Schurrle is lacking match fitness & is tired, you can see that in his general play - I understand why Mourinho took him off.

4-4-2 let's go.

Please bring on Lampard...

Good sub tbh.

SO UNLUCKY ANDRE! I told you guys he's not got a bad shot

Bring on Lampard.

Okay Schurrle can stay on, I'll shut up.

Bring on Frank.

Because Mata is more creative than Schurrle, and for some reason it seems Schurrle's been behind Torres for more of the game than Mata.

Wow.

I'd like to see De Bruyne come on for Schurrle. I know Andre took his goal well but we could use someone more creative in there.

Cahill I believe. But as TOPTB said...

Yup, Cahill needs to do better there when marking Crouch. Too lacklustre.

I know what you mean but defensively we were okay for that. Cech has to take the majority of the blame for that goal. You're right that in general though, our set piece defending has been shocking recently.

I would be tempted to put on Lampard for Ramires right now.

It was a howler from Cech.

Great, control the game all afternoon and concede from yet another set piece. Brilliant, brilliant.

Ramires' finish is so off in this game.

Luiz would've thrived in this game. Look how much space Cahill and Terry have.

How dare you?! Mikel for Balon D'Or

Is Schurrle playing as a second striker today or?

Mikel assist you know. Mad.

He also mentioned Willian.

Doubt the rumours are true in any sense but I would take RVP in a heart beat if he was a few years younger.

I agree that Messi is the best footballer of his generation, but Ronaldo is a very close second and because Messi's been out for quite a bit in 2013 and Ronaldo has still been producing - naturally the award should go to him. Ronaldo's had a fantastic end to 2013.
