It's the probably the board's decision to leave Malouda in the exile. And he's injured at the moment.

Who would want to leave their job in the middle of the season when their team is still doing well and trying to achieve their goals? Even you said "if they want to come". IF. They would have a sense of responsibility for their club too. And please, personal vendetta? Give me a break! You got the 10 points warning simply because you broke the forum's rules. Simple as that! Nothing more. Nothing less.

Speaking of Fergie, surprised not to have heard anything from him about this.

Back to talking about transfers... Only 6 days left in the transfer window and no sign of us buying anyone to bolster this threadbare squad of ours!

Taken of Twitter, right? Or Facebook? I don't think he even actually said such thing. Another fabricated quote...

Seems like they have made no decision to appeal the red card. Just depends on whether we'll appeal the charge.

No. There's a slight difference. Hazard received a red card for this while Terry didn't for his case. This charge is not about the red card/3-match ban, it's about the possibility of extending it further. So, right now, Hazard will serve the 3-match ban starting from this Sunday no matter what. Remains to be seen whether he will serve more than a 3-match ban(likely to).

Problem is, who can we get in as replacement now?! All the supposed targets of Roman are still having a job right now.

What's the point? So many already backed Hazard before this and the FA still wants to punish him. The way he went about getting the ball may not have been pretty but a 3-match ban would have been sufficed FFS!

Considering it's the FA, hardly a surprise that Hazard has been charged. They are completely blowing this out of proportion! Elsewhere...

Bit of team news: Benitez has just said in his PC that Luiz won't be available for this game. Out with an ankle injury and it's a recurrence of his previous ankle injury. Doubtful for Reading next Wednesday too. Terry might have a chance to play in this game.

Think you are blowing things out of proportion a bit. Yes, our squad at the moment is depleted but when everyone is fit and available(which we will get more players back soon), we are capable of dealing with Premier League and FA Cup games.

According to the Irish Independent, Mourinho's future at Real Madrid will depend on outcome against Man United in CL. http://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/champions-league/jose-mourinhos-future-hinges-on-manchester-united-clash-3364296.html

As some have mentioned, the league should be the priority first and foremost and then the FA Cup. On the other hand though, even if we try to go for the FA Cup, don't think it will distract or affect us too much in the league since the games are played on a weekend anyway and we'll then just have a few league games here and there in midweek, that's all. If anything, the earlier we exit from the Europa League, the better. Even though I want to see us win that, exiting that competition would mean less fixtures and give the players a bit of breathing space to rest and focus on the league and then FA Cup.

Chelsea's Eden Hazard has an exemplary disciplinary record

Given the occasion, if the players can't even motivate themselves and needs to be motivated every time by the manager, then they need to have a look at themselves. And maybe they really need to. Yesterday wasn't the first time the players have not performed this season in the big games where we really needed them to stand up and be counted. Think it has just reached a point where everyone just wants to blame Benitez for anything and everything that goes wrong here even though other parties are to be blamed as well.

TBF, think the whole team needs one. The players have basically been playing every 3-4 days since the start of the season. Fatigue is taking its toll, if not already.
