I think Fabregas might play until half time. Hope Ramires to start too for match fitness reason. Costa will be rested once again for Stoke, which is good thing.

From yesterday match, what I'm really realized, is that I thought Costa not a 'deadlock breaker' striker. He is more like 'needs to be served' striker. What I mean is that he is struggled to solely create chances to score, he is no Messi or Ronaldo. But if you give him the ball on the right time, he surely would finish it without problem. He is more like a clinical finisher. If we want to see him perform, he needs other players to perform as well. That's why we always see Fabregas or Hazard shone when Costa scored. But it is exactly what we needs, so I don't see any problem with it.

it's a crime no one posted in this thread after he scored, lol

Hope Palace and WBA could miraculously take some points from City. No way Burnley and Sunderland could hold City. West ham, Spurs and Soton should be no problem, they are not as good as their League positions. Stoke next is a tricky one, but I thought they are not in a 'good form' at the moment.

Our next PL fixtures : away to Stoke home vs West Ham away to Soton away to Spurs let's smash all those c**** and guess who is our opponent after that? Newcastle

no, not that again

again I'm saying this, if Cahill need to be dropped in our next PL match, I'm expecting him to play in this match. If he is not playing in this match, I expected him to start again next week...

Glad it was from Mirror and not Sky Nigeria

Take Matic and Fabregas out from our team, and we're back to our old form

I'm crying for a backup as good as Fabregas if he is unavailable for selection. And somebody please learned how to take a decent set pieces from him.

Jose make good points, I want PSG.

I like Willian workrate, but he is losing almost every single ball passed to him in one match really annoyed me. At least if he want to do the 'dive' please bump your body to the opponent to make it more realistic. If his name is Schurrle or Salah, he will be benched since months ago.

‘We made an agreement: he didn’t play against Sporting, I gave him four days’ holiday, he went somewhere with nice weather, where he could take his shirt off and get some sun. He told me he would come back fresh and you could see the happiness in his legs.’ happiness in his legs

Only three players playing well yesterday imo. Matic a little bit sloopy in some moments. Oscar gone missing after giving assist. Even Cech too unfortunately... he looks nervous or something.

Hazard When will the contract extension take place again?

I love Cahill, but after witnessing yesterday game, I agree he should be replaced by Ivan or Zouma. Just to send the right message, if you're playing not good, your place is not secure anymore. Jose did that to Schurrle, I don“t see a reason why he couldn't do it to Cahill.

Same old stories. When opponents see the royal blue shirts.

F*** off Pardew and Newcastle #SackPardew

how I suppose to help? you guys seems still don't have any clear solution for that 'problem' yet.

at least, in my opinion, it is 'more understandable' to talk about it in English Football thread. In Chelsea match thread it is completely unrelated

please, no Lampard talks in Chelsea match threads....

No Fabregas, we're really struggling, not to mention in set pieces. We need Fabregas backup with almost the same quality as him. Post CL match cursed still on, gladly Hazard shine at the perfect time. Other players mistakes are forgiven as we won and have a clean sheet. Looking forward for next match. Oh, and f*** off Foy

f*** off foy, c***

lol soton down

damn, luckily foy not eat the bait
