Kenedy and RLC were fantastic but Mikel and Ramy gave us a solid platform to perform. A lot of numbnuts talk about those two players with nothing but disrespect but they are Chelsea through and through. Good support on a cold night.

23 Sep 2015 22:14:01
Well said. Mikel gets treated like a rival player!

It's disgusting!

23 Sep 2015 22:29:25
I am Chelsea through and through but it doesn't make me a good player. Mikel should have left years ago he is simply not good enough.

23 Sep 2015 22:46:05
yeah mikel has been spectating in our team for too long and getting good money for doing a mediocre job. so of course he wouldn't want to leave if he's getting all those medals without contributing much to the success while chilling out most of the time and earning good money. why on earth would he leave? I really don't see how some fans can praise him for being 'loyal'. that's rubbish.

23 Sep 2015 23:35:27
The assist of RLC is really amazing - full or surprise and precisely. We not usually see something like that except from Barcelona player.

24 Sep 2015 00:27:00
Fahim, he played for the team when his father had been kidnapped. He played through that, and you claim he's not loyal and only does it for money and medals.

What a joke.

24 Sep 2015 00:30:16
Mikel is an absolute master at what he does, the club also think he's somewhat good at what he does, and not 'useless' like the posters on here seem to think. Favourite chelsea player for me

24 Sep 2015 10:27:27
Mikel favourite Chelsea player? That's a new one. I've never seen a person with mikel on the back of a shirt and I've even seen a Chelsea shirt with Robinho on the back!

Most under appreciated player there is rvd!

24 Sep 2015 18:27:11
I wouldn't say under-appreciated. more like marmite. He divides opinion, end of.

23 Sep 2015 20:48:48
ivanovic has seriously gone pants now. what the hell happened to him? can't even have a good game againts a lower ranked team. he better not start against newcastle away otherwise we're effed!

23 Sep 2015 21:33:36
Waste of time saying that although I agree. Mourinho loves him and he won't be dropped.

23 Sep 2015 21:43:55
Have you even watched the game? He was solid enough.

23 Sep 2015 22:30:31
of course I watched the game. ivanovic was once again very poor especially in the first half. it was his silly foul towards the end of the first half that gave away the free kick in which they scored from. second half he was just standard and that was mainly due to walsall pretty mucg giving up.

overall, I just don't want him playing against newcastle away they're going to attack the she*p out of our right flank and expose him and I only say this based on all of his matches this season. the guy is simply out of form. and he still is.

24 Sep 2015 04:19:15
You're right Fahim, he was our worst player and was beaten on at least 3 occasions but that's not the full story it's the fact that the other parts of his game are not good, he turns the ball over, not a good passer and can't cross to save his life. Besides his physicality on set pieces, I struggle to see what he offers in his current form. Baba for example wasn't that great defensively in that match but you could see perhaps his best quality in that he should have had 3 assists as he created 3 of the best chances from our left side since Hazard was at his best last season. Falcao wasted 2 of them, he should have easily scored 5 goals.

24 Sep 2015 12:03:22
It's simple . Iva needs to be dropped and give Baba Rahman a chance. I see Iva leaving at the end of the season.

Don't get me wrong Iva has been an absolute legend with some very important goals but there does comes a time when u need to let the future a chance.

23 Sep 2015 20:14:06
What's everyone's thoughts on Gary Cahill! Is he good enough to to play week in week out at Chelsea! I have mixed feeling about him myself some times he's great sometimes not. Is there better options out there? Never to much said about him on hear so interesting to get some opinions

23 Sep 2015 21:33:01
I agree there's question marks about him, but he's been really good this season so him and Zouma should stay CB for me.

23 Sep 2015 21:34:22
There are certainly better options, but I feel that Zouma-Cahill is currently our best centre back pairing.

23 Sep 2015 22:13:36
I personally think he looks especially shaky this season.

24 Sep 2015 00:27:22
I think you nailed it when saying are there better options. The answer is yes there are better options but these options weren't available for acquisition. As things stand he's a very solid #3 at worst who is very committed to the club and isn't going to throw his toys out the prem if he doesn't start every game.

24 Sep 2015 10:30:10
He's one of the best people in the world to just throw his body in the way of the ball to block it along with Terry. He's dedicated and experienced. He sometimes switches off be I think Zouma and Cahill is the way to go. Both have significantly more pace than Terry too

23 Sep 2015 08:01:47
Gent's,

Hope I didn't offend anybody yesterday.

That was never my intention, was just putting over my slightly biased opinion on the whole Costa/Gabriel incident.

However, in the spirit of goodwill, we are more than happy to lend you Yaya Sanogo for the next 3 games.

Let me know, lol.

23 Sep 2015 11:29:54
If we wanted a striker that couldn't score to save his life then we'd have just kept Torres. At least he was a pretty boy ;-)

23 Sep 2015 11:32:07
So you going to lend us the only striker you have got? :D

23 Sep 2015 13:09:55
Giroud? 😊

23 Sep 2015 13:31:22
Dagenham he said "striker", not model. Plus, all is fair in love and banter, good to have other fans opinion on here, that's what it's all about.

Ps. Five games now in the league and you goons haven't scored a goal against us.

23 Sep 2015 16:24:00
ELI,

Was enjoying your post until I read the last bit :-)

Have to admit, Mourinho does have the hex over Wenger.

I can't banter myself out of that one, lol

23 Sep 2015 16:55:16
You can't deny the facts. But don't feel too blue, Dags, I'm jealous of you for having the Ox. I like him a whole lot.

23 Sep 2015 17:49:25
Jackson,

I believe Jose is a massive fan too.

More than happy to straight swap him with Mr Hazard.

Let me know, lol.

23 Sep 2015 20:18:20
Yes dags I meant a striker, even torres was more productive at his first games than giroud this season

23 Sep 2015 20:37:03
Once we buy back Thorgan, I'll be sure to get back to you to sort out all the details ;-)

23 Sep 2015 21:28:52
Dagenham as you are missing a good DM player we can seap ox for Mikel all day long

23 Sep 2015 23:41:38
Jackson, you are talking Pollock's, lol.

LRD, nah mate, you can keep Mikel.
Throw Matic at me and we can maybe do some business my friend.

22 Sep 2015 23:25:03
Ed,

Seriously, are you editing my posts so that only the 'nasty' bits are posted?

{Ed002's Note - I am not.}

23 Sep 2015 00:05:18
Probably cropping out your jokes

23 Sep 2015 02:00:04
Lol we love you really dags

23 Sep 2015 07:55:01
OK, Ed.

It's just that I sent a post to Sid and also a very long post to Jackson, replying to a question he asked me about Gabriel and Matic and it wasn't posted.

My apologies Ed.

Lrd, leave my jokes alone :-)

Thank you Hazard :-)
