Two stats... 1. Swindon have only won 3 of their first 8 League One matches this season - W3 D2 L3. In all competitions, they've P10 W5 D2 L3. 2. Swindon are unbeaten at the County Ground this season in all competitions - P5 W4 D1 F12 A4 CS3.

It was Ivanovic that crossed the ball. If we are to put in crosses, it should be low ones and delivered in quickly behind the opposition defence before they get too deep to cut those out OR cut backs to someone in the box. Otherwise, high crosses are absolutely pointless. Only perhaps useful if we play Ba upfront.

Benitez on Luiz... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2428278/Rafa-Benitez-feeling-love-Napoli-unwanted-Chelsea.html?ITO=socialnet-twitter-chelseamail&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=socialnet-twitter-chelseamail&utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitterfeed

Not even sure why is he crossing the ball though. I mean who the heck is going to win those headers or challenges especially against CBs like Hangeland today.

We only really started to create chances when Fulham tried to open up and chase the game, if you can say that as they didn't seem to bother too much. But anyway, up until then, it was exasperating. No urgency. No tempo. No intensity. No cutting edge upfront. And even though Schurrle did well to 'create' the goal, in the end, we needed a Stockdale error to score.

If anyone missed it earlier, Mourinho said he dropped Luiz today because he wasn't happy with his performance against Basel.

We were already 2-0 up against Hull and Mourinho probably thought there was no need to change to 4-3-3 to defend the lead. But yeah..

Mourinho said in his post-match Chelsea TV interview that he has no doubt Ivanovic is his first choice right back..

Mikel told Neil Barnett in the Chelsea TV interview that he wasn't supposed to be in that corner after he charged forward which resulted in that and then told Ramires to stay back for him because he was tired!

And/Or maybe because he just want to keep things tight and compact with that narrow lead in midfield.

John Obi Mikel. Scored Chelsea's Goal of the Season. Chelsea's Player of the Year.

Only 1 MOTM. Mikel.

We've now gone 242 minutes without scoring in the Premier League...

Reaction? <------

I'm not sure if the constant crossing is helping his cause...

No intensity. No urgency. No tempo. No cutting edge upfront. Exasperating.

Rumours going about that Mata, Luiz, Ba and Van Ginkel out of today's matchday squad to face Fulham.
