^Eto'o wasn't the next best option though. there were a lot of better options in the summer.

Some rumours about Cole considering retirement. Mostly BS but I think he's on his way out of Chelsea

and then Carlton Cole ruined it

Come on Fulham, our West London friends

So Suarez has scored more league goals this season than Torres has scored in his Chelsea career

Eriksen was a big upgrade from Dempsey. Injured though

Good deal by Fulham. Dempsey may not be a good player but he scores goals somehow

Diego Costa, we think Chelsea - diMarzio http://www.gianlucadimarzio.com/calciomercato/diego-costa-ci-pensa-il-chelsea-i-dettagli/ diMarzio has proven to be reliable but talk of Lukaku exchange seems unrealistic

yeah. think it will be KdB out Guarin in. that's it

My first pick would be Borja Valero definitely

I don't share that optimism. Guarin on loan would have been perfect tbh but I wouldn't mind a transfer because Essien is surely leaving in the summer and Lampard is ageing. Guarin could be useful for another year atleast Pretty random question btw, anyone know how's his English?

Fixed it for you

Hopeless strikers, defensive lapses and a weak pivot. Simple enough then

Simply not true. I watched only till the 70th minute (I've heard that it got worse after that) and I didn't see the team create chance after chance like you put it.

The manager is not accountable? Too early to jump to conclusions but Jose is accountable for his mistakes. Not too concerned about the Sunderland result but overall, the team is still in first gear Only Hull home and West Ham away in my view.

Azpilicueta was horrendous? No way

Hull home West Ham away. Only 2 games where we've looked completely solid at the back out of 20-odd games. Jose has to be blamed for that. its Not down to transition whatever, defending is just not good. Making simple mistakes in every game. Jose said that he'll look to make the team more defensive from now on. Think that's a step in the wrong direction in terms of what he's trying to achieve but necessary given the defense leaking too many goals this season

watched till the 70th minute. okay performance. not bad. but i'm not surprised the team went on to lose

in a parallel universe, ivanovic put the cross in the stands

all of chelsea's chances have been hopeless long shots

As Sheva pointed out, not the solution to the midfield but a strong combative player like Guarin is a good option to have + Inter looking to sell makes the deal easy. with Essien and Lampard winding down, we would need cover in this position for the next year. A kick in the guts for the young midfielders at the club if this is true though.

Arsenal on Monday night. enough time before that game

Jason's become a lucky charm now. Keep it going

No.Terry will mostly sign a new contract soon and yes, Chelsea are also looking to bring in a player but there are similar problems. it's tough to find good players who will be available for CL in January.
