It's easy to stay fresh when you don't have European football to tire you out. They finished 10th last season on 50 points. TENTH.Chelsea have had a unprecedented amount of luck with injuries this season.
Look at their first 11 and the premier league games they've missed sue to injury
Courtois(0),
Azpilicueta(0), Luiz(0), Cahill(0),
Moses(0), Matic(1), Kante(0), Alonso(0)
Pedro(0), Costa(0), Hazard(1)
I really don't feel comfortable liking this, but it is fudging brilliant.I'm supporting ISIS for this one.
Let's get this straight, Eriksen does not disappear. He has spells when he plays poorly, and yes he sometimes evades physical contact, but he never hides and he never disappears.
On Saturday I think he made more aerial challenges than I've every seen him do, I just don't understand why people have got such a down on him.
Actually he has been making more aerial challenges for some little while now. There was one game - possibly the 2-0 home win against Chelsea, I'm not sure - when he made four or five. Four or five! What's more he won more than his fair share of them too.Err, because he doesn't make many aerial challenges.

I dont understan the targeted abuse eriksen gets for his lack of tackling, it's no more in his game than Hugo scoring from freekicks.I am aware of that, I was trying to say he is trying harder. Sorry to be positive about such a good player. I suppose he would be a much better player if he would just run around a bit more like a headless chicken giving away stupid freekicks.

I'd be happier with him not challenging for headers but trying to read the knock and getting to it first.
With the exception of Lamela and possibly dele what does annoy me is our teams inability to concede clever freekicks. The kind that break up play, stop teams gaining a rhythm. It's cost us points against both mancs and I fear will again on Saturday.
It doesn't bother me with eriksen, I just accept the fact his strengths are elsewhere. It would bother me if it was say Lamela or rose, because they do have it in them.I don't really question him for not tackling, I question him for pulling out of aerial challenges, as pointed out above.
The Blues are preparing to sell Belgium striker Michy Batshuayi, 23, in the summer. Batshuayi joined Chelsea last summer for £33m from Marseille.(Daily Mirror)
Well done Chelsea, another career halted. And just like Marko Marin that time, (another of our targets I feel they just bought to stop us buying) they have him for a year, hardly use him and then f#ck him off
Batshuayi and Marin halted their own careers by choosing to go there in the first place IMO.
This .. have no idea why any young talent would go there (other than the obvious pay packet), trying to think of a young upcoming player they have developed/improved and has ended up owning a first team spot.
They just hoard players to deny other teams and to have a source of income by selling later when they need to gain income to cover their terrible business model. 38+ players on loan, why the fudge would you join them unless you felt the 2-3 years on the books would be enough to retire on ..

I understand why you would say that, but as a young player you must have belief in your own ability and feel sure you can force your way into the team, if you didn't take that opportunity you may regret it, like all transfers it's a gamble for both the club and the player. I think Mourinho did show that Chelsea have a policy of buying to stop their rivals getting players when he said it's not possible to do that at United.
