The interviewer sounds exactly like Gigi Salmon. Can't be her, can it?

This is just brilliant: https://www.youtube.com/embed/0m_4yNQAFkg

Rafa has balls..

Looked like a hamstring injury. Could be lengthy.

Any news on his injury? They said it was a "slight" ankle injury. By previous experiences it probably means he'll be out for a couple of months!

Made up for that miss with the great work he did defending the last few corners.

Contract renewal confirmed by Rafa: http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/8418045/Ashley-Cole-set-to-sign-new-Chelsea-contract-this-week-Rafael-Benitez-confirms

Thought he was very good today. There was an incident in the first half were he beat Walcott for pace and put in a tackle that was just brilliant.

It kind of went under the radar, but his assist for the first goal was ridiculously accurate!

He has to realize that we are not that can just sit back and concede possession, not when we have players like Mata, Hazard and Oscar on. Every time we are ahead at HT, he asks the whole team to drop 10-15 feet and we end up getting screwed.

Arsenal fans are actually blaming the ref and one of them actually said that it was not a pen! -We should have had a pen inside 30 secs -Their keeper (won't try to spell his name) should have been sent off for their goal -Yes there was foul right before our first goal, but the exact same happened before their goal -The were give a couple of dangerous FK that were never a foul by Cole. Classless moaners just like their manager.

Would've been happy with any result. Tottenham were the better side, by far.

While Loris should have done much better for manu's goal. Still not convinced he should be starting ahead of Freidel.

On a side note: double over Arsenal!

Rami my MOTM. Cech close second. Hazard was brilliant as well.

Bloody hell, that was nerve-wrecking! MASSIVE win. GET INNN!!! :cfc: :blue scalf:

2-0 is great, but not enough. The game against Southampton proved that. Need to keep the pressure in midfield. One thing worth noting is, the pivot of Lamps and Rami is doing great.

Was that a pen? Looked like a foul to me!

Even that slight change takes lots of work in training and with us playing every 3 days, that's just not an option. I agree about Oscar on the wing but starting Marin will just be too much pressure on him. He almost got sent off in his first league start and that was against QPR.

Yes.

Changing formation before a big match like this is far from ideal. Players need some time to adjust. Luiz has a slight ankle injury. Won't get into why I think starting him the pivot in a game like this would be suicide. I am a fan of Marin, but he has hardly got any minutes, you can't throw him, in his second start in the PL, against Arsenal. Rafa would have been slaughtered had he done that. Point is, our squad is thin, atm. Any line up will look weak. Thankfully, their line-up is weakened as well. Let's just hope for the best.

Ankle injury. Not that I'd play him in the pivot if he were fit.

What other options do we have?
