interesting. even more interesting would be interviewing a number of people with autism who play team sports and compiling accounts of those interviews into a documentary.

Ask who is better when they're both around 28-29 years old. Kevin will probably never do as much on a dribble, but Kevin has more velocity and whip on his balls, plus a much better strike. Six or seven months from now will be a good time to discuss Mourinho.

I typically don't want to watch any of the teams in the EPL now. Tottenham have a pretty damn good manager IMO and so do Soton. Crystal Palace can be fun to watch and this weekend I recorded the Aston Villa match because I suspected they would pick up their form. But, the league is boring right now. I don't care to watch most of the clubs, nor many of the matches. The gameplay has become more negative with the exception of the attacking from sides like ManCity and Liverpool (who were always enjoyable to watch through the years if someone were a fan IMO. Above all of this, I think, is the generation and era of football we are seeing: improved defending, an emphasis on defending, better defenders while the talented players can spend too much time on the ball instead of moving it quickly through passing. Also, I don't rate this generation of footballers nearly as highly as the previous two generations AND, there either aren't many strong centre forwards, or every one of them is getting dominated by defenders (or falling off of bar stools like Andy Carroll?). I find myself less interested in football now more than ever, but I will watch Villareal, Valencia, Sevilla sometimes with a little bit of excitement. I just don't feel it much anymore. and the English League's management and player combinations along with the league play itself is making for an awfully boring mix of matches week after week. Credit to Arsenal for scoring three goals yesterday. I just wonder why the hell they ever bought Oezil. such a turd.

I think more will need to be shaken up next season. just a hunch.

If you never try to play quick, you probably never learn to play quick. If Chelsea are too slow the rest of the season, then Chelsea can lose the title. For me, I can't see the next Mourinho contract being signed until next season. If we are supposed to overlook the quality of play this season and everything rests on the title, then next season is surely time for experimentation in faster conuterattacks and build-up play. If it never comes, I think Jose is gone again. Simples.

He's another one who hasn't adapted to colder+damp weather --maybe. We'll see in the coming season(s). Hasn't seemed to be in the right spot for counterattacks on numerous occasions during the colder months and continues to win very little in the air. Just not good enough from him for a while now. Chelsea should have been using another striker and/or lineup recently IMO. Next season will be more interesting with Costa's 2nd Chelsea year and maybe Oscar leaving, maybe another striker coming in.

maybe the constraints come off at Chelsea next season and our side will be free to develop more. this is what I've been hoping for since Mourinho returned; just waiting to get the trophy/trophies out of the way, fulfill someone's or some peoples' expectations and MOVE ON afterward. I have to wonder whether Oscar leaving and someone like Salah or another player coming into central attacking role will be an improvement or if Chelsea just need to generally loosen-up, play with more speed and having a Plan B formation will do the trick. I'm itching to see RLC on the pitch too. Lastly, I like seeing Juve get beaten and I'm happy for Salah there.

doesn't matter either way for Chelsea except that Chelsea do need more people who shoot and score in the future. money or the player back in London... either way. Jose's PL side might not be his place.

Thibault gets MotM, Hazard and Ramires good match. Costa and Oscar aren't doing it for me at all. I don't see why Drogba and Remy aren't playing instead. At least Costa isn't doing enough, so you might as well just put Remy on with Oscar and use Drogba or RLC as a sub.

THIS IS AN F-ING FOOTBALL MATCH! THIS FEELS SO GOOD! Been tired of the Premier League lately and watching more La Liga. Finally, today, we have a cracking match in East *London! Love this!

Now all we need is the stadium expansion, Mikel out, some quicker interplay on attacks, a new fullback and one more solid centre mid.

It's not a surprise that someone leaves Chelsea and performs very well. Chelsea play too slow.

I think you and Paris will be shocked. Should be a good one. Di-e-go Costa!!!

I would like to see more on Constantin Nica, RB for Cesena, on-loan from Atalanta. Interesting young player. Have any of you seen him much?

The leaders: Fab and Terry. I think it really shows while Fab is out of action how Chelsea backslide into a pattern of repeated slow and impotent attacks like yesteryears. Need to prevent this from happening and not be over-dependent upon Cesc. That's what needs to be addressed by the manager and in the summer. Faster build-up play, more depth in CM and better fullbacks.

I'm very happy for him right now. Keep your chin up no matter what, Kurt.

I hope that Cuadrado-Hazard-Costa/Remy-Fabregas-Matic make our passing quicker for the rest of the season. good win, Cech MotM, but I would have liked to see some more speed of attack at least during the first 25 minutes of the 2nd half.

I wasn't happy with the line-up and match, but the consequence of the result might mean playing time for RLC, Ake, etc. later on. 7 points above and hoping for something more in the coming league matches.

I don't think this will be like past games away to Villa. Chelsea win. Put in Hazard, Willian, and Cuadrado behind Remy, Oscar as a sub.

RLC should be a CM off the bench behind Ramires (as Fab recovers)... while Mikel only used sometimes to maintain a lead-- but I see that Mikel-use going wrong too. Can't wait 'til Mikel is gone.

Walcott, Chambermaid, Chambers, Welbeck... Walcott's good, Ox is becoming good, Gibbs is always injured. Question on England is: where's the next S. Gerrard or excellent CM? at Tottenham? there are a few guys out there I like, but IDK if they're coming to Chelsea anytime soon. I genuinely like RLC though; have high hopes for him.

speed and incision and a greater threat on the dribble have arrived. welcome Juan!

waiting to hear about Enner. happy about Cuadrado joining. Guess the summer will bring another CM and a fullback. Maybe Oscar OTW out. I'm waiting to see RLC play again. tick tick tick. let's see him.

good point. I don't mind Jose's overall strategy to win the title this season (not losing to the big sides), but I don't agree with any notion that today is an example of what Chelsea should be for the future--meaning, THE HIGH PRICED SIDE THAT PLAYS AGAINST TOP SIDES LIKE SOME MID-TABLE CLUB. I guess you can make the argument that Chelsea don't have the capability to adequately pressure ManCity with possession while top players are out of the lineup, but then I must ask why the squad isn't better prepared to attack a top side and why it wasn't better prepared to attack in other matches this season. After today's performance, people should ask whether Chelsea is an attractive place to play football in the future (as you suggest) and whether Jose's teams will play like this in the future, after this season. For now, we can accept this result, but for the future is this kind of approach going to be acceptable? Doing nothing with the ball and defending might have gotten Chelsea one CL title, but I don't think it's the way Chelsea Football Club want to play in the future and I'm still wondering about this trend continuing since Jose has come back here. If Jose gets a trophy this season, we'll see if anything changes.

Navas is too quick for him
