Or win the group and wait for Real Madrid, Bayern Munich or Juventus. Which one is better? :mrgreen:

Point is there’s not much difference between first or second this season.
:lol: :lol:

I feel you bro but chief, PSG & Barca are arguably the best 2 teams in UCL (City up there) so far this season. Then add to the fact that 2nd leg will be away. Will rather face Bayern, Juve, or Madrid with 2nd leg at home. Granted anything can happen between now & Feb.

And from a probability stand point - 2/3rd chance of Barca or PSG is bad compared to 4/7 chance of facing Shaktar, Basel, Porto or Sevilla. I wan make CFC reach Q/F at least :taunt: :taunt:

No idea what plati was typing up there. "To a lesser extent Hazard".... :shock: menioning Willian as a replacement for Hazard - lol!

I will say Kante 1st, Hazard a super close 2nd so far this season.. IMO - Kante is more replaceable than Hazard when everyone is fit.

You obviously didnt watch todays match between PSG & Bayern.
PSG is yet to prove themselves against Europes best teams when it counts. Till then, lets just agree the jury is still out.

It will do you like film trick when you see Real win 3 UCL titles in a row (wont suprise me one bit).
As badly as they have played so far, they are still in the mix.
Bayern look like Bayern, especially at home.

Will agree that Barca is looking like the best team in Europe, at the moment.

True. However, would the system work MINUS Hazard? The Belgian is Chelsea's best player but is he the most important?

Yet still brought their A-Team to Munich.
Anyone who watched that match will tell you they played to win it.

In any case, no point talking anymore. Now we get to see what they are really made of.
Lets continue this debate later.

Coach is 100% on point.

Anyway, Chelsea is an all or nothing club. Roman doesn’t do moral victories. Only achievement worth celebrating is a trophy lifting event. And to achieve that, you can run but you no fit hide. You will have to beat at least 2 to 3 big boys along the way. Whether na second round, QF or later, na all the same struggles.

Chelsea's key player. Simple as that.

Keep telling yourself that. Hazard is your marquee player, but the truth is that If Hazard was out injured, Chelsea wouldnt feel it as bad as they do when Moses is out.

And I am not even a fan of moses.

Just pray Hazard does not get injured. If he does, you will see Chelsea drop into mid table!

Those whio make Chelsea tick at the moment are Moses, Hazard and Fabergas. Take those three out and watch the team become ordinary. Conte had finally found a winning formula but his team has two main weaknesses:

They do not have a quality left wingback
Morata is not of the same quality as Diego Costa

He needs to address both concerns in the January transfer window in my opinion. The way Chelsea are playing at the moment is simply a delight to watch.

I cannot wait to watch Chelsea vs Man City. For me, Hazard is a more productive player than his Belgian team mate De Bryne.

Prediction: Chelsea will park major bus against Man C again and still get beat.

Drinkwater is a bottom of the table quality player. his level is the likes of Crystal Palace, Bournemouth and frankly, with Ndidi and Iborra, he wont get into Leicester now.

I think the difference between the two is that Eden starts the season a little late..dude loooooves his Cheeseburgers and hence comes into the season half fit...by the time he's up to speed KdB don dey skatta already...but I do NOT think KdB is a better footballer...sure he plays in a better squad with more technical players but Hazard does some incredible stuff
