Terry, Mata, Oscar rested - good. But why both - Luiz and Ramires - starting? Hope they dont get any yellow card and hope at least one of them will be subbed off early in the second half.

Cech Azpi - Iva - Cahill - Cole Ramires - Lampard Hazard - Mata - Oscar Ba If we kill the game then early in second half take off Mata for Marin. Don't you guys think that Luiz shoud get some rest? If I'm not wrong he play every game in last month.

Ba to start. Luiz should get some rest. Also I would be glad to see Piazon in the second half if the scoreline will be ok.

That cross yesterday to Ivanovic was terrific. Also that touch by the first goal was great. Now almost every action is played with Mata. I have no doubt that he's actually one of the best players in the Premier League.

I think he could cope here very well not only as short term solution till summer (if his knee will be OK). With Mata, Hazard, Moses, Oscar behind him and with crosses from Azpi he can do a lot of good.

You can tell that it can be Mata, Oscar, De Bruyne etc. Mata maybe will score goals and assists, Oscar and KDB also but I dont think that in the near future anyone can replece Lampard if we talk about how many goals he scores season in season from midfield AND his love and commited to the club and his style of play.

Everyone complaining about his knee but is he was injured since he joined Newcastle? I dont think he have too many problems with that knee recently. He's good in the air, could finish crosses from Azpi and the others.

Tottenham, Norwich, Reading

7mil for him? I wouldnt wait a minute. Get him!

I'm curious what the line-up will be. Some players need rest but this would be a tough game and we need a strong team for this. Baines is an attacking player so Moses could be useful at right wing for counters.

The one on the left its my friend. We call him Villa...

Its a good option for a backup. Especially because Sturridge will leave. Of course he cant be the only striker that wi'll sign in January. Like I said - he can be good for the bench. He is very fast and can be good when cameon in 2nd half especially for counters.

I think that loaning Villa isnt the worst idea. He could be better than Torres. He's a good finisher and all we need is a good finisher. If we cannot bring in Falcao or Cavani in January then it its quite good short-term solution.

Its a important win at a hard place to play. United and Arsenal lost there. Norwich have a very good record at home this season so once again - its pretty good result and important 3 points.

I miss him... Even if we would have Falcao or anyone else, I would still miss him...

Some players need rest, especially when we will play with Norwich just 3 days after game with Villa. Cech Azpilicueta - Cahill - Luiz/Ivanovic - Cole Mikel - Ramires Oscar - Mata - Hazard Torres Mata, Hazard and Torres sub off if we will kill the game in 2nd half.

A little bit shame that that shot from Hazard went on the post, it would be 6-4! But anyway it was a beatiful game

Lindegaard didnt even run for this ;p

What suprised me the most in that Nani's case was Mata reaction. Did you see that? He usually is so calm, but now showed some character

What an exciting match! It was great penalty from Hazard.

I really want him here. We need him. With Hazard, Oscar and Mata we can only imagine what he could do here...

I like that lineup. Moses and Sturridge get a starting spot, few players rested. Good, good

Steve Holland

Sturridge from the start! His back from the injury and if fitness is his problem then we can change him in the second half. And I want to see Marin (at least on the bench)!
