There's a mathematically chance Arsenal could fall down to 5th tomorrow too, it's nuts.

Southampton just fell apart in recent games. I know, injuries have a lot to do with it though, but still.

Watching Everton now, I would love to see someone like Distin on Chelsea´s team.

If Lukaku scores,many members are going to on a rampage yet again and will question Jose's decision to loan him out. Its like an endless cycle.

Not really. Everyone admits it was a bad decision to loan out Lukaku don't they?

Yes but it was a decision that just had to be taken. I am sure he would have been part of this squad had Arsenal not signed Ozil. Jose was prepared to send Ba out on loan to Arsenal but the Ozil transfer made him change his mind.

So I guess it was really just bad luck.

Let's not forget that this all happened AFTER Jose signed Eto'o. Without that we could've had Torres, Ba and Lukaku.

Oh well, what's done is done.

It had nothing to do with bad luck, it´s more like clueless decision.

Now thats even more shocking

Ba was never in Jose's plan for this season.Jose desire for a striker was well known and his failed pursuit of Rooney lead to the signing of Eto'o(the next best alternative)

Jose had planned for 1.Rooney,Torres and Lukaku. 2 Torres,Eto'o and Lukaku.

The young Belgian was always in contention to play for us.So yeah,I think its quite unfair to blame Jose for sending Lukaku out on loan.

^Eto'o wasn't the next best option though. there were a lot of better options in the summer.

Everton was coming on strongly, just a matter of time. To me, Everton is playing very well in this season.

Pretty close, but I prefer a bit more attacking football. Citeh style. Quick attack, no procrastinating, just run down & hammer it in.

I meant in terms of consistency + quality. When City is firing at all cylinders they are a nice team to watch, but they've had a lot of stinkers aswell.
