Agreed, would rather at least give a go to one of our young right backs, Look how well liverpool and spurs have done with their lads, Robertson is for me the best RB in the league on current form, Alexander-Arnold looks a real prospect, Trippier is top quality too even though he only really blossomed in the last couple of years. Better off saving that cash and going all out for a few players who will really improve us where we need it most. I'd be looking at Koulibaly, Icardi and a new winger, or two if Hazard does go in the summer.

I find it incredibly disturbing that the daily Mail has posted photos of his house, the names of his wife and children and details of his social media accounts. The investigation is ongoing, it doesnt look good at all but without proof of guilt it feels like he's the victim of a media-driven lynch mob to be honest. I nearly hope he's proven guilty so I can say the w**ker deserves it all, but if he's not then he's just had his life ruined for some sh*tty, but not damning, behaviour at a football game. Strange times these.

If his head drops any further the ballboy will have to pick it up off the ground. My patience with him is pretty much run out, personally, I just don't think he's able for the physicality of this league, has no strength and no fight in him when things aren't going his way

Technically I think he is one of our best players, he just needs to work on his productivity in the final third, which is definitely something he has the ability to add to his game. Defensively he's tenacious, adds great pace to our team and really helps us to retain the ball. If Kante got injured he's our only real option to play that box to box role on the right hand side. I'm just in awe of his silky moves under pressure though, very rarely gives the ball away in midfield and if he does he's on them like a terrier to win it back. Underrated player in my book

There's a substantial difference between freedom of speech and abusing people (racially or not). I for one am perfectly happy to live in a society where people aren't free to verbally abuse others

When he puts in performances like that today, he's right up there with the best in the world, goal saving tackles, press breaking long passes, dominant at set pieces. If only he could do it every time he goes out there. Nonetheless delighted for him and proud of the fight he showed, a good example of what was lacking against Spurs and Wolves

Smash and grab

Could be a good move, don't think he has the ball playing attributes to make it here under Sarri

It's the nature of the modern social media football fan isnt it? I see some braindead circus clowns on here and on twitter claiming Hazard needs to be sold to Madrid ASAP as well. I'm all for dropping underperforming players, and I do think Alonso and Willian haven't been up to their usual standards of late, but I have to agree that the constant broken record criticisms of those two in particular are extremely tiring. And it's funny that it only happens after we underperform as a whole team. Everyone bar RLC and maybe Dave and Rudiger was sh*te last night, can't lay the blame solely on the typical scapegoats

Reckon we'll line up something like this Kepa Dave - Rudiger - Luiz - Emerson Kante - Jorgi - Kovacic Pedro - Giroud - Hazard I reckon Emerson will come in as Alonso was absolute dogsh*t in the last 2 games, and I have no interest in watching Sane, Sterling or Bernardo Silva absolutely slaughter him for pace every time they have the ball

I don't mind us losing this if we show a bit of fight, against Spurs and Wolves we just bent over and let them have us without a word of protest. I'm calling 3-1 to city

Agreed, always looked like a potential top player here with us when he played, and has all the ball skill necessary to succeed under Sarri

I think Ake would work perfectly in our system, and I believe we have a first refusal or buy back option on him don't we? Christiansen seems to be struggling lately for some reason

Jose doing us a favour tonight though, maybe, just maybe, our team will show up against city, and whichever league 1 players who have been masquerading as chelsea players the last few games go back to their respective team

without hazard we are a 6th-7th place team

A completely bollock-less performance by us. I don't blame Sarri here, look at how our players wander around the pitch with no passion, no heart and no real give-a-sh*ttery.

We are incapable of finishing a chance unless it's Hazard or Pedro on the ball, everyone sh*ts their pants in front of goal

Time for Alonso to be dropped as well, I like him but he's playing like absolute sh*t for the last month

We're just playing like dogsh*t, i don't understand it

Christiansen having a mare

Also how many f**king fouls can they commit in this game?

Precisely. A writer for 90min football, also known as a clickbait site. I feel hazard will sign later on in the season, when Madrid get relegated and we have top 4 secured

Gaffers pre match presser

Topical AND hilarious. I enjoyed this comment

I love Alonso, but there'd be no harm in dropping him for Emerson for a couple of games, Emerson was putting in some lethal crosses in the EL when he plays, and he has pace to burn so it's less likely he'll be caught out on the counter
