Rest him for QPR, Solanke should start tmr.

Would really like to see him join us in January or in the summer for free. Khedira-Matic Cesc This midfield would be unbeatable against big teams like ManU today where we lost the midfield battle with Oscar and Cesc. Ramires, Oscar and Mikel as back ups for Khedira, Cesc and Matic. Mvg and Ake won't be ready for this kind of games yet at their age. 3-4 years of Khedira would do us good.

Too much gambling money involved in football. Half the world bought Chelsea this match, so we had to draw/lose. Big matches attracts big audience. Just imagine how many people were betting on this game and what the bookies would lose if Chelsea won, then you'll have your answer. I'm not saying this because I'm angry, this is just how it works in this world.

Just rewatched the game, the ref was doing everything to let us lose. All our touches were yellow, while they could do everything. The 2nd half we really controlled the game and were never really in trouble, they created nothing. This 2nd half was little bit like the 2nd half against Arsenal.

It's about the moment when they scored, 94th minute of the game. That made them feel like they won the game, 13pts or 10pts behind the leaders is a big difference.

Anyone but Pep, hate that guy

When Mou decided to bring on Mikel it was for several reasons. -Oscar and cesc couldn't control the midfield. Mikel can help with that. - Matic and Cesc were already on yellows, one dive or foul would be a 2nd yellow. - Bringing Mikel to be the main cdm, gives Cesc and Matic more freedom to attack. I think it was a good move, not a coward one. Normally Mikel helps us to control games, like Everton (3-6).

Keep posting Thiago is 2014 ballon d'or winner.

Cech Zouma JT Christensen Ake Mikel Baker Salah Boga Schurrle Solanke

Reported.

He is just not good enough for big games. Ramires should start the big games next to Matic with Cesc as the #10.

Cesc and Matic were both on yellows, one light foul or dive and they would have received a second with this ref. Oscar wasn't playing well too, so bringing Mikel was a good idea to control the game.

ManU or the gambling world bought the ref. This match was so fake, unbelievable. If the goal wasnt a corner, it would have been ruled off side. We are all clowns in this circus, last year against Aston and Sunderland and now against ManU.

Oscar being Oscar again,Willian and cesc also bad. Drogba holds the ball well but can't run and times his passing badly. Thibo and Hazard good. First move: Bring on Mikel for Oscar move Cesc to #10.

I'd take it, 6 points clear from City, 9 from Arsenal and Liverpool, 10 from United. That would be ok. (4 from Southampton, but i don't consider them as long term competitors)Considering Luis isn't adapted yet and the fact we're missing Rami, Azpi, Costa and Remy.

7 left footed field players in their line up, quite sick.

Courtois Iva-ramos-terry-luis Cesc Matic Modric Hazard Costa CR7

Barca win 1-2

If Remy+Costa can't play: Courtois Iva Gary JT Luis Ramires Matic Willian Cesc Schurrle Hazard Rami instead of Oscar to give more defensive stability, give Hazard a free role and let him damage their defence.

Little bit suprised with Cech and Zouma as starters.

Don't forget Tadic, 4 assists and 1 goal today lol.

Welcome Hagenees ;-)

Ibrahimovic said: "Mourinho is very intelligent. "He doesn’t treat everybody the same. He knows how to treat people as individuals and to get 100 per cent out of them." In his revealing interview with the The Guardian, Ibrahimovic was asked if Mourinho was the most intelligent manager he’s ever worked under, he retorted: "Yes. In the way he approaches players and – ‘manipulates’ is the wrong word – gets them very pumped up? No doubt." http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/519827/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-Chelsea-Jose-Mourinho-Praise-PSG-Star-Latest-News-Lauds

My opinion is based on his Porto time, but he may do better in England.
