If anything Arsenal will be tougher to beat now.We aren't in terrific form either and our recent performances have showed that. A brief moment of link up play does us well and then the rest of match we are left defending the lead.We just have to win the game against Arsenal,a draw won't be bad either but 3 points would be a huge psychological boost to the squad. There is no point predicting the line up as most of our players are doing well so I'll be happy with whatever Jose picks.The important thing is to be consistent for the whole game and not l lose focus.

He's like a mix of Mata,Oscar and Hazard. Quick,coolheaded and a good shooter. I really wasn't happy with this signing but Willian has proved me wrong once again. Good game Willian! Glad you're here and not at Spurs.

He didn't look too happy with the performance and who can really blame him. The team needs to defend better and look to kill the game early on,especially against weaker oppositions. Terry saved our ass today otherwise it would have been a really disappoint result today.

I want City to draw Real Madrid. Aggregate score would probably be like 10-9 or something. Breathtaking football today,well done City.

Its clear now,KDB will be sold in January for sure.

He'll go to Liverpool, where most of the rejected Chelsea players end up. Its funny how we have vitesse for our young talents and Liverpool for this criteria.

he is not the solution to our midfield problems. sorry but not really in favour for this signing.

I'd first like to see Kalas get a few matches before deciding about this transfer. We always have a tendency to overlook the young players we already have for other club's exciting talents.

I think this criticism is because we were used to seeing Cesar play as a left back.

Ba was supposed to leave in the summer and join Arsenal on loan but everything fell apart when Ozil signed for Arsenal.So,I really don't think Jose deserves all the hate for deciding to send Lukaku out on loan and getting the chance to play every week instead of battling with 4 strikers at Chelsea.

He should only play when we are in a situation of defending a valuable lead.

Happy with the 3 points but I just felt that we could have done much better.

Great assist for the winning goal. Man I miss this guy a lot!

I say we loan him out to Athletico(we'll have to pay half the wages obviously) with an option to buy after the loan spell. Something just tells me that he'll do well there.Also it'll be nice seeing Villa and Torres playing together again.

dude u have to stop with this Everton loan joke.

this is not the qpr thread.

oh so now he's not ready to be our main striker? make up your mind people and stick to one thing!

Lukaku has stated in his many interviews,that he does NOT wish to be compared with Drogba at all.Yes both of them have a few similar qualities but they aren't entirely the same player and so comparing the two and debating about them is just a waste of time.

lol reminds me of Benitez.

Liverpool are second and thats a bigger surprise than Arsenal being top.Although to be fair,Liverpool really don't regard themselves as title contenders as their main priority is a top 4 finish. So after a bizarre weekend of the premier league,we are now 3rd with 5 points behind Arsenal(1st) and 4 points ahead of Newcastle(7th).While reigning champions are 13 points behind Arsenal. LOL you just gotta love this league!

Jose,give the Blue Kenyan a break!

DrogBA. can't get any closer than that.

Everton*

Torres is the only reason why we could not get him before and can't get him now. So if the club really wants Falcao,they should start by getting rid of Fernando first but since thats really not an option,we all should forget about this deal.

The draw looks favourable and with the squad depth that we have at the moment,I can see us winning it this year.
