This is my main worry. That Eden will pull the "I've achieved all I can at Chelsea and would like to move to my dream club" shit and our board will agree to it. I mean, we allowed to two of our best players of recent years in Cech and Mata go to direct rivals because they desired it, we let Lukaku go to another English club, we let De Bruyne go because he desired so. If Eden really states his desire to go I'm not super confident that our club will dig their heels in at all costs. Hope Hazard isn't the type to kick up a fuss.

Did he even get a sniff against Bayern in either leg? I saw both Asensio & Lucas Vasquez got on the pitch instead. Like I've said before, I hope if we get Morata its in addition to Lukaku rather than thought of as our main #9.

True. I just don't even want to think about our team without him next season. How could we replace him? Not to mention the message it sends to everyone that Chelsea can be bullied into selling their best players.

In my eyes, he's asked the question about whether he'll stay at Chelsea about 50 times a season and never says any more than "I'm here now and focused on this season." Why not just for once say "I'll be at Chelsea until the end of my contract," or definitively say "I'm going to stay at Chelsea?" Him always being vague and leaving the question unanswered could be his way of not wanting to upset us supporters by saying he wants to go.

I don't know. For most of this season he's been saying how he's happy here and settled both on the pitch and off. These latest quotes are him basically saying "Yeah, I want to go to Madrid but I have to wait until the season is over to start talking about it." It's a bit like Lukaku's situation where it's clear where his ambitions lie.

I was very confident that he would stay here for next season at least and even sign a new contract, especially if we win the title. After those latest quotes I think he's off 100%. Why on Earth he'd want to go to Real Madrid and be another James or Isco and not even be a guarenteed starter is beyond me but he clearly still desires it. He's the main man at a big club who can challenge for every trophy, earns huge money, and lives in a great city. Why go to Madrid and be just another big name in a sea of about a dozen? Think the only way he'll stay is if we show huge ambition and sign world class players.

I'm calm now. I was more mad watching it than I am afterwards. This can be the necessary kick up the ass our players need to wake up. If this doesn't show our higher-ups that serious investment is needed I don't know what to say. We need some top class, highly technical ball players if we want to improve and take the next step. Too many of our players are poor on the ball.

There are just several players in our XI that should be squaddies and not every match starters. Matic, Pedro, Moses. Thankful for them getting us into this position, but they get exposed far too often. I'm actually starting to look forward to the summer when we can sell Diego one of those Chinese suckers who are willing to pay silly money for him. When he's not scoring goals he's basically a donkey like Andy Carroll on the ball.

I swear we've passed the ball to red shirts more than blue ones today. What the fuck is going on?

We're being humiliated by a Man United second team essentially. With the fucking title on the line our players are shrinking violets. Just embarrassing.

Already seeing "tactical masterclass" all over Twitter. Give me a fucking break! Hand ball leads to a goal and the same player repeatedly fouling our star player with impunity.

Embarrassing first half. Let a 19 year old dominate us and may as well have been playing with 10 men ourselves since Diego is useless.

This is getting absolutely ridiculous now. We can't even make any contact at all with any of their players.

Every little, tiny touch and they get a foul. He's not giving us anything at all.

This ref is shocking! My god!

We've had one of the best defenses in the league all season long and now at the business end of the season we can't defend at all.

Literally the only way they were going to score and they do. AND AN OBVIOUS HANDBALL!

Only positive that can come of the injury is that we have a bit more pace at the back. But ffs, Alonso has been outstanding recently!

For fucks sake!!!

They just showed Alonso going down the tunnel with the medical staff in warm ups.

Luiz and Cahill have to stay 100% switched on for 90 minutes today. Rashford will try to run in behind all day. It's the part of our team I'm most concerned about here.

Mourinho gone for maximum pace in attack with Rashford, Young, and Lingard and maximum thuggery in midfield with both Fellaini and Herrera. Rojo will be under instruction to wind Diego up as much as possible like he did last time no doubt. Pretty relieved that their two best attacking players aren't starting!

Not worried about Bego when it comes to stopping shots with his hands. I'm worried that him hardly ever playing will mess with his distribution since we now play out of the back under Conte. Courtois improved dramatically in this facet this season. Especially since it's pouring rain there, if José instructs his team to press us high that could be a big issue.

Yep, not even bothering watching it. How many times did he mention how rested we are and how defensive we are, and how we are a counter attacking side only? Just look at that sour face in the thumbnail! Haha!

If the worst happens and Spuds do end up catching us up and winning the title I hope at least some people acknowledge that Poch has been there working with essentially the same team for 3 seasons getting his way of playing drilled into them. Their core have worked together for years now and know exactly what to do. This is Conte's first season and he's made loads of changes not just to our personnel but also the way we play. So I hope the entire narrative wouldn't be that Chelsea choked and should be embarrased. When you think about where most people thought we'd be this season (outside of the top 4) then it's crazy we're even in this position to win the title.
