The only place to be

Wanker....hat-trick against us...stupid hair.

He had one dribble where he went past two players and then couldn't get the ball past the first man. He may not be the new SWP, but that was classic SWP.

Save your money and follow a team you like.

One would assume he's hoping he'll learn from them, like most defenders do when they're 19.

The spine of the team isn't playing yet people are surprised that we're struggling? What the fuck is wrong with these people? Mikel, Ramires and Willian are playing = We're struggling to create from midfield Drogba and Torres are playing = a lack of movement up top Christensen and Zouma are at centre-back = mistakes will be made through inexperience Most of the forum saw this coming before the match started yet some people are still moaning. Are these people wilfully ignorant so they can moan or are they simply that dumb?

Chelsea supporters already do kid.

We have ALL the problems you'd expect with this line-up. People called it as soon as it was announced so I'm not sure why people are surprised. The one bright spot has been Schurrle. He's the only one making intelligent runs up top and his set-piece delivery as been world-class. Stick JT and Cahill in the box and we're probably 2-0 up rather than 1-0 down. Some people simply like to slate the team.

We own John Terry, Gary Cahill and Branislav Ivanovic. Here you go http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Terry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Cahill http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branislav_Ivanovi%C4%87

Do you think the people moaning have looked at the team sheet?

Ramire and Mikel in midfield, Torres on the wing, No Hazard, Fabregas, Oscar, Costa, JT or Cahill. You just love moaning about a team you profess to support. Your card is marked son.

I guarantee there's an overlap between people moaning about the way we're playing and people who haven't heard of Ferencvaros.

Costa isn't playing. Nor is Hazard. Nor is Matic. Nor is Fabregas. See above.

He's great at dribbling, he just doesn't do much with it.

Zouma's positioning is terrible at times, but he's young. Mikel's positioning is terrible, and that's because he's shit.

Great corner by Schurrle. Underrated dead-ball striker.

Ok lads, what will travel sideways across the pitch further? Mikel's Passing VS Willian's Dribbling FIGHT!!

The AM's don't matter in this game because the ball ain't getting passed to them by that double pivot.

Mikel and Ramires....oh the dark days when that was actually something we used in proper matches.

Not surprised to see them win this. Thought they'd be more up for it than City and they were. Bears no relation to the proper matches next week.

See I'd say Oscar away to Southampton was the performance of the season. Take away the dive and that was a perfect performance off the bench with an assist and a goal. The worry is that it says more about Southampton that those two players had their best games against them.

People were high on him after the PSG game having just had a glance at those pages. I think the World Cup has simply confirmed what people had an inkling of. Willian will probably start because of his workrate and his ability to retain the ball, but I think if we actually showed ambition and looked to dominate teams you'd go with Schurrle everytime. I think Schurrle represents that expansive, attacking ethos that people are attracted to. It's why the comparison to Mikel is rather apt.

He's still only 21. Now I don't have much faith in him but we still need to try and do what we can not just for the club's benefit, but because he's a young man we probably have a duty to. That left foot is magical at times.

He only featured for 9 minutes against Norwich His best game was Stoke at home when he played in the 10 position. Those are all games where he stepped up and was direct and dangerous. He needs to do more of that which he should when you bear in mind Mourinho and Loew both alluded to him working hard on his fitness last season.

It's topped up with Jobseeker's Allowance.

Possibly, but he's decisive and he clears players out when he comes. Cech's problem isn't that he's cavalier or too timid, it's that he's somewhere in between.
