nateevs: Ibime, Hazard did the hard work there. Ran at the defense committed defenders and found Pedro who was on the same wavelength.
Pedro injected the pace into the attack by getting the ball, quickly driving forward and continuing his run behind the defence. Hazard did what he's comfortable with, receiving the ball to feet. We no come to count dribbles at walking pace here which is what he's done all game. Not criticising, just saying
raumdeuter: First thing Laurent Blanc got to Man Utd when he was all but washed up and most people including me actually laughed at Laurent Blanc acquisition then. Its like saying George Weah, Nando Hierro were mediocre when they came to England
Terry was good yet didnt fit into AVB plans and was the one of those who campaigned against the Portuguese
Does Franco Baresi have the pace to play highline in modern day football?
Jerome Boateng must be better than Franco Baresi. QED.
These eediots will soon tell you Franco Baresi is not a great defender because he had no pace so cannot play "highline".
That is their only argument against Terry as a defender. Eediots.
Who cares if he can't play highline, majority of his career he played deep and was great within his system.
Same way Pirlo always needed two bodyguards beside him to play midfield yet is one of the greatest.
Laurent Blanc got routinely disgraced playing highline for Man Utd, yet it does not take away from his greatness.
I did not involve myself in Busquets debate when ninjas said he might struggle in a different system due to his lack of pace. Who cares? He is one of the greatest in the system he plays.
If a player is very good, the manager will find a way to fit the team around his strengths.
hensben: I pray we don't sign pogba, he is overpriced and a little bit overrated. He has poor passes and clinch to the ball way too much though he has good movement with the ball and can take shot as well.
I thought I was the only one who thought the same thing.
I have never seen him control the game as a conventional midfielder. I have seen him dribbling and shooting from the left-wing, right-wing and attacking positions but I have never seen anything to show me he can play effectively in a pivot. His ball retention/recycling and possession control leaves a lot to be desired.
Mourinholic: Mourinho: "If I don’t play Hazard and play De Bruyne or Andre Schurrle, they would have been playing for Chelsea, but Hazard wouldn’t." #cfc
Story for the Gods. If De Bruyne was given a chance, Oscar would be the one out the door, and so he should be.
lordfalcao: Small brain arguements is all i see here... I blame chelsea fans we dy give them face....
All because they lost to pedro, pedro never enter field play boys just dy para
You dey mind them. Whats the point beating chest over player wey never kick ball? Just like Manure fans were shoving Falcao in everyone's face last summer.
All this is childish annoying banter. My only concern is who will lift trophy in May.
airmark: Traore and moses loans may be part of Stones deal according to news.
I don't believe it.
If true, why didn't they just sell Moses when Stoke bid £9m for him?
Do you think Everton will proritise Moses and Traore over their own wingers Delofeu, Mirallas and Barkley who is now playing left wing. Not to mention Bryan Oviedo who does a great job on the wing, or Leon Osman, Pieenar or Aiden Mcgeady who is still there.
Best player at AFCON Christian Atsu is riding bench permanently at Bournemouth because they went and spent £7m on Gradel. The week after Palace took Bamford, they relegated him with Connor Wickham, while I don't see Ake getting minutes at Watford. Premier league clubs will always protect their own assets over someone elses. I doubt these lads will be given a fair chance. The only loyal manager you can trust with loan players is Mark Hughes.
Nihilist: Hmm...This might be good news for my Fantasy Football team
Ivanovic is a top centreback.
Too judge him solely as a right back would be harsh as that is not the position he trained for.
He's been doing us a favour playing there for years just like Azpi at left-back. It would be unfair to judge Azpi as a left-back also.
That's why I no too vex even though I know wingers have been washing Ivanovic for 3 years now.
If Roman wants to spend crazy money on Stones, it's his money as long as he gets the midfielder we need also. But ninjas should also recognise that Chelsea have 4 good quality centrebacks at the moment - Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry and Zouma.
Nihilist: Oddly enough, na fantasy research open my eyes.
I knew it was bad, but not this bad. The only back line worse than us is Sunderland
Swansea currently have the most resilient defence in the league
So y'all ninjas be researching this thing hard lije this? No wa, you go still finish behind Ipukulubiye FC
Mirror reporting that Chelsea board are now giving the green light to purchase a defender, central midfielder and attacker (I guess winger). Lets hope their eye don open and its not too late to claw back from this bad start and dampened morale.
Nihilist: Chelsea have conceded 30 crosses and 14 chances from the right flank(Ivanovic) in the last two games. Highest in the league
Chelsea have also conceded 23 goal attempts inside the box. Second highest in the league.
Wahala dey.
They should just return Ivanovic to centreback where he is prolly our best centreback. Every tricky agile winger has been washing him at that RB since 2012.
And when cross is coming in sef, you will see him focusing more on hiding his hands behind his back to prevent handball than closing down the attacker to stop the cross.
dyabman: I thought he would improve to be a better player as seasons go by I thought at worst he would replicate that 2011/2012 season I thought perhaps those injuries he had, had depreciated his confidence that he need's' more games to regain that tireless and box-to-box midfielder i first saw at benfica on Youtube.. but na lie .. I just don tire for am jare , make him dey pack hin load dey go Juve or Estudentes
Dyabman so you've been saying Ibime sucks all this while because of some form you believe he showed 3 years ago? Chei, Dyabs, there is hope for all of us if you can change mind on Ramires
Danhumprey: Seems like we are about to witness a repeat of what happened in 2007. '3rd season' syndrome,I think. The only difference is that,this time could be very 'special'.
Those familiar with Chelsea's recent history will understand what I'm saying. This is how it all started. The signs are all over,clear as daylight.
Chelsea play WestBrom next at the Hawthorns and we all know the Hawthorns ain't a good hunting ground for Chelsea.
That is how it all started but through no fault of Joses.
Frank Arnesen and Roman were forcing Shevchenko, Steve Sidwell, Tal Ben Haim and Khalid Boulahrouz on him, and he didn't react well. It is up to them to learn from history, not Jose. He knows what the team needs, not them.
