Exactly, he got the job because his tongue is in the right places, I bet his gagging for that managers job at some point like Grant got it. If Drogba got the job then we can say how many years was he at Chelsea, he put his body on the line for the club and won many trophies. Experience is second to none and will have a real connection to the fans.

Chelsea lose to Leicester to stop Spurs winning the league, I can't think of better way to celebrate my day getting pissed, come on Leicester

Chelsea to throw the game to stop Spurs from winning the league, absolutely.

Yep your right. I actually think Oscar is a better player going forward than William. William should use his biggest asset which is pace and just get down the byline and put in crosses, it's simple but effective. We are still waiting for a good William cross. His corners are terrible. When people mention a players work rate it's not always a good thing, it's basically because he don't have much else to his game. Ramires comes to mind, works hard but terrible first touch, couldn't pass but come up with a great goal here or there. Same with Milner. William works in a team when you have an in form Hazard who won't track back as much.

Pretty sure Salah has been sold hasn't he. I think Cuadrado, Cahill, William and Matic deserve another season. Cuadrado was never given a fair go like Salah wasn't. There's a good player in Matic, just had an awful season. How much would we get for Cahill? Surely he is a good squad player with Zouma, Terry and one other CB. Get Ake back in the squad. I would defiantly sell Oscar and Mikel. Remy hasn't had much of chance but his always injured. Ivanovic should be sold but that won't ever happen. I wouldn't be suprised if there was only 2-3 big signings, but Chelsea also need player to bolster the squad like up front and in midfield.

His time is up, his got to go.

Your spot on and i have said this before. The years before Courtois was number one Cechs form was defiantly deteriorating, his still a top class keeper but more mistakes was creeping in. If you have the option of having Courtois who was basically free after all the loan fess Madrid paid you take him. If Courtois let that goal in yesterday Cech did this thread would be going mad.

You can always find players to dig in, Milner and Ramires. There's only room for one runner in a team. But saying you earn the privelage to stay or not because you run is abit overboard. If Hazard wants to leave let him leave, no point in keeping unhappy players.

Someone can have the privilege to leave Chelsea because they run a lot. Give me 100k a week and I'll run for ya. William is very limited in attack and doesn't create a lot, tbh has he done anything this second half of the season. Yes he runs a lot, didn't see much of it against City though. William is a player if someone puts in a good offer you would probably sell him. But he won't be gone because Chelsea won't be selling too many players.

Reids dive for West Ham was worse than Vardys, he flew across the box and hardly got touched. He simply knew he just had to hit the floor and it was pen, touched or not.

20m buyout clause, as Merson likes to say it's a no brainier. I can see Arsenal sniffing around him though, but if the papers, pundits and fans want Arsenal to buy Kante, Wenger won't do it out of principal lol.

Funnily enough I reckon Rodgers is a better manager than Hiddink, for tactics and style of play. Could even treat the fans to a sub. Hiddink was the right man in the way he butters up all the players, tactically I don't think his great though.

You reply to a post about Defoe but don't actually talk about him, weird. Defoe is a proven PL goal scorer for many years. Actually he is a top finisher and always has been, before the season I would of taken him over Pato, Falco or Remy. Whether he would of come though to play second fiddle is a different story but his no one season wonder. Costa needs some competition.

Yeah let's all blame the youngster. Chelsea have been waiting for a good cross from William for how long? Let alone his free kicks. Fabregas was awful and can't play a midfield 2. Pedro isn't really a creative player. Apart from that why can't Costa chase things down, Vardy makes lots of chances by running defenders down.

Leicesters fixtures are not to bad. They will fancy there chances at Utd, big pitch and catching Utds defence on the counter should suit them. Everton look poor and Chelsea, we make Everton look good lol

Brilliant brilliant brilliant I hate Spurs and Arsenal

It's the consistency that's the worst part.

What a dive by Reid, that was embarrasing

I don't think we have performed any better, the only real difference is Costa who decided to lose some weight, actually get in the box and run once Mourinho left.

Maybe they was a title winning squad because of Mourinho. Performances under Hiddink havnt improved much, results havnt a great deal and Hiddink played for draws and not losing than going for wins. Chelsea wouldn't of got relegated, Mourinho got sacked because he lost the players, a club will never sell all the players so there's only one way it's going to go. Me personally I would rather sell some players and teach them a lesson who's boss.

Don't forget Hiddink brought us back Mikel, come on don't hide the excitement ;)

Your very much in the minority there.

I'm taking the p*** because somehow Ivanovic gets a new contract when he has been truly awful but the club leave Terry waiting this long. Terry is still Chelsea's best CB and one of the best in the prem.

How do you know Matic wouldn't perform better now? His had a break and like i have said it makes more sense than playing Mikel, but don't Guus will ever drop him.

I reckon there's more chance Ivanovic will be Chelsea manager before Terry ;)
