it's pretty clear that CFC players seem to get there way over the manager and the board seem to back this.
My question is what players are the biggest problem at Chelsea, they don't seem to be a great team together.

I mean they don't look like they play for each other to win things it all looks like individuals for there own gain.
When you look at Liverpool , city even smaller teams like Burnley they seem to have a great team ethic . imo Chelsea don't and just wondered why?

Plus David luiz is he really injured, just seems a bit weird. I love it when he plays, yes he can be hung go but at least he has a go.
Just wondered why he isn't playing and will he be there next season?

And last season?

But Chelsea win titles, and lots of them, unlike Liverpool and Burnley (strange side to mention, you would of been better mentioning Spurs or Arsenal. When did Loserpool last win a title? 30 years ago?

{Ed0333's Note - we won the European Cup 5 times and 19 league titles which dwarfs you by some way.

Liverpool fans and their history.

{Ed0333's Note - At least we have some

Ed0333 yet not a single premier league winners medal. You have failed to compete in modern day football.
Well done to your grandad tho ;)

{Ed0333's Note - When you are attempting to articulate in written form it’s universally accepted to try and keep your content relevant and not throw in random comments otherwise you people will think you have Tourette’s. 13 top 4 finishes in the Premier League is not failing to compete in modern day football.

Here we go, Ed0333 - why don't you tell us what a 'big' club you are (again! )! You continue being a good cup team and living on your ancient history while we will continue to win Premierships.

{Ed0333's Note - yes we are nostalgic about our past glories and we have every right to do so. Why should we not be proud of the achievements and the history we have created. If I may Miss Darren Wood, may I ask you a question? Do you have ancestors that were army veterans in any capacity?

And when did spurs last win a title g8 the point I was making was they play for each other in a solid team.

06 May 2018 12:08:52

06 May 2018 18:12:53
Thats true ed but all those titles you mention only 1 of them in the last quarter of a century, its like saying a wooly mammoth is better than a elephant, the elephant just doesn't care lol.

Congratulations to the youth team on another remarkable season. They blast Arsenal 7-1 over two legs to get the Youth Cup, and today won in very convincing fashion against United in the competition's final.

Hudson-Odoi looked a level or two above United's prodigy Angel Gomes. We've got an astonishing talent on our books, people.
Reece James in defense never looked troubled, and he's had an exceptional season also captaining the side.
Dujon Sterling is already a top class athlete, and pretty damn good footballer as well. Tailor made for the wingback position, and I'd argue he should've been given chances instead of buying Zappacosta in the summer.
Billy Gilmour is another big big talent. Not true academy bred as he was bought from Rangers last summer, but still has great potential.
Today was played without two of our most fantastic talents as well, as they were without Trevoh Chalobah and Ampadu.

Some fantastic talents are coming through right now. We need to use them.

05 May 2018 23:24:44
Let's not forget that Billy Gilmour is only 16 and he's playing well enough to be called up for the Scotland U-21s.

You have to remember that most of our youth players are big and strong and powerful runners BUT when they hit their 20's everyone else are their physical equal and suddenly the game is something totally different. Loftus-Cheek is a great example of someone who was very powerful in his youth days and then he suddenly finds he is playing in more organised football and everyone is as big and powerful as him. All those mentioned above I endorse as real potential but they need to be nurtured not continually told how great they are and of course they are only 16 to 18 years of age. Few of the so called 'stars' that have been mentioned over the years have gone on to set the footballing world alight for one reason or another.

I would like to give a shout-out to Mason Mount who could surpass all of the others. The future's Blue.

06 May 2018 19:17:33
Yea MDW, Mason Mount has done really well this season at Vitesse (winning their POTY award), I pray he remains humble, patient and hardworking. I believe Chelsea has great plans for him and Hudson Odoi.

Well well well would you believe it, Tottenham have just lost, and although that 4th position is still in their hands I sense we really can take it now.

If tomorrow wasn't already a must win for us, now it's more important then ever.

The door has been opened, let's take advantage and really pile the pressure on spurs, because we all know how they crumble under pressure.

C'mon Chelsea!

05 May 2018 17:35:22
If we had any chance tomorow was a must win either way but seeing Spurs loose gives us a little more hope. It'll be very difficult beating Liverpool tomorow with the confidence they have but their defence is a big weakness with them so i truely hope we attack them.

Agree Spurs are known to be big bottlers and Newcastle and Leicester can be tricky games although both teams are playing badly and Spurs are at home but you never know! .

Tomorrow we'll know how strong our players are- mentally and the magnitude of their fighting spirit.
