Sir Mikel OBE

Shocking team selection. Counter attacking against this side without even having a go at them for a half is pathetic.

I actually liked what he was wearing.....so bad its good

Do I get this match if I have ChelseaTV?

RIP Kyle.

What happens when Lampard leaves Oscar alone in the midfield then? Surely we would concede a goal.

My god Hazard is awesome!!!!

Ivanovic and Hazard!!!

I wouldnt quite complain about the defenders being out there just yet. If Wigan are anything like they were nearing the end of last season then it might be necessary. Bringing in 1 attacking starter, who has never played in this league, does not change that one bit.

FFS Werder Bremen didnt just send us an empty basket did they?

This game(terrible as it was) aside am I the only person who sees he really does not like not being played on the wings. His whole demeanor seems to change when he is in the midfield.

He is starting RW for Brazil....Perhaps we have given up on him playing the spot too quickly?

Marseille are going to come into the talks tomorrow with a big grin on their face.

If Mikel were even remotely Offensive then we would have lost this by 3 goals. He is being exposed because the other side of the pivot is spending more time in the attacking box than our actual striker. It is no mistake he looked better in the second half when we were a man down, and Lampard was practically forced to stay back in the pivot next to him.

Has had a poor preseason. The red today was just the icing on the cake. If Azpilicueta is remotely good, and madrid are still knocking around December, then I would not be upset with him being shipped off provided we got some money and perhaps Sahin.

Good things happen when you shoot. I hope sturridge is starting against wigan.

At least Ashley seems to care. The rest look like zombies out there.

The slaughter is on now....whatever.

Me thinks Torres likes this style of play

We need a right back, but we've known that all summer. This may b blasphemy on here, but being perfectly honest Branislav has not been really up for it this preseason IMO.

I would definitely have someone like a Sahin here, and I hear he is available for loan. Loan to buy option would be nice.

Havent seen torres in a good while now....

Its shocking how much better Yaya Toure and De Jong are compared to our pivot.

wow Mikel got caught there.

I heard the kid opened his scoring account today.

Play him through the middle. His vision is simply amazing!
