stroey

Zouma, Zouma, Zouma, Zouma! The craziest thing about this tackle is, that you're actually expecting him to do this, he's that good.

Not sure if Vardy will start, Drinkwater is also injured it seems. Will be great game for sure, hope Leicester can keep it up, can't stand watching Arsenal at #1

#MCFC's Soriano has traveled to Madrid to meet with Jose Angel Sanchez and make another offer for Isco. (Diario Sport) #RMCF#MCFC is willing to match the offer from #PSG for Isco, a fee that would be nearly 40 million Euros (Diario Sport) #RMCF While we are busy scouting players for Vitesse, City is already moving for the next big player available.

Wanyama I agree, but not the likes of Ighalo, Austin etc. We are Chelsea, we should aim for top players and not again bet on mediocre players what we already have enough of in Mikel, Oscar, Falcao, Ramires*, Cahill* (*love them as squad players though) and some unproven youngsters: Kenedy, Traore, Baba. Mahrez is pure class, probably the best attacking midfielder this year. Won't leave in January but there will be a bidding war for him in the summer. Vardy will be 29 years old next year, maybe too big of a gamble.

still miss him in midfield

lol, one of Courtois would've been funny too.

Great line up considering our average squad, the only change was maybe Ramires for Mikel. Hazard was great vs Spurs as false nine, so I'd expect a good performance.

Injuries: Remy (calf), Cahill (foot), Fabregas (fever), Falcao (calf) via @danlevene

no Cahill at all, injured?

Chelsea are interested in Atlético Madrid striker (Jackson Martinez), claims agent http://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/2015/12/28/10673326/chelsea-fc-atletico-madrid-jackson-martinez-agent-transfer-rumour-report

You and the Skipper said before that giving the manager role to Emenalo is a good idea and I agree. Sir Alex once said: ''In order to succeed as a manager you must have power and control.'' And with the current set up of the club, no manager will have the power and control. Players can play bad and the manager is the one who gets the sack, no power and control. The manager can cry for reinforcements but the former lady coach Emenalo is the one who gives you the players, no power and control. If you want to hire a world class manager you must give him power and control, otherwise it's just waste of time, potential and energy, like with Jose. - Imagine giving Simeone a bunch of players with lack of character aka pussy's, do you think he will succeed or fulfill his 100% potential? No. - Imagine giving Pep Djilobodji, Baba, Hector when he asks for proven top class defenders, you don't even want to see his head. Pep had problems with the Bayern technical director who didn't back him, do you think he want to work with someone like Emenalo? No chance. So why don't we just make Emenalo the new manager or at least hire a ''yes-man'' from him? Because he is already in charge of transfers. Apparently he is the one who wanted Juande Ramos and Pellegrini, so maybe we should give one of his targets a go, or Emenalo himself. And Roman clearly shares his vision and backs him, so why not?

wow, so lazy!

maybe Traore

Pedro can play there, or Oscar as false nine.

Serie A, the perfect (slow) league for Cesc.Hope he goes to Inter, so Juve can buy Oscar.

"Today we had a lot of bad luck. First, [Nemanja] Matic's penalty was a result of bad luck, with the ball hitting his hand; Watford's second goal took a deflection and got in and I missed the penalty by the end of game. I think we didn't deserve to draw, we deserved to win but that's how football is." Regarding José Mourinho's sacking, Oscar revealed a few interesting things, including hints at what may have been actual discord inside the dressing room between "some" players and the manager. But for him, it's time for the players to move on. "When the results don't come it's quite difficult. A lot of players start to get changed in the line-ups and some of them don't like this situation, but now the moment is gone. We have to keep our heads up, move on and get the results that we need." -Oscar; source: ESPN Brasil Willian also offered his thoughts on José Mourinho's dismissal, saying that the players should only focus on playing football and adapt to Hiddink's way of work after Mou's departure. "These decisions are made by the board; we as players must only think about playing football and adapt to the oncoming manager. So we are adapting to Guus Hiddink's work [at the moment]." "[Mourinho] never looked to bring in any issues from the outside to the dressing room. He never was that kind of manager. Unfortunately things weren't happening the way we were looking to." -Willian; source: ESPN Brasil http://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/2015/12/27/10669128/oscar-willian-reaction-chelsea-watford-mourinho

Guus Hiddink confirms that Oscar is #Chelsea’s number one penalty taker.

It's the first time Manchester United have lost four matches in a row since 1961! #MUFC
