Had another really good game.

Who asked you to resign?

Good! #AnyoneButJuve

Juventus v Napoli is going to be HUGE next Saturday. Only 2 points separate the two at the top of the table.

We didn't draw against Everton and West Brom because of the defensive mindset. We drew with them because we were too vulnerable defensively and couldn't stop the opposition from creating chances. No disrespect to West Brom but when a Tony Pulis side see plenty of the ball and create lots of chances, then you know you've got some serious issues. The problem with us isn't just about the starting XI but also the mentality. Too many times we've started games slowly and only come to life after some time or going behind. Need to start on the front foot from the get go.

- I still love Juan - Great to see the fans give him a standing ovation - Once again, he embraced every player after the match - http://metro.co.uk/2016/02/07/manchester-uniteds-juan-mata-embraces-every-chelsea-player-after-match-5667956/

That moment when he landed was really really bad to watch. Really hope he isn't out injured for too long.

I can understand Terry's frustration with the situation but don't think we need him to talk about the same thing every week. The club, after all, have mentioned that the situation could still change and the next manager will have a say in the decision. If he plays well between now and till the end of the season, I'm sure there's a good chance that he'll earn a new contract.

Looks like he might be playing sooner than expected.

To be fair, we got better after the first 20-25 minutes. Started to create chances and actually, looked the more likely to score. United's best chance in the first 45 minutes was that Martial shot? We didn't really give too much away compared to United. Just look at the number of saves De Gea had to make.

Hiddink deserves criticism for the starting XI he put out today, especially with Oscar starting on the left side and leaving Hazard on the bench. Should have been the other way round. Having said that, I can also understand in some ways why he did what he did. Hazard has played tons of matches in recent years and judging by the number of injuries he's picked up this season alone, the fatigue and exhaustion have clearly caught up with him. So, I can understand why Hiddink is taking precaution and slowly building him up to full fitness again rather than rushing him back and risking him getting injured again or worse, becoming an injury prone player. On the game, I thought the point was the very least we deserved. In fact, I thought we should have won the game. I know we weren't great by any means, especially in the first 20-25 minutes, but when one look at the overall match, we still created the better chances and definitely should have scored more than the one. The fact that De Gea had so many saves to make - more than Courtois for that matter - says it all really. If we had better luck and been better with the finishing, we would be talking about another huge result here. Regarding the point made about not wanting to see Matic and Mikel play in the pivot, I can understand why Hiddink has been going with that duo. Granted, it doesn't look great in any way but to put things into some perspective, we have been extremely vulnerable defensively in the previous matches whenever the opposition attacked. You only have to look back at the Scunthorpe, West Brom, Everton and even MK Dons games to see that we've been giving away too much space between the lines and chances and players have been given free runs at our defence. In this game against United, we barely gave anything away from the central area, forcing them to go wide instead with the team dealing with most of their threat very well. This squad definitely needs some major surgery in the summer but right now with the options that we have, I think Hiddink is clearly trying to utilize the players in the best manner possible to ensure that we are balanced as a team and not being too gung-ho or too vulnerable defensively. He can only work with what he was given and I don't think it's fair to criticize him for every little thing.

Our last 9 league games - WDDWDDWDD. So, a win over Newcastle then?

Just watched it again and you're right. Either way, neither Mata nor Lingard deserves to win the MOTM award.

Wasn't it the other way round?

Was Lingard actually.

Funny how people change their perception of Hazard so fast. Weeks ago, he was berated as the villain. Now, he's being treated as the savior.

Chelsea team today: Courtois; Ivanovic, Zouma, Terry (c), Azpilicueta; Mikel, Matic; Willian, Fabregas, Oscar; Diego Costa. Chelsea subs: Begovic, Baba Rahman, Cahill, Loftus-Cheek, Pedro, Traore, Hazard.
