Hazard in my opinion, in the worlds top 3 this season, his control is amazing and his passes are superb, he is so spectacular to watch, more awaits next season!
With a better squad and players around him next year, a years experience in this league, team and culture and more rest in between matches he should be even better :)
25 Apr 2013 22:23:43
All Chelsea fans am sorry but hazard is just to good for us look may get some stick but always been a Chelsea fan but no he's better than anything this season and we keep taking him off, what the hell we playing at
It's called squad rotation mate, you can't play them in every game like in FIFA.
I rotate my squad in FIFA. If it's good enough for Rafa.
Never read so much rubbish in my life in what the oringnal poster put

One off the worst penalty decision I've seen
Terrible decision. Although them scoring did make us pick up our game.
They didn't have much about them so confident about the 2nd leg.
25 Apr 2013 21:51:38
Another riduculous penalty against us. Who was the referee tonight and is he doing the second leg? Ridiculous to see foreign referees giving penalties for a defender standing and having a CF crash into them.
Should have taken the early chances though.

We played much better after conceding, got out of first gear! let's wrap this up at the bridge and celebrate the top 4 with another trophy. Who knows, we may even get to play Bayern in the Supercup and we know we all love Bayern here ;)

P. S. David Luiz should no longer be classed as a defender. Sod signing fellaini or someone like that, buy a quality CB or promote a youngster and use him in the midfield.
25 Apr 2013 21:27:57
Ramires crossing is terrible but he does work harder than anyone else, shoulda wrapped this up first half
Probably why he's a centre mid not a winger.
Last ought he was a winger thou, but thanks anyway

1st half and good display. Hazard should of scored but Torres looking good and causing a few problems, Moses looking great, always running at the defence which is good to see, good 20 min and think to rest few players just need another goal
Moses looking great, why? Just because he runs aimlessly with no end product? Terrible passing terrible crossing and terrible understanding with the rest of the team. He may score the odd goal but the rest of his game is bad.
Moses has been more dangerous and productive than Oscar this season.
Probably because Oscar ain't a winger and run at people. Moses is overated not good enough for us.

Would chelsea be Interested in the current bayern munich manager? {Ed018's Note - I believe retirement is awaiting him}

Matty

JMJW
What about his substitutions haha
25 Apr 2013 19:48:56
Very nice team selection tonight. Hopefully he has got it right.
25 Apr 2013 19:41:59
1) Varane
2) Gundogan/
3) Reus
4) Aubameyang
5)Falcao
25 Apr 2013 19:35:57
Has Marin still got an injury as I'd heard he had a hip problem last week or so?
25 Apr 2013 19:20:31
Ed do you think we will sign Reus, Neymar, Isco or Falcao this summer? {Ed002's Note - Try the search function.}
25 Apr 2013 17:57:50
Just a little bit of fun for fellow chelsea fans, but if you had to pick one out the the 4 sections who would you pick?
1) Dede/ Garay/ N'koulou/ Varane
2) Gundogan/ Benat/ Fellaini/ Wanyama
3) Reus/ Isco/
4) Aubameyang/ Son Heung-min/ Rodrigo
5)Falcao/Cavani
1. Varane
2. Gundogan
3. Isco
4. Aubameyang
5. Falcao
1. Varane has the most upside out of all those defenders in my opinion and is currently playing at the highest level.
2. Gundogan is the player we are missing linking the midfield to the attacking trio. Game after game we see Mata come to the half way line picking the ball up because we don't have a CM who is a great forward passer.
3. Isco in my opinion is a better technical player and is more versatile.
4. Aubameyang is 22, 6ft 2 and very very quick, good finisher and has technical ability, plus he offers something different to Lukaku.
5. Falcao I feel would suit our system better as he is the poacher who stays around the edge of the box and who makes fantastic runs which our attacking 3 could pick out. His finishing is arguably the best in the world.
Probably £200m worth of talent there ha

25 Apr 2013 16:40:15
Ed I know u do not like talking money but of suitable would we be willing to spend in excess of 100m {Ed002's Note - I really have no interest in diuscussing money - it causes confusion, particularly when no currency is quoted.}
Completely understand. Cheers anyway ed

I'd like to see Lampard start tonight and rest Mata.
One Bomb Tom
Lampard - 201
25 Apr 2013 13:15:52

Hi ed sorry not so sure on his contract will he be with Chelsea or is his contract ready for renewal {Ed002's Note - It won't be due for renewal until next year.}
Thanks ed hope we manage to keep him

I know none of you likes Rafa but he might have unwittingly brought you the solution to your ongoing management saga - rotation! A team consists of 18-20 players who rotate so why not managers? You could have 3 or 4 to manage simultaneously. The advantages are numerous - you would no longer have to wait for the final whistle of a game to change managers. Tsar Roman could just stand up in his box during the game and hold up a number signifying who is to take over - ok I know that bit is silly - he'd get one of his minnions to stand up for him! It would also save him having to re-employ someone he'd previously sacked. You could have a home manager, an away manger, a defensive manager, an attacking manager and, of course, being Chelsea one for the crowd to abuse.
But it's not only Chelsea who could benefit from this. The Mancs could appoint someone to stand on the touchline at Old Trafford for the regulation 90 minutes while Ferguson rests in his bathchair then he could come on for the final 7 or 8 minutes to abuse the officials and take the acclaim of ther crowd. Arsenal could have a second manager who has a white stick and a labrador to stop post match interviewers having to ask in vain if the manager saw a controversial incident.
Then there's Liverpool. Rogers could stay to manage most of the team and they'd appoint a barrister for Suarez.
So what do you think? Brilliant eh?
25 Apr 2013 11:45:07
Chelsea team 13/14
Falcao
Hazard. Mata. Oscar
Gundogan. Ramires
Cole. Luiz. Varane. Cesar
Cech
Signings:
In: Falcao
Isco/ Reus / El shaarawy
Gundogan
Varane. Or. Dede/ N'koulou/Garay
- A young British keeper -
Markovic
Aubameyang/ Rodrigo
Chalobah (back from loan)
Piazon (back from loan)
Mceachran (back from loan)
Outs : Torres
Lamps
Mikel
Kakuta
Davila
Essien
Ferreira
Hilario
Turnbull
Marin
Benayoun
Lukaku (loan)
De bruyne (loan)
Courtois (loan)
Kane (loan)
Ake (loan)
Squad:
Cech, Blackman, new keeper*
Cesar, Ivanovic, Terry, Luiz, Cahill, new CB*, Cole, Wallace, Christiansen, Bertrand
Ramires, Gundogan*, Chalobah, Oscar, Loftus- cheek, Baker, McEachran, Luiz?
Mata, Hazard, new winger* Piazon, Boga, Moses, Markovic
Falcao, Ba, new back-up striker*, Feruz
Extremely young squad but just imagine how good they will be after 2-3 years!
1. We have Ake, Chalobah, Omeru, Kalas who need to be assesed in the summer who can all play at CB so buying a new CB may not be a top priority.
2. We really do need a deep lying play maker Gundogan or Alcantara would be my choices for obvious reasons. Romeu, Luiz, Mikel, Chalobah and Ake can all play in a CDM role in the pivot so buying an enforcer wouldn't be my greatest concern. We also have KDB who is very versatile.
3. Need a real out and out winger, Deulofue or Schurrle seem possible options along with Markovic, we also have Kakuta who will be back next year and Piazon who need assessing.
4. We do need a new striker, with Torres and maybe even Ba being moved on this summer either Falcao or Cavani would be everyones 1st choice probably. I really like the look of Aubameyang, he will be available this summer.
The club needs to get the management sorted out as soon as possible. We have a lot of players who are coming back off loan, these players need assessing and either sold or put on more developmental loans.
Once this is done then we need to look at buying some young world class talent. If we don't get Champions League then maybe we don't get Falcao or Cavani but players like Alcantara, Aubameyang, Markovic and even Gundogan wouldn't be out of the the question.
Just like my fifa13 team.
Goal keepers are fine, I would like courtios to challenge Cech next season.
Defence I think we need a new centre back luiz should be in midfield, challabah Is better in midfield. Mikel needs to go, with lampard. Oscar need to play here aswell, bring back mceachran needs to be gelled into this team his passing is what we need from deep, romeu and Ramires in, ay need a new defensively but I honestly believe we have that in romeu and luiz.
Attackers mata, hazard without a doubt, Marin hasn't had a chance so maybe it's his time to leave already, Moses I ain't a fan, but he'll be here. We should go for isco and bring back de bruyne.
Strikers lukaku back on loan, falcao signed with bad and Torres.
So you say Marin hasn't had a chance and yet want him to leave. I hope we don't buy Falcao and sell him before pre-season is over.
Marin has had plenty of chances and have been atrocious whenever he is on the pitch!

Hi Ed - reckon there's much in the reports this morning regarding Mourinho and Falcao? {Ed002's Note - I have no idea what these reports are.}
25 Apr 2013 10:46:34
ed002 where do you think isco is likely to end up? {Ed002's Note - I am not going to speculate as it is not worth the grief. If I say Monaco and he moves to Bayern Munich it will result in abuse.}
