me, I can't vote because there's no poll My imaginary vote is for Willian

Terrible, terrible, terrible performance... He's begging to be displaced

funny you didn't mention how many DD lost and how much he sucked today That said, Oscar at least tied his worst performance for us today.

I mean again because he did this just the other week. Not saying he's an impressive player, dude.

dude, what a goal. That was a beauty That's why Mourinho copes with his defensive liabilities and have Willian covering him When we need balls, there are only four players in this team. Iva, JT, Cesc and Costa.

Ivanovic saving our arses again

how many crosses will Courtois fumble? Will his fanboys admit he's been lacking some confidence the last two matches? Nobody is saying he's shit or that Cech should start, but he's been very shaky - especially today

When was the last time Azpilicueta had two ggod matches consecutively? I can't remember for the life of me

José has been infuriating. He shut the brain down along with the mouth? Willian has been great

serves José just right

which doesn't mean 64% is good. I've been saying nonstop how bad Oscar is, but let's not lie to ourselves, 64 is pretty bad too.

Bad first half with the exception of 2-3 plays. Oscar is trying hard to top Newcastle as his worst display in a Chelsea shirt. Drogba is all shades of terrible this match. Wish both would give space for Cuadrado and Remy. Don't see it happening before 70 min. Maybe Oscar is subbed during HT given the many minutes he's been playing in the last couple of weeks, but I doubt José will replace Drogba before 70, if not 80. Cahill and Drogba were two big mistakes in this match imo. I called it last week, just after City's match that oscar shouldn't play today so I won't go there again. I understand Oscar - as the only sub is Cuadrado who just arrived or playing Ruben - which José won't do either. But Zouma and DD is inexcusable.

Oscar couldn't be more lost if he tried. Terrible.

Oscar has done nothing in addition to the goal set up... if he doesn't destroy our attack, then Drogba does. Remy and Cuadrado in the second pls... but I want Hazard in the middle, not Willian

I won't understand why Remy and Zouma were dropped at all... nothing Cahill or Drogba showed me so far convince me Mourinho was right. I know he may be thinking about giving them confidence, but they're way behind Zouma and Remy in the last games

fuck me that isn't a penalty. The guy stood there like the Rio de Janeiro Christ, touches the ball and of course the FA referee doesn't call it

that's not the fumble we're talking about and sorry, two mistakes in two consecutive games isn't to be ignored. Maybe he's lacking some confidence or whatever.

Courtois has been leaving the goal in a very weird fashion lately... Has Cech presence started getting under his skin? It's not usual for him to leave the goal so clumsily

Oscar + Willian + Hazard well, isn't that what we've been asking for? Amazing link up Willian actually was quite fast in his thinking. Consider me surprised

yay!!!! the only kit this season I actually liked!!!!!

He isn't, clearly...

What in the whole world is happening here? Who am I?

Completely disagree. I think Mata more than ever doesn't fit our team. With him and Cesc in the middle in addition to slow, we don't have enough physicality. Hazard while not useless isn't exactly a workhorse when it comes to pressing and defending. So you have completely useless Mata, Hazard that is more or less and Cesc who relies a lot on how much Matic covers him. Then you added a newbie in the team in the RW - which we don't know if will be able to cope with the physicality of the league and I'm sorry, but that's a disaster waiting to happen all over. It might not work even against small teams. Also, as someone pointed out, Oscar works well against small teams and we have Cesc, Costa and Hazard also working against small (and big) teams. No need for Mata at all. His attacking abilities and contributions were never questioned (much), it was his overall contribution to the team, the defending commitment that Mourinho's system requires that cost him his position and lately led him out of the club. If anything we look way more vulnerable defensively this year than last year. Our pressing is in no way what it used to be and Mata would only make that look way worse.

what exactly have changed since one year when he left? He's far from impressive in Manchester United - in a much more fitting system for him than the one José has here. So if where his chances of doing better he isn't that impressive, I can only imagine how much worse he'd look here. I agree about all other names in your list though. Carzola has been through a great moment and Coutinho does absolutely nothing for me. A fancy flick there and now, but he has never caught my attention. Disappears for even longer periods than Oscar does...

Nobody in Brazil thinks he's brilliant, nobody complained about his absence in the WC, so except Liverpool fans and now you I know no one that thinks he's brilliant. Odd
