Samuel Rhodes is a fake account. He doesn't work for the Telegraph, no big Chelsea news.

Link?

Come on Chelsea get a top quality Midfielder in.

I think that's us done, we've done some very good business, very happy. Although if we were to bring in a top class Midfielder, we would be unstoppable in the league.

I agree, first of all i want to say i have nothing but admiration for our players, they defended so well, great performance. But what i will say, even before Ramires was sent off, we were constantly on the back seat, i know we were playing counter attacking football, but most of the time when we had the ball we didn't know what to do with it. I hear people saying we went toe to toe with the European champions, and even though i think we did well (especially with ten men), it was basically attacking/defending training session, even with ten men, we had everyone back, kicking the ball out every second we get... I agree it was a heroic performance, but with the amount of Money Roman invested into the squad, we should be controlling games better, or at least attempting to do that. I don't mind counter attacking football, Look at the likes of United, Bayern (last year) etc, but there's a difference, we had too many men back and was too negative, again it sounds like i'm complaining. Two years ago in the CL final, i understood why we defended so deep, we couldn't compete with them, but with the amount of money we spent in the last two years we should be able toe to toe with them. Also why are people slating Lukaku for missing a penalty? Jesus, anyone can miss a penalty, fucking hell, did you slate Terry when he missed one in Moscow? thought not.

MOTM for the player who tracks back the most

At least Lukaku will come on today

I have a feeling slowly throughout the season Lampard will have a 'lesser' role in the team and Jose will phase Van Ginkel in.

Same, we have so much attacking class, it'll be a bit disappointing if we restrict them. I have a feeling Jose will let our players enjoy themselves against the so called 'smaller' teams, but against bigger teams we'll have to sit back.

That's that, we're sitting back. We got to make sure our passing is much better on the Counter attack, though. Will be interesting for sure.

Most likely talking about Atsu.

He's a natural born finisher, he will score goals for us.

Nah, he signed Yesterday of course he can. I'll stop.

Neymar not really doing much, he seems too weak.

It's all good sending him out on loan, but will much change this time next year? Mata, Oscar, Hazard, De Bruyne, Schurrle and Willian will still be here.

Although Bayern play Peps Tiki-taka style, if the team is struggling he will revert back to how they were last season. Like the match on Saturday against Nurnberg, that playing style wasn't working and midway through the second half they changed tactics and was much better IMO.

Pretty sure it is...

it's been three fucking games. Judging by some of these posts, you would of thought we lost all three games...

So you're judging Mourinho on pre season matches? its mainly about fitness, Jesus...

Pre season is mainly about fitness.

Do you also prefer to finish 3rd, 20 points behind united? How about losing 4-1 to A.Madrid, 3-0 to Juventus or 3-1 to West Ham?

Chelsea 0 - 0 Man City Chelsea 0 - 0 Fulham West Ham 3 - 1 Chelsea That was Benitez's first three games as Chelsea manager, who would of thought he'll get us top four? not me. Rafa had more than three games to get his ideas across, and so will Mourinho... be patient for gods sack and try not to judge him after three fucking games. And lets not forget we got a point at old trafford, looking at some of these responses you would of thought we got thrashed...

It seems to me Jose thinks Lukaku is a better impact player, Steve Clarke held the same opinion.

Perfect time for Jose to start Lukaku, and i think he will. Cech Ivan - Cahill (Luiz if fit) - Terry - Cole Ramires - Van Ginkel (Doubt he'll start, but one can hope) De Bruyne - Oscar - Hazard Lukaku Experience back line, Fresh, young, fast front six. We need to press and make it hard for United to keep possession, and with this team i think we can do that.
