Sir Mikel OBE

The inclusion of mikel not only unleashes mata, but also luiz.

Great lineup.

Every season I spend £2,093.00following Chelsea Its not every day the BBC actually makes you question your life....

I believe that was Nike marketing more than anything else......and Oscar is way too nice to have given up the 10. He deserves that number because that is his role. Neymar would have never asked his buddy Ganso to give that number up.

Pep couldnt manage his way out of a toilet.

Its kind of strange folks are getting defensive when we all but nailed Benayoun to the cross for pretty much saying the same when he was loaned to Arsenal Anyways...no biggie. His heart is in the right place.

They seem in direct competition with each other as judged by the sub just now.

Ashley Young....Jesus Christ

I dont think Mazacar works as an attacking midfield though. Oscar is much better in the middle, and Mata is way too slow and poor defensively to work well on the wings in this league.

If Mikel is not on at least 80k a week after all the time hes been here then he really needs to fire his agent.

Absolute beasting for Brazil right now. The midfield of Gustavo-Paulinho-Ramires is brilliant. Their high workrate not only allows Bernard to cut inside for easy passes with Maicon bombing up the flank, but gives the rest of the attackers ample time to pick out the right person even against a team which has looked to shut up the game. I know its just Australia, but these 3 could do some things next summer.

The Czech Republic is awful. Only Cech and Gebre-Selassie are worth much. Rosicky hang your head in shame

Will there be? I mean, lets not act like we have not sent true talent away before. Robben was swept away in the night before even getting a chance to say goodbye. Malouda, a hero during our double just 2 years earlier, was sent to Rot in the reserves as a guy like Benayoun got first team action a season after saying he didnt give a damn about our club. This is simply business, and the players know that.

Money+ Matuidi. It seems to be ignored, but the pivot isnt quite there yet.

Arsenal becomes dangerous with a ba + Ozil move.

Hope he is ok. He didnt have the best of relationships with his dad, and the Ghanian press use to attack him about it.

Has carried them to the top of the table. Done brilliant.

Do you think that is enough for someone trying to cement a place in probably the most stacked national team?

Don't forget the addition of willian, who many think will make a strong push into the starting line up. Our squad is amazing.

The way he responded to Lukaku after that horrible penalty shows that he is captain material. It's his to lose really.

Brilliant in the first half for large stretches. Really impressed with him.

Essen took off that medal soon as they put it on.

Who takes penalties? Luiz probably first.

Hazard showing love to Lukaku.

Best counter attack I've seen in years.
