I would like to share my opinion about season

2013-2014
Cech had good season, sadly got injured at very important moment. Ivanovic another good season, JM asked him to play RB and he did it very successfuly most reliable playeq together with Cahill who had absolutely brilliant season only one poor game against A.Madrid at Stamford Bridge. Terry excellent season one of his best. Cole.great player fighting with injuries whole season-worst game A.Madrid clash from unknown reason. Azpillicueta absolutely brilliant season improved himself defensively. Luiz not the best season for him. Mikel played very little but when he played he was good. Lampard absolutely legend but at 36 man can't expect to see him in his very best every game-he is a great man but not a superman. Matic brilliant-best buy in last five years he will become most important Chelsea player in the future.Ramires not his best season although he played most of his games very well. Oscar absolutely brilliant first half of a season but injuries and fatigue took him-from August 2012 till December 2013 he played 109 games for Chelsea and Brazilian NT. Hazard very good season for a guy who isn't a real team.player he did score 16times but he is the main reason why Torres, Eto'o and Ba scored only 18 goals. Willian great improvment for him amazing work rate IMO he wasn't used in right way, his contribution could be bigger. Schurrle decent.season considering that he had to play on position he didn't play when he played for BL. Torres bad season since he doesn't fit in this boring tiki--taka in attempt forced for last few years. Eto'o decent season for at least 34 year old he suited better with 3 amigos. Ba brilliant season he scored more goals than games he really played.
Any thoughts?

I agree with most of the things you said but for me ramires had a poor season for me. Most of the games he played his passing was poor and he was way to rash for my liking which always puts your team on the back foot. willian is on the same boat for me. he works really hard and but does lack the end product.
He only tends to deliver the end product in some matches. this past weekend showed two great examples of that on two occasions he got past 2 3 defenders to scuff the short into the stands

Come on dude you obviously dislike Hazard. To blame him for our strikers poor form infront of goal is tame. You do realise he created more goal scoring opportunities than anyone else in England this season and has 8 assists also so I have no idea why you've singled him out like that. Ramires AWFUL, worse season he has had in blue .

Agree with Eli and I don't see how you can say ba had a brilliant season. He was terrible 95% of the time just scored a couple of goals.

I think matic is great but think you may have over exaggerated.

Ok.
Ba played 974minutes scored 8goals, goal every 121minutes, he had 3 assists which means every 313minutes.
Eden Hazard played 4029minutes scored 17 goals one every 322minutes, assists 10 one every 400minutes. And supposed to had brilliant season.
Chelsea midfield absolutely failed this season that is why other clubs fan are mocking with Chelsea playing boring football.
To score Chelsea strikers should get decent pass or cross and they didn't get many. So it's a lie that Chelsea strikers were missing 99% of chances simply cause midfielders failed to create opportunities for them.
I do not dislike Hazard he isn't real winger also he isn't CAM-siren not a girl neither a fish. He came to wrong club he should went to Man.City with other mercenaries. In England loyalty is something important.

Torres played 2148 minutes scored 10goals, goal every 215 minutes 6 assists.
Eto'o played 2797 minutes scored 14 goals, goal every 199 minutes 10 assists every 280 minutes.
This is not subjective that is a fact.

There is a reason ba only played 900 minutes. I guarantee he woudnt have scored 14 in the league if he played every game. Plus he's a striker, hazards not.

Hazard was by far our best attacking player this season, and we have to keep him.

It's up to Hazard and Chelsea board to decide.

Hazard: Shots on target 51%. 20% goals to shots ratio.
Ba: Shots on target 43%. 16% goals to shots ratio.
It may be factual but statistics can be skewed to prove a point unless you look at all the statistics.
I agree that our strikers haven't received the best service but that's due to their poor shooting accuracy. Both Eto'o (39%) and Torres (27%) have horrid shooting accuracy. Demba Ba's may not be that bad, but the players have been accustomed to playing with poor strikers and therefore the onus to score has fallen to them.

Ba left WH after 6 months when they were relegated and left Newcastle after 18 months. Hazard has been at Chelsea for 2 years already. I wonder who's more loyal?

Each time Ba went to better club. Any player would do the same. If Hazard gets chance to play for Real Madrid it would be understandable and that won't be disloyal. But PSG. If he isn't happy as well as Cavani they might be happier at new club.
