People, we just lost at home to Bournemouth. What on earth makes you think we have a realistic chance of winning the Europa League?!

Did someone say Mick McCarthy?

Yeah, but at least now we can condescendingly tell future Chelsea fans "Where were you when we were shit?!"

Fingers crossed then

Said this in post match thread, but we really are lucky to be in 14th. 15 points after 15 matches usually puts you in the bottom 3.

Slightly at fault for the goal, but we would have been a couple down by HT if it weren't for him.

My opinion has not changed since the new poll was put in place. I wanted him sacked in October when we could still make top 4 if we turn it around. But that has obviously been long gone so there is no point sacking him before the end of the season. If we are still in bottom 7 or 8 come Jan/Feb, then sack him to avoid a relegation battle.

Probably the saddest part is that we're lucky to be in 14th. 15 points after 15 matches usually puts in the bottom 3, bottom 5 at most. Yeah, I think it would be a fun thing to say 20 years from now. "Hey, remember when we won the league then got relegated the season after?" On a serious note, as a Juve fan, I genuinely sort of enjoyed our season in the Serie B. It was a different experience. It also made the entire Juve fanbase a lot more down to earth, the later successes much sweeter, and our relations with the players who did stay and help the team very much different. But of course, relegation at Chelsea would be calamitous to the club's future and our chances of reaching successes after regaining promotion like Juve did would be VERY slim.

Anyone else wants to see us relegated just for the laughs?

How the hell does Robinho get on there? He looks sooo out of place!

He looks a thousand times more Belgian than Arab!

Cahill is a weird one because he does have the pace to do well in a high line defense. I don't understand why no one has been able to coach him how to do better with his positioning and decision making. Also, I've seen Christensen playing a high line a few times for Gladbach so far and he looks promising. He's got the pace and awareness but best of all he looks so comfortable on the ball.

Could try to turn it into a chant as well

Think it's still speculation.

I was being sarcastic and making fun of the usual excuses for Diego's awful behavior thus highlighting the hypocrisy and moral inconsistencies of most Chelsea fans regarding Costa.

Is he? Jose said first 15 days of December.

No, the role of any player in a game is what the manager asks him to do. Which Oscar did against Tottenham. Just let it go....

Defensive or offensive doesn't matter and is completely irrelevant to the discussion here. He played his role very well in the game and thus had a good performance in that particular game. As I said, I don't have an agenda for or against Oscar so what I was saying was about that game alone not him in general.

He's been excellent since coming back into the side in the past couple of matches. His performance against Spurs was his best for us in a long while, imo.

For playing his tactical role in a tactical game very well from pressing and defending very well to knowing when to drop and when to make a run on attack. Jose and the team must have worked on that system very hard all week and the front four, for the most part, implemented it very well in the game.

Haha

I have no agenda for or against Oscar. When he does badly as he has often this season I criticize him just as I did against Tel Aviv when he was awful despite the goal. But I also have no issue with praising his performance when he does well like yesterday.

Come on, you know that is not true or at the very least incredibly exaggerated. Everyone, but particularly the front four, worked very hard in defense. He was good in offense as well, especially in the first half. His movement was good and he knew when to make a run and when to drop and receive the ball. And he did attempt a few through balls, I distinctly remember a couple to Hazard and Pedro. So let's be fair here.
