English Freak

Hopefully we bring in another defensive midfielder who can challenge Mikel for his starting spot.

You can't buy leadership. JT is a born leader. He might not have much left in the tank..but he's still our best CB. He should stay at the club, maybe in a playing/coaching type of role.

Hopefully we just win the game

Luckily Cahill and Cech put in good performances at the back or else the scoreline would of been something like 4-0. Playing Ramires as a RW..and not playing Azpi at RB just killed our width for most of the game. Most likely we'll be in 4th place after tomorrow's game between Gareth Bale & West Ham...

Mata is such a soft player Take Rambo off and bring on Moses

Lukaku needs regular game time to gain confidence and play well..which he wouldn't get under Rafa..cause Torres is locked in as the #1 striker regardless of his pathetic finishing. I bet if Chelsea brought back Lukaku in January..Rafa would just keep using his pet Torres for 80 minutes in most games...and then he'd bring on Lukaku for the last 10 minutes...which would seriously impact his development.

I doubt Lukaku would be playing well for Chelsea if his loan spell was cut short because of Benitez and his pet Torres.

Lukaku made that second goal. He just kept chasing the ball, forced the error from the Sunderland defender and got a slice of luck with the rebound of Mignolet. Can't wait to see him in a Chelsea jersey, he'll be giving EPL defenders nightmares for years to come!

Well..they gave Bertrand a chance..after he spent close to 5 seasons on loan at various lower league clubs... I don't see why they wouldn't give PvA a chance..maybe we could give a few chances at LW.

I wouldn't mind taking a shot at Kevin Strootman (playing for PSV). He'd be available for around 20 million and he can play CM/DM..even fill in at CAM if needed..

Ramires will thrive in a 3 man midfield..he's just not suited for a 2 man midfield. I would love to see a combination of KDB - Mikel - Ramires with Mata & Hazard supporting Ba/someone else upfront.

Azpi was a steal Hazard & Moses will be awesome players in the near future Unsure on Oscar. Let's see how he develops... Don't see a long term future for Marin...but luckily he only cost a few million.

Didn't Ba break his nose against Newcastle ?..and since that game, he's only played 1 full game..which was the Cup replay against Brentford...

Still don't understand the Di Matteo sacking... I mean we hired Rafa and he's only won 7 out of 14 EPL games in charge... I think Di Matteo would have matched Rafa's current record.

I thought he had an average game. Would like to see Mikel take a few more shots from just outside the box...

Should be a tight game...would be brilliant to see Lampard score the winning goal.

Based on his performances in a Chelsea shirt...I don't understand why any top club (except Atletico Madrid) would want to take a chance on Torres.

Rubbish performance.

I reckon Chalobah will break into Chelsea's first team before McEachran...

Congrats to Milan. I like the look of their team. Pace, Power and Youth throughout the side

We can ease past Boro..and then hopefully we'll have a good game against United.

When we rest Mata, just use Oscar in the AM role. Then buy a proper winger who can rotate with Moses and Hazard as a LW/RW.

Not sure about Martinez. Don't like 3-5-2 or 3-4-3...and moving from Wigan to Chelsea is a massive step up.. The other problem would be: Time. If the likes of AvB and RDM can get sacked for a few poor performances...then there is every chance Martinez would get the boot after 2-3 months in charge..

Fiorentina 4-1 Inter Milan Go Jovetic, would be good to see Fiorentina in a European competition next season.

It's not a disgrace. It'll be good for Lamps to leave on a high.
