@Beepu always keeping the avatar fresh, eh? Maybe you should expand into the neglected world of C-Pop next?

He has the soul of a playmaker. His passing at times is quite impressive.

He should have been getting minutes after his loan to Watford. Bloody hell.

Who actually cares? He can do whatever he wants to. I'd celebrate like a madman if I scored a goal like a against Chelsea. That team is out there to beat me, I'm out there to beat them. Forget the sentimentality of it all, the only people who will get upset are anally retentive people on the internet typing abuse and drunk bastards up in the stands hurling vitriol. I'd put myself, my gains and my career over any club, especially a lot of fans and most would just as quickly boo me as they would cheer me. I wouldn't insult anyone or stir shit up but I'd celebrate when good things happen to me. I wouldn't be upset if Fabregas celebrated against Arsenal, nor would I be upset if Mata celebrated against Chelsea. I've got bigger things to worry about like scratching my arse.

Things I took away from the game: Everton are a very formidable team, with incredibly talented wingers. More so than I thought, their position much like Chelsea doesn't reflect their talent. Mirallas somehow always impresses me when I see him. I only watch his good games strangely. Lukaku offers nothing except goals and offensive production. When the goals go, so does he. The second half was better for everyone on the Chelsea side. Even Ivanovic, actually some decent blocks from him. Shades of the ability they actually have. Cesc Fabregas' long passes need Diego Costa running onto them. Remy can't do it. Pedro doesn't fit this team or power and size of English football. Mikel and Oscar are fairly tenacious duo. They aren't nearly as bad as people make out. Kenedy is a damned livewire. He is everywhere at once. He isn't afraid to make a dribble into the defence too. If the team played like this more often we'd be a much happier set of supporters. Shades of Mourinho in the first half, shades of the new Chelsea in the second. Only time can mend this. Very fun second half to watch. Not the best result but stolen a point thanks to the Skipperino.

Lampard, the great Judas, the great betrayer; coming to watch his old club in his time off. What a plastic scumbag though.. Jokes!

At least the players didn't give up when the fans did, eh? Always remember this is a game of twists and turns. Never assume and never expect!

Bull fucking shit. This isn't some underdog team, they played like a legit world class team during the title winning season. Stagnating tactics, burnt out players and poor transfers led to this mess. This season is the anomaly not the title winning season.

Hate the club. Hate the team. Hate the tactics. Hate the manager. Hate the owner. But most importantly I hate the sport. Goddamn soccerball, flopping and diving all over a green field.

At least I have half a tub of Vick VapoRubTM up my nose. You bastards can't say the same. Have fun with your shitty match with no eucalyptus and menthol goodness.

Mirallas is 15cm taller than Pedro. Geez, cut the guy some slack, he showed tenacity to go up against someone considerably larger than him. He fucked up but at least it's something.

Fucking run faster than m8, get off your phone and get into the match.

He is big and he is black. He wears number 10 on his back. 90% cacao Belgian chocolate, baby.

If they could position themselves correctly and retain possession their speed wouldn't be an issue. They don't though.

He is just a rubbish player really. Not talented enough offensively to be a winger or defensively to be a fullback. Maybe he'd be good in a team that absolutely dominates possession but there are better choices out their for offensive fullbacks. Just another case of people being blindly optimistic about the clubs youth, I suppose.

Eh, I'm not too sure about that. He may look better going forward as a fullback because he gets a lot more space coming from deep. He might not get enough room as a winger.

I haven't seen an individual performance as bad as Kirchoff's for a long time.

Pato is preferably; on his accord a winger. A wide-forward, if you will; capable of playing as a centre. It has been reiterated constantly. Pato would cover several positions if signed, limiting time to both the younger strikers and wingers.

Who actually cares where the manager has been? Bloody Ashley Cole is a legend here and he was an Arsenal lad, Lampard was from West Ham. etc. It's completely arbitrary and irrational. Concerning Garcia; Mourinho was also sacked when he became a Chelsea coach as was Benetiz and Robbie di Matteo. The same 'huge budget and better players' applies to Garcia as well as Simeone. Cholo is one of the best manager in the world, but I don't like his style, I'm sick of this physical nonsense purveyed by coaches like him and Mourinho. Those managers are proven they've all been around for 7+ years, not every manager signed has to have the pedigree of Ancellotti or Guardiola. Simeone is also a risk. Any manager is a risk, any transfer is a risk.

Pep, Pellegrini, Sampaoli, de Boer, Emery, Garcia, Conte or even Rogers.

I meant new as in a new approach, not over physicality and aggression; both hallmarks of Simeone and Mourinho. I said 'something new' not 'someone new'. So you replied to me in the completely wrong manner ayy lmao Besides, Simeon has spent a ridiculous amount of money in the last few seasons, so I don't I see him as a 'shoestring manager'. Chelsea aren't as skint as people believe, the club isn't and won't be for a long time at a point where it can only spend money when it sells or whatnot. Chelsea aren't an underdog, that is the belief Mourinho instilled in the team [to seemingly the point where they grew tired of it], they are one of the richest clubs in England and are expected to win or at the very least challenge every year. The players know they aren't underdogs, so why does even factor in?

Simeone draws too many comparisons to Mourinho for my taste. Both talented managers, but I'd like to see something new.

Yaya was not at his peak then. For some unknown reason people had it in their minds Yaya was a CB or a DM. It wasn't until he was allowed to be a lazy fuck that scores goals and dominates in attack did he reach his peak. 2013-2015 Toure is one of the best players you'd see int he modern game. He was completely reborn at Manchester.
