probably did but says more that that one player is needed to beat Norwich at home. And he clearly wasn't fit as the Atletico game showed (he couldn't run flat out when he hadn't the ball) I've no problem with the Hazard situation. His performances didn't warrant him getting YPOTY ahead of Sturridge or Sterling for me. He's had one good game in 5 since Xmas. And he went to sleep on both goals against Atletico before spouting about the football. That said, I do sympathise with him in that too often the reliance has been on him to create. He's a fantastic talent who's improved no end this season in terms of all around game but can get a bit carried away with himself at times (Belguim dropped him before for going out an buying a burger outside the ground after being subbed!!)
Generally, the Norwich performance was a disgrace all around from Manager to players. Roll on next season....

we'll soon see won't we. If Palace beat the dippers and Villa get something on Wed then you might be right which, after a quarter of a million posts, it was bound to happen sometime...

He didn't start the game nothavinit. So I'll rephrase it he wasn't selected by the Chelsea manager. Personally think he was the player to break down what was a "park the bus" defensive Norwich display.
Well, I tell them there's no problem Only solutions
Used to have a lot of respect for Jose but just lately blaming everybody from the team dr to the tea lady for bad results,yes they won today but Costa should have been sent off yet Jose defends him saying he was man of the match utter bollocks I'm afraid

This!
He can give it but can't take it, Mourinho saying Costa gave a man of the match performance, says everything about the pair of 'em.
Such rotters .. Fancy supporting a team with people like that at it .. I'd rather follow a team that has players that turn their back on the national anthem of our queen and country, or say kill by dangerous driving or even go on strike saying they'll never player for club again , cause such a stink ... Then low and behold back in the team .. That's who I'd rather follow !

Theres no doubt he's got ability Steve and can change games, lets face it you wouldn't have bought him if he was ordinary, he just seems to be getting worse and come across as a complete dick on the pitch these days. I'm sure teams try and wind him up to get the reactions but he just seems to be missing a few screws imo. I wouldn't be surprised to see him pull a Cantona drop kick moment.
As you say theres been plenty of characters in the game although I do think Costa takes things to a different level at times, I don't watch Chelsea a great deal but theres been a few games where he looks like he'd rather have a punch up that score a goal , I used to love watching Julian Dicks , mainly because he would wear his heart on his sleeve but I'm sure many though he was a nut job at times.

Whist at Chelsea you have incidents of taking a bung to show an under cover reporter around the ground, shagging a team mates Mrs and racism, that's just one player. Arse 'ole shooting a kid with an air rifle, but in his defense, he didn't know it was loaded Then there was a couple of druggies who were fucked off, Mutu and Bosnich, you may not remember the last two as they played before you started following your chosen club.
