Does that also explain why a 36yo drogba is ahead of him in the pecking order?

I don't know. The manager is the one that has to chose. But between Costa and Drogba/Remy there is no doubt... Costa has something like 14 goals and is our main ST. The other 2 will play when Costa needs some rest or can't play.

The other 2 have no option.

Remy can start on the wing and actually not play as a winger, like Anelka did. He would make runs, a concept that's alien to Willian, and give us another goal threat.

It might fail against good teams, but worth trying in those games where we dominate at SB.

Mourinho pretty much said as much in his interview with Ferdinand. He said, while managing Madrid, that even when the conceded first it didnt matter because the other teams were pushovers. Was he lying?

Manager talk. Players do the same. Fabregas said La Liga was better when he moved to Barca, Bale said La Liga's better not long after his move. They have to promote the league/country their active in, also makes their job sound harder.

Watch games, it's a quality league. The lesser teams in the PL park the bus against the top sides more, which makes them harder to beat, but that doesn't mean they're quality. The results in the European competitions don't lie.

Men will say their wife is best ,, then fuck the scrubber next door ,,, oops this should be on the Lampard thread

I disagree.. He may be more dangerous behind the stirker, but in the pivot he is like the engine of the team. I think he is more useful with Matic in the midfield. Also, Ramires and Mikel wouldn't be good replacement. If we sign a top DM like Pogba or Nainggolan next summer we can talk about pushing Fábregas forward.

Perhaps, although the idea of having him positioned a little further up is tantislizing. Please bear in mind this is theory crafting for when starting both Costa and Remy together.

Mourinho does a speak a lot of BS. He called La Liga the best league in the world when he was there. And if it was so easy for RM why did he only get 85 points in his final season?

He needs to play more. It's unfortunate for him (not for us) that we have Costa who has hit the ground running but, and as much as I like how Drogba has played this season, he should be ahead of him, not ALL the time but quite a few games I've been baffled when he hasn't got the nod. Hopefully he gets more chances in the long run because whats the point in having him? Keep up the good work Loic! Your building up a solid rapport with the talk chelsea fanbase!

I have stopped listening to ANYTHING Jose says .. I make my own judgements on what I see on the field.

IMO Jose is an excellent coach .. but I won't say more ,..

I think we should experiment two upfront at some point with him and Costa.

Costa played in a two at Atletico but it requires a lot of tactical discipline and defensive work from the wingers - Willian would be okay but I'm not sure about Hazard.

Really like this guy, feel if he gets a run of games he will prove invaluable. always says the right things in interviews and despite not playing loads seems to be amongst the goals and content with his time at Chelsea! Understands its a tough lineup to crack. 'It's Remy, it's Remy, it's Remy, it's Remy, scoring goals for Chelsea it's Remy' To the Beatles Let It Be.

But I've seen articles before saying the lesser teams in the PL are richer/have squads with higher value than the teams in other leagues. And to be honest that sounds right. Even the worst teams in this league are not complete pushovers to be roflstomped by the top teams. The PL does feel more balanced in every regard, the worst teams are not as shitty as in other leagues, the middle of table teams are slightly better on average and the top teams are not as much of powerhouses as R. Madrid and Bayern for instance.
