Just to point out some people leave 15 mins early regardless of the score, if I go to a 7.45 kick off I have to leave early or I won't make the midnight train (the last train of the evening) when I get back to Kent, sucks for champions league games especially when we're losing I must look very unloyal lol :p

I wonder how he would of fitted in with the squad last season. He's been bad but so have a lot of our players, and some of them have had a lot more game time.

Mata actually wanted to play for us unlike hazard

Nothing to do with his form this season I've always felt like that about hazard, I think he should be playing for a team like Madrid it's where he inevitably will want to go, at least when Ronaldo was more then likely gonna go from man u he still managed to perform up to the standard that's expected of him. And quite honeslty I'd rather have mata then hazard

If you haven't seen it there's a guy on YouTube feroze17 does the best champions league tribute when we won it and he's got some cool videos.

Did you play wolf among us? I was gonna get lifeisstrange but I didn't think it would be as good, I'm gonna play it now anyway lol incase it's better

Mate you need to accept the guy doesn't want to player for Chelsea his whole life, I'd be surprised if he wants to be here right now. Sell him and move on is what I think, your silly if you think he's gonna be the next lampard

i think we were the only defending champions league team to not make it through the group stage the following year too XD

I was thinking maybe the target now is to aim for top 6 or 7 and rebuild next year what other options are there, as I don't see how sacking Jose will help us out. Hazard could go in January too I'd be more then happy to see the back of him

Agree The performances got worse toward the end and us winning the leafue like someone just said was alot to do with joses tactics he beasted it against all our closest rivals, city were s**t in the sense they dropped stupid points, like we have done now, doesn't mean their whole season was s**t, and it wasn't an easy title for us at all we just haven't improved the team at all, but tbf even I expected them to come out playing like the start of last season

Compared to some other strikers yeah, it may have paid off well for us last season but other teams have stepped it up now and they know how he plays, plus when the team plays poor it's not like Costa has the pace to do anything special up there he's a sitting duck unless the team play well. but I hope he proves me wrong anyway

I always hoped we would get someone a little different after Drogba, maybe torres put them off lol, but I honestly think Costa is a second choice striker, I'd take a 26 year old zola any day until we have another forward like that we'll never challenge in Europe imo

It was more about having someone their to give baba an option as like has been stated he looked nervous and this was probably taken into account before the game, which is one of the many things that football manager games dont take into account , I love the game but don't try and compare it to managing a real football team especially on the scale of premier league teams lol.

Spot on. the stick Ivan has got is a little unjustified but he still has no excuse to just not try, he could still put the effort in, and I think that's enough reason to give baba a shot.

You gotta be pretty good to get first team placement on any prem team maybe people's conception of the word elite differs I don't care I just copied the words from an article anyway, it was more to just point out maybe Jose thinks the problem isn't the full back but maybe the midfield in which case he isn't going to change his best rb of last season

With the exception of Walsall yes you seriously underate premier league players with that comment.

It is their job if their manager says so, which was the case last season but mainly favregas and matic helping out so I do agree they shouldn't be relying on wingers too much

This is just a snippet of something I read earlier I can't remember the link but it's on this forum somewhere 'Let's also settle on something that many people tend not to take into account. Full backs should never defend 1v1 against elite wingers. Elite wingers are elite wingers because they can succeed more often than not at beating their man. A full back losing a "1v1" (the very restricted portion of space and time which can be regarded as a 1v1) happens all the time, but with proper cover support and midfielders properly cutting off passing lanes, the winger is generally doomed to give the ball away shortly after. The situation that is very wrong with Ivanovi? right now is that he has to deal with elite wingers on his own and has no support whatsoever around him. He is the last one to blame, for failing to repeatedly accomplish the feat of winning the ball back when backpedalling against a Premier League winger who had space to gather pace to take on him. This probably explains why a two-time Champions League and 8 times League winning manager has maintained his trust in him despite worldwide Twitter backlash'

So true, unless there's some other reason behind why he won't play him. He's let some serious talent go though, mata, De bruyne, he had his reasons but since selling (in my.opinion our best midfielder since frank) mata we've had 1 prem title, and probably be lucky to get champions league this year

Lol yeah I meant 20 I had a stupid moment :p I hope he does though I wouldn't like to see him replaced with remy or Falcao

Maybe last season but alot of teams have improved i hope I'm wrong but I just don't see Costa hitting double figures this season

I hope I don't get hated for this but I really would like to see hazard go over anyone else. We can get top money for him, and although I'm really fond of Costa I still think we are lacking a top class striker too if we had someone like aguero then Costa would be second choice all day.

I don't think we have improved much on last season, we weren't great at all toward the end, I honestly think we will struggle for 4th place, but maybe we'll win the champions league again :p

Can't wait for fallout 4! Was pretty gutted that elder scrolls online was made instead of another big game like skyrim but I guess they had fallout 4 in the making :p so it's gonna be epic! Maybe I'll play some mad max until it's out
