nitlad: Don't know about been cool and PC.And to who exactly. But it's apparent the champion of the league this year will be who's the least worst out of the top 4. And this isn't in comparison in quality to other leagues per se,it's more so to quality of EPL in past years. 1 Like |

FBS:he s 20years of age and was bought by Juventus for 40million Euros . Considering the fact that he z been more influential to Juventus season resurgence than any other player in that team, how much do you think it would cost for EPL teams to get him? |

Jaypea98:40mil + some add-ons will do the trick. And anyone thinking he will flop have yet to see him play. He is full of energy and running and not scared to take on defenders. Me thinks he can easily replace Oscar and just about perfect for our counter attacking play. |

raumdeuter:At the WC everyone was cooing about his performances i reminded them he did not provide a single assist from open play. This is unacceptable for a supposed #10. Not that starting Casemiro would have guaranteed anything but i just found it amusing that Madrid who greatly benefited from Kroos playing at the #4 when we faced them would make that same gaffe 1 Like |

Chelsea's form is gradually improving. There's still something wrong with the attacking play, though, and it's become trendy to blame it all on Costa, which isn't entirely fair. Willian and Hazard, in particular, ALWAYS run with the ball. It's as if it's in their contract to play this way, and it actually slows down attacks. The movement of Chelsea's forwards is poor, and part of that is because, whenever either of these two has the ball, the others have to watch and wait, as they can't tell what is going to happen. Nobody, other than Costa, ever makes any sort of run behind the opposition back four, and he's doing it less then last season as we are just not delivering it early enough. Mourinho needs an attacking coach to work the players into the value of two-touch pass and move football. Time and again, by the time Chelsea arrive at the opponents penalty area, there are 7 or 8 defenders in front of them, and as a result, actual scoring chances are few and far between. 7 Likes |

Say all you got to say about Kroos, truth remains he's one of the finest midfielders the world has ever had. This is one ninja who understands what midfield play is all about. A ninja who doesn't necessarily have to run around with the ball, a ninja whose vision and possessional play dwarfs every other ninja's meagre skills. He didn't lose the game for Madrid, Benitez did. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Ibime: It all boils down to the manager in charge. Benitez haven't been working hard enough to unleash the beasts in his players. Not just Kroos, ninjas like Ronaldo, Modric, Benzema, Bale etc have all been a shadow of themselves. Under Carlo's watch, Kroos had the most impressive pass completion rate of all the players in La Liga to have played more than four games. He also won 70% of his tackles, provided three assists, created 15 chances and made five interceptions, despite being deployed as a holding midfielder. It is obvious Rafa isn't getting few things right. 1 Like |

Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Ibime(m): 9:37am On Nov 23, 2015 |
Griffon: Good point. Under Ancelotti, he would dominate the ball. Under Rafa, you sit deep and let the opposition have the ball ie more defending to do. Kroos is more a Xabi Alonso type of DM - not there to defend but to control the play. However I stil feel he is lazy and doesnt push himself. If you ask me, he could be fitter and more tenacious. No excuses because he actually has the physical capability to compete. He did at Leverkusen. 1 Like 1 Share |

Agunnewi: There are at least two crosses from Hazard that rolls in front of goal begging for a simple tap in... But where is Costa? Around the edge of the box or at most, the penalty spot. At a point, the commentators started asking which position exactly is Costa playing... Point is Costa drifts to the left too much for my liking. He needs to stay more central. Ruud van Nistlerooy and Inzaghi comes to mind. Hazard and Willian was extremely excellent on Saturday. 1 Like |

So Hazard personally requested that he start in the hole against Stoke and Norwich? Good thinking from the Belgian I must say. He had no defensive duties to worry about, had no drifting inside to do and had no RB and RM closing on him. He was so much involved in the game, enjoying a free role and was orchestrating proceedings on the final third for us. Hazard is the man who fvcks men up in the hole, I hope to see more of him there. |

Agunnewi:i disagree. Costa is d problem nw. Hazard nd willian played that way last season, yet chelsea won double and score gud number of goals. If u say willian does nt hv d vision to detect runs by his teammate; that is true, bt to say dat is d reason we hv nt bn scoring much, it is a lie. Costa is d only problem. His positioning is nw poor, considering dat it is wat got hm many goals last season. Dnt forget he scored alot 4rm d six yard box last season. |
