Given PSG's threat on the counter and how well they keep possession, I fully expect Jose to park the double decker here.

Chelsea : Matic Premier league: Sanchez/Aguero tied

I take it you were a fan of Meireles.

We went from miereles and mikel to this guy. Let that sink in for a bit.

Another Oscar vs willian debate. Typical. Can't we just enjoy and appreciate his great run of form and the winning goal?

Was that Matic's best performance for us? I think so. at worst, it's as good as the stoke one.

That was save of the season. It would take something extremely special to top that. He does it every season. his save against chicharito two seasons ago is still one of the best saves I have ever seen.

I can't believe I left him out. Hazard was brilliant as well.

Wow what a climax. I'm split between cech and willian for my MOTM.

Knight his man. Sir willian

Willian ya beautyyyyyy

That was poor from remy

My god Cech. thank you

Why are we not getting bodies on the box ffs

The way this game is going what we need is a player that can score from long range. Everton aren't going to allow us work the ball into their net and they are not giving us many opportunities to counter them

Was it intentional

Remy's link up play is just a joy to watch. Hazard, cuadrado,willian and zouma playing really well

We have looked much more creative and vibrant tonight. Honestly the more I see remy, the more im baffled as to why he hasnt played more games

This is a flawless line up. Everything considered.

It's ironic to me that those who condemn the use of statistics as a reliable and accurate means of objective anaylysis are also the ones who are quick to throw oscar's & goals and 6 assists in a debate. In otherwords, stats is only reliable and useful when it suits their argument. Imo The main and most important stats for a playmaker/AM are key passes, chances created as it's the most relevant benchmark for creativity which is the primary task of an AM. also people always fail to recognize the importance of clinical finishers or lack thereof in a team in relation to assist as it takes two to tango so to speak . An overwhelming majority of the best, most creative passes don't often get converted. if player A creates far more clear cut chances but is surrounded by poor finishers and i.e records comapratively low assist figure and player B creates less clear cut chances but assists more goals due to having superior and more clinical teammates and striker(s), who is the better attacking midfielder of the two? When comparing attacking midfielders, these factors needs to be accounted for. goals and assist is far to simplistic and doesn't necessarily reflect a player's creativity and all round consistency.

Lukaku never had kane's technical ability and all round play though. Kane is the striker that doesn't need to score in order to contribute. So even if the goals dry up, He will still be a very useful player to any team and in any system.

I think it's ramires, willian, oscar and Ivanovic. Matic isn't in the pic

It would be a shame if he loses his place to Cuadrado because I believe he's an attacking midfielder being played out of position on the wing. Him and Oscar should fight it out for the starting spot in the middle.

This is an excellent post. I really enjoyed reading it.
