Ramires is a dreadful passer of the ball.

Chelsea vs Everton (PL) 11/02/2015 KO: 1945 GMT
This one has came up a bit awkwardly for us, no doubt Naismith will score or Lukaku. I'm going to set this one on Fabregas, I think we need him back for this one.

Juan Cuadrado to Chelsea .... Done!
Come on Suarez has plenty of tricks up his sleeve, Messi takes the ball past just about anyone however it's just dribbling, just like Hazard, Suarez could nutmeg a mermaid and his dummies are fantastic. Neymar is far too fancy and he doesn't succeed as much, I once saw a video of him on a football page backheeling the ball into an open net and I was wondering what the hell is so good about that? Why is this even been shared?

Joe Cole came on for Villa unnoticed
To be fair to him he did also come out and say that he had to say those things about Liverpool in his interview, they told him that he is at the best club in the world and he is to say how happy he is at the best club in the world. You know how big those c**ts think about themselves, they do anything to still be relevant. They don't realize they are not the giants they once were.

Where did Lineker pull this banter from? He has been cracking decent jokes for a while now, I'm sure he has a ghost writer. About 2 years ago he was a right bore.

I think Hazard is better than Neymar personally however Neymar is a better goal scorer.

Didier Drogba Returns!
So you're saying that he had absolutely nothing to do with the goal against United? Yet he scored it? Can I just say chaps read my post, I in absolutely no way discredited Drogba, just try and look at what I'm saying, it's a matter of opinion, also Blue Daze you've definitely got the wrong end of the stick, in no way have I meant that, I mean I am one of the ones who is defending Drogba here. As for the legacy part, as I said it's a matter of opinion really, a lot of people probably wont even care about it and that's true, it's probably not even worthy of debating about. However he did leave in the best way a player could, and plenty of people didn't want him to come back for that very reason and I don't think it's baffling, I think it was a magical way to end such a great career. Not saying it is completely tarnished because it's a harsh word to use but you can't exactly say his last kick of the ball won us the champions league now can you.

I can't believe it has been that long since we've won it.

Didier Drogba Returns!
His age is a factor but I still think he gives this squad a lot of positive merits. He played bad the United game, however he still scored our only goal of the game. You can't fault his spirit, you know he will always be up for it. Our strike force has improved massively from last season and that's great to see. But you have to give Drogba credit in the Newcastle game, Costa was also playing then but he wasn't doing anything, he actually had a disappointing game entirely. That's what we need him for, around November and December Drogba has been fantastic when coming off the bench, it's hard for sides to handle him in the last 10 minutes. I think he's useful, whether or not you think he should be here next season I'm not sure but I think he's going to be useful this season. I say keep at it, bring him on later in games however he was poor the Villa game but I think it's obvious why he started I guess.

Didier Drogba Returns!
He was poor against United, his movement was off and we needed pace. The United defence was leaving massive gaps and we couldn't capitalize on it because Drogba wasn't making the movement, how many times did Hazard get in great positions but nothing could be done. I really think if Costa had been able to play that game we would have won it.

Juan Cuadrado to Chelsea .... Done!
Besides Zidane, I haven't seen any player like those two chaps for a while. However I would still say Brazilian Ronaldo was the best player I've ever seen play, Ronaldinho was immense but his prime didn't last as long as many expected.

Thank you so much, I've been waiting on someone to tell me this, I haven't been able to listen out on the team news.

Branislav Ivanovic - Your Views?
He wasn't great under Villas Boas, but he never played under AVB remember, Bosingwa was always ahead of him if not that then Ivan was playing CB. When Di Matteo came in though he definitely wasn't dire, he was quality, in both Barcelona games he was great as was the rest of the team. His best season I think was 2010-2011, Cech won player of the year that year but I think Ivanovic just topped him. Remember how good Luis Nani was then, once he came up to Ivanovic he was never the same, Ivan made him his bitch, Nani completely met his match, couldn't get past him all game at the bridge. He was immense that season, can't remember a thing he did wrong then but a solid defender. However under Jose he changed completely, he is more of an attacker now, something not any of us knew he had in his locker, I can't remember Ivanovic having any skills at all. In fact I remember Ivanovic once trying to do skills, no twice and we lost 2-0 to Swansea, however now it's just a mystery, completely different player. He has made mistakes this season though definitely, he has been the culprit to a lot of goals as that side is our weakest side but what do you expect, of course it's going to be, he goes forward. On the left side we have Azpi who doesn't venture as much. It was like when we had Gallas at left back and Ferreira on the right back in 05. However I think Ivanovic goes even further forward than Paulo did.

Juan Cuadrado to Chelsea .... Done!
Neymar? I would say Suarez myself if I had to compare, I mean I don't think either are in the same style but Suarez has a lot more trickery like Ronaldinho did, a lot more flair. I do think Neymar is quality though, he has been producing a lot on that left side. I'm actually enjoying watching Barcelona this season, there are glimpses of 2010 about them. I think they missed David Villa a lot when he was injured, didn't seem to be the same player but Neymar has come in and he looks like he can put in the same amount of goals and movement Villa did. And well... we all know how quality Suarez is he certainly helps, despite not scoring as many goals as he did for Liverpool he has been looking great for them so far I think.

Branislav Ivanovic - Your Views?
No there has been plenty of people complaining saying where is Ivan? Because on counter attacks he hasn't been there in position like he has been in the past. But that's because he's foreward most of the time now, that's what it means. He has made mistakes yes when in position, but he hasn't been letting the team down massively like some people think he has. The Villa game was definitely one of the worst he's made of the season, he doesn't often fall asleep, one of the worst times he did that was on the Cavani goal 3 years ago in the Champions League away game against Napoli, completely fell asleep on one of the most dangerous strikers in Europe on a set piece. And that was when Ivanovic was known as being a really good defender.

Does this guy look like he has the hunger to make it at chelsea?
Matic's attitude though is just incomparable, he has a fantastic attitude, I believe his own father still criticizes his performances and he always says he has to do better. As for Josh I think he cares more of his personal life than he does football, I'm not entirely sure about it but that's what it looks like to me, not enough hard work is going into his potential and at 17 years old he looked like he was going to be a world beater.

Also when I mean worried I mean for Fabregas not us, I think we should be able to come through with this one regardless. Remy will thrive a lot more though if Fabregas plays.

Oh good just checking and I do agree with what you said on the LVG matter, United are escaping massive criticism, the manager and Di Maria especially. Remember how much Torres got it.

Juan Cuadrado to Chelsea .... Done!
To be fair I think Hazard is better than Robben, although Robben was some player, also had a better eye for goal I thought.

I love how we get, he's going to be like Ronaldinho next season to he's going to be a flop all in one page

People also need to realize that attacking fullbacks always have defensive woes, it's in the game. Even the best of attacking fullbacks aren't great consistent defenders, Zabaleta is known as a very good fullback always praised by pundits yet how many mistakes has he made? quite a lot. Tell me an attacking fullback that doesn't make a good amount of mistakes? Because I've even seen Phillip Lahm criticized in the fullback position for not getting back in time. Lets not also forget Ivanovic is a big bloke, he doesn't have the stamina of the likes of Zabaleta yet he will still put in better performances. I think people can be too critical of him, I will admit though he really lost it on the Villa goal, no excuses on that one.

Willian
I agree with your post, I also like Willian I think he plays an important role in the team and I want him to stay here. All he needs is someone to rotate with I think he has gotten too much game time that has been my issue. Schurrle was a talented player, I don't think he got enough game time and to be honest I don't know what was going on, he was under performing not helping himself yes, but there was times when we needed his mentality on the field. He is a lot more driven than Willian, he is a born matchwinner. We have Cuadrado now so hopefully they will rotate on that right side more. Our argument here might have been about the wrong thing, I am certainly not against Willian playing, I don't think we should sell him at all. However I don't agree with his playing time, not for a player who doesn't get a decent amount of goals and assists, we need more variety and I'll say it again I'm hoping Cuadrado really brings that since it obviously wasn't working with Schurrle and Salah.

Chelsea vs Everton (PL) 11/02/2015 KO: 1945 GMT
If Fabregas isn't back for this one I'm going to be a bit worried, I'm hoping Mourinho didn't play him against Villa just to be on the safe side. Ramires just didn't look cut out for it at all against Villa, it reminded me of last season when we couldn't get the ball going from the middle. Everton aren't as strong as last season but they can cause us problems no matter the circumstance, we really need to be up for this one, 3 points is a must, got to keep the momentum going and keep the pressure on City, take advantage of Yaya and Bony situation because this is the last time they wont be playing with them.

I can probably agree but I would never want them to regain there glory. I loved the fall of United last season, loved it. It took too long for Fergie to retire, those twats always rubbed it in, they were absolutely relentless to John Terry and us Chelsea fans after that night on Moscow. Mister penalty... Of course fans are fans, we absolutely lay into Liverpool with Gerrard but rightly so, the scousers have no one to blame but themselves, they picked on us when we were bought with the no history and plastic flags, they tried to make us out as footballs enemy. And they wonder why we hate them so much.

Pardew got into sh*t about head butting Myler last season because Match of the day didn't let that one off the hook either. To be fair rightly so, it was terrible behavior.
