Great game but Schalke was god damn awful. What a shit defense oh my god. we wasnt even nearly to our best and still destroyed them with ease. now we can relax against Sporting at home.

Di Matteo with an awful line-up. Höwedes as LB and Santana in CB etc. Tactical set-up was really bad and they were way too passive and full of fear. Expected much more from Schalke but they are in a bad shape at the moment, especially defensively.

Great game. May this kind of attitude and intent always be the case against whatever opponent, bar Real and Bayern, and maybe Barca. I've always said it and I'll say it again, this team is good enough to seriously hurt and oppose their will on any team.

JT really deserved that goal. He's been unlucky with his headers. Fantastic efforts weren't rewarded with goals.

Matic was amazing, he didn't allow Schalke any room for the most part. How you can say that about one player is insane, but it's true.

Fabregas once again showing he will perform big as long as the team plays with plenty of intent going forward and gives him plenty of support and options. I don't know what people expect him to do when the tactics are defensive. All because of that big game flop nonsense. His record for Barca wasn't good yeah, and he was poor against Utd for the most part (it happens) but he's the midfield general here, believe me when I say he'll perform for the most part. He's top quality.

And Drogba keeps silencing the doubters and more importantly, those who didn't believe he woud add anything and disrespected him. Keep on doing what you do Drogs!

Chelsea is the sole reason why the English PL still has respect in the international stage. Just imagine Chelsea doesn't exist. Imagine that all England has representing it in the Champions League is City, Arsenal, Liverpool and United. Every other league would be laughing.

But for as long as Chelsea is present, this league will be both feared and respected. And all football fans in England, Chelsea fans or not, must thank this club for that.

Absolutely.

But you will never hear that from the media. I owned my mate the other day (Arsenal Fan) that he should be thanking us because we're the reason he even has his 4th place trophy. If it wasn't for us Winning CL, and Europa and getting to the Semis last year, England would have lost their 4 spots.

But no. The media hardly ever give us our respect, and the FA even fucked us over when we asked them for an extra days rest before Atletico Madrid 2nd leg last season.

It doesn't even amaze me anymore. :rolleyes:

Did Costa get injured again? He signalled to the bench that he wanted to go off and walked straight down the tunnel after doing so.

Either he was feeling some discomfort in his hamstring again or he didn't want to keep on playing and didn't even bother to stick around to watch the rest of the game.

Mourinho says Diego Costa will be ready for Saturday's game at Sunderland.

It seems as if they're not up to it physically. Maybe Robbie made some mistakes, but overall they really are a poor side, this Schalke team. Hopefully some of their players recover in time and beat Maribor.

I've read that elsewhere.

Ramires is so horribly underrated. Really.

Concerning di Matteo: He just confirmed what I thought - he can't play a successful system. I didn't like our tactics when he was our coach despite the CL title which was (and I guess every fan will agree) was HUGE luck and commitment by our leaders in the team i.e. Drogba.

Some Schalke fans demanding for a sack of RDM. I think he needs time. But more of such performances and he will be gone...maybe forever as a Coach.

Great motivator but poor tactician.
