here.Predict a 4-0 Win with Costa(2), Schurrle, Hazard and JT to score.Swansea in my eyes are nothing special. Had a good run.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nike 373 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Swansea a good team. However, Chelsea should be able to beat them if they come to play... Maybe 2-1 Chelsea, with swansea scoring first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christacinto 137 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 The game which I believe Hazard will show an extraordinary performance. To be honest, I wish that. The team makes it going just perfect but it Hazard can't get along with others in the pitch right now. If he gets back to his standard, the team will be a lot better than it is now.I honestly don't understand the "Hazard's been average " vibe I've been getting across the forum so far. He's been solid to excellent in all 3 games imo,having a much better start than any of his previous seasons. I mean, just because costa and fabregas are reaping the glory, we shouldn't misjudge Hazard's decent form, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's because the team did just great, Hazard seemed a bit worse than the team, I don't know. But I think he definitely doesn't show as good performance as team does.

Azpi was excellent defensively last season but didn't offer anything going forward. He was excused from that as we simply didn't have another left back that could offer us defensive solidity AND offer us something going forward. Now we do.That really is a weak argument. If you go by that logic then we can stop debating about everything and just close this forum.Mourinho isn't automatically right. He is human. Not every decision he makes is the right one.
