The kit.

Quote one troll post. When you realise you can't, I hope you retract your statement. You won't though, 'cause you're dumb dumb.

Thank you.

Don't what, Kev56? It's not a secret that I want Lampard gone, but it's certainly not something I wish had to happen. I also hope he can really turn it around.

Not at all. What part of the performance have you enjoyed most today? The awful performances, missed penalty or lucky goal?

Thank you.

Completely agree. With almost any other manager I think we'll look a whole lot better. Nothing is working. It hasn't worked for months bar the odd game where the opposition have had a nightmare. We look crap even against a bunch of part-time Russian farmers. I hate calling for a manager's head but I really think we'll push on once Lampard has gone.

It's not. It'll only paper over the cracks that he's sh*t. I'd be happy for him to never feature for Chelsea again.

Ziyech is the best player on the pitch by far. I'm hoping we don't see Abraham for the rest of the season so Ziyech can keep popping balls onto Giroud's head.

No, no. That opinion is dumb and not allowed. Jorginho is a great penalty taker, look at the stats etc.... His penalty taking style is absolutely awful. Get someone who can smash the ball a la Lampard. It's really not hard. I hated Hazard's for the same reason.

Population wise, Russia is most definitely within Europe and shares most of it's history with our European brethren. Admittedly, the huge chunk of Russia geographically lies within the Asian contingent, but a huge chunk of the people living there have far more in common with us in Europe than those in the Far East like China.

Ziyech feeding balls in to Giroud is a dream and more than enough to see off the Krasnodarians.

Kante has been terrible today. We are really missing Barkley.

I do Chelsbear, and I couldn't care less whether you like it or not.

My 1-0 prediction with Fernandes and a late penalty is still on.

Silly yellow from Havertz there. He didn't need to pull him back and get in the book.

Absolute stone wall penalty for Chelsea there. Slaphead was all over him. To top it off, they then check the absolute non-event against us. Pathetic.

Fingers crossed. It's not a bad line up at all and probably only 1 player away from our full strength XI.

So I assume Havertz has been placed on the right wing. Not a good decision from Frank. He feels much of a better player coming from centrally behind the striker in a 4-2-3-1.

It's not irrelevant, hephzibah. For someone who thinks he/she is above others when it comes to commenting about football, you do talk a huge amount of tosh. Confidence is a huge factor when it comes to individual players or teams playing well. No-one is saying that Chelsea are incapable of getting a result because of the United result mid-week, only that a good win often gives impetus to go out and consistently play well.

Manchester United 1-0 Chelsea, Fernandes 74'

Shame they had that good result midweek as I'm sure their confidence is running sky high, but the longer Ole stays in the role the better it will be for everyone else in the league. Obviously we have enough talent to win the game, however I am not feeling optimistic about this one. I'm predicting a narrow loss. Probably a last minute penalty from Fernandes. 1-0. Jorginho to be sent off.

Everything about this story is just so heart warming. The absolute dedication, love and respect he has for the club (along with that spine we had through the noughties), is untouchable. Cech is the epitome of what every professional in football should aspire to be. I am really glad the club continue to involve him in a manner of different roles. We would be privileged to see him put on the gloves again for us, even in a 'farewell' game of sorts towards the end of the season. Saying that, even Cech couldn't solve the shambles in defence and his parting gift will probably be a 7-6 thriller.

I doubt he will feature at all this season, but I would absolutely love to see him out on the pitch again. Legend in every sense of the word.

I wouldn't take it personally, driller. Along with some other members of the old guard, they do find it hard to muster up a single brain cell between them. Anyhow, I'm sure Ziyech will come on for Mount at some point. I actually quite like Mount and don't understand some of the comments he gets from fans and pundits alike. Yes, he's had a few shoddy performances but not enough to keep him from featuring in the starting XI as compared to who else we have available.
