Mangala is overrated, plays one match like he's the best in the world, next match with clumsy mistakes. Little bit like Luiz, you can't really count on him in every match.

I lost €50 because of Torres, had a side bet in his 2nd season with a friend, >15 goals in all competitions.

Willian in for Schurrle to have more control, Mikel later on for Oscar to kill the match.

Arsenal with 4-2-3-1, don't have a great feeling about this one. Willian should start in this kind of matches, especially when Ramires isn't playing.

Exactly, against Bolton he had more responsibilities to be decisive in the game. No Hazard, Costa, Willian and Cesc meant he had to lead the attack. Oscar felt the same, they were both the only regular attackers in that line up. Against Sporting he had a great performance but was a bit unlucky. Costa, Oscar and Salah also missed some big chances. Schurrle worked really hard and defended really well.

No worries, we have Mou. He will keep everyone down to earth until we lift the trophies at the end of the season.

This is a game Ramires would've 100% started, now he isn't available the most likely line up would be: Courtois Brana Gary JT Azpi Matic Cesc Willian Oscar Hazard Costa For more stability against their attacking mids we could also do this: Tibo Brana Gary JT Azpi Mikel Matic Willian Cesc Hazard Costa Don't think Mou will play Luis in this one, he loves Azpi in big games and Brana is an untouchable for him.

"It is a return to stay," Mourinho said before referring to the clubs - China's Shanghai Shenhua and Turkey's Galatasaray - that Drogba played for after leaving Chelsea in 2012. "No longer will there be more (Drogba) in China or Drogba playing at Galatasaray," Mourinho said suggesting that Chelsea will be the 36-year-old Ivorian's last club. "Drogba will be a coach or assistant youth football team or the main ambassador of Chelsea or assistant director of sports. There will be a role for him what he wants. He is a player who Mr Abramovich wants at the club." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/11130420/.html

Yeahhhh 0-1 Spurs (Chadli)

Big chance that Mata will start against us then.

Lampard 2-4 City, killed the game for them

Willian deserved the goal, bossy action from Diego Costa!

Yup, let's see what happens. I would like to see him here anyway, to have an extra player like him would be a plus. It doesn't matter who starts more, we have enough games to play.

Can see him coming to us on a free transfer in the summer. He was a favorite of Mou at Madrid and didn't fall out with him.

Since I started to watch football. There were many Dutch players at Chelsea like Gullit, Hasselbaink, Melchiot, Zenden and that's why I started to like Chelsea. Does it actually really matter? I just don't like that some of them are insulting foreign fans just because we aren't born and living in England.

A member for 3 months here, but a Chelsea fan whole my life.

Great, if you're really "getting sick" of all the foreign fans here, you can better leave TC and join a forum for British Chelsea fans only.

Against United: Courtois Iva GC JT Luis Rami Matic Cesc Willian Costa Hazard Against Shrewsbury: Cech Azpi Zouma Christ Ake Baker Mikel Oscar Salah Remy Schurrle

One of the dumbest comments I've ever read. So by your logic, people living far away from England with a limited living budget can NEVER BE A REAL FAN? I'm currently living in Hong kong/China, so let me represent my fellow China Chelsea fans. The time difference is 6-7 hours, my Champions League match starts at 3.45 AM till around 6 AM and guess what? I've to work at 9 AM. To watch EPL games in Hong Kong is quite expensive, so I've bought a TV package to watch Chelsea games. Bought the Chelsea fan club membership, bought a VPN to be able to watch Chelsea TV streams in China as all the streams are blocked here. Whenever Chelsea loses points/matches, I fight with my girlfriend when she annoys me. I even stay up for preseason matches until the morning. It's not about where you live, it's about what you feel for the club.

Lampard is not Lampard for me anymore. He's just an ex Chelsea player who performed really well for us in the past and gave us good memories. Football is so popular because there are people like us, the fans, spending time and a lot of money to engage with the club and players. Without the "love" aspect football could be quite a boring game. On paper Lamps did nothing wrong but from the sentimental point of view, he made a mistake. Maybe a strange comparison, but if your best friend get into a relationship with your EX wife AFTER you divored with her which you loved very much, is he wrong? On paper not he did not betray me, but I wouldn't feel the same for him anymore. The friendship is damaged and so is my love for Lamps.
