I don't think I've watched that particular match, so yeah, I haven't seen it before until now (though probably did in those Zola goals compilations, as I'm positive this is one of his most beautiful goals). Such a gem, wonderful. I really enjoyed watching him play. Thanks to you and Ron

Now, I know most teams, I don't know which goal back then, but I'll check

I remember a lot of his goals, but I don't remember a lot of the opponents names. I was new into English football. Which one do you mean?

https://vine.co/v/O79mQFHYQV6 Who remembers that? just about the time I started supporting the team

can't decide who to give the MOTM to. Both Oscar and Aké were very good. Oscar was lively in the first 20-30 minutes, actually scored a goal, had a few good passes, nearly assists (for example, Schurrle's shot on the wood in the second). Aké was composed, smart and solid throughout the whole time he played. Will decide later (not that I could vote now if I wanted )

yep, the guy with an amazing run to score our goal against City just three days ago... everyone can have a bad finishing day. I do agree he has them too much, but he's still young, he'll improve which is why I think José kept him til the end, to show him his manager trusts him, especially after the jab towards him in the Lamps' goal.

“I want to commend all of our supporters for the reception you gave Lamps after the game. People talk about other teams having great support, but that is why Chelsea supporters are the best – you are pure class and I know it meant the world to Lamps.” — JT on today’s programme notes

ten minutes ago he went through the whole midfield and then the defense, dribbling his way through... his finishing has been off, but that's about it. His dribbling, running, and even his passing (when he actually decided to pass) were good.

Salah didn't have a festival of missed chances, that's what I mean, not play time.

José probably wants to give Schurrle some confidence after missing so much. If he subs him off it only makes it worse regarding confidence. He's thinking long term here, I guess. Maybe he does end up scoring

André very unlucky now...

so talk about it in his thread and in the English football thread. I never meant anything else except that it doesn't belong in this thread... We already have enough grief and overreaction about Lamps here these days, no need to bring it to our live match threads. I never meant Oscar is bigger than Lamps, because I'm not retarded or idiot.

our finishing in this match has been abysmal to say the least... that's me being nice

good thing our current #8 scored and took well the corner from which came our first goal. I'd rather focus on this #8...

Oscar's goal!!! It's been a while

I think I've seen enough of André for this match...

amazing shot by Aké. Unlucky with the good goalkeeping

GOAL

no, I don't like too much commentating over my sports. It bothers me even in Portuguese, English and Spanish that I can understand. The guy just won't shut up. It's a thousand words a minute with only small stops of 2 seconds to take a new breath.

English stream pls? Can't stand Arabic narration. They just don't EVER stop talking. It bothers the heck out of me.

even when we meet the likes of Arsenal like we did in the 4th round last year I find the early stages of League Cup very boring. It still beats international football by 1000
