I absolutely agree he should be punished (I love man but rules are rules) and he did both stamps on purpose. On Can, he could easily avoid his leg, while with Skrtel, he might not be able to miss it, but you can see when he is in air, he presses with his leg towards Skrtel to make more ''impact''.
That said, rules should be for EVERYONE. Take a look at this picture

You can add Yaya when he slapped Mata too.
Mangala and Aguero should be definately punished. Im absolutely shocked that so called ''professional english football association'' aka FA takes these situations differently and reacts in the way we always get punished, but opponents not.
I wont go into judging because it could be mistake by ref, they are humans after all, but when officials take a look on these replays after games and see these challenges, players should be punished. Not just Diego Costa because FA hates us.
FUCK OFF FA piece of shit organisation.
I know the club cant make it, but I hope if we win the title, there will be banner from fans and on it written something like ''FA, better luck next time'' with extended middle finger arm picture.

If we wouldn't have a Lukaku, we would be cyring to get him! Now that we have him, we are discussing whether we should drop him ...Makes no sense at all to me?
The kid is doing amazingly good for his 20 years old. He is far from a finished product, but he has a lot of potential. How many 20 year old strikers like him are running around? Can you image the sort of beast he might be in 5-6 years if he would be able to keep improving his skills and goal ratio? Is he ready to lead to Chelsea line next year? In my opinion, no ...
Nevertheless he is Chelsea property and we should be more than proud that he is!
If Mourinho would decide to sell him to raise more transfer funds, then so be it.

There'a a lot of debate about Luiz playing in a midfield role (i almost quoted a few of them from a couple of pages back) mostly saying he looks like a CB playing as DM, not natural and not especially well.
I'm calling bullshit on all that right here and now, last nights performance with Matic was immense, he was winning possession high up the pitch and making the most of his range of passing which is has to be said, is bloody impressive.
"Manuel Pellegrini's men have been mighty on home soil, with 29 goals in the course of seven straight English Premier League wins – an average of 4.14 goals per home fixture"
Look at that, i mean just bloody look at it, an average of 4.14 goals per home fixture how impressive is it that for the first time in a long time we truly bossed that midfield for the vast majority of the game and there's no doubt at all in my mind that was down to the Matic/Luiz pivot, they compliment each other perfectly. You'd think that a holding midfielder and a natural center back would be a very compact, defensive unit, a solid platform.
But that's not what we got, we got a fast paced, high pressing, ball winning midfield duo who were always looking to move the ball into the attacking third as fast as possible. On a couple of occasions i can remember Luiz actually winning the ball back in the opposition half and charging forward, Luiz is a bit of a wildcard we all know that and its one of the reasons we love him but also one of the reasons we end up with our head in our hands occasionally but with Matic to anchor the whole thing (and he did very very well) Luiz is free to join in the attacking when called upon.
I think that game showed us that Luiz can undoubtedly play in midfield, i mean he put in an incredible performance against one of the highest scoring teams on the planet right now, AWAY FROM HOME, all the defense deserve credit, no question asked, but that team we put together looked like a unit capable of beating anyone and Luiz stepped up and peformed
TLDR; David Luiz can (and should) play as a defensive midfielder and you're damn right i'm looking forward to seeing him and Matic annihilate midfields for the rest of the season and beyond

Fuck you assholes!

Yea, I'm sure Diego Lopez is the first name that comes to mind when talking about world class keepers.
Ridiculous that he's getting compared to De Gea as well; just because they both played for Atletico. De Gea isn't fit to polish Courtois' boots.

He always works his socks off. When Everton beat United at OT he worked his socks off running back and forward while ripping Vidic and his other partner to shreds. Another conclusion you seem to keep jumping to. Same way you said this stuff about Aguero scoring more than him at his age... bla bla bla... you were tested on it and you could not reply because you know your statement was pure rubbish. Most importantly he gets goals and you said "he could improve". Of course he is going to improve. He is 20 and one of the highest scorers in the prem despite missing a few games for Everton at the start.
And oh yeah, while it is good for strikers to work hard, I would much rather have a striker known for scoring goals!

True. I get that a club icon like Lampard deserves some respect, but the difference in treatment is becoming a tad ridiculous now. KDB had one poor performance against United and never even made it into the selection anymore. Frankie is playing poorly match after match now and is still the first on Mou's sheet.
On the other hand, there comes a time you need to stick with a certain plan, if Lampard is part of that, you need to stick by it until it goes horribly wrong, that hasn't really happened yet.

I'm a KDB fan and I actually believe he might suprise some people as he hasn't shown enough of what he is capable off. Nevertheless, I'm seriously dissappointed with how he has been playing so far at Chelsea. Not that he has been playing bad, but he's been average at best. It sometimes infuriates me as he the chances he has to prove himself are limited, but then again he probably also needs time to adjust.
The sad thruth is he needs to step up or he'll have to step out eventually. Hopefully he can prove he is worth his place in this team because it would sure make me one proud blue

We also needed the win.
I think that's where some of the confusion comes in. Mourinho makes decisions to benefit Chelsea, not De Bruyne or Belgium. If Mourinho thinks that the way De Bruyne puts out the cones in the morning is worth an extra point to us over the course of the season then I'd quite happily support his decision to keep him and not play him.
Personally I think he'll eventually get a chance and become a good player for us, but there's no rush at this point in time when we're winning games and doing well.

That just isn't an option now, he can walk into Barcelona's team next year if he wants so that rules out the PL loan.
If he was owned by Athletico their would be a potential goalkeeping record breaking auction for him this summer, imagine if we were competing with the top clubs in Europe for his signature and we told him we were going to loan him out to the PL to adapt?
Next year is decision time, we have to play him or sell him.

Yep .... He is having a good game. But damn ... We could use Witsel!

Thibaut has been living for 3 years in spain and he is speaking Spanish. His girlfriend is Spanish and she and her family are living over there.
Let's be honest, it might be very interesting for Thibaut to stay at Spain ... And it's not like we are talking about QPR chasing Thibaut ...

I'm belgian and I'm a huge fan of KDB, but even I am getting frustrated with some of the Belgian fanboys over here.
Let's be honest, Kevin has not been performing well enough, except for the Hull game. He needs to step up his game and it seems more then normal that Mourinho is trying to make that clear to Kevin. The words in the media might have been a bit harsh to be honest, but guess that's Mou style. I hope Kevin has the right attitude to pick it up and prove Mourinho wrong. Hopefully he will also be given future opportunities to prove he does deserve a place on the first team.
To some people I would like to mention though that KDB wasn't chosen as the youth player of the year in the Bundlesliga last season just for giggles. There is a reason why he is rated quite highly in Germany. And yes, for Chelsea he has been underperforming so far, so I can't say I disagree with Mourinho.
However I do think if KDB is not able to prove Mourinho wrong by January, that he should be able to be send out on a loan.

#LukakuFacts
"Lukaku has a grizzly bear carpet in his room, the bear isn't dead, it's too scared to move."
"Ghosts sit around the camp fire and tell Romelu Lukaku stories."
"When you get 5 stars on GTA, the swat team don't come for you, Lukaku does."
"Romelu doesn't eat honey, he chews bees"

Not sure if posted already, but here's a funny bit from Carragher:
http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/29327/8950707/jamie-carragher-says-romelu-lukaku-can-fire-everton-into-top-four
I was expecting the same power, no not the speed but just the power, from Ba.

Expecting so much more of De Bruyne. Performance against Swindon was flat.
Compared to the things he has shown previous season at Bremen, this is not even worth discussing about.
Come on, KDB, don't let Mou and the pressure get to you. Do your thing! I believe in you!

You do realise he scored in every pre-season game (iirc) and didn't get a chance to prove himself in the Prem for Chelsea? That IS fighting for your spot, and to be fair, he won the fight vs Torres and Ba by a large margin.
The fact that the whole of England is laughing at us for loaning out our best striker should ring a bell as well.
As far as the Bayern game is concerned, he was brought on when we didn't have a single attacking player left in the team. Our strikers barely touch a ball in our normal formation let alone when we park the bus and sub every attacking threat we have.

I'm actually really happy for Romelu, I believe Everton will be a superb chance for him. He will get a lot of playing time, has a coach who believes in him and I believe it might help him grow.
He didn't get a proper chance at Chelsea and competing with 3 other strikes, of which Torres and Eto'o are in front of him in the pecking order ... Let's face it, it was the best option available to him.
He played a great game for Everton, let's hope he can continue to show more of this. Even though he plays at Everton, it makes me a proud blue!
