I would play Mata, Oscar, and Willian behind Torres because I think Mata and Willian earned a starting spot with their performance against Arsenal. Hazard didn't do great against City and should be rotated out but Schurrle has been playing great and I wouldn't mind him playing ahead of Mata or Willian.

Was worried in the second half but the squad stepped up defensively and played very well. Very fortunate to get the second goal but a great win none the less.

I agree. The biggest problem i have with this forum is that the standard for posting is incredibly low. I go to a few different team forums and even though there is a lot of bad posts in each, this forum seems to do the least to discourage bad posts. If its a transfer thread, people post random sources from twitter or don't even say where they got the quote from. if its a player thread, every other response is just "he is awful" or "we should sell him" This is part of the rules for a basketball forum I go to and I think this forum would benefit a lot by encouraging the same things Of course, there are bad posts at that forum too, but the moderators are quick to tell the person to improve their posting habits or just ban them if they continue.

This is a little unrelated but the "View New Posts" button doesn't appear on the forum index any more since the new buttons for Chat and Donate were added It pops up once you click into a sub forum but I always used it directly from forum.talkchelsea.net

Wonder if we asked for him to not be included again

Being outplayed, fortunate to be ahead.

Sturridge deserves a start if he is healthy. Would like to see Moses - Oscar/Mata - Hazard behind him.

Ramires and Romeu in midfield should be fun to watch listen to.

He did very well today. Hope RDM keeps him in there instead of on the wings.

Fair result. Hope Romeu and sturridge get a start when he's healthy. Mikel was awful and another mediocre performance by Torres.

Welcome to Chelsea Mata! Torres needs to start texting Modric now.

Torres and Ramires were great in the first half. Kalou and Malouda played as poorly as expected.
