Fuck I love Kirsty Gallacher - just woke up in LA - saw the news headed to this thread and keep looking at her Falcao makes no sense - Utd just getting desperate. They need defenders and midfielders...

Lmao Remy Tea Tray - nice work dude The others are great too! Moreno - yeah let's see how well he does against a real team Even I would look good playing against the Spuds - them and Utd to be relegated - lol

Dude seriously - please tell me you ain't looking for negatives after yesterday C'mon you know I love your post normally - but grab a beer - lets enjoy this I'm sure Fabregas bottled it - don't forget he was raised in North London - the home of bottlers A few months with Costa and Fabregas will learn to step up

With the through ball that started the scoring - unlikely Willian, Matic, Ramires and Fab need to spend time together to sort things out - it was the first time Oscar was missing - so I expect some problems. Fabregas is a real essential starter for us and he is as nailed on as Costa starting IMHO - sure he can do some silly things, but his passing vision and ability to increase tempo is second to none in the team.

Shit match really - Spurs trying to play with high tempo can't pass water Loserpool are quick - but Spurs making them look good. Their defence is still shit - thank god Balotelli is actually doing ok - quite impressed with him - but like Adebayor - starts the season well - it's where he ends up that counts!!! Stevie G is currently a liability - awful... This is his last season.…

Wow what a season Arsenal will have 4th and hijacked a Chelsea backup player to be their No.1 I think he will still come to the bridge - Le Arse is too old and boring - West London is better than North London

It's worth a punt - especially as you could negotiate a discount price e.g £20 million loan with an option to buy outright for another £20 million at the end of the loan ain't bad. Any other club would need to find £40 million... I'd definitely take Falcao over Remy - it would be amazing But, back in the real world - expect Remy to be ours

Doh timezones are killing me

He did - Jose said he will talk about on the coach - 'make some phone calls' - he doesn't like to be disturbed with this stuff prior to the match Shreeves saw he wouldn't get any further and backed off Jose also mentioned his 'Special Doctor' - lol so looks like Remy is coming...

I dunno - it can go 50/50 - but imagine his confidence if he does get a run - bags a few and keeps all the other strikers on the bench! That's #like_a_boss - so fingers crossed for the lad - he has the talent...

Looking forward to this game - probably will be more of the same from today. Will be in Zanzibar on honeymoon - so hoping the internet is working!

Agree with the midfield - we seem to have a problem, that still hasn't gone away (and is exposed by quick passing teams) - there's always a big gap between midfield and defence. This gives the opposition time to play a one-two in the space and turn the defenders - this has to be addressed. To be fair though - Everton played their socks off and could have given no more - they are a decent outfit with no massive names - just hard working, gritty players - I guess that's why I have respect for them. Was this the first start with Rambo, Cesc + Matic? If so - I think that could account slightly for the issues - it was more reminiscent of last season and I certainly didn't see it as much in the first two games? I think it's a case of all 3 of them needing to further understand where they should be.. There should be no space in front of the back 4 - they should all press up as a unit and not give them time on the ball. Like others have said - I think this was one of those freak performances - the best and worst of Chelsea in one match. I expect Mourinho to surgically examine the mistakes and I'm confident they will be eradicated - and good that it happened now, so early on - will tighten up for the bigger games ahead. 3 games in though and we really do look a complete team - just what a difference Cesc + Costa have made. Credit to Willian today as well - I thought he had an amazing first half. Ramires - gotta love the guy - sloppy passing and silly fouls - then boom - a magic finish... I guess with Ramires we just have to learn to take the rough with the smooth.. Surprised Schurrle didn't get a cameo - thought he would have enjoyed himself out there - but great that we can keep players fresh. As for the Mikel fan boys - seriously? one backheel and he's a god - thank fuck he did that, because he couldn't manage to do what he was brought on to do - he hardly closed the game out! Maybe that's our one area of weakness - we still need an option from the bench to lock-down the midfield. God how I wish we had another Makalale

Wow thank god we don't have to play them every week. Amazing character by the team - every time Everton scored - we pushed on... We FINALLY have the WINNING MENTALITY!!! Instantly game of the season. Loved the Chelsea fans singing 'boring boring Chelsea' - surprised the commentary team didn't pick up on that. Costa was amazing - just needs to be careful other defenders don't try and ruffle him. How Howard stayed on the pitch amazes me... 2 incidents where he could have seen RED! That's started my week in LA off nicely - now to go enjoy some sunshine in 'Marina Del Ray' (lovely part of LA) !!! Permanent grin all day...

If he has been told to track Coleman - then yes he fucking well can

TAnd in contrast have to hand it to Lukaku he's trying everything to win - even though he's still a bit shit Hazard could end up in the Miralles category - on his day amazing player - but just too inconsistent to feature all of the time That said Hazard on HIS day is amazing Just wish he would take the game by the scruff of the neck - maybe he needs a few more years of maturity... Ramires needs or sit on Barry - mark him out of the game and Everton resort to longer hopeful balls - nearly everything has gone through Barry

Hazard been poor on the left. Mou will be furious! As I said last week - Everton CANNOT keep this level of performance and pressure up! The next goal is the decider! We're gonna have to get used to teams giving everything for 70-75 mins.. Then we chuck on Salah (and Remy) and nick the odd goal That's how I see it happening anyway...

Get in STOKE C'mon... Pick up 3 points against the Everton today and brilliant few days as a CFC fan

We haven't signed him yet tho right? I've been in New York and now just landed in LA have a few days off work so finally catching up with TC

3-some with JT and Thibo - lol

Exactly - after blowing £60 million on Di Maria - the fans are asking for another 2 players - Vidal and a CB... The amount of money spent is incredible - added to their existing wage structure, this club is going to be fucked pretty soon. They need to ship out about 5-6 players - I still think Hernandez would be a decent buy for us

Everton now want Etoo - they are definitely loving our rejects Tough game - can see a 2-1 on the cards

Sigh can we lock this thread for a few days until people get some perspective... As I mentioned earlier it's impossible for a player to be amazing for 90 minutes every match - what we are going to get this season is 15-20 minute spells where the magic happens and the remaining minutes spent defending and trying but not achieving much. I think this is fair - what I would like to see is that value growing to 25-30 mins by the end of the season - that will be real progress. Yes Oscar was poor, so was Hazard, Matic and Fabregas - BUT they all turned it round second half. Ramires and William came on to tired legs and I like that - their pace really hammers home any advantage we have on the counter. Let's support our players for a change - why do we always need a scapegoat for every performance?

Yup - I wanted him hooked in the first half - but second half it looked like the 'real' Oscar turned up. I cannot believe that c**t Tony Gayle made a GREAT COMMENT in yesterday's match. He said - our coach told us - we might only get 6-7 games a season where everything clicks and all players are on it. That's like 10% of the season.. I think we need to be realistic about this and understand we only need 15 mins of magic to score a few... The longer we keep these players and the longer we keep Mourinho, I would expect that % to rise - but that's the reality right now.

Dunno what Mou said to Oscar - but keep saying it Most improved player ever - lol

Better
