yeah. start of this season especially

i think Gibbs or Shaw will take Cole's WC spot

okay. fair enough. my mistake but looking back, almost every other post in the previous page has a comparison with Matic attached to it

it's not at all a case of people jumping to defend mikel on this occassion. it has happened before but not the case this time i get the people saying he's not good enough. i'm with them actually. i'd sell him off in the summer but why do people have a problem with Mikel's performance yesterday? Mikel played 27 mins and had somewhat of a meh game. not good. not terribly bad. edit : regarding comparisons with matic, he was not available yesterday. he'll play against Fulham and every remaining league game ahead of Mikel.

there's also no need to call he's shite after he plays 20-odd minutes and actually didn't play all that bad you keep comparing him to matic when literally nobody is saying mikel is better than matic.

He was tiring late on. Think Mou planned to sub him vs Everton but kept him since Chelsea were going for the goal. He's proven he can still compete physically. games vs Liverpool, Everton but his stamina is obviously not the same

once Mancini changed the tactics, a midfielder had to come on. you can berate him all you want but can't deny we were getting battered at the start of the 2nd half and after he came on it got better.

I'm confident Chelsea will go through. At home, we're very strong. Won't be defensive and that will cause Gala serious problems.

tbh, i was cursing him when he shot from 30-40 yards with bodies waiting in the box. apart from that not a bad half from Mikel

not worried about the error. he'll bounce back

last night's game suits him. plenty of open spaces.

good game. nice assist to torres, with his left foot too

Ha! This is hilarious

Started off well enough. good goal from the left. shocking 2nd half performance though. fair play to Gala

bad choice. shooting from 40 yards

its true. we play long balls way too often

Composure in attack is pretty shocking 1-1 is not bad though. think we will twat them at home

how did that go in

as long as we're winning, we should bring back the banned ones

can't see any gala fan posting now

where are the Galatasaray fans? 1-0 TORRES!

good start.

looks like Schurrle on the right. hazard on the left with willian in the middle. lets twat them now

DAMN! Maureen. Attacking team

Liverpool and anything connected to Hillsborough won't support it but with 40+ teams in the top 2 divisions supporting it, i think there is cause for optimism
