Current squad vs 2004/05 squad

[the wes 7,212]

which squad is the best ????

[kellzfresh 7,229]

This squad looks like it will be more exciting to watch, but with the 2004/05 squadand its defensive strength, I was more confident of winning any match.

04/05 was less afraid to play ugly football and grind wins but I much prefer the current squad because they're amazing to watch.

If we had the Drogba of then I think it'd be a no brainer. Oh, and Lamps too...I think my dream Chelsea team would be complete.

EDIT: can't believe I forgot Joe Cole of the 1st Mou reign! Was my fav player when I was younger!

The current one is great to watch. Hope they can get a trophy soon. Then they will be comparable with the 04/05 squad.

The attacking prowess, and the strength of which, is the greatest we have over the 2004/5 quad - though i wouldn't bemoan a younger Drogba or Cole

Drogba - Costa

Hazard - Lamps - Robben

Makelele - Fabregas

Carvalho - Terry - Cahill

Courtois

Oh man oh man

Sorry to spoil the party but it was a either or debate here

The current squad is more amazing to watch, but have to wait to see how it progresses and what manages to get. The 2004/05 was not as flashy but it was a tank; organized, rocky, competitive, a team you had the feeling that no one could beat him. To this day I do not understand how not win a Champions League (Or maybe yes, a fucking phantom goal).

For me it must come down to the eating of the puddings; 04/05 2, 14/15 0 (to date), so I dismiss the claims of the current squad. They are welcome to reapply for consideration once they've actually won something.

Drogba - Costa

Hazard - Lamps - Robben

Makelele - Fabregas

Carvalho - Terry - Cahill

Courtois

Oh man oh man

Duff > Robben

Without a shadow of a doubt. Anyone who's watched us pre - 2006 wouldn't hesitate to put Duff ahead of Robben who in all reality is on there merely on name alone.

04/05 would win on the virtue of solidarity. The pragmatism is on another level.
