Re: Steven Defour
First away game last season, Chelsea 2 v 3 Burnley, second away game Spurs 1 v 1 Burnley. Steven Defour played a big part in those 4 points. Tom Heaton was injured in Sept. If Steven Defour is fit, the question is can we keep up with him. History will tell, of course. ;) Yes he did play a big part ...

Just opinions .. I like Steven Defour but the question is can we carry him ? I'm not so sure.

Go back 2 seasons and look at the style of play and confidence we had with him on the pitch. The whole team was better with him on the pitch. The best footballer we have had in 50 years , if you can't recognise that maybe you should ask your guide dog. I asked my guide dog he said Trevor Steven and...
