If he say mistimes it or catches it wrong with his foot and it deflects or he changes the direction of the shot and puts Thibaut off then he's made a mistake and cost us a goal so I can get the thought process of going for it with his chest to be honest. The way he went at it, if it hits his chest its only going to fall in front of him as opposed to the chance if he goes to try kick it away and say miskick it or effectively miss it, it could go in or go anywhere. I know it doesn't make much sense but he could of went to kick it totally fuck it up and end up scoring a comical own goal or something. I mean I've never scored an own goal quite like that but you know... I've scored own goals and you think after what the fuck did I try do that for haha.

If he is injured and is missing for a few games I don't think we will see a huge difference to be honest because teams have went to mark him in certain games but there will be a bit of a difference. Still I think Oscar and Matic are more than capable of running the game in central midfield but we will see. Its injuries like this one which sometimes leave me wondering what if Oscar and Matic don't control the games as well as Cesc does? Not having a direct replacement for Cesc is a bit difficult but we will see if he really is out injured for a few games, Ramires brings something different to the table though so if he does play next to Matic and Oscar continues to play as he does in tandem with Cesc and Matic, Rami's runs in more advanced areas could give teams a different issue to face. Although wasn't Ramires also not meant to have played through an injury too?

He strikes me very much as a confidence player who needs to be playing a run of games, even when he was playing the second half of last season you could see he was doing alright because he had a consecutive games or was constantly subbed in. Honestly Moses is the same, when playing regularly he's getting minutes and feeling confident doing things hes not like someone who can come off the bench and completely change a game if he hasn't been playing for a while, hes just not that good to do so. Someone like Hazard or Oscar can do that say if they've been injured and return you know they are back because the jump in quality is noticeable. People forget Salah is still young, he has a lot of potential and has a lot of ability to be fair. Remember the run around he gave us and Spurs in the Champions League and Europa League? Hes a very clever attacking player who has had a decent football education is Switzerland with Basel, he just needs to be playing more regularly to get into a run of games and form. Who gives a fuck if he sells a lot of shirts or not, Chelsea don't buy players just to sell shirts, they buy players to play for Chelsea and contribute in a footballing way first and foremost.

I remember a few months back when the 2013/14 season finished and we had all this talk about how we could have won if we didn't sit back and play so defensive and people were calling for Jose's head saying City played brilliant football or Liverpool played good football or whatever but I think this season you see just how good Jose really is in terms of making a team with variation and different ways of winning games. There is no one way to play football, the difference is Liverpool can only play if teams let them play and the same with City because they chose to play one way. Also look at City's transfer window? Would you say they've improved? 32M for a center half who has looked out of sorts? Fernando right enough was a decent buy but Toure is continuing to do what he does best: leave spaces in central areas. Liverpool's transfer window was embarrassing too really, who out of their new signings are worth the money? None of them really. Rodgers' transfer record since going there has been pretty bad to be honest, over 200M since getting there and he has bough one player that has been good: Sturridge. The point I'm trying to make as well, when we won the title under Jose in his first year, we strengthened signing players, again we finished 3rd last season and we strengthened in where we needed. We win the title this season and I bet he will still strengthen the team. Best manager in the world. Its a fact.

Obviously he's not been a regular since signing but its not like he didn't know what he signed up for, why would he want a loan? If he wanted to start every week and have it easy at a mid table team he would of went to Liverpool and not push himself as hard to get games.

Roy Keane wasn't world class? I'm sorry this is the guy who was assigned to man mark Zinedine Zidane... fucking Zizou of all people... and did very, very well, nulifiying him which was a big big factor as to how United beat Juventus and got to the Champions League final. Roy Keane was definitely a world class footballer in those days. Anyway about time Gary scored a goal....

He was obviously marked in the game today, Rodgers even stated in a interview somewhere after the game he wanted to man-mark Fabregas to null his influence. Anyway it wasn't the big games we had to improve on from last season remember, it was the smaller teams we played that set up to frustrate us that fucked us for the title, so if he doesn't score 23 goals, create 310 goals and make 49649 tackles in a big game (or whatever your 'crazy' expectations are even when you consider he was an Arsenal player who more or less struggled in big games 9 times out of 10) I don't mind because he does alright and he makes the difference in the smaller games, which is where we struggled last season.

Yeah I meant 2014 haha stupid keyboard

Well that is a load of shit. If a team has set out with a gameplan that is to man mark a player like Fabregas and the marker is doing it well then he is gonna struggle to impose himself as much. In other games Oscar and Matic have controlled the game in phases when Fabregas has been marked tightly and they continued to do so today. Lets be honest, hes played worse in big games for Arsenal than he has done for us, his mentality for the bigger games has improved under Pep, Tito and Martino at Barca and even at Chelsea now he seems to be better equipped to play in bigger games and he is a much more mature footballer.

I can remember questioning resigning this guy back in January 2014 but holy fuck, I think hes been Jose's best buy since returning to the club. What a player..

They should of got a blatant penalty at the end but they didn't so its even better ha. Well deserved victory though, obviously. Liverpool are shite.

Muller would actually be an extraordinary signing (although that sounds cheesy haha), love how he plays, hes not a glamourous footballer who beats people for fun like Hazard or plays brilliant passes like Cesc but hes effective, a grafter, can play different positions and the one thing that impresses me the most is how he sees the game and finds space where others wouldn't. I can't believe he turned us down after the 2010 World Cup, he would of been a great signing. Pity hes probably gonna be at Bayern for most of his career.

I have to disagree about the last part, he's been pretty solid defensively other than tonight's goal and when Zaha somehow skipped past him to set up whoever it was who scored Palace's goal a few weeks ago, the only problem is when you're a defender and you make a mistake or get beaten in the box it usually ends up costing your team.

Big game so Ivanovic will have a stormer and people will think hes the Serbian Cafu which in reality is quite possible because hes normally brilliant in the big games. Expecting Hazard to score too and Cesc will make Steven Gerrard look very shite. Beating Liverpool at Anfield is always fun isn't it?

City struggling is no surprise. Most teams in Europe play 4231 or 433 and Pellegrini sets City up to play 442, they're outnumbered in midfield and not to mention they have poor defensive organization and whoever is partnering Yaya Toure mostly has to do double the work due to a lack of awareness and laziness. Pellegrini will be gone next season, even if he wins a trophy this year because of the terrible European campaign they've had, so much was said about him being very good tactically but hes not that great. Mancini's team might not have been as open and didn't score as many goals but they had balance.

Not a great first half but to be fair we stepped it up second half and should have won but still we're unbeaten all season, we are incredibly difficult to beat even if we play badly because we can score goals from set plays and open play as well and then add being difficult to break down at times.

If Remy wasn't unfit he'd have not started so its ok, he won't play a lot of games this season. Diego should've started but we have Liverpool at the weekend so I understand why Didier started but confused as to why he stayed on so long.

Quite frankly who cares we won the game 2-0, ruined their title hopes and a few months later Suarez was at it, biting someone again and quite frankly he should have got a longer ban for it being his third offence. Cunt.

Hes a good young player, definitely worth keeping an eye on because in 2 years or so he will be far too good for Liverpool if they keep going on the way they have been this season but I am yet to see him put in a performance against someone like ourselves or Man City where he makes the difference, you know? Doing it against Everton or Tottenham or Aston Villa or Hull or whoever is alright but I was less convinced by him when we played Liverpool both games last season and even one of the games against City as well he didn't look like much special. If hes really a top top young player he needs to do it in the biggest games against the biggest teams.

Hopefully we fucking stuff these cunts. Hate Harry Redknapp and I really really fucking hate QPR.

Robben, Ballack and Mata. Not giving Ballack a contract renewal was the start of our problems in midfield in my eyes, the guy had everything; power, positional sense, he was a leader, great in the air, good passer, scored goals, could tackle and most of all he didn't mind sacrificing his own game so we could get the best out of other players who played higher up where he would have prefered too at times (mainly Lamps), a real team player. Robben could have been one of the best players in modern Chelsea history if he had stayed but you only get one chance to go to Real Madrid and the grass wasn't greener in all truth for him. Mata could have also been one of our best players of modern times if he had stayed but he went so I can't say much else.

Pique is a good defender, maybe not the best out there but he is hardly worse than Cahill. Hes been out of sorts this year but I've been reading that he isn't a regular under Luis Enrique, also I don't feel he suits a very high line due to his lack of pace. He'd be a good signing here, he is a good defender, we don't play a very high line and he is very comfortable on the ball. 23M or whatever would be a decent deal in my eyes, for someone who has won absolutely everything he can win.

'No better than Cahill' cmon.......... seriously?

Really have high hopes for Thorgan, he seems to be doing well at Mochengladbach. Hopefully he will be here at Chelsea next season or if thats too soon the year after, really was skeptical about his signing due to the fact we'd just gotten Eden too and I thought it was just because we'd sigmed Eden but I can really see him playing in our first team soon, he looks a great player in the making.
