Arsenal were bad all over. Front two did nothing all game, mid was anonymous and the defence Perhaps a good thing they're not in the CL, they'd be one of the whipping boys Chelsea, be interesting. With Hazard off and a transfer ban, can see them back in the EL after Christmas
Fromt what I saw, last half hour, the Willock who came on looked the most dangerous arsenal player. Should have scored but got into couple nice positions.
Put it this way, let see if Chelsea do better than 3rd, league cup semi and a European trophy. If they do better than that without hazard I’ll admit you were right
in fairness they've been gifted 3rd and the league cup is other teams not taking it seriously. nobody thinks Chelsea did well this year
Yep, Hazard downed tools until they changed manager (again). He's been great this season but doesn't take much for him to start churning off **** performances
I actually think Chelsea are too reliant on Hazard performing. Much like we have been with Gerrard, Saurez, Torres, etc in the past.
Keep saying it and it might become truth. just because he had 1 poorer season doesn’t mean he downed tools. It was Mourinho 3rd season you’re referring too right? The season every Chelsea player was **** bar Willian? The same thing that happens every year with Mourinho. Maybe the fact the manager couldn’t get the team playing well due to tactics has led to it his poor performances. Im sure if you put Salah into that team and told him to not express himself and defend more than he attacks he’ll have a poor season. fact is hazard has been probably most consistent performer along with Aguero over the last 7 years in the prem.
In the same way we were gifted second? You can’t say no one takes league cup seriously when it’s actually taken more seriously than fa cup due to timing of it. Hasn’t it been won by a top 6 team for past 10 years or something? Sounds pretty serious to me. Lets be honest, if we lose the CL final whose had the more successful season? We both didn’t win the league, we both didn’t win a domestic trophy, we both got CL qualification and one of us would have won a European trophy. Putting it down to just pure facts, they’ve had a decent year
He's done it three times ffs. Even of it was only once, you don't go from player of the season to struggling relegation fodder standard and back again at a flick of a switch. He did nothing whilst sulking, nothing! As soon as things aren't going as he likes, he downs tools. No chance I'd want him in my team. Simply put, not a team player. But fair enough mate, if you fancy him
Purely in terms of trophies, they will have had the better year. However, would you swap our season for theirs?
He actually had a hip injury all year in mourinhos third year. No wonder he was **** playing through the pain barrier
When are the 3 times? 3 full seasons? Again, you’ve no idea if he downed tools, you’ve seen his form dip and made an assumption. 6 top seasons and 1 poor one is good going for a poor player, I hope Salah has that kind of record for us
