It brings up a few problems within the team that could be ironed out in the window. - Bring in a left WB or maybe recall Ake? Alonso had an off-night tonight but I feel we need to invest in that side of the pitch if we are going to continue with Wing backs long term. - Kante and Matic against bigger clubs isn't the thing to do, it reeks of Jose. Fabregas was needed tonight with his creativity. Maybe we can adopt a 3-5-2 formation for games such as these? Matic and Kante holding with Fabregas just ahead, no need for a second striker you could easily play Hazard just off of Costa. - Bring in another CB. I think we've been fortunate not to concede many goals with the defence we have, they've overachieved. I worry we'll get priced out for Van Diijk, but maybe there's an alternative out there. Im not too worried, I saw this coming a mile off. Onto the next game.

After this game, Martin Tyler and Alan Smith will go and wank off about Alli.

I hope to God that Alonso still has a knock because he isn't up for this at all tonight, really poor performance from him.

SAME FUCKING GOAL TWICE!!!!!!

Thought so, I agree, we need some creativity in the middle.

That would give us one extra player....not sure that's allowed mate. Good idea though.

Okay notes: - I think Martin Tyler must have jizzed when they scored, he is an embarassment of a commentator, Champions League final aside he seems so full of wishes that we lose. Prick. - Alonso not good enough today. We NEED to sign a left WB in this window. Or maybe give Kenedy a go? - Poor from our team as a whole. We are showing them far too much respect, it's almost like Mourinho's Chelsea here. - Pedro has been awful, and seeing as he's been booked I'd be tempted to bring Cesc on, bit of creativity that we are crying out for. - So much space to cause trouble in in the Spurs half but we aren't doing enough. Hazard and Costa are just drifting through the game right now. Big second half. Sort them out Antonio!!

Really poor first half from us here, showing too much respect.

Alonso's position needs to be upgraded on, he can be solid enough but we need better.

How a Spurs player hasn't been booked yet is beyond me.

Terrible late tackle there by Spurs. Sky commentators are DYING for us to slip up here, so biased.

REALLY not confident about this one. Mind you I wasn't confident about the Man Utd, Spurs home game or the Man City away win so what the hell do my feelings know?!

#Chelsea will lodge an initial offer of £34million for Arturo Vidal, but Bayern are likely to reject that and hold out for £40million. [Sun] Antonio Conte can be confident of luring Arturo Vidal to Stamford Bridge if a deal can be reached with the German giants. [Sun]

Chelsea have submitted an offer of €25m for Atalanta midfielder Franck Kessie (France Football) #CFC #Juventus #THFC #Juventus, #AFC and #THFC have also been linked with a move for Franck Kessie. #MUFC's Mourinho also phoned him in November (Dailystar) #CFC Any thoughts? Never heard of him.

Chelsea are also interested in Sevilla ace Steven N’Zonzi, with the Frenchman keen on a Premier League return. (Times) #CFC #SevillaFC

Conte on if he would allow Batshuayi to leave on loan: "No. He's a new player & to go on loan now is a defeat for the club and for me" #CFC

Michy Batshuayi ‏@mbatshuayi 14m thank you all for your continuous support and messages #chinUp #keepStrong #topoftheleague

What was the point of buying Michy then? I bloody hate false 9.

He's a has-been football manager, who's been found out and is trying to taint everyone else's success. Seriously wondering how I liked this prick. I guess he's like the Robbie Savage of football managers, when he's on your team pissing outward it's okay. Also he still lives in a hotel, I wonder if he's dismantled his trouser press out of boredom yet?

The main source of my frustration player-wise is gone.....looks like I have to pick a new victim. All jokes aside, thanks for the goals especially the one against Juve, that was spectacular and made me jump out of my seat. 60million for him is hilarious. I hope he enjoys his money, I'm sure he'll be back in Europe within a year or two. Invest wisely Chelsea! Use this as a learning experience.

Charlie Skillen ‏@charlieskillen 2h2 hours ago Lots asking about James Rodriguez - Chelsea are his No 1 choice, he's been offered to PL clubs. But not sure real interest from CFC is there

FABREGASSSSSSSSSSS!!

WORRY FOR LUIZ? David Luiz is being attended to by the Chelsea physio team after going through his warm-up - and he's got some serious strapping around his right knee and thigh. It will be one to watch when the game kicks off. Chelsea have Branislav Ivanovic and Kurt Zouma on the bench.

ZOUMA ON BENCH! Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaah!

Chelsea team tonight: Courtois; Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Cahill (c); Moses, Kante, Fabregas, Alonso; Willian, Diego Costa, Pedro. #SUNCHE
