The only place to be

His defensive work, especially against Benteke. Unlucky for the goal. A great through ball in the first-half. Good distribution 2 tackles and 3 interceptions 2 key passes Blocked a shot and made 5 clearances. Nothing Nothing Nothing. My agenda? I don't think he's a good enough player. That's it. You should've tried actually watching the match because if you have to ask me what Matic did (not perfect by any means, especially when we were down to 10) then clearly you didn't. Yep.

Just needs to go. Lacks the quality, seems to have completely lost whatever it was that made him exceptional and finally reaching an FFP-friendly point to sell.

First couple of months in a new league so it's hardly surprising. The problem is a lack of quality competition in midfield beyond Matic, especially when Luiz is injured.

The title race isn't over, but we should never have been installed as favourites. It's still City's to lose but we need to fight to the end. For that to happen we need all of the players chipping in, not relying on the Matics and Hazards and the defence. Oscar needs to show the type of form he had earlier in the season and against Southampton whilst Willian simply needs to start contributing. And that MOTM poll is RAWK-worthy. Can't blame everything on the refs.

So it wasn't intentional? Fair enough. Like I said I'm glad Jose didn't try and defend it and I hope he doesn't because that would embarrass this club. What did Ramires do that was good, apart from the run through when he was tackled? Simply not good enough for us....but scored a good goal against Barcelona.

Utter beast. One man midfield....which is handy when he's got to play next to Ramires. Next season this guy could be utterly immense.

It was a leg-breaker. Utterly indefensible and thankfully Mourinho didn't try. Fortunately El Ahmadhi wasn't injured.

Ramires is not a Jose player. Jose likes men, not boys in his teams. He's now got himself banned for HALF of our remaining games in a title race.

Chalobah has been playing at Boro. He has intelligence and quality that Ramires will never have. Ake is a young guy who is developing well. We can spend in various areas this season.

It was intentional and everyone knows he has that in him. He lost it at Villa Park last season as well. He is one of the stupidest players we've ever had here. Just no self-control, no discipline, lacking in quality and a filthy cunt to boot.

No-one has forgotten that. In fact a few people have mentioned that. People have also mentioned that we've been lucky in recent games, that we've had flaws that were waiting to be exposed and that we're not realistically going to win the title this year.

He was good??? What did he do that was good? What one action or statistic from that game was good? Chalobah. Ake. Van Ginkel. Luiz. A signing. Any signing.

No-one wants to say it but it's true. David Luiz was carrying an injury and CHOSE to go on international duty - Injured. Ramires simply isn't a good footballer. Oscar has completely lost form. He's been terrible for a while and offers so little beyond workrate...for Chelsea. For Brazil he still seems good. Willian....this guy cost the same as Hazard but two goals in twenty league games is just atrocious. Maybe it's the world cup on the horizon but each of these players needs to wake up.

I would say that was a disgraceful 'tackle' for a footballer to make but I'm not entirely sure he's a footballer. He's an athlete, a runner who can occasionally kick a ball in a straight line. Not good enough for us. Thanks for Barcelona, but time to go.

Reality check. That result was on the cards for a few weeks, against Everton, against Spurs until the mistakes.... The heart of this team put in a shift. Cech, Azpilicueta, Terry, Cahill, Ivanovic, Matic and Hazard. You wear the shirt with pride and never let us down. Foy is a fucking shit ref. Willian's second yellow was never a yellow but he was fairly useless for us anyway. Oscar has completely gone off the boil. Injured again? Overplayed? Just not very good? The striker situation is a joke. Eto'o is the only one close to being good enough for us, but Torres and Ba need to go. They offer nothing. Schurrle is an enigma. He's scored goals but sometimes has no touch whatsoever. Ramires....yes you scored that goal in Barcelona but you aren't good enough. You're the dumbest player I think we've ever had (you got sent off at Villa Park last season in a stupid manner as well) and when you aren't diving, you're a 50/50 bet to play a half-decent ball. Shit day, horrible cunt of a ref but that result was coming.

Ramires you dirty, dirty cunt.

Sickener, but need to take positives from this. The heart of this team stepped up today and can be proud of themselves. Petr Cech Azpilicueta Ivanovic Terry Cahill Matic Hazard Oh and Oscar, what is it today? Injury again? Overplayed? What is the excuse today for you being shit?

Oscar and Willian must love playing with Torres. He's so shit that no-one notices how they are so poor when the football finds it's way to their feet.

Signing Hazard was a masterstroke. Just imagine if we'd have signed an attacking midfielder for £30 million this summer as well. But Willian has lovely hair. There's space in behind for a runner like Schurrle to find some luck.

Sorry, but players do take time to adjust. The amount of flak Salah has received is a joke considering he's a young man coming to a new league. It won't be fair to judge him until September at least.

No problem with Torres starting, but a little surprised Schurrle isn't included to make those runs behind Villa. It puts a lot of pressure on Eden unless Willian decides that scoring a goal might sound like something fun to do.

Yep.

Coles isn't in Hazard's class. He was a fine player for us, exceptional at times, but he was never in Hazard's class. Hazard is a very rare talent, at a level and with potential that I'm not sure we've had at this club for a long time.

Not sure how there's an argument about Eden Hazard being in the team, especially for Cole. I'd probably have Duff ahead of him to be honest but Hazard has already shown this season that he's one of the greatest talents we've ever had at this club.

The great thing about the internet is that someone at some point will say something that has never been said, perhaps never even been thought before. Personally I think he's the most balanced footballer I've ever seen. Technically he's up there with the Gullits, Hoddles and Zolas for the majesty with which he would sometimes stride across the pitch. Tall, strong, good in the air, great with both feet, a howitzer of a shot and a real leader of men. Lost one Champions League final on penalties and screwed out of another one by that bald cunt. Overrated.
