Chelsea Legend 11

Odd. I thought we were brilliant going forward.... Cahill and Brana had probably the worst games I've ever seen them play together and that took some doing to best the last one.

All that work to get a lead in the first half of the season undone on the 1st day of 2015... oh man.

I think you'd be surprised at how not 'attackingly' Khedira is. He's a good cog to have but not exactly an offensive weapon.

Its the standard set out by Messi and Ronaldo. Hazard is more like Robben, Zidane, Ribery if you ask me.

He can score more though. He is our pen taker and though it doesn't matter how you get them, he needs to score more from open play. Still, all throughout December he's been fantastic so no point in bringing that up.

Strong lineup. Derby lineup. Give the supporters a reason to sing proudly. Courtois Azpilicueta - Cahill - Terry - Luis Matic - Fabregas Willian - Oscar - Hazard Costa. I also like the flexibility of this lineup... Courtois Azpilicueta - Cahill - Terry - Luis Matic - Fabregas - Ramires Oscar - Hazard Costa Gives us more options and allows us to be either compact or expansive. Either way we need to take all 3pts, Aguero is soon back and I expect City to kick on when he's healthy. They will lose Yaya but the Fernand's have been playing well recently... Take 3 here and the pressure is on them to catch us with a depleted lineup and a tougher schedule.

What is this bullshit "sports lobster" blog that is attached to the facebook page? Looks weak...

What more can be said? He is the fucking BEST! So true nothing made about the decisions that went for Utd and City but all sorts brought up about Chelsea when we won going away.

Still have to see how burnley managed to rescue a point from city, 2-0 up against that lot should be 3pts. The football gods were not frowning on us that's for sure, we had good industry and probed well just couldn't get the decider. Willian was a useless sub would've liked to see Remy get more than a cameo.

I disagree. Every game is different and every situation should be judged as such. Refs can't be influenced by the media or they shouldn't be it's what makes a ref poor

Luis was poor today too, so was schurrle. Not making decisions for the manager hard at all. Remy should play on the right when willian isn't.

No they didn't. You call the game as it comes. That bald cunt was at fault. Making himself look important since his pathetic life hasn't given him the distinction.

That cue ball cunt, Anthony Taylor cost us 2pts... Hazard was getting fouled repeatedly and no calls. If that wasn't bad enough a fucking clear penalty not awarded!! And then he has the audacity to book Cesc for diving!! What a fucking prick... Plays the advantage and when we win the ball back he stops play for nothing. He's starting to become my least favourite referee mainly because he is so incompetent! Just do your fucking job and trying to make up for the fact that no one gave two shits about you while you were growing up you bald cunt! Pathetic excuse for a human being.

They don't have the same mileage on their legs. Fatigue will be a factor but we should have the squad to handle it... I'd like to see Courtois Azpilicueta Cahill Terry Luis Matic Ramires Fabregas Willian Hazard Costa

Brilliant! Once again not one performer that was below par. That performance was irresistible, we looked well in control from the opening kick... Now rotate it a bit and carry on!

we should've scored more but the general play has been so amazing its hard to complain about not being up more

We're at home, nuff said! Happy holidays fam.

One game at a time fellas. Would love to see Ramires get a run next this game. Courtois Brana Cahill Terry Luis Matic Ramires Fab Oscar Hazard Costa

Obviously Matic was MotM but I doubt anyone will acknowledge the strong contribution Mikel made in the middle next to him... Unsung Hero proves the doubters wrong yet again, just quietly does his job and silences the detractors.

Now Liverpool and Arsenal get a point! Tomorrow is DEFINITELY a must win!!!

Now we have even more pressure since Sunderland won! Must take three points tomorrow!!

We got Costa, Fabregas, Hazard, Remy, Oscar, Schurrle and Didier sure we can win at Britannia on Monday? Lets be honest here if we can't beat Stoke with this squad something is seriously wrong. 2-0 Chelsea.

So many cliches in one match thread.

Really looking forward to playing them, Laurent Blanc has been nothing short of awful with his tactics and tactical substitutions this year. Today he took off Cavani in a 0-0 game and brought on some kid named Bahebeck?? Who was shockingly poor... If they don't go back in the window in January I think we can turn them over quite easily, they look worse than last year when they lacked a plan B.

I can't believe I'm saying this but I actually think this is a game Schurrle should play in... He hasn't been the best teammate but I think this might be a game for selfishness. He scored two against them last time too
