Ok... Move on.

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

We're through so thats good.

Made hard work of it though through missed opportunities and poor decision making in the final third.

Wouldn't have minded seeing Baker get a run out but I'm delighted for the likes of Zouma for the goal (happy happy) and Ake who was excellent and very assured in the middle.

On we go!

[Nero 1,838]

AKE!!!!

[Barbara 15,149]

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 )

Young players proved what they can do in 1st half, don't know what happened in 2nd half... Could be lack of games fitness

[Nike 373]

OSCAR motm..

But, im going to give it to Ake, since he allowed Mikel to take more shots in 1 game than he does in one premier league season.

perhaps we dont need a MOM .. no one stood out tho was pleased for Ake and Luis did some excellent

crosses .

Where's the poll? I need to vote for Ake.

[mikeholiday 209]

Filipe Luis offered good support. Thought he was good in his positioning. Oscar might get the MOTM for scoring.

[Laylabelle 9,359]

Bit dire but got there in the end.Least we didn't go out after all those chances

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Couldnt watch the game, how did Zouma and Ake play?

[Rom2013 446]

Schurrle was clearly the best player in this game. No fortune in the shots, but everything else he didi it really well.

Good game, really good to see all the rotation and more importantly a great result.

We have a League to win, this is not the main competition.

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

No sugar coating it, that was a terrible performance

[Sheva. 5,373]

Luis was very good in the first half, good crosses, positive running which allowed Schurrle to cut in easily.

I believe it's only a matter of time before he takes his first team spot.

[chelseawise 115]

My take on the match:

1) Ake is very good, we must give him chance

2) I like Zouma, looks composed, he is going to make it even if it takes 2 years.

3) Schurle needs one on one coaching on shooting

4) I thought we played very well despite the scoreline. If luck favoured us could have been 7-1

5) Not sure about Drogba, he really has lost touch and pace. Remy should be the sub for Costa when needed.

Bring on Shrewsbury

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,919]

Luis was very good in the first half, good crosses, positive running which allowed Schurrle to cut in easily.

I believe it's only a matter of time before he takes his first team spot.

I'd start him for villa this weekend. Allow iva and azpilicueta to have the midweek pairing. and rest azpi this weekend
