I think it was the right thing to do once you've been given the all clear by the player himself and the medical staff. It was refreshing that Mourinho was proactive for a change and was going for the jugular; he deserves credit for it. But I don't know what he was playing at with planning to withdraw Remy for Cuadrado, that could've backfired badly.

This thread would be 5 times as big by now had we not won. Makes you wonder lol.

How is it 'desperate'? A few pages back there were people (including me) complaining about how he's become passive and lost that trademark willingness to shuffle things which are not working. Clearly they thought Costa was okay to play a part, otherwise he wouldn't have been on the bench to begin with.

Remy hattrick, Hazard quintuple and all of us clapping our hands as QPHa go down and out of business.

Hazard for Man of The Universe.

Ballon d'Or candidate if ever there was one. Since January he's been hitting heights I've never seen another Chelsea player hit in my time watching us. He'd easily put on the numbers the other top 3 or 4 players in the world do if he played with the kind of guys that those players do.

Fuck's sake, Hazard doesn't deserve to play with these buffoons.

The last 2 weeks felt like a year.

This team still needs a lot of growing up to do. We're awesome when allowed time and space but collapse like a house of cards the moment we encounter even mild pressing. Nevertheless, yesterday felt like a pivotal moment in the title race and we should see it out now. I'm pretty much done as well; this place is fucking miserable all the time and it's not fun to hang out at anymore. You would think we're QPR the way people go on and on with their complaints and their whining.

Awful. Not sure that was a penalty either but Southampton deserve to be level anyway so hard to complain. Cuadrado for Oscar (complete passenger), Ramires for Cesc (amazingly sloppy in possession) and shift to 4-3-3. Ramires will provide legs to cover for Ivanovic who's clearly been instructed to forget about defending and Willian's pretty useless wide anyway so why not stay in the middle? Oh and fuck Jon Champion and the other Neville on commentary.

Desperately need a performance (along with the result, obviously). Come on Chelsea, stop playing so shit.

Hazard because he's been the only consistent difference maker since the turn of the year.

It's weird. I have never seen him this passive/complacent/reluctant during games.

lol mate come off it or someone will dig up your posts after the 7-1

None because Ferguson is the exception and not the rule.

Firstly a huge well done to PSG because let's be honest they have some shithouses on their team but over the two legs I'd not have complained had the aggregate scoreline read something like 12-4 to them. It's an easy defeat to take because it always is when a better side beats you. Coming to us, there's not much to say because I can't believe I sat through this shit till 4 in the morning. It's a slap in the face for Mourinho and our squad who didn't look bothered once Ibra was wrongly sent off. Zero game management, zero passion, zero composure and zero performance. If this is how we perform on a big CL night at home having had a week's preparation that supposedly consisted of training sessions more intensive than the opponent's weekend game, we might be hearing the transition line for a while longer. As painfully pedestrian a performance as I've ever seen; would've put some of those in 10-11 under Carlo to shame.

Yes but that's one. Not on the ropes by any means.

Name a dangerous chance.

Lol Paul Parker doesn't reckon Thiago Silva actually touched the ball. Piss off.

Why is Neville so bitchy tonight?

On the ropes? I don't remember one single shot on target apart from Oscar's speculative long ranger.

He fucking needs to sort out his antics.

First half was okay relatively speaking but boy the second was soul crushing and hopelessly deflating, right up there with the likes of the 3-0 game against Sunderland.

Veratti booked. Ref will be visited by Satan tonight.

Is this the 'intensive training' Mourinho was talking about?
