Or since Mourinho left ;)

You got it spot on, go for the cups and give the kids a chance in the league.

He has been awful this season

Really? Well compared to how he has been playing anything is better. I don't think he was great today, better than normal and solid. But to me Arsenal always looked like a threat when attacking down the left and Walcott was offside so many times. In the second half Arsenal was always getting passed Iva and putting in crosses. It's pretty obvious his the weak link. Terry for me was better and should be getting a new contract.

The quality of the Premier League is terrible. Yes it's the most enjoyable but not quality wise. Look at Chelsea, Liverpool and Utd. Arsenal and Spurs are nothing special and City don't have there main CB all year and there they can't defend. You look at the teams this year compared to Mourinhos first team, Invincibles and some of Fergies teams. The league would be over now if they was taking part in this seasons league. The champions league will show the English clubs up again. Just hope Arsenal don't win the league but I just get that feeling Cech will win it for them.

Which Chelsea youngsters ever do get a chance

Common sense would say that but Chelsea dont do that

Yep sums him up in a nutshell

Not really, when RM appeal the ban won't start after the summer so RM will do all the transfer business then and if they want Hazard they will get him. Like Barca did with Suarez when they appealed there ban.

That's the problem, as long as Ivanovic plays RB Chelsea will continue buying left backs to sit on the bench. Luis was perfect but never given a chance, Bertrand left and Baba will too if it keeps on going. Chelsea have a better RB playing LB.

That's the point

Mourinho never dropped Ivanovic even though he was playing terrible. Matic has had an awful season, but who's had a good one? William and that's it. I knew Guss was a big fan of Mikel from his first spell and told other Chelsea fans Mikel will be back in. I'm not a hater and I'm not praying for Mikel to play bad. If he does well till the end of the season then fair play to him, I just don't rate him as a player like you.

And I'm a hater

Think most of them are on here ;)

I do think Mikel had a good game, just don't think he is a good player.

Matic and Fabregas have both been awful this year. Fab was good against palace though. You got to play fab because he is world class but I don't think he can play in a 2 midfield, abit like lampard at his peak. Also don't think Fab is our best cam so it's awkward where you fit him in. I thought maybe going back to the 3 man midfield like in Mourinhos first spell might of worked.

How do you know? Did we watch the game together?

Need a left back more than anything. Got a perfectly good right back in Dave. We had 2 good left backs and let them go, now we have Baba and he don't get a look in either.

That's the thing remain consistent. Who knows he might of finally come of age and be superb till the end of the season. I don't think Mikel is a good player and never have, that's just my opinion. I gave him credit for the palace game but let's see how he gets on till the end of year.

It doesn't affect me, seems to be it affects a lot more people. I might be better than Mikel at FIFA but who cares lol, I'm pretty sure Mikel don't give a sh*t about my comments, either would I about his. But what your saying is pointless, it like me saying I have never been caught drink driving oops.

Yep I hate someone because I don't rate them as a footballer

I thought it was going to be a highlights package from since he joined Chelsea not just the one game again. Yeah he played well, I havnt said he didn't. But you can tell in those highlights Palace just didn't pressure him.

That's a good point. Do you think Zidane will get the job if he does well?

Hazard having a contract just means his worth more. If Hazard wants to leave and only 3 or 4 clubs could get him then he will leave. Madrid love a marque signing and Zidane has been singing Hazards praises. Personally I think when Madrid want Hazard he will go there. They won't sell Bale but just waiting on Ronaldo. I would take 80m and Isco.
