29 starts and 22 goals is the stats since he joined half way through last season. *This* season in Serie A he has 10 goals from 18 appearances. Milan have had two penalties this season, one of which Balotelli missed (First time he has ever not scored from the spot). So its 9 "normal" goals from 18 appearances in the league for a team that is REALLY struggling in the Serie A this year (currently 10th). Still impressive if you ask me. I've said before I think with the right guidance (JM) he could be exactly what we need. For Man City at the age of 21 he had the highest goals per minute ratio in a season (2011/2012 - I think) in the premier league - even beating Aguero.

So many statisctic monkies on this forum lately. To truly evaluate a player you need to look at his performances over the course of a season and whilst I will be the first to admit he has definitely been off the boil lately in the last 2-3 games (especially vs. Everton), prior to that and for the best part of the first half of the season he was phenomenal. Let's not forget we also played 4-3-3 in some of our key matches so Oscar had to sit those games out. To say that he isn't creative is nonsense, you are just comparing him to Mata's creativity and whilst hands down Mata was the more creative player what Oscar brings as an all-round player, for me, easily outweighs Mata.

Dave got the full 90 minutes tonight. Ashley only paid 45 and played really well. Dave is young, might be worth resting him and giving him Ash the nod. Torres had one of his stand out performances against Tottenham at start of season, I think he should definitely start (Apart from the stupid red card obviously). Lampard didn't play and will be well rested. Cech Ivano Terry Cahill Cole Matic Lampard Schurrle - Wilian - Hazard Torres

Just scored for Egypt. Anyone see it?

Isn't shevchenko a Ukrainian politician now? Maybe Roman and Putin plotted this entire stand off against Ukraine to get back at the striker for being such a massive flop for us.

Schurrle seems logical but I think over 90 minutes Hazard was again our star man and created the goals today. Schurrle a very close second for his second half performance. Azpi was a beast again today, as was Matic and Cahill.

I think hes one of the best finishers in our team so why not? Surely better than what we have at the moment? Hes brilliant for germany when played up top.

Would really love to see Schurrle giving a chance to play striker for us. I think he could be prolific.

We really need our other midfield to step up. Can't keep relying on Hazard. Schurrle is poor in possession, get Wilian on. Luiz warming up, I can see him taking Oscar off and going 4-3-3.

Decent Torres. More please.

1. Fulham (away) : 0-1 WIN 2. Tottenham (home) : 0-2 WIN 3. Aston Villa (away) : 2-1 WIN 4. Arsenal (home) : 2-1 WIN 5. Crystal Palace (away) : 0-2 WIN 6. Stoke City (home) : 1-0 WIN 7. Swansea City (away) : 0-2 WIN 8. Sunderland (home) : 3-0 WIN 9. Liverpool (away) : 2-1 WIN 10. Norwich City (home) : 4-0 WIN 11. Cardiff City (away) : 0-3 WIN Yes I do believe we will win the rest of our games :D

I'm sorry but this is utter nonsense. We have the best defense in the league, a really solid centre mid (maybe needs a Lampard replacement) and an excellent attacking midfield. We just lack a striker. Comparing us to Utd is f**king ridicolous. Don't know why I'm even getting wound up in a matchday thread, always the same people posting this nonsense! Top of the league and got a good result to go through to the next leg. Stop being so negative

Didn't think Torres should of come off, was causing a lot more problems than Eto'o did. Good result in the end. They won't beat us at the bridge.

We are seriously bottling it on the counter. Need some pace, Salah would be perfect if he was fit.

Errr why did Sky just show us playing 2 up top?

Went to the game yesterday, we played really well but Everton were really up for this. Motm for me was Azpi I can't believe how far he has come, he is an absolute rock on the pitch. It's clear were missing something in attack and we all know what that is, lets take what we can from this season and then make a big signing in the summer. And thankfully it won't be that fat injury prone knobhead Rooney.

Didn't think Bayern were that impressive tonight, especially for the first twenty minutes. Ozil is a fast becoming a complete flop for Arsenal. Seriously, wtf was that pen?

Some tickets have been made available on the website but I can't seem to get in using my phone. Can someone tell me which seats are available please?

Anyone who thinks Jose didn't setup or prepare to win this game just like he does every other game (time constraints considered) clearly doesn't know nothing about Jose. Jose wants to win EVERY GAME.

Who is this commentator? "Chelsea have won the premier league twice before, once with Mourihno, once with Ancelotti".

Stream please anyone? BTSports showing Cardiff vs Villa. Retarded.

I don't use any of the other's but I'm not sure this is the busiest. Also the official chelseafc.com message boards are pretty busy. With this being an English speaking forum, and Chelsea not having as much support in the UK compared to Liverpool and Man Utd (my opinion, not a fact) I guess that would also be another reason why our forums aren't as busy as the others. I think our world wide support is pretty impressive though. I'd say were up there with the top 3 from the BPL at least.
