I hope so. We need to get a win in Kiev.

Did nothing yet again. We don't need passengers.

Mourinho's reasoning to leaving him out was quite shocking. He should be blaming the players who are in the team to defend (Iva, Matic, etc). His lack of creativity would have been a more understandable excuse. Hazard will either rise above it and regain his place, or be off to RM or PSG next summer. I think Mou's words could come back to haunt him and the club.

Was nervy on occasions, but I'm happy he got a chance and we get kept a clean sheet. Can't really ask for more.

Chelsea in the league this season: With Branislav Ivanovic (8 games, 1 clean sheet). Without Branislav Ivanovic (1 game, 1 clean sheet). Shows where the problem was.

Win and a clean sheet. We had to start off somewhere.

Fullbacks in their right positions.

Money would be the only reason. Wages aren't the same as over here.

Me neither. I can't believe Mou is making the same excuses about Baba. We bought him from the Bundesliga and not League 2. I think he's more than capable of doing a job in his position.

He's found some scoring boots this season.

Eager to see what team he fields. I'm expecting a few changes after what he said post match against Southampton.

Chelsea really need to make sure loanees are guaranteed playing time before agreeing to any deals. Happening far too often (Moses at Liverpool, Atsu at Everton, Chalobah at Napoli, etc).

He's starting to become less reliable taking PK's. I would still have him as number one for now, but he might have to be replaced should be miss another.

Providing Mou actually starts him; he has to take this chance.

Never realised how much his pay off fees were should Roman dispense him. I can now see why he hasn't pulled the trigger as of yet.

He isn't a RB and should have never been played there. Some of his recent goals have masked his overall contribution in that position. If Mou wants to field 4 defensive minded players at the back; I would prefer Zouma as our RB.

Neymar was given it at Santos even younger.

Looks like he's staying put.

All to do with the manager. One will give youth a chance, while the other won't.

No reason he should still be with us come next season. Has offered almost nothing in the games he's played this season.

A shake up is needed. Will be interesting to see who leads the team out in two weeks.

He might have a made a few mistakes yesterday, but he was still one of the few saving graces. Always gives his all. I wish that could be said about the rest of our squad.

I honestly feel sorry for him. He hasn't perform well for a while now, but he's been left to die on the field most weeks. It's hard to see him take the full blame when the shit alongside him isn't get dropped or even subbed.

Indeed. Time will tell.

He's finally talking about the possibility of giving youth a chance. A bit late, eh!
