Looks like David Luiz in midfield. Good call but surprised there's no Mikel

Fucksake. Arsenal have been awful all game

May have added depth for the attacking midfield but the club did not upgrade any position.The transfer window was wasted for me.

Villas-Boas started with the ground-work. He introduced Mata, Romeu, Sturridge to the first team but then that went south for various reasons, including psychological factors, and caused delay in this transition. We're getting there though. Hazard, Oscar are improving their consistency and others like Willian, Schurrle, Azpilicueta are hitting their prime. As for replacing the mentioned players, there is a lot of talent on loan at a club like Vitesse around Europe. Courtois, Lukaku will hopefully be part of the squad next year and with a few signings - CM, LB, ST - the team will be a strong one. It's true that having spent so much money already, the club should be a lot further along in completing the team. I thought this summer was wasted but regardless, there is a lot to be optimistic about and if Jose is here for the next few, he'd mould a great team

with no Zabaleta, Toure, Negredo

^LOL. Good wind up but Nobody on here is thinking about Galatasaray because its still 2 months away and its against Galatasaray

i thought the club is looking for a stop-gap. Would prefer someone in their prime in January.

20million is a good deal for him especially when Costa, Higuain etc cost more but Balotelli is a wildcard. Could be extremely good one game but take stupid shots from distance in the next.

Hahah. You're making Liverpool out to be Barcelona or Bayern. Sure they have a decent team this season but seriously? They're below Chelsea in the table now!

Liverpool play slick football on the counter. This will be a very different challenge from the Arsenal game

Rodgers should be commended. He got it spot on yesterday

MOTM. Another good game from him

3 points. Let's smash those Scouse cunts now

How come Chelsea can't keep the ball towards the end?

Ramires suspended for Liverpool. FFS

Hold on somehow please

Oscar

Eto'o

Good first half

good spell this.

Mata is barely seeing the ball

Ofcourse we don't know but it doesn't justify the decision to take him off! And I doubt anyone was saying Mourinho should take risks away at Arsenal but the substitutes did not have any impact. Hazard and Willian both off meant that the attack was disjointed for the last few minutes. Don't mean that he should have thrown on a striker and gone gung-ho for it. A point at Arsenal is good obviously and the performance was also fine but I didn't agree with Jose's subs in the game.
