What we would give for a striker who can hold and link the play and score goals in the prem, oh yeah we have one he is called Romelu lukaku and he is on loan at bloody Everton.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Dont be so naive.
He wouldn't have played that many games as we have 3 other strikers.
He will get more game time and learn under a manager who plays a passing style of football.

Agree0 Disagree0

You have completely missed the point! He should be playing for us more regularly than our current 3 because he is the only one who looks like scoring goals and the only one who is physically strong enough to hold up play and link up with our attacking midfielders, these are not strengths of Torres or Eto'o.
If you watched his brief performance for Everton yesterday you would have seen him winnnig challenges and playing passes in front of on running midfielders so everton could attack at pace, exactly what we need and a physical presence in the box.

Agree0 Disagree0

He would play 1 in 3 matches that is the reality for us. Whether you agree with that being fair or not is irrelevant. He will get more game time at Everton which means he will develop more.

I trust the Manager and coaching team and the player making this decision to go out on loan.

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeah like Eto just started back to back matches for us. Even if Jose only offered Lukaku Epl matches once a week to establish his for I think Lukaku would have snapped his hand off and stayed. And by the way, if that was Jose's plan Lukaku wouldn't be competing with 3 strikers because we either would not have signed Eto or we would have and sold/loaned Ba. I don't disagree that Lukaku is better off where he is now based on decisions made but having a different opinion doesn't automatically mean not supporting. I hate seeing fellow fans getting bullied with rubbish reasonings based on no facts.

Agree0 Disagree0

Whos getting bullied?

Agree0 Disagree0

Well I felt that, in an opinion filled 'banter page', saying someone's opinion is irrelevant while also sharing your own was a bit strong, that's all.

Agree0 Disagree0

PB1989, I agree with you, under Mourinho this season he would only have played every 3rd or 4th game if he was lucky and he will get more playing time at Everton which is crucial for his development.
What I am saying is that in my opinion, he should be playing regularly for us because at the moment he is the best and most effective striker we have. Based on his record last season and his style of play. We need someone who can be a physical presence up front and hold the ball up whilst bringing our other attackers in to play higher up the field, instead of seeing Hazard and Oscar back in their own half picking up the ball from the full backs then trying to beat 2 lines of four.

Agree0 Disagree0

I totally agree and I agree he would be my 1st choice. But were paying Torres £170k a week and have Ba who wouldn't have played, would have be unmanageable.

From a player development POV this is the best move for the player and club.

hey guys, did I just saw Mikel Obi scoring in blue shirt - Jungle bar, here I come for the celebration of Mikel's goal!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Good win, that was needed. Congrats to Mikel for his first goal for Cfc in a long, long, time. Also Lukaku got a goal today.

80% of our possession has been with the back 4 and CM in the middle of the pitch. It is pointless playing skillful technical players if the CB and CM aren't giving them the ball in the final 3rd.

We also keep putting it out wide but then crossing it. Hazard, Oscar, Eto are all 5ft tall, we need to work it out wide, then work it in the middle and look for that cutting ball.

Willian on for Schurrle, KDB on for Ramires CM.

Lets get the ball moving quicker and to the feet of our players in the final 3rd.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I agree need to have some players out wide all good interchanging position but at times all three are in the middle with eto we are tackling ourselves
Hopefully better second half

Agree0 Disagree0

I think with a good passing CM either Oscar or KDB and then Mata in front we would play a lot better due to getting the ball into our dangerous players feet higher up the pitch. Mikel and Ramires don't pass forward enough or with enough accuracy.

I really think Javier Hernandez would be perfect for us up front. His movement an poaching skills for this team would be ideal. Could rotate with Lukaku for different options.

Agree0 Disagree0

Play Oscar deep, we saw him today last 30 minutes drop deep, he intercepted, passed and moved quick. So much talent in our squad no wonder Jose ain't sure of his strongest line up yet. Good to see the fall backs actually do some attacking. Still think azpi offers so much more going forward. But Ivan is solid.

Agree0 Disagree0

Why the F is mata not playing and why is schurrle getting picked over him, he's really nothing special for me, a team player at best!

No Mata :( I think its sad Mourinho is treating him like this. that's how proud he is. Hope the special Juan goes to a good club and excels cause he isn't just a great player but a great person aswell. Awful feeling, just awful.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Absolutely agree. Very disappointed. For me Mata is going to bring the sad end of Jose's second spell at Chelsea.

Agree0 Disagree0

If jose turns out be correct and we start playing well without mata, then his departure in jan would not be so bad. If we continue to play badly between now and jan, without mata then Jose will probably have gone by then, and any new manager would probably select him.

Agree0 Disagree0

Mata by far our most incisive passer of ball in last third; I cannot understand why we are not playing him or who short of fantastic striker would be worth part exchanging him for. And not to use him while he is still with us is mad, unless he is still carrying an injury. Our play seems pretty disjointed this far this season save first half v Hull.

Agree0 Disagree0

Jose has been wrong all season. And he's wrong about mata.

Agree0 Disagree0

Boring, boring and boring.
