Fair or unfair ? For me, i would not care if Costa or Hazard didn't play for us again. Costa has become too much of a loose cannon. Every opposition's centre halfs know now that all they have to do is give him an odd dig and verbally wind him up and he will be more interested in retribution than doing what he is payed to do. Hazard, since the Eva affair has been worse than crap. He obviously took umbrage from Jose's inference that he didn't need treatment that day. Hard to imagine that your ego would be that fragile that you would go on a "mini-strike" as a result, but how else can it be explained that the journalists and players player of the season turns into something that resembles a headless chicken. As for Fabregas, funnily enough i tend to give him the benefit of the doubt. He certainly hasn't been wearing his "magic hat" but i feel he was been played in the wrong position and his lack of pace was being cruelly exposed. Also in his interviews he certainly manned up to his failings and admitted that they were letting Jose down. Finally, in an awful season so far performance wise, is there any need to send out nomination forms for our "player of the year" ? Poor old Willian's back must be knackered !!!
I think I could go along with Costa, who seems to think collecting yellow cards is on a par with collecting works of art. However, I beg to differ over Hazard! He certainly hasn't performed like a fair few under Jose, but like many of them I think we will see him restore his form, now he can relate to a new atmosphere in the dressing room. Wouldn't it be nice to see Eva return to her old job!
Hazard has performed terribly. After his "knock" in leicester i was ready to ask for him to get out of the club. Id give him this season to redeem homself, but ill never look at him in the same way. And tbh i dont think hes even going to reach the level we all hoped he would hes too limited. Costa can **** off. No more to say. Cesc, i believed tried. He was trying just v poor, and he was one of the few to stick his neck out ALL season in the media to support jose. He might be clapped but he tried. Two rats instead of 3 for me.
Not sure about Hazard, I have watched him play for Belgium a few times this season and he was no different to how he played for you. Maybe he is really just out of form.
Very tricky. Hard to say who is out of form and who has downed tools. None of the 3 mentioned have been pulling up trees when on international duty either....
And Hazard aside, the other 2 were quiet at the tail end of last season as well compared to the start of last year.
I applaud the Chelsea fans for letting the players know that support is not unconditional. I think there is a dark side to Fabregas, a selfish side to Hazard and Costa is just a prick. Talented players (apart from Costa) but replaceable. I didn't see any of the Sunderland game. Did Fabregas and Costa do anything of note? I know Hazard didn't fancy playing so stayed at home rubbing his thigh.
I heard that Hazard was giving that doctor a seeing to, but that Mourinho didn't know about it. When he found out, he gave all the lads a dressing down about telling him everything about their private lives, and they all took umbrage at the fact that they took a bollocking when it was Hazard who was getting his pink flute guzzled. Consequently, the dressing room turned on Mourhinho. I heard this from a fairly reliable source.
I reckon this is baloney, we were **** well before Eva's tiff with Jose. It was blatantly obvious after a couple of games things were not right. There may be some truth in the Ivan/Eva thing, but if there is, it wasn't what made us ****.
