Probably been said already, but in the big games there are those couple of key moments that make or break the game for you.
For me Gustos header was the best chance either side made in the whole game.
Neto dancing with the defender, back and forth, until Gusto makes the perfect run, gets the perfect cross, is ahead of his man and he puts it over the empty net.
Then you have the other moment, Arsenals goal. A perfect offside line destroyed by one player (was it Colwill?), and Gusto not following his man but ball watching.
Regardless Rob Sanchez should never, ever be beaten by that shot. Near post, simple save, not good enough. No bozo moments but his shot stopping failed us.
Gift them a goal and miss an open one, you don't win many big matches with such glaringly bad mistakes.

I am not sure about noni starting. Utd will surely give us enough chances for counter attacks. Noni is always slowing down our counters. It feels like his brain is freezing.

Why was Dewsbury bought for 30m and Gallagher sold for 30m lol....must be among the unsolvable mysteries

No way lavia is not playing. He was the best player against City.

Great cameo from the bench....

For 22 years old he's really good, can invert as well. Not sure why everyone's so keen to sell him.
 
Poor mistake at the end though

I get a feeling this team is perfect for Mourinho. The team has talent everywhere. What it lacks is direction and tactics, especially build a strong backbone. Like the one he did the first time.

Finally we have somewhat of a playmaker, 4 years after hazard left.
What I love about him is his calmness, vision and ofcourse the workrate. Coz of the height, his dribbling wont be as beautiful, but he seems to be slowly building that chemistry with his teammates. If there are no more injuries, by December, we will be scoring lot more and Palmer will be the architect.

why cant we just give angelo gabriel a chance. He looks perfect for the role sterling played against liverpool. His dribbling, creativity and endproduct are top class.

enzo, only thing he missed was a goal.
Jackson deserves credit for the best performance from a chelsea striker/cf since diego costa left. He toyed with Konate. Has some real insane strength in him which you cant guess from his size. Won almost all the aerial duels. And then the pace and ball control and passing. If you include passing too, havent seen anything like this since Drog. Mudryk wasted such a beautiful run from Jackson.

Absolute bollocks .. haven’t heard a bigger p pile of trash all evening.. his hold up play was amazing today against two physical players.. you are making stuff up now..

Gabriel looks worth the hype. Great vision. That cross for sterling's header should have been another assist too.

I think our hands are tied here. The alternative is a Gallagher and Hall pivot....
Regarding Kovacic, how does he manage to play the full 90 for every Croatia WC game yet it becomes an impossibility for him to be fit 2 matches in a row for us? I honestly wouldn't be all too surprised if Kovacic is one of the players we have lined up to leave given how pathetically unreliable he is. 

I was sure zakaria was starting today.... Really wanna know the logic in playing RLC ahead of gallagher Or zakaria. A central midfielder with zero contribution in a match is a rare accomplishment lol.
