Jose should take Hazard and Oscar off.

Enjoyable game. We look good as a unit. JT scoring was pretty special. He looked so damn happy. Eden looking good so far. Would love him to score. And another assist for Cesc. Nothing new there.

Looks like Cahill's shaky defending finally made Jose bench him(or possibly rest him). Surprised Azpi isn't playing.

Don't really expect to see more than a few changes in the lineup. I'll be extremely surprised if any youngsters start.

Mourinho: Now I know why Fabregas was Arsenal captain Can't watch the video at the moment. What does Jose say? Edit: Never mind, found it:

Tragic. RIP. To be honest, even when I see footballers jumping on top of each other after a goal I'm surprised the goal scorer doesn't get injured from that.

I think if anyone will be benched in favour of Ramires it's Willian, not Oscar. Ramires on the wing, moving to form 4-3-3 most of the time.

Yeah, I always considered him more of a second striker rather than a playmaking midfielder.

Di Maria's corners are useless more often than not. Don't get why he's taking them. RVP or Mata would do a better job.

I hope Jose doesn't give United too much respect. We should take 3 points, not play for a draw.

Agreed. He needs to do more runs without the ball and run at defenders more, like he did against Arsenal. The talent is there. I think he's been very good this season, though admittedly, he needs to score a lot more if he wants to be on Messi and CR7 level.

If three years ago someone told me our fans would be signing this song, I would have thought that person was crazy. By the way, are we going to keep using this song for Cesc? Not sure how I feel about stealing Arsenal's song. Though it is kind of hilariously appropriate and everyone knows it.

His stats aren't actually that down. Last year by this time in October Eden had 3 goals and 1 assist in the PL. This year he has 2 goals and 1 assist in the PL. So as we see, there isn't much difference. It's just his stats seem down only compared to Diego and Cesc. Yeah, even Oscar's and Ramires's stats are a bit better than Eden's so far, but it says good things about their form this season rather than anything about Eden's form. Eden is on track.

I think it depends on which of them will play against United. The one who'll play against United will be probably rested. I think there's a pretty high chance Ramires will play against United if he's fit(and he's training already), taking either Willian's or Oscar's place(likely Willian's).

So if Ramires and Mikel are both out, it means we'll definitely play Matic-Fabregas. With Ake on the bench.

Well, it's the only thing they can do. Seriously, Arsenal fans are like ditched jealous ex-boyfriends watching their ex being happy and doing great with someone else. They just can't let go. Though it must hurt, considering that "someone else" is the guy who's bean beating them year after year.

I guess they're tired of the whole Chelsea-Cesc-Arsenal triangle. Cesc has been a Chelsea player for 4 months already and proved his commitment to us during the game against Arsenal, so there's no story anymore.

I guess it is possible to read it that way, but to me they basically said the same thing: that there will never be another invincible. With the only difference being that Cesc praised that Arsenal team and said our team is young and only getting there. "I don’t think we are there yet but we are building up a very young, talented and solid team and hopefully we can get to the final part of the season with options for winning everything." And it did make the headlines. Premier League: Cesc Fabregas doubts Chelsea can remain unbeaten

Why would there be? Jose basically said the same thing as Cesc: that it's impossible. Which is the smart thing to say, considering that we played only 8 games. That Omar bloke needs to read Jose's interviews too.

I'm torn between laughing and cringing.

Don't know how it sounded on the telly. I watched with headphones on and our fans sounded great and could be heard throughout the match. CP fans were very good too, but it's hardly surprising since they outnumbered Chelsea fans.

By the way, our away fans were brilliant yesterday. They totally out-sang CP fans. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxGnv0iDUzw Ignore the shitty filming, especially during the goals.

I expect our usual starting lineup with a couple of changes at most. It's possible Iva will be rested while Azpi and Luis start and Ake is on the bench. Think Ramires will play against United instead of Willian, so Willian will likely play against Maribor. Can see Oscar being rested and Salah or Andre playing. Possibly this lineup: TCAzpi Cahill JT Luis Cesc MaticSalah/Schurrle Willian Hazard Remy With Cesc and Eden subbed off on 60+. P.S. Please no to Drogba. He shouldn't be starting if we don't want a repeat of the Schalke game. Remy must start.

With Azpi missing 3 PL games, Ake might get a chance to play in a PL game.

I really want to know what they were laughing about. Arsenal's score?
