Played the same team 3 times in 7 days, Eden has played about 50 ninety minutes in the past 2 weeks, awful rotation Jose.

Absolutely, and this is most important.

Mikel hattrick. Would be a double hattrick but he will be a little rusty after not playing for a while.

But whenever they go forward they are too poor on the ball to create something memorable.

Well we all can't be the super fans that will over do the 'I love everything about Chelsea' motive, clearly there are problems in the club like every club and people point it out instead of hiding away from it.

Is it only me who thinks he doesn't look anywhere near his best, he looks so much slower and weaker than last season and his first.

A gun is better than a knife, doesn't mean a gun is always the answer though.

No rotation and Drogba, kill me.

What he lacks in attacking (not much, he is a good attacker) he makes up for in his ball retention, simplicity, work rate and energy.

Yeah but you would think since Shurrle sucks at dribbling he would try to develop into a more direct player who scores, like Rues

I once tried that, now I just don't have a family.

Torres is triple talanted as this guy and he does not get silly bookings.

Hazard is always dier when we expect him to be a hazard.

I'm not saying no, I'm just saying Oscar has been very important, but yes Fab is amazing in the attack, and should be played higher up against weaker opposition. But against Sunderland, that was not the problem, both Oscar and Fab were playing high up the pitch, the problem was the lack of width as we have defensive fullbacks (well, a right back at left back and a centre back at right back)

So how much will we be earning from this deal? How much more than Samsung and how is it compared to other clubs?

Mikel is world class, what are you talking about?

Agree but Oscar has been too good to drop, besides Rambo is terrible on the ball.

Anyone think he will start scoring and go on a run, like he did last season around this time?

Your right. No trouble whatsoever, we will go on and never drop more than 3 points in the whole season and will win by them 3 points.

I say bring in Remy, Shurrle and Ramires. All day pace, runs and energy. Take out Willian and Oscar, move Cesc up the pitch and put Rambo with Matic.

Agree with team but drop Iva for Azpi. (wont ever happen with Jose)

Expected this, Southampton are nothing but an overrated team, just like last season they had a great start then get rolled by the better teams.

I want Remy to start, but Jose really likes Didier so he will play. Eden will be knackered, Willian will be, Oscar, Cesc, Matic, back four.. Jose's fault for lack of rotation.

That's how most people see it. They expect you two play a nice game of football and let us roll you over, but that didn't happen so people are upset. It's great from you guys because you wanted points so you didn't go in blindly and try to outplay us (although with our pathetic performance, you probably could of). Also I can't see why people aren't blaming Jose here instead. He knew they were going to play deep, that's the whole point, that's the whole reason we lost the title last season, the whole point he brought in Cesc and Diego. He should of used better tactics and freshened up the squad, rested Hazard in midweek, but nope.

It isn't Dave's fault at all. When we played under Rafa and Di Mateo, Azpi and Cole were our wing men, and the last time we had two natural fulbacks playing on their favourite sides. Anyone who saw our games can agree we played some of the best football we have played in them times, a big reason was because of having two mobile fulbacks on their favourite sides. Both would press at the same time, push up at the same time, keep the ball easily and create space for our wingers (which helped Eden and Mata a lot). I've already said about our backline, it really needs sorting next season, it's just unbalanced and is affecting our attacking game.
