Personally, I would prefer Costa over Balotelli.

When Balo is good, he is class, no doubt, but in the same time, he is a time bomb, dangerous mang, might self destruct in games, might brawl between teammates. Still rmb his time in Man City.

Costa is more seasoned imho.

So Costa 1 Balo 0.

Will the CL tie outcome affect costs deal?
what if AM win CL *touchwood*?

And MVG for pool match anyone? Too soon?
can lamps play 2nd leg? Coz if he can't, he'll probably start alongside Matic

no, lampard is suspended for the 2nd leg match.. & so too mikel..
so matic, lampard & mikel gonna be JM man to turn to in liverpool game b4 its come down to MvG..

RIP Tito

R.I.P to Tito. did not noe much bout him except he was once Barca's coach. Gotta say he did so much better than the current coach for Barca.

Hodgson muz b having a headache now. Thinking shud he recall JT. JT + Cahill is the defense pairing that concede the least goal in PL. The table stats don't lie.

btw, since we're on the topic for team of the seaon, my choice is

Marshall; Shaw, Cahill, Koncielny, Coleman; Yaya, Gerrard, Lallana; Sterling, Suarez, Rodriguez

If u guys watch Cardiff's games/highlight, Marshall made a lot, A LOT of crucial save and point blank saves. Why no Terry? Coz I'm still emo dat he scored the own goal against Palace. That moment is still playing in my mind, such a crucial stage of the season, sigh. Lallana ahead of Ramsey simply bcoz Ramsey was unfit for a lengthy period. If Ramsey played more match, I'll opt for him instead. The front line speaks for itself.

No Hazard coz....I feel he still lacks something in his game...yup, I'm being very critical and having high hopes from Hazard.

No hazard? OMG

Whoa, woke up to the news. RIP Tito Vilanova.

Mine will be speroni, Coleman, Cahill, Distin, azpi, Gerrard, yaya, lallana, Sturridge, Suarez, kun

He is 1 of the best in our team no doubt. But sometimes, when we need him, he still goes missing in matches. Early on the season he was on form, no doubt, but at the 2nd half of the season, I think his form kinda dropped a little.

So many games we needed his sparks in the 2nd half of the season, especially games against Palace and Villa. I duno, maybe he has been playing too much matches, fatigue or something.

I expect great things from Hazard. I hope he can add even more goals to his games, I wan him to be Ronaldo-ish instead of Ribery-ish.

Hazard = ronaldo-ish
Salah = bale-ish

But i agree with the bold part.but we need everyone on the trident to become better next season.

- I want to see willian to be more brave and confident in making shots and decision + improve freekick and corner kick

- I want to see oscar to become better,creative and consistent because we have high hope on him

- I want to see schurlle to improve on his touch and tackle

- I want to see salah to be able to coop,communicate and have better relationship with the team so that the team trust him more after this.not to mention improve his shoot on target

- I want to see hazard to be better than before this .

With Mou, I believe all of them will only improve. And also expect some young talents to break through 1st team. I rmb it was Mou's reign at Real dat Callejon was promoted to first team.

Hazard himself said he is more Messi-ish.

Any sos for this? And yeah Hazard actually lack the power (physically) to be Ronaldo

JUventus lodged 20m for Ramires, Lampard set to pen one year extension.

Catalan set to offer 20m + 1 younger for Ramires

I'd personally let him try to prove himself for one more season; especially with so many midfielders we have in our squad. If he could hold down his spots in first XI I reckon he still have future in Chelsea. Or else we still have more youngsters to step up.

Though he is still refining his game, Hazard has drawn parallels with his playing style and that of Barcelona superstar Messi.

"If I had to choose, I'd say my body type and style of playing means I'm closer to Messi," Hazard told Spanish paper Sport.

"Ronaldo is more of an athlete - he's good at everything. He runs fast, he's strong.

"So I would say I'm closer to Messi. But obviously I don't score as many goals as he does."

agree with the bolded part. Last season Ram has been playing quite well. Just this season, duno why mcm headless chicken. I still rmb him scoring the chip against Barca, very Brazillian-like. He has all the skills and technique, his trademark remains his energetic display.

1 more season for him. If still headless chicken, reckless in his challenge, then datz it, we have more than enuff midfielders in pivot positions. Luiz, Matic, MVG, Lamps, Mikel. Not to mention if Romeu and McEahren returns from loan.

I would let ramires go.
I dun mind he play like headless chicken but what i dislike about him is he going full retard when our teams is having hard times.
