The John Terry Appreciation Thread

I have beard slide, that condition where 90% of your beard grows on your neck rather than your face. Does anyone else suffer from this?
I literally have identical facial hair growth to Hazard, thats the closest representation I've seen on another human to my facial hair,  if it was thicker I'd go duck dynasty..in other news Football tomorrow, male grooming discussions will take a back seat  :biggrin:  I hope JT starts, we need a leader on the pitch more than ever at the moment. 

 
Terry will bounce back today,i expect a big performance from him and i hope he starts with Zouma.

 
So I can't be the only one who thinks he's been really poor so far this season. For years now he's radiated confidence which seeps into the rest of the team but tbh its almost like JT has shrunk over the summer. Whilst each member of the defence has been individually poor, its his job as captain to organise them and somehow overnight that ability has seemingly disappeared.  :sad:

 
There is no doubt in my view that he is in the worst run of form of his Chelsea career. Is it a permanent decline or a prolonged blip? Nothing lasts forever and if we had managed to get John Stones there would be questions about JT making the starting line up on current form.

I'd actually go with cahill and Zouma. The defence is all over the shop, and maybe if the team isn't set up to nullify our own weaknesses as much, then we can start putting teams under pressure.

I'd like to see

With Terry out of the team, in theory we wouldn't need to play such a deep line which is often what causes the gaps in between Matic and the defence.

 
^ Agree he is part of the problem. We have too sit too deep which prevents the 2 in the middle from linking up with the 3 further up the park. Azpi has too sit deep & play on his wrong foot to protect him, and we also have the Ivanovic issue on the right.

For me it either JT or Ivanovic in the starting 11 going forward, the only problem with that is Jose's insistence on playing three 6fters in defence.

 
JT is in the team at present on his leadership abilities. His form has been poor as has Ivan's. Suddenly if you were to take these two out of the firing line we'd be totally bereft of leaders on the pitch. When you couple this with the loss of Cech and Drogba the backbones of the dressing room resembles a jellyfish.

 
You've highlighted something there. This is about who's not on the pitch, past but possibly also present, as much as who is.

JT isn't really making any errors himself but those around him are and they're playing extremely poorly that it's dragged him down with them. 

We had two holding midfielders against Everton and yet Everton were given time and space in the midfield and able to get countless shots away from outside the area too. 

 
i shave my bo**ocks...there i said it! :dwarf:
Tried it once. The sting for hours later was unbearable. I either have sensitive skin or I'm just feeble.

My hair grows a lot quicker on my chin than anywhere else. It's rather annoying.

Are we now starting to see with JT what we saw happen to Adams, Bould and the like before him? Restricted more to the supporting role, time shared between the bench and the starting 11.

Or does he force his way back in week in and week out soon?
Well some older players can take time to get into the season so hopefully he will be ready soon
