Think for this game Ramires for Oscar is a must, maybe Willian for Schurrle as well if he isn't injured. Pace is really necessary to combat against them.

away we did, against Spurs we really only got going once fell behind.

Hopefully that and not settle for a draw Arsenal/MU/Spurs style last season

Lukaku injured, don't think he will play. Also their confidence should be way down now, 4 points threw away in 2 weeks.

Cech should leave now, no chance-absolutely NO CHANCE of him being replaced. Think he will stay here for at least 6 more years.

Hazard terrible so far, it is games like this which is why he is labeled inconsistent.

Well if you measure consistency by statistic Di Maria hit double figure for both goals+assists for 5 years now. Last season was the best season of his career and earned him a lot more recognition from normal football fans. He is an assist machine, but he isn't as flashy as Hazard and often overshadowed by Ronaldo, then Bale and now James at Madrid.

Di Maria is just as good as Hazard if not better, performed consistently well at highest level for both club and national team for 5 years now. Hazard is still inconsistent but Di Maria is the opposite.

Send Salah on loan to Vitese/Sunderland or whoever and offer 20m loan for him with 20-30m more for permanent transfer next summer. This would be a great move for us.

Terrible striker really, I hope they take Torres for like 5-10m and we go out to sign Remy/Bony for 15-20m.

Watching his goals last season never realized that he is now actually pretty good at short range free kicks

People talking about competition and how it is healthy, however sometime for top top players competition can actually hinder their progress and create conflicts in the dressing room. For example Cristiano Ronaldo before he became super world star famous, lets says Madrid decided to keep Robben and let him fight with Ronaldo. Both of them want to be 1st choice and neither is willing to sit on the bench and 'wait for their chance'. Competition is good ONLY if one of the competitors are underdog, so lets say we have David Marshall fighting with Courtois then that COULD be competition. Cech vs Courtois is more of a all out fight, only 1 will be winner. Neither of them see it as just competition and neither is willing so sit there and wait for their chances.

More productive in front of goal is the appropriate phrase sorry.

Very good attacking football game from us hopefully, 4-0 is my prediction/expectation. Same line up with maybe Luis in for Dave and Willian for Oscar then we are good to go.

Will be a beast of a player for us from now on if he doesn't jerk off aka attending Arsenal Xmas party, he is better than Willian technically and once he tracks back more he will have a permanent place in the team ahead of Willian or Oscar.

Just hope he doesn't do it against the likes of Spurs, Arsenal, MU though. We should be attacking them now with our much better squad, City and Pool maybe that approach is acceptable.

Daily Mail reckons Bayern might bid 27m for him, would be worth it for them, shame we are already overloaded or if he stays we could try next summer for him or Benatia.

Looks like he will be getting at least 20 goals for us, would be quite fun to look back 20 pages or so in May next year to see who had got his goal prediction right

Most underrated player in the Chelsea shirt, our own beast. Imo he is one of the best defender in BPL atm and actually has been for quite sometime now, in top 10 anyway.

No thanks, injury prone as hell. We recently got rid of most if not all of them, please not him.

Doubt it, that would mean a team of Cech Dave Cahill Terry Luis Matic Fabregas Salah ? ? Costa Not to mention news going around that Courtois will demand to have talk about his future if not starting tonight. Basically will be our strongest team imo, OScar, Hazard, Courtois, Ivan, Willian...etc will all play.

Maybe getting a good pasting by Real Madrid a few months ago persuaded him to stop trying to be extremists, football revolutionary genius and instead be more logical

News going around that he will demand to talk with Jose about his future if he isn't starting tomorrow.

If they get all 3 suddenly they got top 5 players in the world in every single line-GK, defence, midfield and attack

Now they sign Vidal+ Di Maria and suddenly their starting 11 is just as good if not better than our. Shit hope this doesn't happen.
