0 shots on target. 0. Nil. Zilch. Nada. Still don't understand what people were worried about. What a performance. Most importantly we attacked when needed, we defended solidly when needed. Barely troubled defensively. Hustle and harried the arsenal mid and forwards. A Complete performance. Courtois- except for a cross and coming off his line to gather tje ball, he dint have anything to do. Hope he is well Iva- defensively, a wonderful performance. Stuck with sanchez through out the match. Never let him settlr on the ball. In offense his decision making let hin down twice specially when he could have freed oscar on the wing, rather ended up loosing the ball and taking a yellow. Gc- flawless though i still don't know why he lunged into sanchez the way he did. Except for that solid. Jt- CLL. enough said. Azpi- brilliant performance. Maybe luis is better but if someone reads then pre- match thread after seeing the teams, u would think that we were playing bloody gibbs as a LB. Matic - BEAST. his positional play is just brilliant. Bullied cazorla and was always there to provide cover incasr of a mistake Cesc - ran the game in the first half. Was everwhere.tackling, pressing, winning the ball. And what a ball for the goal. Hazard - the exact moment of magic that was required to turn the game on its head. What a run. Simply brilliant. Had chambers in his pocket .owned the young guy. Oscar - MOTM. WHAT A BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE. how many clearances, tackles and interceptions did he have in our own 3rd. Unreal. Just fabulous from oscar. Linked up well in attack but the sheer running, will and workrate was a beauty to watch. Schurrle- poor decision making. Losing the ball (to his credit he usually got it back). He was in the team as a goal scorer but arsenal dint give us much spave to run in. Willian would have been perfect. Costa- seemed subdued. Not tired but just was not hos best day and still he got a goal. Subs- Cech- comfortable but can someone tell me what exactly he was doing when he let welbeck close hin down!!! Anyways a good performance. Mikel- does what he does best. I would have loved to asl TOPTB if mikel is still in the team simply cos he needs to get his passport or something. Like the commentator said, if ww are 1-0/2-0 up, its a mandatory substitution to have nikel to close the game. Lastly, still can't believe people said that koslolny was WC. I mean the 2nd goal was a normal long ball with 2v1 against costa. That turning into a goal is poor defending.

line ups? come on chelsea!!! lets smash them!!!

hopeless pen... never understood why people dont go the lamps way rather than try to out think the keeper.

if he does not get on the score sheet against united... i ll be shocked. should be bullying mcnair and rojo and everton's mid should be dominating a mid of blind, ADM, valencia and mata.

we as fans are over-confident but i am sure jose will be jose and the players will be anything but over-confident. like any big match, we will be setup not to lose (which is the most essential thing for jose). we will be cautious in our approach for the first 15mins. if arsenal make the BLUNDER of coming all guns blazing and give us the chance to counter, that will set the tone for the match. infact, was not this exactly what happened last season too.

Hahahhahah... I know that feel bro.Munich, bvb, hull, sunderland, valencia, barca, RM, chelsea, whu, benfica, soton (w/d). I put an acc on them.

agree to some extent, but we wont be having 114 points in 38 games. 87 points normally wins the league unless there is another team that has been even better. moreover, city are our only true title rivals, the more points they drop, the better for us.

hopeless weekend... hopefully we can win..

fucking cleverly... literally let yaya run into the D. unchecked!!! cunt!!

villa doing well so far.. very organized. hope benteke comes off the bench and upsets city.

very very different scenarios. what were our defensive options then? JT, DL. thats it. alex was sidelined and sold in the same window as GC was bought. his only competitors were a 30 odd year old JT and a DL who could never cement his place as a CB. things are different in the mid. matic and cesc have just been bought and i cant see them not being our backbone. rambo is a brilliant rotation player. mikel has his uses when closing the game out. dont think shelvey can be used for that. so i cant see him playing in the pivot for us. for CAMs, we already are pretty much set for the long term.

why do we need english players who is the star of some other club (good or bad). our core is ALREADY here. oscar, hazard, willian, schurrle, salah, cesc, matic, rambo, costa. these are players who are 26 or below. what we need our squad and fringe players. and with the talent we have in our youth players, why not give those players a chance?

you are giving wenger way to much respect. after the 6-0 thumping, they lost 3-0 to everton which was as massive a humiliation specially cos arsenal could have lost their 4th spot if everton had not self destroyed. they will play the same way and try to play their attacking brand of football. there is a reason why its been 11 winless matches for the voyuer. i have no doubt its going to be 12th too and that we would win it convincingly.

we have a core of english young players who have the potential. baker, RLC, boga in the CAM position. traore who will be considered as HG. if buying shelvey is mainly cos he will be HG, then that will be a poor decision especially since i cant see swansea selling him for a reasonable fee for a squad player who would barely play for us. also, we have so much talent in our own youth and loaned out players that buying squad players is not the best decision. someone like thorgan can easily take that role, cant he? just feel this is a transfer which has 0 possibility of happenin.

tom cleverly, delph, nolan, parker, heskey, crouch... i mean i could go on and on and on. why do we need shelvey and to replace whom?

i reply to post about chelsea cos i love the club unlike people who just want to crib about our team. also, atleast i am not some glory hunter whose joining date is 23rd may 2012, 4 days after our CL win!!! this is the 2nd time he has come up with the "go and tell your mama" stupidity. i mean iran is hardly a pure and pious country. should i be replying his racial comments with racism from my side or what am i supposed to do? anyways, tired of talking to a person who thinks we had a "circus of a performance" and that GKs are helpless and useles 99% of times?

all i hear is a baby crying... waah waah waah!!!! god your life must seriously suck for u to take out all your frustration and pent up energy on this site. and make stuff up? so i am making stuff up that patricio STOPPED the costa 1v1, the oscar 1v1, the salah 1v1, that he intercepted the thru ball that matic played to costa outside his own box? LOL-MAX man... now i am not even sure that u saw the match. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2775711/Jose-Mourinho-heaps-praise-Sporting-Lisbon-s-Rui-Patricio-keeper-stops-Chelsea-scoring-four-five-goals.html JOSE must be a "blind mule" too then?

their fans are actually "DELUDED". chelsea fans and united fans are pre-warned them about basel but apparently nothing can stand in the way of a the LOLpool juggernaut!!!

agree about xaVi. not so about xaBi.

Oh so keepers do make a difference? I dint know!!! I rhought 99% of time they were redundant. :lol:I mean all patricio did was SAVE 4 1v1 and put a great tackle to stop costa from reaching a thru ball from matic.So that somehow makes it as an average night for the guy Maybe a blind mule could indeed SEE that we missed chances but an intelligent human being could as easily see how good the GK was. Well, eaxh to his own specie then. . We will let the mods decide that.

i claimed cech was the main reason. u said cech was one of our best players... woooowwww what a massive difference!!! the cech point was made to make a simple point get inside the hollow thing on the top of your head that GKs can affect games too sometimes. like cech did for us against barcelona and bayern. like patricio did for lisbon last night. unfortunately, to much strain for the thing u call a brain. and of all the AWESOME COMMENTS u have made, this one takes the cake man. that keeper had nothing to do with it for 99 percent of the time. now i actually get an insight of how u think. so its simply not worth it. "we were fucking wasteful..waaaaahhh"... sounds like a broken tape-recorder. as for the racial content of me "worshipping cows" i am gonna report u. so thanks a lot!!!

what happened?

TURAN!!!!!!!!!!! come on!!!!

oh dear mother of god!!!! http://forum.talkchelsea.net/topic/18970-sporting-lisbon-chelsea/?p=993725 http://forum.talkchelsea.net/topic/18970-sporting-lisbon-chelsea/?p=993754 http://forum.talkchelsea.net/topic/18970-sporting-lisbon-chelsea/?p=993795 its like talking to a monkey. a dumb monkey. where exactly did i say he was the only player? please... please tell me that. another brilliantly LOL comment. also the analogy was to prove the part the GK played. read the post where i bring in cech. sometimes, a GK having a WC performance means a world of difference. ps - sanchez was 1v1 when he hit the side netting. cech had the near post covered. go and watch the match again rather than sounding idiotic.
