Hazard gave the ball away practically in OUR own half and nobody recovered. See how many bodies Newcastle players beat to score that goal. Blaming Hazard alone is quite low.

Still our best player though. Look at the way we played as a team, ffs. Even Messi would have struggled aside that shower of shit. ZERO cohestion

Once they scored, we didn't know what to do. Mourinho needs to look at himself there, instead of smirking on the touchline.

It won't be if Mourinho doesn't stop playing his favourites. We've won 2 in 5 away from home recently.

Costa should have been subbed out for Remy a long time ago. Guy is having a mare.

That's how to cross a fucking ball = Filipe Luis. Too little to late. We fans have been crying for 2-3 changes to the line-up but Mourinho has his favourites, it's obvious.

Fuck me, persisting with Ivanovic at RB and Azpilicueta at LB is the height of stubbornness. The importance of good attacking fullbacks simply can't be overstated. Hazard put about 3 decent balls into the box early in the 2nd half but no one was there to receive it. No one attacking the box. The fact that Alan Pardew showed more balls and put in a 2nd striker before us angers me a lot. Then he goes and scores. At least now he subs out Azpilicueta. Too little to late.

So, so predictable. Mourinho is completely to blame for persisting with the fullback problem and not bringing on a striker at half time/first 5 mins of 2nd half. Terrible management and I was just praising the man a few days ago. Some of the players are to blame also. Simply unacceptable.

And there it is. Just fuck off.

Newcastle are bringing on a 2nd striker. I don't know what the fuck Mourinho is waiting for. It's clear that there aren't enough bodies in the box. Remy should replace Oscar instantly.

WTF, Azpilicueta?? Our fullbacks are a shambles. Can't even control simple passes.

Hazard again by FAR the best player on the pitch. No one making any fucking runs. So frustrating. Get a 2nd striker in there before we drop any more points, ffs

Let's go again, hopefully we can be much better in the 2nd half. Need to play braver and quicker. Fullbacks need to be better.

I'm actually watching this game on mute. Can't stand that fucking knobhead, Owen. An absolute disaster of a commentator.

I like that idea. Oscar should be the one. He's terrible in this game.

We've lacked cohesiveness away from home all season in the Premier League and we're starting to be found out. It's worrying that we can't transfer our pattern of play away from home. I'm seriously worried we'll drop points in this game if we don't improve drastically in the 2nd half and score early.

We've been shocking in the last 15 mins. We've lost control of the game completely.

Lloris barely had a chance to save it. It was shot with a lot of venom and was beneath him. Shows how much you know about football.

Ah, I see. I don't know why I assumed you lived down south or something.

Long journey, that. I've never been to the North-East before. I hope you and you kid have a good time and enjoy the game!

So many falsehoods and awful points that have zero to little correlation. Just for the record Willian has played 53 games for us and has 5 goals. I'm not interested in who is the better player (it's clear to me that Oscar is easily better), but Willian's inefficiency, decision making, lack of a footballing brain and the fact that his defensive contribution doesn't negate or compensate for those things in the long run. Oscar too has his his problems, as do Costa, Hazard, Matic or Fabregas but the point is, Willian has more and is lagging behind the others. In general, too much favouritism for personal favourites goes on too much on this forum, which is frankly bizarre. We all have our favourite players but there's a limit to it. Praising one player to put another down is not what Chelsea fans do. At the end of the day, the team is what's by far most important.

Like who? Schurrle? He's not worth the extra 5-6 goals now that we have real strikers.

When we start losing matches, we can have this conversation, until then, I'll enjoy the wins.

At times is the key word there. Even for our best players, that can't be helped because of our style of play. It's normal and not just us. Fabregas can be guilty of that at times and that's because he's a high risk high reward type of player. His ball control isn't also in the level of a Hazard or Willian but arguably slightly above Oscar's. I'll rather Fabregas stay positive with his passing and link up play than be a negative passenger or a woeful passer. I don't think the same applies to Matic though. Guy is just a straight up monster. The only time he loses it is when he's trying to make ambitious forward passes, but that's rare. No one dares rob the ball off him or even attempts to. At the end of the day, the reward is that we're doing fantastically well in every competition and playing beautiful football for the most part. That will definitely be a concern vs a Bayern or a Real though. We'll probably have to throw in a Ramires in against those. But we won't get hurt against the lot we're facing in the league.

We won't miss Matic that much since we're going to be playing vs an Alan Pardew Newcastle team. They'll defend deep, let us have the ball and play on the counter. As long as Mikel holds his position and doesn't get involved with our attacks, I'll be fine.
