re: Chelsea 2014/15 Season Long Thread

I think bailing on Oscar is ridiculous. He had a good first half of the season. I put his dip in form down to fatigue. If we're honest, Cesc hasn't been that much better second half of the year, and there's nobody calling for him to get sold. The only thing that would make me feel okay about letting Oscar leave is if it's to sign Pogba. Terry obviously needs replacing soon (perhaps it's Zouma/Kalas etc.) and I'm not a fan of Cahill. I'd love to get Varane somehow this window. Letting leads slip has been a real issue and for several games our guys looked timid to attack the ball in the air. I want a dominant, young pairing in central defense to sit in front of Courtois. Having Matic sit in front of an impenetrable back four and Courtois continuing to develop in goal would make me very happy. I used to be so confident when we had a lead that the game was over, but that hasn't always been the case this season.
Having players Mourinho can trust to rotate will be huge. I think he has realized Remy is someone who can come in and I think Cuadrado will feature more once he learns the system and everything.

The same thing happens every single season. He can't be that tired he doesn't even play all the time anymore and when he does he lasts like 50-60 min. I'm over the excuses with him. It may prove to be a mistake but I've seen enough to be confident in my opinion. He's not the CM we need if we are going to win big in Europe.

Patrick Bamford was named the Championship player of the year.

We won the Champions League largely thanks to Ramires, Meireles and Mikel. Even if Chelsea offload Oscar and sign Pogba, Mourinho isn't playing expansive football in a huge Champions League match. Pogba will be sitting right in front of the back four and running his socks off. Mourinho will continue to play the way he plays in big games. It doesn't matter who he has on his team. He has tactics and he's going to stick to them. Oscar has unbelievable technical ability and a high work rate. He fits the system well IMO.

Look, that team deserved everything they got but let's be honest. That's not a formula for sustained success.

From August-November.

Hard work doesn't help much when you're sitting on the bench. Oscar has been so bad at times he couldn't even get on the field in situations where we had to have goals. Physically, mentally, whatever it is he can't sustain a high level over the entire season and at times is downright worthless.

I don't disagree. When he is on he is perfect for us. That's why everything was clicking the first 2-3 months of the season and we were shredding everybody. I'm just over seeing him fade year after year.

U-18s just won first leg of FA Youth Cup Final 3-1.

Oscar should.have been removed from that match. His arse was majorly out of it. Cesc played well as did Matic. Now for the Foxes. This may be a crawl to the title.

Yeah, hopefully he's okay and is good to go for the last couple matches of the season, but I definitely want him to take his time and sit the next few out.
Also, nice to see Hazard win POTY. He's been outstanding. It's amazing how much he's grown since he first moved to London.

You listen to Kyle Martino and Taylor Twellman too much.
We don't even know if there is anything wrong with him.

Let's wait and see what the doctors say first. However, more Drogba is fine with me.

After the U-18's went down 1-0 to city they have owned the game now 1-1

Ha, I just can't see how any Chelsea fan would want to see more Drogba until the title is wrapped up.
I love him, I really do, and he's a Chelsea legend without question. That said, it's hard to watch him at this stage in his career. He is dreadful.

No doubt Dids has lost a step (or two), but I would prefer him up top over Oscar.
Posted on 4/27/15 at 9:28 pm to jimmy the leg
It's not even his pace, losing that is unavoidable. His touch is putrid now. The ball may as well be hitting a brick wall.
