Why then Kenedy on LB?

Watford have strong striker duo in Deeney and Ighalo. This is their main threat, if we can stop those two, we will win the game. I'd start with Zouma and Terry in central back partnership, Zouma has enough pace and physical attributes to stop quick strikers while Terry has more tactical awareness and better positioning. Also Matic and Ramires in midfield are must. Ramires will track back and Matic is a wall.

First game after sacking Scolari in 2009, Chelsea 3-1 Watford. Then Hiddink took over. First game after sacking Mourinho in 2015, Chelsea 3-1 Sunderland. Then Hiddink took over. Let's hope the end result will be the same as the first time around.

I'd play

Is it just me or is Guus more well spoken than most native speakers/managers?

True. The most important thing is Chelsea win, but I still find it disgusting how players have acted.

I understand where you are coming from. I'm of course happy with the win, but the performance they have showed today (few days after sacking of Jose) and last game against Leicester are like heaven and hell. Totally different, you can't play that much better and turn your performance around in few days.

Watching Chelsea players today

What a shame. Thank your for everything Jose.

I have a feeling we will go through.

What a shit game.

Good.

If this performance doesn't get Baba start this weekend then nothing will. Absolutely fantastic! Pure joy watching those crosses... And Willian... just wow... best free kick taker in the world at the moment. Great win! Come on Chelsea!!!

Best free kick taker in the world at the moment.

And we want Benitez back so we can win Europa League next season?

Hazard was awesome today! I'll take the 3 points. Come on Chelsea!

Well they did produce them, because they became the players they are today in Shakhtar. If they didn't move to Donetsk we wouldn't ever hear of them probably.

Sign this guy, we badly need goal scoring midfielder since Lampard left/started decling. Shakhtar produces some great players - Costa, Fernandinho, Willian, Mkhitariyan to name a few... He will tear up the PL.

1) Switch to 4-3-3 formation. 2) Sell players that don't want to play for this team/manager. Even if they're our best players. No hard feelings. 3) Start choosing players based on their performances and hunger and not on their reputation/names. 4) Integrate youth - especially RLC, Kennedy. 5) Buy central back (no need to explain why), box to box midfielder to play beside Matic and striker that is more time in the box rather than fighting opponents. I'd play this if I was a manager:

Awesome finisher. Good striker. Just what we need.

Keep Mourihno. Buy more 'leaders'. Don't panic sell all our players, but get rid of the shite. Play more youth players. Keep the Blue Flag Flying High.

I think a lot of the fans wouldn't be so angry with Mourinho if he actually played young players. I'd be okay with not playing in CL for one season if that meant that our young players would play in our starting team. Look at United, they are playing Lingard instead of Depay, for example. RLC is a big, big talent and it would be shame if we wasted him.

We are actually playing better from game to game. We're attacking, keeping the ball and creating actions. The biggest problem I've notice tho, is that there are no players in the box when they need to be. I can't say how many times I've noticed Willian/Hazard running down the wing yesterday and at the moment when they should pass or cross into the box, they don't. Why? Because there is no one in the box. Costa is usually on the wing or running into the box when he should be in there already. The only thing that is left for Willian or Hazard to do is run up to the corner flag or pass the ball backwards. And that's how a chance is wasted. If you look at Remy, he actually makes those correct runs and moves in the box. He isn't late as Costa is. In my opinion, we should play Remy more often until Costa learns what he needs to do in attack.

These are the exact same reasons I've voted "No."
