Only the second time in 32 matches that we have come back from 2-0 at half to draw.

By the way, Hazard was fantastic in the second half. He busted his arse making run after run. Best game of the year for him. We saw the creativity of old

That girl is a legit 10.

So what do you guys rank, in order, of our needs this summer. Obviously they are many. My initial thought would be...
1. An athletic defensive minded box to box midfielder. Mikel, Fab, Matic are all way too slow to play back there.
2. A fullback with some speed. Baba just doesn't seem to have it. Azpi is fine for one side but we need someone to replace Ivan at RB or a LB and let Azpi on the right side.
3. A Frank Lampard type central midfielder who is not afraid to get in the box and support the striker by getting into scoring positions. All of our guys want the ball at their feet in wide positions but they never have anyone to provide service to in the box. RLC has showed this ability in the time he's gotten.
4. A backup striker. If Traore isn't ready to be that guy then we need to buy someone. Costa is just as likely to be injured, suspended, or being worthless and we need somebody we can count on behind him. Pato, Falcao, and Remy need to all be gone asap.
5. A CB. If Zouma comes back 100% this isn't a huge need imo but if not we are in trouble. I'd be fine with Kurt on one side and Cahill/Ivan/ or even Terry on the other.
Essentially we have to get faster/more athletic. Outisde of our wingers we are sloooooow everywhere else on the pitch.
Bringing in a couple of guys with attitude and maybe a little something to prove wouldn't hurt either. Maybe light a fire and get rid of the complacency we saw this year.
Not really a need but I'd be 100% fine if we sold Courtois to Real and let Begovic take over. We could make a lot of money on him, Asmir played just as well when he was in, and Courtois is a major b.
I saw this posted on The Shed about him that made me chuckle...
"He's a big-nosed, cattle trucking, waffle munching, flapper, who couldn't get a clean sheet in a laundry".

Well, you pretty much nailed it. Without knowing what Conte will be deciding, we could use quite a few more mids than we realize, or even 2 more 1st choice caliber STs .
Im not the biggest fan of Oscar, but i like when he plays in the middle of the pitch in box2box role. He has the hustle, clearly doesnt mind sliding into challenges, and can push the ball up and be creative. I think if hes around next season, Conte could really coach him up.

Yea he has the energy and gets in the right spots but I just don't think he's a natural defender at all and frankly he's not that great in the attack either. He is willing but not able.
Cesc has the ability but not the desire/energy.
So we're stuck with two guys with huge flaws in their games being asked to do things they aren't that good at.

What a way to drop 2 points --- with just over a minute in stoppage. This craptastic season can't be over soon enough.

Either way, we probably lose today if he had been in goal. Other than Bentheke's equaliser, Begovic was pretty solid.

Oh i agree, just find it interesting. Feels like hes been trying to play himself out of london the past month or so.

Sell him to RM IMO.
