Closed West Brom 2-3 Chelsea

Can't really imagine playing a top club away from home and starting Diego, Hazard, Pedro and Fabregas.

Defense line suffers when defense (system!) up front is lacking.

Doubt anyone ever thought Terry and Ivanovic were ever pacey players - and they certainly did not lose what was left of their pace during vacation. Aside from a slow start from a number of players - fabregas had another shocker for me - we are going to concede a lot with so many players who are defensively inapt.

hint: all players defend and all attack.

It's the same every season when the defense isn't protected the back line shows it.

Anyone got a link for MOTD highlights? I know there's a site that up.oads them but I keep forgetting it's address.

Balague: "Pedro will need 2 months to settle in" ​

Balague's mate Rafa definitely will.

Our CMs need to wake up, Matic and Fabregas were awful today. Absolutely awful. They're looking like Championship players at the moment. These guys were the best CM pairing in the league last season.

They started off brilliantly together, but they have been so far off their top form in 2015. They might not be as good a duo as we originally thought.

I'm very concerned about midfield tbh. This is why I've been shouting for a quality CM all summer (all year actually). Add some real competition and the possibility to mix things up.
