Amazing second half. 3-4-2-1 very brave. Obviously we can play very offensive as well. Hazard, Matic, Cesc unbelievable. Salah, Dave excellent Ake also as well as forgotten Moses. Well done lads.

What a goal by Fabregas. If he keeps this up he's going to be a massive asset. We were so much more creative with him on as well.

Probably contraversial but I would sell: Torres, mikel, William, ramires, oscar and cech. I would replace with reus, isco, pogba and varane. if possible cavani as well. Would sort out our overseas number problem as well as improving the team massively. Never going to happen but would probably cost under £100m to do! Please let me know your thoughts.

Not sure I'd let Willian and Oscar go, particularly Oscar, he's only 22 and was a key player at 21 last year, clearly has potential. It sounds amazing though, but seems a tad fantasy football to me. Kinda feel like we should appreciate what we already have rather than constantly changing as well, some loyalty to our players could lead to the stability we need to develop younger players.

Agree0 Disagree0

Keep will.i.am and oscar no need to keep buying and buying we still got young players like ake, van ginkel and baker coming in the middle but yeah, buying one more striker to replace torres would do.

Agree0 Disagree0

Torres, mikel and Moses need to go and be replaced ASAP. I'll admit Oscar and Willian frustrate me! Ramires in 3 man midfield is a god. It's a shame 2 man doesn't suit him. But we will be playing a lot of 433 this season so letting rami go is a no go for me. As for Willian I would sell him. Sign marco reus. Oscar although seems of the boil at the moment he does have that class. But he is forever giving away the ball and slowing our play down far to much. Which is why I've always said piazon will be better.

Agree0 Disagree0

Mikel has looked fairly solid this pre season he always does a job for us it's just he never excites anyone

Agree0 Disagree0

And when do you ever see mikel sprint and bust a gut to cover an out of position defender? Never.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think Mikel, like Ramires, suits a midfield 3 better. Whilst he wouldn't be my first choice, I think he's a pretty decent as a anchor man and back-up to Matic. Whilst many of us would like to see him move on his wages are a sticking point.

Agree0 Disagree0

He's job is to cover the back 4. matic is comfortable going forward, he's job isn't to bust a gut anywhere he just sits & protects

Agree0 Disagree0

Not at all. Tracking back he's lazy. Watch highlights of any game you watch him.

Agree0 Disagree0

Well our manager seems to like him so maybe you should tell Jose that too

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Aug 2014 15:34:07
Never liked or rated mikel in my eyes every time he comes as a sub it makes us weaker

Agree0 Disagree0

Mikel had been played regularly by all our coaches since Jose's first spell. He must be doing something right to be picked by managers such as Ancelotti and Hiddink. I think he's god enough back up and he's happy to sit on the bench which is useful in a squad player.

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Aug 2014 19:16:43
No he hasn't at all. Ancelotti and hiddink hardly played him. Scolari never really played him. Di matteo did in champs league because we did park the bus. Mourinho hardly played him last season. So don't make bs excuses.

Agree0 Disagree0

The lowest amount of performances he's played in a season since he joined is 35, not exactly a small amoun. I'm not making excuses as I'd prefer a better player to take his position but finding a player better than him who is happy to sit on the bench will be difficult and for that reason I'd not be too annoyed if he stayed.

Question for Ed's
I've heard that fabregas is classed as HG because he came up through arsenals youth, been here since 15yr old but the English lad u21 international Eric dier who spurs purchased from sporting Lisbon isn't classed as HG as he came through youth set up in Portugal?
If this is true then. well, shocked.

I'm genuinely getting worried about out defence and when costa doesn't play I worry were goals will come from,,

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Hopefully it's just rustiness but it is worrying this close to the start of the season. The ball for that goal was phenomenal though.

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Aug 2014 20:32:43
It's the inability to create chances against poor teams that worries me. The team playing tonight should create chances with ease yet we struggle. Way too narrow and such a slow tempo. In the penultimate pre season match I expect a little better than this.

Agree0 Disagree0

Torres has just lost all capabilities! He's first touch is woeful, he's shooting is awful & every time he try's to take somebody on he gives the ball away, not entirely sure what mourinho can see in him apart from work rate but work rate doesn't bring you 20-30 goals a season I'm afraid

Agree0 Disagree0

We've clearly been on top but you're right that there's not been enough chances made. Torres must be decent in training, just doesn't do enough in games. He'll do the occasional decent thing then mess up a simple dribble, so frustrating.

Agree0 Disagree0

He's work rate is very good I'll give him that but if he could just score or create more chances on a consistent basis which we need then i'd be more than happy! Another striker needed

Agree0 Disagree0

11 Aug 2014 15:37:17
Torres is not good enough to be our 2jd striker in my opinion but I guess we need to see what actual problem is with drogba and how long is he going to be ruled out before signing anyone. I don't think we need a superstar name as we won't play 2 up top. that's said I would really like bony or even chicarito

Agree0 Disagree0

Seeing we are now linked with Cuadrado. Apparently we're going to use Marin as bait. This would be a good move if we can secure a loan for Salah to a EPL team.Also it would be mega in a 4 3 3 formation. With a pot of players including Hazard, Cuadrado, Schurrle, Willian, Costa, Drogba and Torres to pick from, for a front 3. And Matic, MVG, Mikle, Cesc, Rami and Oscar to pick for our centre 3. May as well give use the trophy now.

I am still far from convinced about our striking options if something was to happen to Costa. We need to bring in another striker, ship Torres on loan somewhere.

Agree0 Disagree0

Chelsea won't buy any players before solving the problem of the limitation in the number of foreign players above 21. Tbh, I still hoping for a big sign in last minutes. But its seem like a fancy with the way Chelsea get into the transfer market now. In the last 2 markets, we tried to balance the selling - buying. Just like they try to survive without over-draft. When did our Chelsea become like that again? I want to go back to glory days with lots of signing, lots of rumours. Big spending like Barca, Real or PSG. However, I still love and support them even its all for our summer transfer.

I know its not such a big deal but is anyone else a little upset that Lamps is going to play for city? As I said not that big a deal but seeing him play for another team in england and maybe even celebrating in their jersey might sting a little. No?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Not really, he is a Chelsea legend and for some reason will not seem as bad playing in a city shirt at the end of his career, than it would if playing for utd or arsenal. Think it hurts more to see Mata in the prime of his career, in a utd shirt.

Agree0 Disagree0

Agree with Sid. Strange to see lamps in city colours but I'm not bothered by it, . Mata still doesn't feel right. Bloke is pure class, and with matic and cesc he would of shown that,, never mind

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Aug 2014 15:59:12
He was offered a one year extension. Yet he turned it down because less money was offered. So even though an obvious legend, u can tell what's on his mind more than staying at our club.

So we are sending Christian Atsu on loan to Everton. Am I the only one who sees the trouble brewing with lukaku on the same team? Sharing his views of mourinho and chelsea all season. Hopefully all goes well.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Martinez is a good manager and will help improve Atsu. We just need to watch that Martinez doesn't hypnotize him into wanting to play for Everton at the end on the loan period.

As long as he gets a good amount of minutes I'm fine with it.
