I expect the same line up as Tuesday. They are stronger away from home, so hopefully that's a plus. I hope we can get the win, but I can't see use creating much.

Or full backs that actually attack.

Fantastic showing!

Should have won that match, but a point closer to progression will do.

Ramires on the ball is painful to watch.

Baba dropped after one match. [emoji20] Happy to see Mou has seen sense and brought our best player back.

If RM do come calling, a player exchange plus cash would be the best outcome for us.

Bitter about what?I don't rate him and won't be doing so until he delivers on a consistent basis. If you watch the chances he fluffs on a weekly basis (he even missed a sitter on Sat), you'll see my opinion is based on his overall contribution over a period of time. That season Liverpool nearly won the title was because Suarez carried them, which he was fortunate to be a part of that. Age is just a number. Neymar is slightly older, but is 10× the player he is and has done it on all stages.

We've been overpaying for subpar players for a few seasons now, while he let potential stars rot. Current trend.

One good game and the hype train starts. Some things will never change.

Unreal pace. https://mobile.twitter.com/BaccaOfTheNet/status/655512514864783360/video/1

Similar line up to today would be ideal. Pedro & Cesc replaced by Matic and Hazard. Must win.

He has the ability to turn a match. We aren't full of players like that.

Same was said about Newcastle after their current run. Who nearly lost to them (probably should have)?

Hazard has to be part of that to turn the tide.

South Americans are different beasts (Cavani, Tevez, Aguero, Suarez, etc). Hazard just doesn't have it in his game to that extent.

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.
