Chelsea had a better chance with those two or one of them kept on. The continuity in attack was lost towards the end. there were a few good counter attacking chances late on that didn't go anywhere. agree with the risk of burnout though. at this point of the season

Willian and Hazard was Chelsea's attack though. Everything was going through those two. It was the wrong decision to take off both. You made the point when you said Schurrle was disconnected from the play. You don't expect Schurrle or Oscar to jump in and start combining well with the midfield and that's why Hazard should have been kept on imo. He was having a good game and would have been dangerous even late on. Can't blame the subs for not doing well. Part of the blame lies with Mourinho for completely changing the attack.

think we're past the point where we expect output from Torres. Most of the posts on here reek of sympathy now

Cech Azpi Luiz Terry Cole Mikel Ramires Schurrle Mata Hazard Ba

Krul - Coleman Lovren Koscielny Shaw - Yaya Toure Ramsey Lallana - Rooney Suarez Aguero

Think only Lukaku and Courtois next season. Maybe Todd Kane could be a future Right-Back.

I'm fine with games like this. Lot of Chelsea's big games have been away from home - Spurs, United, Arsenal, Everton. In the second half of the season, there'll be the home games and Chelsea always tend to put the opposition under pressure at home. A midfielder in January and things should improve

yeah. looks very comfortable with both Mikel and Ramires around him

A leader in the team. Will be a big loss for the club when he eventually hangs up his boots

Had a good game yesterday. both defensively and attacking wise. didn't get why he was subbed

Good performance from him. He does well in these big-match situations where Chelsea sit deep

good defensive performance. Win the home games now. will be in a good position then

come on. SET PIECE !

come on. SET PIECE !

willian and hazard was our attack

everything going through hazard

good pressing so far. everyone up for the game

Has Bertrand's mystery injury healed yet?

Very similar to 08-09 3rd kit Would love this

^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
