Compared to the rest of the team, Pedro and Alonso are the weak areas. I also think Traore can be world class, something Pedro cant develop into.

Next season he shouod be competing with Pedro for that RW spot. No offence to Pedro but its a clear area of weakness in this formation.

Seems like United are his destination. I really wanted us to sign him too.

Definitely a weak spot in our team at the moment. Nothing wrong with him just not as good as the rest of them. it's pretty clear what positionshould need upgrading. LWB RFW LCB

Reportedly target numero uno in January. Would like him playing in Pedro's position.

Just want to bump this thread. With England's u17 side being considered a special bunch, are there any Chelsea guys in there with some major talent?

Went for Matic today. Offered a bit more in midfield then Kante yesterday. Hazard a very close second. Best Matic game for a very long time for me.

That was completely cancelled out when he gave up last season. The long term affects of last season could potentially be more lasting then the title winning season. He seriously nearly left the club in a Liverpool like state where we are struggling to get back into the top 4. Fortunately Conte has saved his arse. It will take a lot longer then a couple of games for me to forget that. Don't get me wrong, Costa, Fabregas, Matic and Courtois are all equally in my bad books. The rest are either over the hill, average to begin with or actually performed well all things considered. I'm absolutely delighted that Fabregas has been shut out the way he has been. It's all he deserves for last season and also his lack of effort is like a disease in midfield. Matic is in a similar position to Hazard, although he isn't half as talented so his drop in form wasn't as great as Hazards, meaning I don't judge him as harshly. Courtois I could not give a sh*t about. Sell or keep I'm not bothered, he will never live up to Cech in my opinion. Costa is a complete dick for what he did with Mourinho and I stand by that completely. I'm a bit softer on Costa because he has performed magnificently since the turn of the year and was a big part of us getting out of our rut. He has also been our standout player this season too and has been the reason why we are one point off the top far more then Hazard has.

I don't know how anybody could actually like a player who went from player of the season to not scoring in over 30 games with the click of a finger. The fact that for a year he was willingly letting the club fall into the relegation places makes me really not like him. It will take a long time for him to redeem himself in my eyes. That season will be hard to forget.

Great game. Tough results where we could've had 4 goals. Their only chances were headers because of their giants. Great game.

We are really sloppy on the ball today. Need more composure. When we have space we are making the wrong choices.

Still can't stand him. If Real comes in with a load of money I would be very happy to sell. Can't trust him one bit.

Normal service resumes

I say sell him with a buy back clause on it.

Much prefer him centrally. Should get goals into the 20's now.
