I hope in the summer transfer window we don't sit still, look how much we improved with Costa and fabreagas!,
We basically jumped from 3rd to 1st that's how important it will be.
I think city will strengthen with a couple of world class players, Man U will prob spend £100 million and click a tad better, and the rest will spend, my point is if our rivals bring in a couple of world class players and we just stagnate then we could go from first to 3rd again it's very important we don't mess it up, and we need to go to the next level in the champions lge .
I honestly think we need 3 new players to get in amongst barca, Munich, Madrid .
That would be a new left back if a right backs playing left back that says we need a new 1, daves a great rb but offers little balance attacking .
Second we need a new cb, what do we do wait for Terry's form to dip then replace?, or sign first and overlap? .
And a new number 10 playmaker oscar doesn't score enough or create enough or hold possession and for a while now I've noticed his touch isn't world class the ball seems to bounce of him when fizzed in to him, and he hits it to far in front of him when breaking at pace not good enough,
3 really good signings and we could be best in Europe or not far off!

MAN UTD already spent 200 million this season doesn't look that they have became better.

Well they are in top four last year they ended up eight. This season MU started terrible but look at them now.
Next season they will be our serious competition.

Look at them now? Apart spurs game have you seen them play good? They are terrible just getting the results

Hazard central for the next game!

Willian on the left, Caud on the right!

Who agrees?

Worth a try. Can't see it happening, though. Cuadrado hasn't looked that good so far, but it must be difficult trying to fit in to a team when you're only getting a few minutes here and there.

17 Mar 2015 10:35:58
Yeah i'd be willing to test Caud and give him 65 minutes.

Or alternatively, play Remy out on the right.

Hazard in the centre is awesome :)
Maybe start him out wide on the left but as the game progresses he can move more central and make things happen there.

The problem with moving hazard centrally is the lack of threat from the wings. As neither of our so called wingers are good enough at the moment

I agree with you LRDlt, also you lads are banging on about different lineups in attacking mid when the truth is that the season has revealed only 3 absolutely necessary adjustments. 1, Zouma needs to replace Cahill. 2, Remy should be the first striker off the bench and 3, Jose needs to come up with a plan B when counter attacking isn't scoring goals and when teams sit back. Perhaps try 5 in midfield and go for ball control or with our same formation force more attacking players into the box closer to the goal. We also need more shot attempts, we're wasteful of opportunities often waiting to dribble past the keeper.

Mourinho is playing 451(4231)where CMs are far away from 3 AMs. Our tactics are completely read by other teams.They make high pressure on Fabregas and Matic since these two players were main playmakers. High worked very well against us and Mourinho is so stubborn playing same formation and tactics this is the main reason why Chelsea doesn't play like in the beginning of the season.
I am afraid that selling Schurrle and buying Cuadrado was very bad move.
Oscar looks lost it seems he might be next player to be sold.

How you all dislike cuardaro so much?, he barely played and not everyone can have a quick impact.Come down of lads back and let rate him at the start of next season

18 Mar 2015 07:07:59
Well said LRDit

18 Mar 2015 10:52:14
To add to the same we can say that our youngsters are crap as they do not play either
