We played Stoke away in our first league game last season. Mata yet to join then. Only did so about 2-3 weeks later. Yeah and their last home league defeat was all the way back in February 2012.

A fair few of our players would be playing at the Britannia for the first time - Mata, Oscar, Hazard, Marin and Azpilicueta. They could be in for a very rough ride.

Why? Because we have bottled 5 chances to win trophies this season??

HOW DARE YOU?!!

He's been shit for awhile?! Care to explain why so? 6 goals and 6 assists in his last 12 games for us doesn't exactly back up what you said.

Maybe so but at this point, I'm just desperate for us to get another striker so that Torres's game time will be even lesser!

Speak for yourself. You were so not interesting earlier...

BBC? A news reporter??

Problem in those 2 games were though we had more possession than QPR and Swansea in both games, we hardly even created any really clear cut chances. When we did create those type of chances, we tried to be clever with the finishing or let down by poor shots but overall, it wasn't good enough! Against QPR, it was all shooting from distance. Against Swansea, it was all pass pass pass pass pass pass and no end product. Had no guile and penetration to break those 2 teams down. We're becoming like Arsenal at the moment. Bottling chances to win trophies and then pass pass pass pass pass but create nothing.

Empty. Just don't feel anything at all.

@SeB for manager and @ as his assistant!

You're so not interesting...

We need spirit that made Chelsea kings of Europe, says Gary Cahill

Long unbeaten record against a certain team will be broken at some point(same goes with other kind of record/stats), like it or not but stats like that can show how well a team plays/performs against certain teams, home or at home or any other context, depending on what the stat is about.

Considering we are playing at the Britannia for this one, not sure if I should be happy or fearing the worst. Our record away from home under Benitez is much better than at the Bridge - P8 W6 L2(including the 2 CWC matches).

Yeah but on his part, where was the desire, commitment and effort?! This has gone on for far too long already and don't forget most of the crowd were still cheering for him not too long ago. It has come to a point where enough is enough!

Heartbreaking?! We have had enough of heartbreaks with him already for 2 years. 2 YEARS!!

On hindsight I suppose but dear oh dear. Some of the reactions when Torres joined the club...

He's the least of our problems right now.

Think this tweet sum up the current situation with Benitez perfectly.

Think Ramires has been found out a bit in the pivot. For all his energy and stamina, his first touch at times is woeful and he can't even pass a simple ball to someone who is about 5 yards away!
