Closed Chelsea v Sporting Lisbon

i wonder why we play Costa when he is completely out of form. I don't understand why Jose never trust REmy. He has delivered whenever called upon and surely is a bit more tidy techncially than Costa.

Mikel has always had an eye for a long pass. He does them pretty well too.

he must have got his passport which also allows him into the opposition half

If Mikel had played like that on Saturday we would have won

No offense (honestly) but you're not English so you won't understand our pain.

He doesn't have to be English to understand it lol, don't be ridiculous. You're stupid if you thought RLC would start today though...

Costa looks so out of it lately. Looks really poor with the ball at his feet.

He needs to run on to the ball and get a goal rather than trying to create for himself.

Our defense is much more shaky without willian tracking back.

What has happened to Costa?

[The Skipper 20,593]

Costa struggling a lot to be honest but what I like is how he isn't giving up. He's a bit out of form atm so things aren't happening but I'd rather him get played into form against a team like Sporting. Just needs a bit of luck.

Slimani must be the worst striker ever. He combines the disadvantages of a cliché big player (bad balance, clumsy, no technique, immobile, slow, inaccurate) with those of a cliche small player (weak, no physical presence, easily dispossessd, useless in the air)

Matic/Mikel off for RLC at HT please.

Then a Costa goal from a RLC assist in the 2nd half and i'll go to bed happy tonight.

I agree, Willian / Oscar makes our defence a bit better, but mikel stabilizes our team, and Schurrle helps us get goals everyone has a part

Still recovering and I think he's stressing out because he's not scored yet.

nice performance... now hoping to see RLC!!!

[Magic Lamps 11,677]

It is amazing how confident salah is despite his lack of game time. We should not lose faith in him yet, I feel.

[The Skipper 20,593]

I really want to see what Azpi and Luis looks like with our first 11.

How are our fullbacks? Salah? I saw the goals, missed the first half though:/

[Magic Lamps 11,677]

now the game is won please get FAbregas and Matic off the pitch.
