Barcelona 'B' got relegated from the segunda division in 2014/15
Hazard is one of many example of players attribute changing over the course of a season. If you want to exclude players who has done well in the past, you can look at the recent form of Vardy, Mahrez, Casemiro and few other. If managed properly, a player attributes can have a positive change. Traore has the tools in his locker to improve his service and make himself a better player. A basic taught pattern to what he has to do is release the ball quicker and draw players towards him. Aspect that is not unknown to his game.
Traore if he can improve his service will be a much better squad option to have than a lot of our attacking player who struggles to get past one player. A player who is consistently capable of getting past a player is an potent threat to have coming of the bench. I bet you are the type of person who would overlook Kante because you taught that having one of the best tackling stat in the French league meant nothing.
What I see is his past performances and not this one game that he had an off day. If you take up this holistic approach in analyzing, then you would be able to analyze a player potency more efficiently.
Where are his maracas?
Deafening chants to Antonio now. Stamford Bridge is almost literally shaking. He's acknowledging it and clapping for himself as well 
Well done Chelsea. Well done conte.

Hahaha, Roman got a laugh out of that Matic shot at least. 
Abramovich
Is Conte going to do the double in his first season ala Carlo in 2010?
Standing in his path is the manager who's won the most F.A. cups ever, Arsene Wenger.

Boro are officially relegated. Very shit season in their first year in the Premier League since 2009.
Boro came to PL, they didn't like, of to Championship again.
I am kinda happy the dullest teams are being relegated. Sunderland and Boro have been shocking, and provided zero value to the league. Hull haven't been much better. Look at Bournemouth, they're a perfect example of how you should go about things if you want to stay in this league.
Me too. Atleast Newcastle and Brighton who'll be coming into the league play decent attacking football.
Nice to see Carlo in the stands as well. His team broke the PL scoring record that year. It's why I'm a bit worried for Conte. The management wanted stability after Mourinho, and once they have it they'll be searching for what Roman has wanted for a while - dominant attacking football. If this team play the same very good, solid, pragmatic football and don't win anything then Conte could just as easily be shown the door.
I tipped them for relegation way back early in the season when they were mid-table and were priced at 3.50, I thought in my mind surely that's one of the easiest outright bet. They can't score to save their lives and their fixtures run-in towards the end of the season is just brutal. It goes to show that scoring goals is so important, even for relegation teams. During SAF last season, we were leaking goals left and right but the ridiculous number of goals we keep outscoring our opponents propel us to the the title. Attack > Defence
Anyway, congrats to our resident Chelsea fans. 3 more points from the title. From 1st to 10th and back to 1st again. I can never truly understand what actually happened last season with Mourinho. These are almost the exact same bunch of players from last season.
We've got a decent chance of beating Spurs now. Seems a likely story that Jose will seal the title for Chelsea.
We'll win it on Friday night at West Brom.
We've played some pragmatic football but we've also played some very pretty football this season. I doubt Roman would be disappointed with it.
None of us can. I guess we'll find out in 10 years or so, when the autobiographies come out.
The problem was that after winning the tittles (with both Carlo and Mourinho) we almost just kept the same squads for next seasons and didn't make any real reinforcement in the summer market. The players then, as they had won the league, showed little motivation to move forward. Barca and Real, on the other hand, whether they have a successful season or not, they keep invest in the summer to get fresh blood in their squad.
We need some new players this summer, despite of the current squad is very good. Conte is rightly going to do so.
Barca 'B' 2014/15. Not a great record for the young lad.
You guys will draw at the Hawthorns and then we'll draw against Spurs, handing you guys the trophy.
Great gesture from Conte.Applauded the Boro fans at the end.Classy!
Southampton vs Arsenal tonight, and despite recent games, I actually think Southampton will take 2 or 3 points away from Arsenal here. They've got plenty of energy left after playing a lethargic LFC team, while Arsenal played a more demanding game vs you lot. They're also playing at home, so will be more tempted to, y'know, move forward with the ball
How do you folks see it going down?

Yeah I was surprised they rested Redmond. Must have had Arsenal in mind. 
Hope they give as much damn against them as they did us. Ozil seems to have woken up and Ox is still a handful. When is the cup final?

. We haven't a great record against them away.I'll be shocked if Arsenal get six points from the next two. I think they have more chance of winning tonight than they do at Stoke personally.Southampton vs Arsenal tonight, and despite recent games, I actually think Southampton will take 2 or 3 points away from Arsenal here.

Arsenal will win with a deflection , 1-0.
Wouldn't complain
I would though. You beat United. That's all we needed from you. Please stop now.Wouldn't complain
The best is yet to come Arsenal sneaking into top 4, knocking Liverpool into Europa while we win Europa and get CL. Can you imagine.
In a months time, no need to imagine
Best scenario, but Arsenal will mess it up somewhere along the line.
Torn between wanting Arsenal to not finish top 4, which is what they deserve for this season where for the most part they've been horrible but had tons of luck, and wanting them to finish in the top 4 and get a couple more seasons of Wenger.
Another advantage of Arsenal getting into top 4 is that one of Liverpool and City will be out. Would be fun to see Pep playing in the Europa League.
Forgot Arsenal is playing today. That means we'll be back to our customary 6th place
Tell that to Brendans Liverpool when they had Sterling, Sturridge and Suarez.
Theo Walcott is one of the most depressing football stories. Given his talent, why is he so inconsistent? Is it Wenger's fault for not developing him properly?
Is Lucas Perez fit?
I was about to ask that. I've not seen him play in ages but he was good whenever he did get a game.
