That's really a big issue and handicap. Oscar made a big impression, but him and Fabregas have regressed more and more, Matic has other duties, Willian and Hazard aren't natural scorers, Pedro but his shooting nowadays and Kenedy the young man, unbelievable. Without goals it's difficult to claim points, a bit of Ronaldo would be very to nice to have in the house.

After the introduction my second post in here, many more to come, really fed up by the negativity in Talkchelsea, it has become a war which the reasonable people can't win, imo, time to jump ship, have read a lot posts in here and it seems like a very comy place, never mind. I'm getting curious about the possible lineups and tactical approaches. We play at home and it's at least a must-not-lose, what is Jose Mourinho going to do? I think Azpilicueta will return, Courtois, Matic, Willian, Hazard, Pedro have booked their place in the starting lineup, imo. What about Zouma? I think he should be in there, alongside Terry. What about Fabregas, is Mourinho going to make the big change and field Loftus-Cheek instead? But who is going to man up and plays the through balls? Costa could have finished it against Bournemouth. Should we go with Diego Costa, although he doesn't offer the necessary runs within the final third? We need goals, Remy is a better finisher at the moment, imo. Ivanovic was at fault for the goal against Bournemouth, imo, should have made the clearance, but for example he delivered that ball in the box for Hazard. Baba is more attacking, but has his flaws in the defense, what about Kenedy? He really goes for it in the opponent's box. I think we shouldn't forget to pressure Porto and don't let them unfold. Compactness and not giving an easy goal away. I haven't seen them enough to make a valid assessment. How are they really coping with the losses of their fullbacks, Torres, Casemiro, Martinez and so on. .....................Remy................ Hazard.........Willian......Pedro...... ..........Matic...........Loftus-Cheek.... Baba....Zouma...Terry....Azpilicueta ...................Courtois......... More likely we'll see Fabregas, Ivanovic and Costa in it.

Welcome, you're not one from the bottle, buddy.

top notch! Great having you around, mate.

Good evening everyone, i'm from Munich and as a computer engineer working and studying at university. Most of my friends fancy Bayern Munich, but i can't help admitting to myself that Chelsea is my club. Over the years i have watched most of the matches, cheering everyone of them and exchanged opinions on various plattforms, for example talkchelsea, chelseafans.de and so on. I let my profile pic speak for itself, in my point of view Jose Mourinho is still the right man for the job, so i'm looking for some upcoming discussions in the future. Feels great to become a part of this community. Cheers.
