Oh he's only learning? Fair enough... I guess that's why he was our best performer out there against MK Dons then? It's not Hiddink's fault, it's the board's for putting the club in this pit of shit!

Good call that! I think even playing the youth would be a breath of fresh air right about now! Even the Under-21 side have been performing better than this side, so you'd think maybe a few could get promoted.. Teams like Liverpool did it when they went a few seasons in the position we're in now! Even Tottenham, otherwise Harry Kane / Dele Alli wouldn't have been a thing. Honestly, I'm sick of witnessing this huge horde of overpaid players who give next to fuck all for the club. If you're not going to put in a 100% shift every week, then just go... because I've had enough. I've even watched bad displays to a degree where I just can't watch them!

A legitimate question.. Why do we play this big clown in midfield instead of Loftus-Cheek? I'd seriously like to know! Matic is one of those players that I'd just like to say, "if you can't perform 100% in every game you play, just leave!"

Absolutely! We've looked stale ALL season because we haven't bothered to strengthen. We've just kept the look of the team that won the league last season, while the teams around us have made the necessary changes! January was another chance to do that to be honest. All our board could cough up, was loan a Brazilian for 6 months who brings somewhat, a history of injuries, and an American I've never even heard of, who will probably be unsuccessful at fighting for a plane and will be loaned out this summer! Not exactly "world beaters" are they? Keeping this post on topic, they couldn't have made the team against Watford last night, even if they had been signed last summer!

Let's be honest, this is only being done just so Ivanovic can get games, because even though he has arguably been one of our absolute worst performers, he still somehow starts. I don't think anyone at the club has been able to figure out that the best way to solve this, is by placing Azpilicueta on the right and offer Baba some games on the left. Some people will say "that's a stupid call, because he's not been good for us.." Well that's because he hardly gets a chance to prove himself.. Because Ivanovic!! How much did we spend on Baba again? We needed to sign players who could improve the starting eleven and fit into the side easily, not sign seasonal bench warmers! Our board are clueless pricks, but we all knew that anyway!

Two more vital points down the shitter! good work, board, good work!

Don't EVER let Oscar take another corner kick again!

Oscar just get lost you useless prick! turns out MK Dons was his actual level!

What the fuck are we doing out there??

Another typical Chelsea shitfest tonight! Watford tearing us a new arsehole out there, especially with players like Deeney, Jurado and Ighalo. Oscar and Matic have pretty much been the worst players on the pitch for me. Their tactical ethic has been zero and their passing/zonal marking has been awful! You know what, Chelsea are so poor in the first half of any game that I refuse to watch the first half of any of our games from now on, because we always play like we couldn't be bothered to turn up!! It's frustrating!

Loan with option to buy I think... ..if Chelsea could get their thumbs out of their arse and announce the news on the website, we might get an assured idea!

Hmmm yes.. I can think of another player who was "compared" to Jaap Stam... ..should know him, his name is Khalid!

Wow! Really??? Y'know what, we might as well sign Kaka on loan, and convince Rivaldo to come out of retirement and sign on a pay-as-you-play deal! Somebody please just sack Emenalo.. I've had enough of him!

I have no words...

It would be a real blow if Ramires is out! Either that or maybe Hiddink is playing the safe card and closing things up defensively. Arsenal are an attacking team so it would make sense. It must be said however, seeing Matic in the middle terrifies me! Ramsey and Özil can easily bully him around just like everybody else seems to have done!

I'll just say this... ...we will be blown away by Arsenal, if the same fruitless Chelsea team we've been seeing all season turns up today! We know the type of play style Arsenal have under Wenger. Full blown attacking-possession style. We need to stick it to them and show our true Champions spirit. I'd rather not see us feed the dinosaur Arsenal supporters with more bragging rights! But even moreso.. I'd rather not see the teams below us gain the upper hand at the foot of the table due to a potential slip-up! It'll either be a heart-wrenching "backs-to-the-wall" 0-0 draw, or Arsenal will win 2-0. Of course, I hope I'm proved wrong by our performance, but that's what my mind and stomach are telling me!

Quite mesmerised that there hasn't been a thread discussing this, but sources today claim we're looking to sign Thiago Silva on a loan deal from PSG. Here's one of a few articles I've found. And it's not just the Star, loads of sites are reporting this... http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/489658/Exclusive-Chelsea-weigh-loan-swoop-Brazil It would be a good option to close things up at the back, but he's next to useless for the Champions League. 1) because he's cup tied; and 2) aren't we supposed to be playing PSG in the last 16? PSG would be pretty miffed if they loaned out arguably the best centre back in the world to a club they're facing in Europe in a months time.. Discuss!

Yes I have watched Chile, and I've also watched Brazil and Portugal under Scolari when they were dominant from 2002-onwards, and this was before Scolari was oppointed by us. Yeah this guy has done well with Chile, but is he proven in Europe? No..

Going for lower names.. not going for the high profile ones despite our club image because our board is weak and pathetic! And because Michael Emenalo is an asshole! This "Sampaoli" guy.. sounds like another Felipe Scolari story to me!

It'll probably be number 11 that he takes, an ideal, "historic" number...

I'd take Pato on, purely because he's 26, and still has plenty of years left in the tank. My only concern, is the fact that he's a striker, and we dispose of big names up front faster than my mum goes through dairy milk bars!

Yeah I agree with that.. I mean, if she had a reason to want to break up with you, she would have told you in the nicest way possible.. that's how my Swedish ex-girlfriend did it with me.. even though I felt confused and heartbroken at the time.. ..but for her to just leave you without any statement of intent, that's absolutely rude! People like that are not worth your time!

For a guy who has had lady problems in the past. I feel any pain you have...

When you think about it, it's pretty much the type of player we end up getting!
