Hes a back up for teams challenging for Top 6 a starter for everyone else. His lack of right peg/touch on passes to go along his lack of pace which hurt hims. Just think if he had a Baines crossing for him the amount of headers he would score

The lack of crosses is definitely killing him and the team. Outside of the slow buildups its something we have to alter because too much of our play is concentrated in the middle. We look hesitant to even cross hence hitting the first man so often.


He scored one with his head last season but he is a massive presence in the air. We start crossing when he goes to the bench theaux :why:

yeah right :pachaha:

You know Roman's son got his eyes on some over the hill defender. :lolbron:

Nah seriously breh, Chelsea are trying to beat FFP by loading up on talented yoof. Money spent on the academy, infrastructure etc doesn't count towards FFP. Look how many players are out on loan this season, there's at least 23+ with only a few of them senior players. Club just signed another 17 year old kid from Chile this week for about 2m.

It's facking ricidulous how many good young players are at the club right now. Some massive decisions need to be made in the next 12-18 months and it's already happening with Lampard all but gone and Courtois talking about Cech being a goner in two years.

Injured for the past month, not sure what is wrong with him tho.


The under 18 only played 4 games in the elite group so its still long way too go. The u21's tho :scusthov:

*edit*

:ooh: you left off the 5-0 scoreline

That was the second string. All the kids who beat Barca in Spain midweek were rested. :mjpls:

Would've been a different story otherwise :barack:

:pachaha: I noticed that in a game recently. Giroud on the pitch every cross was like hip high and below, Giroud goes off and all the crosses start comin a over shoulder height :what: :laff:

The side most def needs a injection of pace in the build up, the way Bayern played on Tue is how Arsenal should be playin, but wheres Bayern had 4/5 players attackin/in and around the box, Arsenal only ever have 2.

The 2nd string have no pride. How they gunna let theyre local rivals rape you like that. And dont give me that 2nd string nonsense. I remember when Chelsea fans were living off beating Arsenals 2/3rd string 5-0 in the Worthingham cup a few years back
