He's been doing this for 1.5 seasons now. Granted he's not CR7 level, not even Neymar, but he's one of the few players who can grab the game by the neck and dictate the ending.
I wonder how did you came up with that I might be a Hazard hater because I don't think you could've read that out of my post. I'm actually a big fan of Hazard and he's my favourite player in the BPL currently but I'd never say he decides games on his own & on regular basis at that. You can say Messi decides games on his own, but Hazard? Naah. That's taking it way too far.Are you a Hazard hater or just biased against everyone not playing for FCB?
It's not so much I think about it really being packed as much as it's Mou using the same guys all the time. If we had the FA Cup and CL to contest at this stage I reckon we'd lose the EPL due to running out of steam. Pretty sure Mou uses the least amount of different players, and the same players in his starting XI as much as he can. I think one of his failings is he's not managed the squad very well at times. League-wise exiting everything else is a blessing, not that I'm happy we exited either competition, obviously.
That's one weird way to explain it then. Sorry if I sounded harsh, but it felt a bit poor of an explanation to talk about a packed schedule when all you have left is your national league.
That's more how I feel about it actually, not so much what I think Eden is trying to say. Should have specified that, my bad.
Some of the guys look jaded, and have for a while now, but then I guess Mou knows best as he sees them every day. Plus I do think tactically we've been found out. Anyway getting KO'd does benefit the calendar if you're going for other trophies, like the league, but it by no means makes it okay to be KO'd, it doesn't make it feel any better. It's just a very slight, silver lining, especially for us who were strugging all over the shop, and still are. My confidence in this team is so low that I do believe if we stayed in the CL til say, semi-final time, we'd probably lose that and the league.
Well at least he knows what he needs to do. Next season boy, set the world alight!! Please.
Haha, of course.
In all seriousness though, we're one of the strongest clubs in the world these days but I will always accept that Chelsea won't be considered an elite club like Real, Barca, United and all, either for a long, long time or even forever, due to the origins of our recent success and how this success arrive half a century or more later than those established clubs. Every player that comes here would all most likely prefer to play for Barca or Real, so if they eventually want to go there it just has to be accepted. You move on.
I just wanted to express that opinion of mine. We are a top club, but the teams with the bigger, more illustrious histories, like Real, Barca, Man Utd, Bayern, are beyond that, elite. Obviously we are striving for that, but it'll be harder for us to be accepted as that even after more success, especially as these elite teams are continuing to increase their own trophy counts.
