Had Willian started in place of Schurrle, think we would have seen Fabregas took a shot then..

FWIW, I would really love to see Azpi at RB and Luis at LB. Quite desperate to see FBs who can properly attack down the flanks.

If you call that his best, then you must have pretty low expectation for him.

Maybe it's because we were playing against one of the newly promoted teams at their ground where it can be tricky and Mourinho wanted to have that stability in defence by going with the same 4 as last season, especially when he has already made a change in goal. Didn't want to disrupt the dynamic and understanding too much to begin with.

THAT pass and even that backheel in the buildup to the first goal...Just stupendous, brilliant and majestic.

Took his goal well and that really showed why he should be play more often. Offers so much more attacking threat and gives others more passing options as well. And this post summed up Schurrle at the moment. Can just sense this is like a new Schurrle, one who is shining brightly and at the top of his confidence level.

Wow. That was quite something. Thought it was going to be one of those days again(!) when Burnley scored but impressive response and what a performance! It was almost like the one against Hull at the Bridge last season. And that pass from Fabregas for the second goal. Just wow. Wow wow wow. Still can't get over it. Utterly brilliant and majestic. That second goal is exactly why Schurrle should play more often. Have said this many times (others have too), Schurrle is one of the only few players in the squad who actually offers off the movement like that and had Willian started instead of him, that goal wouldn't have happened. Just a stupendous goal all around. And great to see Costa already got his first. It took us till January last season for any of our strikers to score away from home and we already have one in the first away game! On the other hand, the defending for the goal conceded was rather pathetic. The whole team didn't push out as a unit with the players all over the place and then we have someone (not sure who) who took a second too long to step out. We really need to stop giving away such cheap goals!

Chelsea 2-0 Leicester City POST-MATCH DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 2014/15 Premier League Match 2 23rd August, Saturday, 2014 Stamford Bridge 15:00 Kick Off (UK time)

The real Premier League starts tonight. Don't really care too much about the performance in this first game, just get those 3 points!

I believe you have quoted the wrong person..

To just say it's "outdated" is rather vague. Would appreciate it if you can provide the full quotes of what he said.

If you thought our corners were bad... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dalHYxK_xnE :lol: But he also did this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2TK--BzJU8 EDIT: This match was played a few hours ago by the way..

If that happens, we'll be out of the title race before we even get in it. And last season saw us performed unconvincingly for the first half of the season but still managed to get the results and stayed near the top. Then once we picked up the steam in performance as well after that, we nearly won the title.

There's a purpose why I said "if". And besides, even United have won the league with unconvicing performances in most of the 38 games.

I wonder, would anyone really complain if we perform unconvincingly in all of the 38 games but win the league in the end..?

Never mind that. Cech starting tomorrow will probably be enough to send this place into metldown over Courtois.

Juventus are only going with a back 4 because they have a manager who is not an advocate of the back 3 system. And there is more to why Juventus failed to excel in Europe with the 3-5-2 rather than just pinning the blame solely on that formation.

I don't even want to think what is gonna happen here if we don't win on Monday.

Just commenting on the subject for the sake of it, think I would rather take Sigurdsson than Ki, even if they operate in slightly different positions.

Even if that's the truth, it's still not the way to go around saying things like that when he hasn't achieved anything in his career.

Jose Mourinho takes pressure off his players by claiming his team would not be failures if they finished second
