7 games this month. should win atleast 5 and look to get max out of Arsenal and Liverpool. Think we could be top by January if we grind out few wins because Arsenal will drop a fair few points

He's underperformed so far. A few sparks in some games but he should be doing a lot better I think he could be a big-game player for us. He has that unpredictability and flair about him. but so far he's bottled it in the big games this season

Really good in attack but also, he worked his socks off in this game.

Great performance from him. Up against a full-back like Shaw too.

Agree. Bertrand is under-utilised. Can't quite get my head around Azpilicueta getting a 5-game run at LB. He's been okay in some of those games but surely Cole or Bertrand should be taking that place back.

The squad was stacked with 25 international level players in the summer. There's the biggest indicator that youth won't be integrated very easily into the team here. Some of the youth players over the years didn't turn out so well even outside Chelsea (most of Arnesen's young signings) but now the quality is hardly an argument. Last year for example, Nathan Ake got a bit of first team football and he more than held his own. I remember he had a good game against Everton at the end of the season. Even got 90 minutes against Rubin Kazan and Middlesbrough in the cups. Not even a sniff of first team football now

it is free at the moment but eventually they will start charging i guess. Its really good though. Can rewind, fast-forward between games etc

even the weekend isn't live.

next few chelsea games are not aired in India. an alternative to watch the games. starsports(dot)com has live streaming on its site

Apart from the 3-0 November blip under Carlo, can't remember the last time we slipped up against Sunderland

Better not draw conclusions over one game but this was a good win. Especially after a stupid start

should earn a new contract

He's still got it

the urgency of the team helped. the ball was being hoofed up to him many times and he latched on to it more often than not.

Worked his socks off. Different player this year. As Tomo said, the rotation is helping a lot

everyone worked their ass off. ivanovic in particular was a rock at the back 3 points. 2nd place. couldn't be happier

Essien off Willian on

only way we'll see Azpilicueta at RB i think. a suspension for Ivan

this is a period in the season that our deep squad will be handy. Need to win the next few games before we face Arsenal Swansea Liverpool around Christmas

I think this month they'll slip up. They don't have a deep squad. With a game every few days now, they'll eventually drop points One injury to Giroud will finish their season

Arsenal lead. Doesn't look good

Oscar over Mata again for me. Start Mata against Sunderland and Crystal Palace
