Nah, the kid was wrong. The fact that Hazard reacted is only "wrong" when put through the magnifying glass of the media and the "expectations" every one has of sportsmen and other public figures. Fuck that, if anyone annoyed any other person of any other profession like that, they'd react too. Maybe not with a kick, but guess what, Hazard's a 21 year old football player, he kicks. If the kid doesn't want to get kicked, then he shouldn't act like a little ****.

Hazard didn't even touch him, he got the ball.
It was in the heat of the moment. Hazard clearly lacked judgement, but I feel like kicking that kid's ass and I'm not even a Chelsea fan. The kid was being a prick and that's what happens. What's worse is that people seem to be celebrating it as if it was such a noble thing to do.
Best 3 words to sum it up. I understand the frustration that this can cause but Hazard, as a professional should have kept his cool. Both deserve punishment.

Ball boys giving the home side an advantage by not doing their job properly, whether or not they are instructed to by the club, should be COMPLETELY OUTLAWED.

In other news, sadly it is looking like ShiftyPowers was completely right about Marin, what a waste of time and money he could turn out to be
Yeah, so far he's beeb poir. Then again, he was a sagety purchase and didn't cost much. If wr loan him out and he gets going we could still make a profit or use him. He's the best dribbler at the club.
We're not buying anyone new this Jan, Rafa says. We need a backup forward and an MC but it seems that the management is going to content themselves with 3rd place and regroup next season.

This is just outrageous. How the hell can we blow a 2 goal lead against Reading in the last five minutes!? Honestly, I think this period of time is the most frustrated I have EVER been as a chelsea fan.

It's getting beyond silly now. Something is deeply, fundamentally wrong.

Your team needs some balance IMO. You've got 3 AMAZING attacking midfielders but you're deeply lacking in other positions. You lack a quality striker obviously. Ba is an improvement but not quite the answer. You badly need a strong defensive midfielder and a centre back to pair with Terry. Gary Cahill is not good enough and Luiz can be a liability at times.
EDIT: Also, if you're gonna play 4-5-1 or 4-2-3-1, you need proper wingers, not attacking midfielders playing on the wings. Your only natural winger is Victor Moses.

He was also supposed to stop us leaking goals and sure up the defense and he's doing just a bang up job
He was supposed to be a lot of things, but so far our worst performances have come under him (CWC, QPR, Soton, Reading, Brentford, Swansea...) and his solution (Ramires, Moses, Bertrand on one wing) was already devised by Di Matteo. I can't wait for him to leave. For fuck's sake, switch to a 4-3-3 already, even if Mata will be less effective. Mata has something like 34 goals between goals and assists this season btw, amazing.
Rafa said we won't sign anyone but then we tried to sign Butland (who said no due to playing time), so who knows what we'll do today. My bet is nothing.

I think the formation is fine, but you just need to play Ramires on the right wing. Bertrand is a fucking joke and I couldn't believe that another manager was going down that road. I guess the Mikel injury makes it tough though, but that's what the transfer window is for, you need to replace Lampard long term anyway.
Ramires has improved in the middle, but he should be on the wing, yeah. Without MC depth, that's out opf the question though. Bertrand is fine at LW, we're yet to lose a game with him there, although he doesn't offer much. Moses is the key player, and since Bertrand and Ramires' positional future seem to lie elsewhere, we should be looking at getting another winger like that. This summer we have a lot of players' contracts running out: Lampard, Turnbull, Hilario, Ferreira, Benayoun, Malouda, so I expect some signings or players being brought up to compensate. Don't think we have a classic winger like that in the club right now, so unless someone adapts their game or we buy another LB/DM and move Bertrand or Ramires to the wing, it's just Moses, although that's not that terrible.
The formation is fine when everyone is fit and when we can play this:
Ba
Hazard - Mata - Moses
Lampard - Mikel
Cole - Terry - Luiz - Azpi
Cech
The backline is functional with Bertrand, Cahill and Ivanovic as well, with the latter prbably a starter over someone up there anyway. But in midfield things go to shit. Mikel is the only player truly suited to a double-pivot, and he has spent most of his career as a lone holder anyway. The others can play there and do a good job, but it's not where they plat best. The attacking band only works when we select 2 out of 3 creative players and play them with a defensive winger, the best option right now being Moses.
When those starters aren't fit, we start playing people out of position in ways that don't function. We should be playing a 4-3-3, like this:
Ba
Mata - Hazard
Oscar - Ramires
Mikel
Cole - Terry - Luiz - Ivanovic
Cech
Romeu and Mikel would do well as holders, Lamps, Ramires and Oscar would all play better there than in a double-pivot and we could keep our 3 creators in the squad. We could rotate Lamps in to keep him fresh and still juggle Oscar and Moses on the wings on occasion. Mata would shine less, Torres will suck harder, but it's the best thing for the team right now. Considering that we're cutting our losses and hoping for 3rd, we need to adapt, and the 4-2-3-1, when we're missing so many players, isn't working.
