games a bit flat

Great pass Meireles.

Chelsea seem very fluid, really liking Bertrand in the middle the way he can interchange with Hazard or Cole and provide ye with that extra option.

Very nice to watch so far and with the likes of Mata, Hazard and Torres in the attacking positions ye can create something out of nothing.

I t was mentioned again recently but Mikel was actually an attacking player before Jose got his hands on him. The eagles boss is always moaning about how we ruined him. He actually did score goals! (2 international ones anyway)

Knex*

Just as I praise Bertrand he goes and bitches out of the shot :pac:

Johner

Great play Torres!

Washington Irving

Silly challenge

Barr

Well done Torres

Washington Irving

Nice peno, 1-0 Hazard

Sweet pen

My man crush on Hazard grows

Cracking Penalty.

Roger Sterling

Bit rash from Anita.

markie29

never a penalty in my opinion...

Knex*

Dive from Torres no?

Rash challenge admittedly.

Guy:Incognito

3 games in and I'm already pissed off with Hazard, purely because of the commentators and them trying to sound clever. "Idin Azaar" . Just say Eden Hazard in your normal bloody accent.

I thought that at first, from behind it looked like a dive.

But they just showed the side angle and it wasn't. Anita caught his knee and ankle, stone wall peno.

Your joking right

He kicks his knee and then catches his foot, clear as day penalty.

BetterCallSaul

It was a penalty, stupid from Anita.

yeah just saw it now from the same angle as you...i withdraw my previous statement :P

Washington Irving

When you make a challenge like that in the box, you're gonna give away a penalty nine times out of ten

GavRedKing

Hazard has continued his good run. Hope we can continue and push on and score another 1 or 2.

Hank Scorpio

Never get tired of that physio, gorgeous :pac:

Well as someone who lives in a non-English-speaking country, I appreciate when people try and pronounce my name as I do (Neil), rather than how it would be pronounced in their normal accent (Nay-eel)

Hazard put the penalty away well. Shows he's a confident player IMO

Well for £50 you can't expect much.

Nice edit!

I've never understood why he doesn't take them. If he did his scoring stats would have been amazing

Paully D

Such a shame to see Essien warming the bench these days. What a player he was before the injuries.

He just never takes penos. Even when he was scoring for fun for Liverpool

Loving the chants to Luiz, "You're just a sh1t Coloccini"

Neil3030

Torres playing well today.

Giving Terry and Abramovic food for thought for when they sit down to discuss transfer needs before the window shuts.

That's why I quoted you . No confidence, last we spell from him just now sums him up the torres of old would have put his laces to that and scored, instead today's Torres held the ball up then eventually gave it away.

I remember even in the champions league shootout he was arguing away saying he didn't want to take one, thankfully he didn't

Professional Griefer

AZA

amiable

Chelsea passing the ball about with some pace

Knex*

I always understood it to be that Torres was a fairly poor peno taker so stayed clear of them. You won't even catch him taking one in a shootout I would think.

Panthro

Now that's a bit shyt

Sgt Pepper 64

Hazard is just a class above but he deserves a better centre forward than Torres

Washington Irving

Hard to tell if there was contact, but at least the ref is consistent. If it wasn't a foul it was a dive
