Closed Chelsea 1-1 Southampton

[Laylabelle 9,534]

Just glad we did turn up second half.first all over the place.

The Brazilian duo (Willian and Oscar) are the weakest link in the team. Brazil's complete capitulation at the 2014 World Cup was prove enough of their genuine lack of quality and more importantly mental strength. The minute things start going wrong, they'll simply collapse on you as demonstrated by Germany's 7-1 riot of Brazil, Brazil's worst defeat in their footballing history.

Both need to go. Hazard is the only world class player in the team.

Exactly. Oscar has his shiny moments, but his key passes or deadly shots are as rare as group sex amongst pandas. And he is our 'behind a striker guy'!

As for Willian, I honestly can't remember the last time he used his speed to leave player behind or had a successful dribble (not to mention his vision). Sometimes I'm not sure if he is a football player or customs officer. Each time he gets the ball, you just know he is going to have it three second more than he needs to.

The second I saw Dean was the ref I knew we were not going to win the game, he is one of the worst ref in the UK, shocking decisions, so typical he would help Southampton to a pathetic penalty.

We need to be better than them and still get a result, we got screwed last season out of the league and I see it happening again.

We must not implode

Disagree completely. Ref was at fault. Matic should have got sent off but he never did so he helped us there and that was a penalty to Southampton. Matic caught Mane first. Southampton should be more aggrieved at the ref than we are. Not the best performance but a good point when you think about it considering City lost yesterday. Arsenal, I am not worried about.

Really don't think you can blame the ref on this one. It was our shocking 1st half performance that cost us. If we showed the same intensity, desire and pressed as well as we did in the 2nd half, the game would have panned out a whole lot different.

Going forward I think if we play for the remainder of the season as we did the 2nd half we should be fine.

Oscar needs to be removed from the 1st team urgently. Zouma HAS to be JT's partner for the remainder of the season.

Passing HAS to improve. I can't remember seeing a Chelsea side give the ball away as much as I did today. In particular Fabregas who really needs to pull his finger out.

Forget the 1st half. Concentrate on what we did right in the 2nd and move on to Hull. We have a point better advantage at the top than we did on Friday.

Courtois

Bane zouma Terry Luis

Ramires matic

Willian cesc hazard

Costa

I hope this is the team we play for the rest of our home games.

Bane because I know jose will never drop him, it's easier not to dream when you know the chance is zero

I actually think cuadrado should be given a run of games, how many players can come to a new team, different country and get 10 mins every 5 games?

Home games because there's no way jose will play that away

[borriske 330]

I know it's not a completely fair comparison and for a long time i really believed in oscar, but...

[edetarod 2,155]

our home results have simlpy not been good enough since the man city game

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Its amazing how some of the posters are quick to bury the non-Brazilian Cuadradob who has barely got minutes while the Brazilian players continue to dish out piece of shit performances without fail. Fucking pathetic. I wonder if some of these "fans want what's best for our club.

[xPetrCechx 13,570]

Your are Attacking Cuadrado who barely played here?! You need to attack The world class player named oscar, who is here nearly 3-4 years? and atill nothing!

Couldn't agree more. So cuadrado attempts to dribble around the box and messes up...... Well Oscar doesn't make those mistakes! Sure not he's never near the box and never tries to dribble!!

Willian likes to dribble back towards the defence and then in the middle for a lovely little 5 yard pass.

Brazilians get a pass. Ramires. Oscar. Willian. Idk.

Dean wasn't pulling out a second yellow at all. He reached for his breast pocket, but his cards were in his shorts.

I'm guessing you've never been a referee as referees carry their yellow card in their breast pocket and red in their shorts

[Azpinator 2,325]

Hazard = HERO

If only De Bruyne was Brazilian.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Our attack is shit. I can even tolerate this if we had balance from playing all these defensive players in attack, but we even struggle in that department.

Setpieces are consistently our best chances to score, unless Hazard or Cesc magic happens once a game.

[Starman60 1,343]

Oscar needs to be moved on as he adds nothing to the side lately, and Fabregas ??? well I'm starting to believe that he really is only a "first half of the season player". he was very poor today.I screamed for Mourinho to bring on Coutrado, but at the end was screaming for him to be taken off again. He doesn't seem to have found his feet yet. Willian too runs forever, but with little or no end product. He may tackle back a lot but his attacking play needs to improve. I cant remember when he last scored (sorry)Without Hazard we would be lucky to be in the top four this season, and we cannot keep relying on his performances week in week out.

I understand that we are 6 points clear with a game in hand, but boy are we making hard work of it. And looking at our run in, I think City have by far a lot easier run in than us. We have Arsenal (who are flying at present) Liverpool ( who are also gelling nicely for the run in ) and United (who are now back in the hunt for second and winning ugly when they have to) These three matches can, and will define our season, and if we don't cop on and start playing for the jersey instead of the money we will blow this. I might sound very negative but I've supported this club for 45 years and I have seen us shoot ourselves in the foot so many times that I feel entitled to feel this way. Okay, we took a point today, but it's Southampton we were playing, not Barcelona. We need to be winning these matches, and winning with confidence. I saw the players in the tunnel at half time having a team talk and I knew we would see a much better performance from them. Which begs the question, "Why the fuck couldn't they play like that from the start". So come on guys, get your act together, you have to kick on and win the league, it's not going to be handed to you.
