Chelsea FC - Pride of London

Hazard will stay for quite a while yet I reckon and cement himself as a legend at the Bridge. He just seems to be that kind of player too me imo.

Frank Lampard has rejoined Chelsea as part of the coaching set up while he completes his coaching badges

 

[Gosha]

Conte says Costa's long-term future is at Chelsea

 

[Thistle]

More worried about Courtois. Didn't know his wife and daughter were still in Madrid.

 

[chef]

I know hes apparently not as good as the other 2 great keepers in our league but Teebo is having another WC season. Wouldbe a huge loss if he wanted to go. I think he'll stay though.

Should of been 14 if Diego wasn't so greedy last game

Twice he made very poor/selfish decisions in the final third against Arsenal. Very uncharacteristic of him. On second thought he's probably always selfish but usually just bangs em in lol.

Yeah, but we want him to be greedy. It's just he didnt nail what he usually does.

No, not that greedy. I can understand not trying to square up for Hazard but that chance just before Arsenal's goal and also in the first half not passing to Pedro who would have been one on one ? Unacceptable.

 

[Gosha]

Don't really care if it's an own goal in the 93rd minute that gets us the win, as long as we get the three points I'll be happy. This has banana peel written all over it.

 

[Flameboy]

I think we'll be up for this. A lot's been spoken about how good they are at home, so there's no excuses not to put in a performance.

 

[Gosha]

s**t effort.

 

[Flameboy]

Not the worst result.

 

[chef]

Really need to wait until Citys result is known before we can say if this was a good or bad result for us.

 

[Flameboy]

At the very least we've gained a point on Spurs.

Anyone reckon Baker could play in a midfield 2 with Kante . Just wondering

Nope. Conte prefers two defensively sound midfielders in the 3-4-3 and doesn't play Oscar/Baker types in his system. I don't see Baker being a squad player at SB while Conte is at the helm.

 

[WCEbrody]

Hasn't really been mentioned but as much as i love how much of a warrior Luiz has been the for club, we have Ake and Zouma sitting on the bench and the man is clearly injured. Give him some time off Antonio!

Loved Conte's response.

Brilliant. He genuinely couldn't give a s**t what Mourinho says.

Can Baker defend ? I actually think that a defensively sound and offensively creative midfielder would push Matic out of the eleven. If someone like Fabregas had a defensive side to his game, he'd probably be the first one picked every week.

Yep. Explains why we are/were chasing Vidal and Nainggolan. We'll definitely be throwing a heap of cash at one again in the summer.

Yeah, he played it brilliantly. Mou would be dirty about not getting any bites.
