One of the best nights ever. I remember jumping up and down on the pub's table shouting my head off

Not shown on telly is it ?

Mikel is good at keeping the ball.

True, they been very consistent so far.

Cabaye could work, it would be interesting to see him playing at somewhere like Chelsea where a lot of creative players are in front of him. Would give better distribution than Mikel but we might lose some stability

And Hull are sky high on confidence right now, let's hope they give Arsenal a run out

Would be great to have,but probs at premium price as he's English.

Been staring at that gif for like 5 mins.

Yeah he made a couple selection errors but so what? We won 3-1, in good style imo. You have to adapt to your opponent and Jose could see what needed to happen to win the game. And people give our opponent no credit whatsoever, Pochettino and Southampton had one of the best defensive records going into the game and are playing superbly at the moment. I really can't see why anyone would want this game to turn out any differently. Maybe the Essien backpass is still on everyone's mind I don't know.

Wake up Jose? He changed the game completely to win it for us. You have to adapt to the team in front of you and Jose does that well. Yeah its not all roses in some games but give the man some credit where it's due mate

I agree, it's very tiring being on this forum lately. Full of doubters

We played much better when he went off, weirdly. He was playing ok before then too.

It was a great game to watch honestly. We played really well in the 2nd half. And Essien looked good to me apart from the backpass. I'm happy he started, he is loyal and will always put in a good shift when he is called upon. He was working very hard in that first half.

I'm optimistic. I reckon we can get 12 points from 12 from our next 4 fixtures. That puts us in great condition to heat up the title challenge when we face Arsenal at Christmas.

Champions league is a tournament, it's about doing what's necessary to progress further. If this was a last 16 group tie, then yeah sure, moan and moan. But the fact is we have qualified and the league looks solid currently (4 points off aint bad in my book). And being Chelsea, we should never give up hope because we can achieve anything.

Is it a bad thing that Chelsea haven't contacted him? Its only been a couple months. He cost the club 18 million I can assure you people are keeping a close eye on him.

I'm at a loss about this whole thing, what exactly is the problem here? I can't see one. It's so naive to think that they only communicate via the media.

If we sell Luiz we will have a very light defense. What's the point in selling him if we would need to bring someone else in.

Jose wouldn't endorse any player so soon, it bumps the player's price up if he does.

We got we deserve, simples. No biggie though last game is at the Bridge, and this performance isn't reflective of our league games.

Yeah I only asked cause someone in the pub said West Ham were outsinging chelsea even at 3-0. Could just be all talk who knows.

what was our away support like at the ground?

He had an average game, not his best. Good or bad game though is irrelevant though.. playing the full 90 helped with his fitness hopefully.

played the full 90 mins, good for us really.

You knew it would come back. The 300 page threads of doom always come back.
