Oscar made more tackles (4) than any player Chelsea player v Swansea on Saturday.

Defensive midfielder Oriel Roemu made none in his 45 minutes.

Gary Cahill has the best pass completion rate (92%) of any Chelsea player in the PL this season.

some interesting stats from the swansea game

!

Believable3 Unbelievable1

That is why i think Oscar is better than Hazard. if Oscar didnt defend like Hazard imagine how much he could do offensive ,just like when he plays with Brazil he always scores lot of goals for them he isent really defending the same way as in Chelsea.

Agree2 Disagree0

Hazard and Oscar offer different things. Both are exceptional talents and we are lucky to have them.

Can someone explain why Man C have 3 stars above the badge. I know why Ajax do, they won the original Champions League known the as the European Cup 3 times(infact 3 consecutive titles 71-73) . As I understand it, by winning the European Cup or the modern Champions League, Then the winning team can have a star above the clubs crest. A bit like the international teams have stars for winning the European Championship or World Cup, So why do Man C have 3 stars when their only European honour ie the poncy European Cup Winners' Cup in 1970. It's nearly as the embarrassment the old rangers club from Glasgow went into Euro games displaying their 5 domestic stars, a shameless cringe-worthy display, acting like they had a winning history in big euro competitions (then it became known all across the world that they where actually nobodies in the big club competitions & they STILL displayed them), winning only the poncy European Cup Winners' Cup in 1972. Their rivals Celtic is the more truthful & class act, not bothering with adorning their crest with domestic honours (& they are plentiful), only the one star for winning the European cup in 1967 the first British team to do so.

Believable1 Unbelievable3

Each star represent one year in terms of the number of years they have actually been a moderate for football.

Any chance of Balotelli at the bridge? {Ed002's Note - Away games?}

Believable0 Unbelievable4

Nice one ed lol

Wheelycfc

Agree6 Disagree0

I don't get what all the fuss is about with balotelli. I think he's a very average striker.

Agree5 Disagree2

Usually he is but can have games when he is unplayable

Agree3 Disagree0

07 Nov 2012 10:53:17
so you would spend 40mill on him for an occasional unplayable game?

curt

Insert 'Torres £50m comment'.

Hopefully a realistic team for summer, even thou I'm more than happy with heal this year and football were playing

Cech
Azpilcueta ivanovic Cahill cole

M'villa. Ramires
Mata. Oscar. Hazard
Falcao
The CB could be anything with ivanovic terry Luiz Cahill, think it'll be cech last yr then courtios, and think a DM will come In,
Mattm

Believable3 Unbelievable1

M'Vila and Falcao would be excellent additions. I would also look at trying to get another versatile attacking 3 player such as Hatem Ben Arfa.

PB

Agree2 Disagree7

Why? we have moses, marin, piazon, de bruyne

Jordan

Agree6 Disagree2

De bruyne as well and lukaku, if we lose Torres and Sturridge the falcao and another striker, a young cheap prospect hopefully
Mattm

Agree1 Disagree1

I'd rather see Isco here than Ben Arfa, but i doubt it is ever gonna happend either of em for now.

This season Chelsea has been doing well but we still have a few problems.

Hazard, Mata and Oscar all play well together but when their trio is missing one person it doesn't have much fluidity. Playing Moses or Piazon with Oscar and Mata or Hazard and Mata will only work when everyone is moving around, Moses and Piazon stay on either on the left or the right side which doesn't allow Oscar, Mata or Hazard to find space. If Moses and Piazon are to become regular starters they need to learn how to drift around in that front 3. When De Bruyne comes back from loan that front three will be better because they won't have to play every match, DB will be able to slot in when one of them is injured or getting a rest.

On our two holding midfielders:

Romeu is great, but playing him and Mikel at the same time slows down our style of play because their partnership is too ridged. Rami has to play with either one of them (Mikel and Romeu) to speed up that midfield, when Josh comes back he will probably slot into that role when Rami can't.

On Oscar:
Great start to the season, his a light weight but he has so much composure and talent that it doesn't affect him much. Oscar might be the missing link in chelsea, he does what Mata and Hazard don't regularly do which is tackle, its great to see that from a forward player. Last week in the Capital one cup when he was put into defensive midfield our team just seemed to gel more, our transition from defence to attack was faster and looked more fluid.

On January Transfers:
I think we should offer 35m + Malouda for Falcao.

Cole should be offered a new 2 year contract.

Believable2 Unbelievable6

35m and Malouda for Falcao is not going to happen.

IB.

Agree6 Disagree1

I doubt Piazon will feature much except in the league and FA cup. Marin is more likely to play when he reaches a good level of fitness. KDB will most likely feature in a more central role alongside Ramires. And Josh will be a squad player at best.
And 35m + Malouda for Falcao is ridiculous. Never going to happen.

Agree6 Disagree0

Josh will be a squad player at worst i think oyu meant

Hey ed,
Falcao Remy Schurrle are the strikers we are basically interested in but if we sign any of them in the Jan transfer window, would they be allowed to play in UCL?

Is there any interest in Leandro Damiao? or Llorente??

Thanks

Blue Warrior {Ed002's Note - There are rules that allow one player to play in the CL but it depends on if his previous club are still in the competition.}

Hello Ed,

Ant idean why MARKO MARIN is not in the mix ... i heard that he was our bes player during the preseason. how does RDM rate him ... i know he was injured but now that he is fit and been training 2 weeks any reason why he is not playing in any of our games ... i would sure like to see what he brings to the table

Derel {Ed002's Note - He has been injured and is not ready to start yet.}

Believable4 Unbelievable0

Marin is not better than any of the 3 upfront, and he has been injured and he needs time to get some better fitness relax about the questions he wil play when RDM sees him fit.
