I have a feeling that we'll see a very different Eden Hazard tomorrow. Definitely worth backing to break his goalless streak.

If we do see a 'different' Hazard, I hope the crowd let their feelings known.


2.) 18 Dec 2015 18:52:24
I hope the crowd let him know. I still think he doesn't look match fit.


3.) 18 Dec 2015 19:44:11
Is he not injured tomorrow?


4.) 18 Dec 2015 20:46:45
Ruled himself out again hasn't he? Embarrassment of a player at the moment. No heart, no passion. Same as quite a few players.


5.) 18 Dec 2015 22:33:10
You want the crowd to boo a home player? Shame on you.
We've got a world class player on our hands and if cfc get the right man in charge to free him up and play to his full potential without so much emphasis on his defensive responsibility he will shine again.
Jose's gone hazard is still here.


6.) 18 Dec 2015 22:37:26
Ed mentioned that a board member had doubts over hazards attitude before we signed him. Maybe that board member is being proved right or maybe hazard didn't like joses boring defensive football.

{Ed002's Note - It wasn't a board member.}

If Hazard, Costa and Cesc were world class and professional they would of forgot their ego's and played to there best level no matter what was going on at the club.


8.) 19 Dec 2015 06:58:59
Shame on us? Why's that? When the bloke is paid £175,000 a WEEK and he doesn't want to work his nuts off for 90 minutes a couple of times a week? And you expect fans who work hard for their money and go and pay through the nose to watch a game of football and not to voice their frustration when one of their so called best players cannot be bothered and substitutes himself. Have a word with yourself. I'd rather have the entire youth team playing, who play with heart and passion then watch Eden, Cesc, Nemanja, JT with their half hearted performances at the moment. So don't come on here saying shame on us for showing our feelings towards the players. I don't agree with booing but on this occasion when we've lost the best manager we've ever had and in the world over some over paid premadonnas then yeah, I can fully understand it.

I'll come on here and say what I like pal, ask yourself why these league winners last season are so under performing this season. Something we don't know about has happened in that dressing room for it to go all tits up this much. Jose's the most stubborn egomaniac out the lot of them and in my opinion has bought this on himself.
I wanted him to be here long term but his behavior attitude and negative football has seen his demise.
Also he said himself that if he couldn't bring some of our youth through then he'd be s failure, so instead of giving the young hungry kids a chance, like cfcsadam would rather see, he stuck with the under performing super stars.
Yes he's s very successful coach but he's dragged the down and he's worn thin on me. Cfc til I die not Jose til I die.


10.) 19 Dec 2015 10:31:31
Negative football? Huh? Where? Costa upfront, flanked by Willian, Hazard, Oscar/Pedro/Fabregas

How exactly is that negative?

If we played Matic, Mikel, Ramires then yes I'd agree but we don't.

He can't give the kids a chance because of the situation we find ourselves in? You'd be happy to chuck in unproven youngsters in the deep end yeah? Not being funny, but are these so called quality youngsters THAT good? Josh McEachran was supposed to be the next BIG thing and look what happened to him? Bamford - not exactly setting the premiership alight with his performances at Palace is he? Neither is Van Ginkel at Stoke, Moses at West Ham, I could go on.

The performances are down to the players and players alone. A manager can sit them down, talk tactics, tell them what he wants and where he wants them to be. But at the end of the day it's down to the PLAYERS to fulfil that duty which they aren't doing. Forgetting that it's the FANS who pay their wages. Not Jose, so they should have left their egos aside and played as well as we know they can.

I agree (to a point) about his vendetta about refs but he does that to take away how bad our performances have been. He's done that everywhere he goes. Defends his players and takes the bullets. It got a bit embarrassing in the end but surely you can understand that he'd rather the papers talk about him then the players who weren't performing. That's what makes him.


11.) 19 Dec 2015 11:23:25
I think there lies the problem. We played with attacking players but tried to implement a defensive side to there game, without success. I hope the next manager brings his own ideas/formations as the 4-2-3-1 is a little predictable. I don't think Jose failed the club, the club has failed him. I don't see certain signings as Jose signings. So there alone was a huge problem when the manager identifies players the club fail to bring them in. Jose I'm sure will be back at the bridge one day, I just hope it's not our next champions league game as manager of PSG.


12.) 19 Dec 2015 22:52:52
Wouldn't surprise me if he came back to manage, not one bit. If a club doesn't back the manager in the transfer market, then I'm sorry he's on to a loser already. JM made clear who he wanted but we ended up with no one. Where this leaves our transfer dealings for January I don't know. Ed002 said it doesn't change anything, but I don't know. Maybe we'll wait until summer. And see who the new man wants.

Yet we let Petr Cech go to them?

Let's see where AOC is playing football in September.

Batshuayi needs full games, not substitute appearances with 15 or 20 mins here and there. Playing week in week out would be great for his development.

Llorente coming the other way would purely be for cover in case of injury to Costa, even then I doubt he'd be used. I'm sure Conte would be more than happy to play a front 3 of Willian, Pedro and Hazard.

Perhaps Begovic would like to play 1st team football.?

That wasn't meant as a slight or to be argumentative. Just found the paragraph that came to mind. As you say, things change all the time in football, which you know a lot more about than I. Apologies if I came across the wrong way.

{Ed002's Note - No, as I said, he will not be mentioned again.}

{Ed002's Note - I have explained at length about Griezmann - the discussions were concluded when Chelsea were told that he would not be sold this summer and would be signing a new contract - which he will. Chelsea has moved on, you need to do the same. }

Perhaps I misinterpreted this. Thanks for the update Ed.

IB

{Ed002's Note - And that was true. I won't say anything more about him at all.}

Is this a genuine comment? That we may get relegated?

Standard.

Why do you class the approach to transfers as scattergun?

Kovacic isn't good enough? Sometimes opinions on here are just scary.

I can't blame the editors for getting fed up.

There are very few midfielders in the premier league who can do what Kovacic does. His ball retention is literally phenomenal.

Honestly, how do you expect anyone to answer this question.

If you look at the player as an asset, Haaland will probably represent best value. What will he be worth in 5 years time? You'd like to think the same value wouldn't you, if not higher, he'd be 25 and a proven world class striker.

So if we decided to sell, or he wished to leave you'd have had 5 good years of service and your money back.

Lukaku on the other hand.

Despite the huge figures being quoted, I'd say Haaland was the biggest risk, but potentially by far and away the best investment.
