Exactly. As long as Jose tells Ramires not to try to score, but pass the ball, the team should be just fine. Today, I assumed Ramires had played Frank´s videos on how to score, but he did not watch it properly though. All I saw was him kicking the ball, of course not on net.

Well, one never know, these days. Even crystal might pop two in ?

Now, I read exactly as I pointed out here. Jose says, I am concerned by Blues´ failure to " kill off " Stoke City. Too many clear chances, but no dice. This inept scoring of Chelsea players is killing the team. All opposition teams are doing is waiting, letting Chelsea to play, then counterattack & most of the times managed to score. Chelsea needs two top players who convert these clear chances. Torres, Eto´o, Ramires, BA...ain´t it. Schurrle, the best player, was pulled. Why ? The guy was sizzling, then.

No desire to score more goals...? Dah ? Selfish, stupid decisions by Ramires were made. Had he passed the ball to clearly freed player, 2-3 zip for Chelsea, the game is over.

Today´s performance was fine especially in the 1st half. Those clear chances, must be converted & everything is fine. How many goals Ramires should have scored today ? I´d say, at least two. The team is coming on just fine, but Ramires, Eto´o Torres must convert otherwise the other team comes down every 5 minutes & Cech let an easy goal in, like today.

Shitty goalkeeping, selfish plays by Ramires = Chelsea lost. Still why Jose subbed Schurrle clearly the best player on the pitch ? Brings Eto´o, who can´t score even if his life depends on it.

Bull shit, he is just fine.

Ramires was never a good finisher & never will be! Jose ought to tell him to open his eyes, look & pass the ball to others. There is nothing wrong with the defense. It was all shitty Cech.

Selfish plays by Ramires, shitty goalkeeping by Cech & the score is tied after the complete dominance.

The relegation battle continues at Manures.

Seats are booked in advance & Willian is out of luck here ?

Right on 19. You & I see it clearly. The same radio station is on.

How many times do we need to post that Lukaku was loaned out for the season ? Prices might be inflated, but it never stopped Chelsea from buying before. Someone is coming in January, I feel.

Stoke might not be as physical as two years ago, but still rough enough to play hard, I feel. As for Frank, I thought when he came on, he played rather well, then. Perhaps, not as a starter, but at 60th minute or so ?

Once again, you posted so much, but.... Let me simplify it. Hazard had his best game for Chelsea, so far. Better than all the others. Mata & Willian played well, linking up, passing...contributed to the team admirably. If Willian is replaced by Schurrle, that´s fine with me. Certainly, Mata & Hazard ought to start, in my opinion. I hope, I have helped you here.

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.

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.
