Hazard STAY

Zouma and Azpi are absolutely killing our defense. How is Zouma still in our starting lineup is shocking really.

Am I being too harsh on Barkley or is he as bad as I have made him to be?

Get Azpi and Barkley off oh my lord

Easy group for us. Not hard at all. Lovely travel for the fans too. I just pissed $100 on a stupid bet before the draw. Feck it.

100% chance we get Real Madrid. I just bet 100 on it.

Kovacic reminds me a bit of Iniesta. He doesnt score and assist much but was integral to the way Barcelona and Spain played. Kovacic will never be as good as Iniesta of course, but he is a player of similar silk.

This is Edens debut for us. Come on, everyone was over the moon.

He looked the worst on the pitch for me. Really bad.

Bore off already.

You stand corrected mate. Move on, no point for the petty replies. The point still stands that we need to invest massively on our defense and on a CF/ST. Lampards Achilles heel is the defense so we have to invest there massively.

Do I have to answer this? Just look at our first 2 prem games.

To cover Frank's Achilles Heel, we need to spend a very large amount of our budget on the defense. Frank will have us scoring and playing destructive football, but he will not be able to setup a great defense. Rudiger will fit very well in Franks defense because he is very quick and has a lot of strength. We will need to pair him with another powerful and speedy defender in the middle though. Our RB has to be upgraded with a pacy and amazing stamina player. Emerson might be able to fit perfectly in this team if he has a strong reliable CB that is pairing with him, that can make up for the bombing forward. Emerson is quick and has great stamina as he proves last night. Then our Achilles Heel as a club, that dreadful ST/CF position. I really do believe that this team would work best with a player Drogba-like. A powerful Target Man who also does have speed (unlike Giroud who sadly he is lacking in speed) and sublime finishing abilities. I have no idea who this player could be, any ideas?

The way he took that penalty reminded me of Frank. Blast it home, no bullsh*t on it. Just a good goal.

7-0 for 'pool

That might be the worst United team in recent memory, but our team is currently top 10 and below level without Kante in the team.

Please do go on with this. You've peaked my curiosity.

We should play Bakayoko instead of Zouma at CB.

Pedro was absolutely piss poor in possession in our half. Gave the ball away repeatedly.

Thats them just giving you some petty support to make you feel better, kind of like the small talk you make the morning after with the lass who made the bad decision to come home with you last night. She feels guilty and sad, you feel happy for the shag, but dont wan't to sound like a gloating a-hole.

I havent seen anyone get deeper in a defenders pocket since Morata.

This is probably the weakest Chelsea team that I can remember (Fan since 1996). We won't be in the CL next year, that much is obvious. We can use this year's CL run as experience for the youngsters, as I HIGHLY DOUBT we will be able to make it next year or the next 3-5 years. My prediction, we will be in 8th position at season's end. We will buy average to good players to rebuild, gone are the days of a dominant Chelsea Team. Hazard I would assume will have been the best player to play for us for a very long time. Do not get depressed by this though fellow blues, for we love Chelsea regardless ?

No chance we win this game, but I would like to see an exciting game. Prediction: 2-1 Loss.

Move this thread please from General Chelsea FC.

Spit my coffee on my missus arse laughing at this.
