Eden is worth every penny/pound of that 200k+ a week contract. He's clearly the best player in the league and should win the PFA Player of the Year.

Definitely is! He has been the most consistent player in the league by far and produces game changing moments like all top players do.

I think Remy could have scored two more if he stayed on.

Re: ***The Official Chelsea FC Thread***

I think Alexis is just as good and makes the same impact in matches as Hazard. I also don't think Hazard is the best/most important player on your team right now. Courtois is.

Obviously Hazard is world class, not saying he isn't. I just don't think he's the runaway winner of player of the year. Not like Suarez was last year.

Re: ***The Official Chelsea FC Thread***

Have to disagree, even Alexis can't match Hazard's consistency. Hazard plays every minute of every game and always our most dangerous player. He pretty much never has a bad game. Alexis is a goalscorer, which makes his talents more measurable.

Alexis a good player and will most likely finish 2nd in the voting but he's not as good as Eden. I know Cesc & Costa took a lot of the headlines this year, especially early on and rightfully so, BUT Eden is and has been our offense for the last 2+ years. He's the reason why they get so much space. Our offense bogs down a lot and it's pretty much up to Eden to get it revved back up. He's unplayable and makes you account for him at all times. It's backed up by his stats too, 1st in rating, fouled per game & dribbles per match (1 better than 2nd place Ox), 2nd in key passes, and very solid passing stats. The only thing he needs to improve on offensively is his goals.

As good as Thibaut is we'd still be up near the top with Cech as our keeper.

Have to agree with Brahvocado and KG on this. Alexis is a good player no doubt but he has been no way as consistent as Eden. He makes an impact in every game and is a handful to deal with as shown by being No.1 in most fouled player. Alexis main asset is probably his goals but Hazard is only 2 behind in the premier league. Alexis 14 and Eden 12. He's also just behind on assists Alexis 8 and Eden 7. He's also started all our games and hasn't come off before the 90th minute since October. Ok one more stat, all his 12 goals have come in 12 different games!

Re: ***The Official Chelsea FC Thread***

That was tough but 3 pts for us at Loftus is rare. It was brutal watching us heave balls fwd to Drogba for 85mins but the usual suspects came up huge.

JT had Zamora in his pocket. Eden provided the moment of creativity and Thibaut made some big stops. 9pts from the next 3 gets us the title but I expect us to lose at Arsenal and draw with United.

Re: ***The Official Chelsea FC Thread***

If anything we'd lose to United not Arsenal. I expect a full bus park at the Emirates, Jose will make sure not to lose to Arsene.

Vs United I think we will be careful but could get a result as long as we are fired up enough. We are still the best team in the league when everybody is in good form, if we can find it for the next couple games that would be great, I'd love to remind some of these overzealous Arsenal and United fans how scary we are.

3 points from Loftus Road was actually more than I was expecting, let's close out these next two games.

Yeah, come to think of it, Jose has never lost to Wenger, right?

Re: ***The Official Chelsea FC Thread***

I would love nothing more than to wrap this thing up early and give some of the youngsters a run out vs quality competition most likely fighting for position.

Take down Arsenal and it will happen. And I'm all for it.

Also, Bamfordinho won the Championship POY. Looking forward to seeing him in the BPL nest year, either with us or out on loan to Borough if they get promoted.

Re: ***The Official Chelsea FC Thread***

Jose has been talking up RLC a ton this season, I really hope he's planning on putting his money where his mouth is
