José was clearly in a bad mood, wasn't he? It seemed like the last thing he wanted was to be in that press room. lol And it seems he thinks our squad is small... didn't he say for a while until a couple of weeks ago that we had a fantastic squad? That we were set? Now we're small? If we are small, it's his fault and the board (not saying I agree we have a small squad). If he thought we were small shouldn't he have been worried about bringing more players? Tbh I didn't get this interview... he seemed in a bad mood, didn't engage in conversation and said things such as this one that don't make much sense to me based on his speech the last two months... weird to say the least. Should we expect tracking suits tomorrow? lol

the big question is how much happier they will be if we start getting the same kind of results they do...

but Oscar finishes it with a wink to Schurrle, which was cute They were probably discussing how to do it rather than who would do it. some of his actions were on tumblr x

Hazard just got a new number, I thought he'd continue to be the one to sell the most. I'm buying a Cesc #3 kit though... I really don't like our kits this season, last season I bought all three (Hazard first, Schurrle away and Oscar third), but I can barely stand the third one. I like collars or v-necks, so the first kit for me is a big disappointment and boring as heck.

His laughter is priceless, LOL Thanks a lot for the vid also it looks like from the rest of the vid that he was aiming to hit Oscar and Willian or scare them. He's indeed a light hearted guy off the pitch

Should he be happy for conceding in such a close match? Regardless of who scored, he was involved, his team lost the advantage, of course he's going to look like that...

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...
