They werent great goal scorers but they made sure Hidden Pius Ikedia looks like a pub player

Robben 24 CL goals , Ribery 17 CL goals

Hidden 5 3 are penalties so in the real sense of it Hidden has 2 CL goals from open play. He would be 25 in January

Hidden Puts the P in Pathetic

When would Hidden win his team a CL trophy Like Robben or Ribery

Last year Hiddens useless dribble was one of the reason Chelsea couldnt dominate 10 men PSG,
2 seasons ago, Hidden was the reason Chelsea was knocked out.
3 seasons ago Hidden had to miss the final for Chelsea to win Europa cup after his useless displays crashed the defending champs out of the CL in group stages

u self no even knw say hazard get injury.

Griffon:
And yeah, i don't think it's entirely wrong for Jose to drop Hazard for not being defensively astute.

We're not new to this sort of thing. He [Jose] did it with Loftus-Cheek last season.

He's the manager, if he thinks you have to buy into his work ethics, it's left for you to help yourself out.

The man is under pressure, and would do about anything to save his job, even if it means to bench the fans' favorite.

are u 4 real? He does nt criticise hm 4 his drop in attack, bt in defence nd u support it? Nawao

FBS:
you lost me there but that's fine. I don't care if he is playing or the most creative or not as long as the team is winning.

hazard or our attack has nt bn our greatest problem dis season, it has bn d defence nd midfield. My surprise is that mou has 4 once criticized d worst player so far, bt chose to criticise an attacker 4 nt defending instead of criticising d defender 4 nt defending. I tink mou is mad. This is d craziest think i hv heard hm say. I am begining to tink he has a third season syndrome. I may support his sack if he continues to misbehave.
Imagine! Instead of criticizing d lad in d attack aspect, d old man chooses d other. If i may ask, wat did pedro do wel today? Hw many times were wingers up against baba 2day? Shit! Is mou crazy?

FBS:
By this time last season we were 1st in the league. By this time last season, I had a different neighbor. This time last season it wasn't snowing in Moscow or in Tula. The point is, what's that got to do with anything?

i hv just told u dat hazard's chance creating rate has increased 4rm dat of last season that he was d most creative.

FBS:
How many points from last season are carried over to the current one? 5,10,20 It's zero!

The most creative in the EPL this season is NOT Eden. This is a fact, so what are you on about?

by dis time last season, hazard nt also the most creative. His tally increased by d season.

FBS:
Abeg enlightened us, how many chances were created by Eden in the last 5 matches?

u wl nt beliv it dat his chance creating rate increased wt respect to dat of last season.

Chelsea was toothles today, bt they won d great battle dat was fought in d midfield today due to commitment, though i am nt satisfied wt d performance. We stil nid 2 improve in attack.

To b frank, hazard is d biggest threat we have in our attack. Without hm, we hardly create clear cut chances. Just take d villa game 4 instance, we could threaten.
I cn nw confirm dat mou kills attackers ability; Imagine his excuse 4 benching hazard. He turns attackers to defenders.

Again, chelsea won today bcus they played wt commitment nd aggresion wich has bn lacking since dis season. They were all marking wt relentlessly. Iva's absence was anoda tin. The next we nid nw is hazard to b bk on form nd nt to grow tired wt mou's tactics wich cn cause hm to leave d club.

AdeLaNa1:
Aston Villa should just make ma day and slot one in na....

they wl neva, bcus iva is nt dia to let them.

Look at how mou would hv gotten himself sacked just bcus of ivan. He shld thank his God 4 givin d idiot injury.

As much we are nt happy wt the defeats, i dnt tink we have problem wt our attack. Where d greatest problem lies is in our midfield, followed by our defence. Chelsea's problem hv bn d midfield. If d midfield is stable nd able to protect d defence, there wl no nid 4 d attackers to cum into d midfield nd leave d opponent backline free. Our attackers kip cuming into d midfield to help them, thereby nt putting pressure on d opponents backline.
Then again, the weakness in our defence made available by ivan is nt helping d odas at all. They are always trying to cover his mess, thereby disorganising d backline.
Our players no longer play wt committment, motivation nd desire. They dnt knw hw to mack opponent again. Look at fab against newcastle; allow d person he is supposed to mack get a free header, all he could do was to pip if d ball was actually in d net. Ramires also did d same tin against porto. What is wrong wt dis players for pete's sake?

I may stop watching chelsea matches if i see ivanovic line up against soton on saturday. Mourinho is already getting me angry with him.
I dnt even understand d player. Look at d defence in shatters, the midfield in disarray, the attackers cnt think out of d box again. Nothing! No intensity, no passion, no strength, no organisation nd understanding, no clue! What is really the problem. Nawao.
If this attacking strategy cnt win us matches, let us just go back to our bus parking, abeg. We nid winning nt possession.
Btw, what kind of line up nd formation was mou trying to play today? Wat did he wnt to achieve wt dat?

Ibime:
How old is Mikel? When has Mikel ever been sharp?

Why do Nigerians like lieing to themselves? Sending out a 35 year old man to do the job of a 25 year old.

The same Mikel that senior P Square in Pepsi Academy in Jos?

bt u watched mikel under RDM. Wasn't he d main man in dat midfield? That was hw u always cast ramires, bt luk at hw he has played beta than ur best players in the last two matches. He bailed us yesterday o.

Chelsea are nt performing wel nw nd evry1 hv suddenly bcum analysts. Giving solutions hia nd dia, both those who dnt knw hw to kick a ball nd those who dnt knw jack abt soccer; all are nw coaches.

Ibime:
Who? Loftus? Let's see. That is ifs, buts and maybes at this point.

No be so some guys say Oscar was the missing link when we beat Arsenal last week?

I believe a part solution coulda been found in Van Ginkel, maybe even Romeu and Ake. . . but please don't refer me back to the 4-year failed project of Mikel and Ramires. Insanity would be going back to the same old failures and expecting different results.

the team just lost passion nd zeal. No 1 is playing wt all his heart unlike last season. The ones on d bench have more passion than d first eleven. The solution is just to alter d first eleven a little. Take 4 instance, ivan; wen he spoils d play, he does nt even feel anytin. He continues to play rubbish evry matchday. The team is losing nd they are smiling. The play a draw nd they are happy. I tink d issue is "complacency".

Ibime:
You have identified the problem but not the right solution. No be Mkel dem wash for Goodison Park? The solution does not lie within the squad.

it is nt true. I dnt agree wt u. When was d last time mikel played 3 straight matches 4 90mins. Hw do u expect hm to hv that sharpness nd match fitness. That is d problem.

Ibime:
Been at a wedding all day. . . .just seen highlights. . . .I've never seen anything like what Zouma did for that first goal in all my years watching footie. . . . .and 2nd goal, Fabregas was meant to be marking Wijnaldum. . . .since when does my Chelsea rely on short players like Fabregas to mark from corners. . . . that na the start of turning Chelsea into Arsenal.

fabregas is nt short, rather he was nt fit nd was nt playing wt zeal nd passion. Dis was d same 4 matic. The two were d main problem we had, i.e. d midfield. The midfield was so free 4 newcastle. They parked d midfield nd choked fabregas, nd matic was nt helping at all.
My suggestion is that mou shld gv mikel d chance to prove wat he cn do in dat midfield. He shld start parking dat midfield. Teams hv discovered d weakness in dat midfield wich is lack of strength and power.

Mourinholic:
Dey whine yourself

just relax, we wl make england proud against all d odds.

Chestar5:
hmmmmmnnn, lets be realistic... We aint winning d league anymore, maybe we will enta top 4 if truly our season starts nxt week.......

i stil beliv we cn win d league. Man city that was my only fear has already began 2 drop points. D league wl b crazy dis season. I am nt sure d champions wl get upto 80 points.

Chelsea epl season starts next week. Seems lyk d fa purposely gave chelsea those that are always difficult 4 us to win in d beginning matches to kill our confidence. Wel, we wl win porto, soton, aston villa nd westham. Then, the real chelsea wl properly emerge.

Mou has won at st. James park twice in a cup competition. U guys shld nt wori.

Make una no worry 4 st. James park, mourinho go break dat spell today.

coogar:
i said there are 8 players in the world right now who can play better than hazard in hazard's primary position....

outrightly better than hazard?
all the 8 players mentioned are outrightly better than hazard.
david silva is 300 times better than hazard and so are reus, sanchez,
bale, neymar, robben, etc.

only chelsea fans rate hazard.....the intelligent chelsea fans have even
warned the mumu ones to stop comparing hazard to players like neymar,
silva or bale cos the comparison isn't there.

the only thing hazard has is
potential and for what we have seen this season, it's starting to
look as if hazard peaked last season already and he has already hit his flat-line.

does silva play as a left midfielder? I hv told u d players that play in somewhat similar positions wt hazard. CR7 is d only player that cn b said to b undisputably beta at d moment.
Abt silva being beta; he has bn in d league 4 seasons nd is yet to win d Bpl, pfa or fwa player of d yr. Bt, dis hazard won all of dis last season playing in d same league wt d said player.

coogar:
robben
ronaldo
reus
neymar

david silva
gareth bale
alexi sanchez
iniesta

out of d players u mentioned, i cn only see sanchez, ronaldo, neymar nd maybe reus that plays n d same position wt hazard. Bale no longer plays n dat position. After all, it is only ronaldo that cn b outrightly said to b beta dn hazard in dat position currently. Others are debatable.

coogar:
so why do you think hazard is world class when there are at least 8 players in the
world right now better than him in the position he plays?

cn u name d eight players pls?

LogoDWhiz:
For the 'chestbutt'
And the 'wiping' of Kos' face

the ref or linesman didn't see d later. The former is nt a red card offence. Did u also see the clear penalties dat were nt given?

LogoDWhiz:
I tel u!

Some people are just quick to judge this whole scenario because it's chelsea.

exactly. Chelsea get many haters o.

LogoDWhiz:
Going our way in the sense that the red decided to give Gabriel a red card.

Also, another ref could have given Costa red card.

given him red 4 wat?

LogoDWhiz:
Lol!

Well, it's nice to see a decision go our way for once this season.

wat do u mean by goin our way. Costa's shoving of kosh wt his chest is neva a red card offence, unless it is d one he did wt his hand wich d ref didn't c. What then do u hv to say abt gabriel pushing hazard down inside d box or costa being pull down in d box too? Two clear penalties.

LogoDWhiz:
Btw, it wasn't a headbutt.
Maybe 'chestbutt'

what costa did deserves a yellow, and thats what he got. U only get a red wen u attack wt ur hand or head. Costa is always careful nt to do that. I dnt knw y alot of us dnt knw d rules of d game. Wat he did to kols wit his chest is nt regarded as "violent conduct", so he gets no red. Y dnt u wonder y he has neva gotten a red in all of those acts.

sinizia:
I miss the days of Collina, Costa would've been walking on egg shells just seeing him on the pitch. No wonder UEFA/FIFA don't take EPL refs serious. The head-butt worth a Black card alone!!

wia u c head butt? Chest dn bcum head?

Chelseafan1:
Later some haters will come here to tell me he dribbles senselessly with no effect...smh, the scintillating dribbling nd take ons are what we all are missing about his games so far, very soon, 'Oluomo' Eden will overtake Robben as the 2nd world best dribbler.

Hazard should be rated 93, Robben 92

for d past two seasons, hazard has ranked above robben in completed dribbles. He even came ahead of messi in d past season. Seems like ea sports are nt updated.
