Somehow, you missed HMW the new dynamic trio ? Mata & Willian helped a lot in the last game. Of course, you did not see it ?

At Stoke, as we know, they are bunch of lumberjacks, playing rough football. Therefore, my proposal of Mikel. I also, would love to see Essien, but the bison was shot in Madrid, I feel.

Personally, I would do the same. HMW played very well. Why change something that worked flawlessly ? Just a little change for me. Mikel to start to add muscle into the midfield, see how it goes & maybe subbed Mikel for Frank, later. Even your proposal of Schurrle is valuable.

Monaco have slapped an 80m price tag on Falcao, I read. However, they would part with Falcao under their original value if Torres or BA were included as part of the deal. Then, I say. What are they waiting for ? Start packing.

Who could predict Chelsea´s line-up, these days ? I can´t. Even if Oscar does recover from his injury, I still would play Mata. He is the better choice with Willian or Schurrle on the wing while Hazard plays the right flank. Ferda to start, BA to come on later. The rest should be the same as the last game.

http://www.chelseadaft.org/2013/12/both-falcao-and-lewandowski-to-sign-for.html Since you all need a bit of spruce up, see above.

At the moment who would swap for Ferda ? Not too many. LOL.

The Chelsea show must go on. Another 3 points added, some hiccups might be seen, but 3 points, that´s all is needed.

Just one thing, I would like to remind you folks here. Sunderland = the bottom of PL standings.

What can I say about Ferda that was not already said here ? The team does not provide him with chances, I read above ? LOL. How many does he need to score one goal, then ? No matter what we say here, one thing we all should admit Ferda is shot. His sporadic scoring, won´t convince me, he is back, sorry. What to do, then ? Should Jose play him & hope Ferda will pop one in ? It´s a joke, has been for two years.

When Flash & Bushman wrote it, hardly any Manure listened ? lol.

As I posted here several times, The Clueless One is not fit to coach Manures. He has no clue what it takes to deal with a top club. Several lucky bounces resulted in Manure´s wins, that´s all. There are no players to carry them apart from the Shrek. The rest of them are a pack of older fogies or mediocre players, I feel. Today, Manure fans are calling for Moyes head & rightfully so. I would rather see him staying on. That way, we can laugh at Manures much longer.

I agree. However, sometimes a few mistakes, bad bounces & it´s in. As you said, it could be punished by better teams, but who actually is considered better, Manures, Arsenal, Liverpool..? Lol. The only team, that´s awesome at it, I see Citeh. Slowly, Chelsea & Citeh are climbing the ladder. Somehow, the goons are still on the top. Some folks say, Arsenal have not played against strong opposition. I say, they are much more consistent, than last year.

Sometimes, I admire the bombastic words in English language. " Stumbled " is one of them.

Yes, Chelsea conceded 14 goals, a bit concern here. However, several unfortunate errors should be attributed to it. Oh well, just win the remaining games in December, buy a DM in January & keep on winning, then.

Yesterday, Hazard rose to the task. The best game I ever saw him, last night. A massive 3 points. Personally, I do not care about the level of performance from Chelsea. All I want is a Chelsea win & 3 important points! Chelsea made the game difficult. Defending, Torres not converting on two clear occasions to kill the game off, but Chelsea dug in when needed & won it. That´s all matter to me, for now.

Once Jose has a grasp as to whom to play.....may I ask when ? Next week, month or later ?

After reading so many speculations, I get the feeling Chelsea ain´t buying anybody in January. Currently, the team is in 3rd-4th gear sporadically. If Jose can get them into 5th - 6th by the end of January, the PL title is coming home to Stamford Bridge. Despite of it, I still would like to see a DM being bought next month.

Well, as usual it takes much longer for you...?

On one hand people complain why he isn´t playing others. So he did yesterday. Essien was useless, 3 amigos should not play together..Frank, Ba came on, bingo, one well oiled machine was seen.

Not an easy game, I read above. Then whom are Chelsea gonna beat if not Sunderland ? A clean sheet I expect too.

Right on Juan, you are my man.

Oscar injured his ankle last week. Despite of it, he played yesterday. I do not know why though. Therefore, he should be rested now, at least this week. Mata is an adequate replacement, easily.

Jose should be praised for his ability to change the match, big time. Who is better than him ? Nobody! Yesterday, he started with Essien, rested Frank. Then he subbed Essien, made a change in position & the team showed us an awesome display of football. It´s very easy to say Jose corrected his mistakes, isn´t it ? He must try to play others. It did not work well, Jose adapted easily, the team hammered South. The result 3 points, 2nd place in the PL. What more could anyone of us want ?

Well, after seeing yesterday´s lineup, I thought to myself. Finally, a bit of rotation is used. A couple of surprises Mata & Essien. I thought Essien as DM would work well. However, he disappointed me. His blunder caused the 1st goal. Oh well, mistakes are made, but he still did not play well afterwards & was pulled off rightfully so. His time at Chelsea just might be over, I feel. As I read recently, Jose claimed not to start the 3 Amigos.It did not work again yesterday. When Oscar was subbed, things were getting better. One thing still amazes me, Jose´s ability to change the team, from 4-3-2-1 to 4-4-2 or whatever is needed. No matter what people say about Jose, he is still a master of adapting at any given time of the game, I feel. In the 2nd half, Chelsea were better than South by far. They were no match for Chelsea, physically, technically. I still feel Chelsea team is in 3rd gear & getting to 4th, 5th in December. By the end of January I foresee Chelsea in 6th gear, just like BMW, smooth riding. This team has not peaked yet.
