You know what's a massive problem for Chelsea right now in attack? Out of our attackers only one of them really strikes fear into the hearts of opposition defenders, Hazard, and because he's the only one they can totally focus on him which shuts us down. Costa is a poacher more than anything so other than him having chances to shoot he's not too much to worry about(even if he's excellent at scoring), especially as Hazard is an important creator yet if he can't get it to Costa or to somebody else who can then no worries for the opposition, since Willian, Oscar and Fabregas second half syndrome aren't really doing much. You look at all great attacks they all have 2 or even 3 guys who are genuinely fearsome(Barca pretty much all the time), and it makes it more difficult as they need to focus properly on multiple players. You don't see Oscar or Willian get anything like the same treatment Hazard does, we need a player who can. It won't solve everything but it'll help a lot, as Hazard gets taken out of games for large periods due to the swamping that he gets. One could say a great player will get out of it but at the same time even if he does it's not like he can do it all himself, nor can he rely on anyone else in the team.

Totally undeserved but FUCK YES we got the lead! Keepers trading howlers, parity is restored.

Hull wanted that so much more in the final minutes. Got reasonably close as well. Pity that they couldn't get the point that they deserved.

skrtel stamp on De Gea is being swept under the carpet by the media...I can't find a single article on the incident..He should be banned retrospectively because referee didn't see the incident but why are the media not calling for him to be banned? Was mourhino right about them having bias towards some clubs and against others?

You guys and Liverpool get it the most, and I'd say pretty comfortably too. Not always, Suarez got destroyed at times, since sometimes you just get defend something, but yeah, Liverpool are media darlings it doesn't matter how they are performing. They always will be, a lot of the media want nothing more than for Liverpool to win titles again.

I always thought the whole United bias was something created by non United fans but It's glaringly obvious that there is some form of Liverpool bias. I think with us it was more down to the who the manager was and not the club being the media darlings. Fergie definitely intimidated the media, and they were afraid to go against us but with Moyes it was down to his personal relations within the media. There was some article where it was mentioned that Moyes and Big Sam socialized with the journalists so they got favorable treatment. The whole narrative behind Moyes last season was he needed time but with Van Gaal they raised the expectation before the season started and crucified him after he failed to meet those expectations...

You could be right, but still, even if it is due to the managers they are generally still pretty favourable with you guys. Liverpool are definitely #1 though. Gerrard could be the biggest mug in football, Pepe x2, and he's still be Captain Fantastic to the media.
