I'm not trying to blame it all on Fabregas, but he really needs to learn how to play these matches like Newcastle today and Sunderland a weeks time back. He wants to look for the killer through ball and that's great, but ffs, when you are against a team with 10 men behind the ball you can't do that. It's all about moving it around quickly then, not having 10 touches before passing it sideways as you realize there's no options in front of you. Mourinho also needs to wake the fuck up here. Willian is not nearly as useful against these teams as he can be in the big matches. Schurrle got his long shot and is a lot more direct, why not have him on some earlier? Same goes for Drogba who just wins all headers in the box. I love Costa as much as anyone else, but when there's as little movement from Chelsea around him as today, and the opponent have a lot of strong guys in the box, there isn't much he can do.

Terrible match from Matic and Fabregas. When the opponent doesn't give you any space and you are forced to constantly play it sideways, the least you can do is not take 10 touches and allow them to adjust every single time you got the ball. Also bad from the wings, Willian at least almost created something a few times, while it lacked a lot from Hazard. Azplicueta also truly shows he's right footed playing on the left back today, limits the play quite a bit for him, and when Ivanovic doesn't do more than today it could be nice to see Luis on the left and Azpilicueta on the right. Oh well, this is what that lead on points is for isn't it? Sunderland did well and Chelsea couldn't do shit, good thing it's just Spurs next week.

He just said it in tv lol, it's real.

Lambert : "we've answered some of the critics about Sunday night - we wanted the win and we almost got it"

Well he's still at Sunderland, but hardly still playing. He's pretty much the complete player though Strenght Good attitude, always tries to keep in balance despite brutal body checks and hacked down Good technique Fighting spirit and the mentality to overcome dark times What a player. He's ready to take it to the next level, to score more than 1 goal in a real league

Not even on the bench lol.

gif form

I don't really believe it, at least not for the price. But Cech wanting to stay in London makes sense. Would think some better clubs would be ready to give him a contract though, I'm looking at you PSG.

Yeah. She's not bad at all. Now that De Bruyne girl that Courtois also nailed... That is puzzling.

Will give it a try once I finally buy a kindle.

We all hate them! But for once I am also kind of happy about it, with Costa and Fabregas getting two weeks off.

It's the same typical bullshit as always, the headlines are not close to what he's saying or showing the whole picture.

He would be fantastic for Chelsea, but the price would no doubt be way too high, will probably end up going for Reus or similar instead.

Yes Moyes, YES

He certainly has to get better at finishing, the good thing is he's also painfully aware of that himself and so is the whole Chelsea coaching staff. Hopefully that will get better with time and he will also get better composure with age.

Injuries can very possibly. While the main starting 11 is great and a good bunch of the bench is too, it doesn't take many injuries for the current Chelsea team to look fairly thin. Meanwhile a team like City got pretty much a competent replacement for each and every starting 11 and will probably not have as many matches to play, when they crash out of Europe. If you meant a single team... Ehm, probably some shit like Sunderland yeah.

Because of English employment law allows 16-year-olds were allowed to sign contracts, which he wasn't in Spain. So basically he moved as soon as he could get a proper contract and Barca didn't have much of a say in it/couldn't offer him a contract like that. It was hardly getting rid of him.
