If we can't even beat Crystal Palace at HOME, we should just relegate ourselves from the Premier League!

Just a note, next weekend - Manchester City v Arsenal and Tottenham v Liverpool. We have Crystal Palace at HOME. Must take advantage!

As Harry mentioned above, the FA Cup 3rd round draw will take place tomorrow at 4pm UK time. http://www.thefa.com/news/the-fa-cup/2013/dec/fa-cup-third-round-draw-preview

The Champions League Last 16 draw will take place on 16th December (Monday).

Sometimes, it's just hard find to reason to excuse him of his brainfart moment like today. Only not too long ago, he allowed a weak shot to went past him against West Brom and now this. Had he stayed in his normal position and doubt we would have lost the game at all. The blunder totally swung the game in Stoke's favor.

Such a shame that whenever someone score 2 great goals like that, especially the second one, we go on to mess things up and lose the game. Just ..

It's difficult when we keep giving cheap goals away (and we have been doing that A LOT this season). Oppositions hardly ever have to work hard these days to even put one goal past us. And the ball will already be in the back of the net before Cech knows it.

Looking at the stats, we only conceded 7 shots on target in the last 3 games (1 vs Southampton, 3 vs Sunderland and 3 vs Stoke) and we let in 7 goals from those shots. Abysmal!

Outplayed by Stoke in the second half? I know we screwed things up then but to say we were outplayed is ridiculous. Stoke did nothing special. They just improved on their performances from the first half, defended deep like most teams do against us and then score 2 goals from 2 moments of individual brilliance from counter attacks. We did nothing of note in the second half, but so did Stoke. They just had more luck and things going for them. Such comments are laughable really. One week, we play well, win comfortably and they say we will challenge for the title. We look strong and going in the right direction bla bla bla. Lose one game like this and it's suddenly 'Chelsea are in crisis' or 'Chelsea are in trouble'. Pathetic!

Tragic. Tragically comedy and appalling at the same time. Should have been out of sight in the first half after we completely dominated the first half, created all the chances but we decided to mess things in the final third with the lack of incisiveness and decisiveness. At times, it looks as if we were completely overpassing it and all the players did not want to shoot when they can and wanted to be the goal provider instead. And then, in true typical Chelsea fashion, we went and pressed the self destruct button. Stoke, LITERALLY, did not even threaten us one bit until Cech decided to be a santa claus and hand them a goal and guess we were then still showcasing the continuation on how not to defend properly from set pieces following the defensive debacle on Wednesday. To concede 6 goals in 4 days; 3 each against team struggling at the bottom is just abysmal especially when 4 of them shouldn't even be happening! It would be an understatement to say we are unpredictable and inconsistent right now. We are Jekyll and Hyde!

Oh gawd. This is just absolutely pathetic. Dominated the entire first half, created tons of chances but not incisive and decisive enough in the final to increase our lead and suddenly Stoke are leveled out of nowhere when they didn't threaten one bit. What was Cech doing for the goal?! Why on earth are we looking vulnerable from set pieces?! It's like watching us playing under Scolari again!

Agree with your point on Cahill but that Adebayor goal did not come because we were playing a high line. It happened because Cahill was showing his usual self in backing off players when they run at him.

Mourinho's indirect way of saying; Luiz has no future at Chelsea with me, he's gone in January.

Played some wonderful stuff tonight going forward but defensively, we were atrocious. To concede 3 goals from set pieces is abysmal! :banghead: Otherwise, Hazard was exceptional tonight. Scored 2 great goals. The challenge for him is to keep this up. Must improve consistency!

Chelsea team to face @SAFCofficial: Cech, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry ©, Azpilicueta; Ramires, Lampard; Willian, Mata, Hazard; Torres.

Funny how the media always ask Mourinho why he isn't playing the likes of Mata, De Bruyne etc but then somebody like Bertrand or even Azpi before this weren't asked about.

No problem mate.

Nope. Yet to see one given it just finished a few hours ago. That 'BluesFanGirl' could upload soon though.
