The amount of wins we need depend on City. I do hope with three PL games piling up in March, in addition to the FA Cup and the leg back in Barcelona (I don't think they'll qualify in UCL, but with this Barcelona team you never know) that they feel the accumulation of matches and drop a few points. The only way for us to win the title is for them to drop points. Hypothetically if neither team drops another point, they're champs, not us. So it comes down to that. They are cracking right now and maybe they'll continue to crack, but it makes nothing to our title ambitions if they crack in the cups and don't crack at least a couple of times in the league.

Mourinho is a legend. Get the work done with 10 seconds worth of unrepeatable words I can really wonder what was the content of such 10 seconds.

our boys do know how to slide but I loved the rock 'n roll, karate kid celebration too x

you know my live comments about this play so I won't repeat them

x

look at the amount of clothes scattered all around. It looks exactly like my bed right now at least mine is in my bed, he's supposedly in the living room boys are going to be boys and on girls being girls, I can't resist Storm!!!!!!! I love the little husk!

I don't have words to describe this boy yesterday. That rabona PERFECT cross on Torres' head was just mind blowing. It does seem like his problem is mainly motivational. After he's assisted Schurrle's first goal he was just unplayable. I think it's a bit about confidence and stepping up to be the guy that will win us the matches, but as I keep saying, I'm not worried about it now. The guy is too young and he'll learn how to auto-motivate himself to all matches. He's said in this interview he wants to win the Ballon d'Or and he must know to win that in the last five years, Messi and Ronaldo performed well in nearly all matches they played, not only the big ones or against big teams. I wonder why we haven't extended his contract yet. Maybe he's resisting it? Also I had to laugh at my Brazilian commentator yesterday who's said he's the biggest wage in Chelsea and the second in England just behind Rooney. forever at how little those Fox Sports guys knows about anything. He's not even the second in Chelsea... We should be offering him a big wage raise in exchange of extending his contract.

He needs to improve, even doing some of the unseen job. He was really bad - not his privilege, as so was everyone else - in the first half and I think he improved in the second like the rest of the team, but nothing to catch the eye too much. He made a few good plays, but we as a team - and I as a supporter - miss his good performances from earlier the season. At this point he should be rotating with Willian not even to allow him rest, but simply because of form.

he was the worst of the 3 AMs in the first, but let's not fool ourselves, all of them hid. So in a team where nobody was playing shit, it's unfair to point his first half performance. He was hideous, but the rest weren't much less bad. in unrelated news, our rock star x

Excuse me while I have a fangirl moment here :dance: :getin: :woo: :woo: :delight: :heart: :heart: Okay now I'm back I was so upset at the store the other day when I bought my away shirt and couldn't have his name because they were missing some letters - but as a Brazilian I surely worked around it I love this guy since the first interview when he showed so much love and respect for Chelsea. Those players always win my love instantly regardless of how technical or classy they are because I don't know, it touches me somehow, even if people that aren't as naive as I am say it's all words to get the supporters'. He seemed honest imo and I've been a fan ever since. André's role in this team has always been clear for me since the beginning. He isn't technical, talented or classy as some of our players, but he has pace, a good finishing and he moves really well. I remember his first goal for us from that Torres cross, how well he's moved around. He's amazing on that. Not every player needs to be as technical and talented as Hazard. No team in the world affords 11 highly technical players. Schürrle has it all imo to be part of our squad for a long time. He offers things none, not even Salah as far as I can say, of our AMs offer. This variation is so important for Mourinho tactically because he can surprise an opponent with offering something completely different. Few of our players suit the counter-attack better than he does as well. That's why I'm not totally writing off the possibility of him starting some matches as the striker. Neither Torres or Eto'o has the pace he has, he won't dribble as well as Eto'o, but he takes on players without dribbling, simply by passing by them through the spaces. He's one of our best players exploring spaces. The way he gets behind defenses (and rarely getting himself offside), the way he finds space that is there (unlike Hazard who creates space with his amazing dribbles), makes him one very useful footballer and with his finish being quite good, we could use him as a striker in a few matches depending on what Mourinho wants. That's why it HURTS me whenever Mourinho gets Ramires and not Schürrle at the RW when we need pace. Yeah, nobody runs more than Rami-the-Energyzer-Bunny-res, but Shirley is quite fast himself and he's so much better making decisions than Rami is. But Mourinho said he's learning a few things and there were those rumors saying Mourinho wanted him to improve his body, probably get him stronger. I think if he can get stronger and endure the physicality longer, he'll be a key player next season for some matches. Our secret weapon because playing with Oscar Willian Hazard brings something completely different than replacing any of the first two with Schürrle. I suppose next year we won't need him to be deployed as a striker because we'll have a good one here (I'll be sending my prayers for as much), but in this one he could make a few cameos there. I know that's not his position, but seeing him play for Germany ( ) last year, his finishing was even more superb and clinical. I saw people in the match's thread mentioning the Utd match, but two things should be said: that was our third match in the league, and Mourinho's approach was completely defensively then. Schurrle was there just to make sure we had at least in paper someone in the attack.

I can't choose between André and Eden. They were both amazing in the second. I guess I'll honor the hat-trick boy I do hope Willian starts instead of Oscar against Tottenham

Schurrle to start next match?

Schurrle, you sexy, german. I can't with you!!!!! That's why my away shirt is yours name and number, love!!!!!!

double-double, Hazard + Schurrle!!!!!! #undone

all of sudden all of our three AM look much more lively and Hazard unplayable Come on, boys, let's stretch that scoreline

if you boys can have a boner I can get wet Now score and I'll come undone #footballissex

I'm wet with what Hazard just did that #orgasm

way to make up for a shitty performance so far. André Eden

WHY DIDN'T SCHURRLE JUST FUCKING PASS QUICKLY TO OSCAR? FUCK MY BLOODY LIFE

I'd bring straight at the start of the second Willian for Schurrle and maybe Luiz for Ramires

between Oscar, Hazard and Schurrle I can't pick who's worse...

I don't get why we insist in the annoying long balls! Even Fulham tries to get to the attack passing, but we try the annoying, and badly executed long pass. It's driving me crazy...

the only decent set-piece taker we have is Lamps. All the other are normally hopeless... *sighs*

And Cuntburg finally shows up... that wasn't a foul!

in all honesty - because justice needs to be done, Ramires is one of our best players so far. And he looks so cute with the mask!
