When's the last time we signed a finished article? Probably the Remy, Ba, Hatem, Cabaye phase. Out of those four one was on loan and one had a titanic of a clause in his contract.
Semi-crock. Lacks pace and fitness and generally a bit of a plodder. Has vision and close control but these are things as nothing if you don't have an engine and athleticism in the PL. I'd get rid of him.
Took Terry off in that game at half time. Hazard started running sideways instead of forward. Costa tries to get sent off every game. Next will be the keeper letting one through his legs......
It's partly cause the players can't be themselves on the pitch, especially the flair players. In games they have to work like dogs and over time that erodes morale. Hazard is the classic example he's always having to run back for every little thing - they are just sick of it all. Over organised. Players have started to drop off. That Brazilian kid came as a forward/winger...Where does he come on? Left back. /Pardesque
There was a little period last year when they were killing teams and I can't really remember why that was?
