I think there have been many examples where a player leaves and the team rises as one With us Owen, Coutiniho spring to mind. Hazard is quality, no doubt but what I think happens when you have a player like that is everyone waits for them to do something When they don’t they sort of freeze Like spurs with Kane Clearly he is a great striker but yet when they lost him the rest stepped up - I think when he came back the team loses something at a time while the returning player needs time to get back into shape
2018/19 qualify for CL with Hazard 2019/20 will not qualify for CL w/out Hazard It won’t take that long to see who’s right
Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit I know what you are saying Lucas and I can see it but just agree with Z more on this one
Rashford should have taken it. Pogba’s ego was being fed there.... Would like Wolves to nick a winner here now.....will stop all the gushing about the Utd defence...
Pretty much the same squad. Different manager but that has been the case at Chelsea now for over a decade and they’ve consistently qualified.
Haven't you been one of the posters moaning about us not signing players? But Chelsea having the same squad is somehow a good (or not so bad) thing? They've not been signing top players for a while either so it's not just this window. Lampard isn't exactly the same standard of manager they normally appoint.
From what I have seen so far they have looked very good have Chelsea but it’s a results based thing this game. Virtually impossible to know anyway as the changed manager and what is certain is the two styles are very different. Hazard may have been amazing under Frank or they may have had a bust up and destroyed the buzz in the changing room I am thinking about this way too much now lmao We will see
Relying on one player is never healthy, especially when that player performs according to the weather and what cereal was picked for him.
Thing is son, Eriksen, Moura are all creative players who have pace trickery and can score goals. Chelsea have giroud Pedro and Willian..
