Quietish game yesterday by his own standards and we win 5-0 lol, love it, who said we have not got the players to step up if Hazard doesn't perform!

We won't get any points beating Bradford I'm afraid ;-)

Don't agree with so many candidates myself. Yes many played well but one player was miles ahead of the rest ! Take a bow Cesc Fabregas we are lucky to have him!

Willian was far from terrible, a vital cog linking up well and breaking up the play. Yes should have done better with his finishing but you can't score every shot you have !

Great first half by the whole team. Hazard has a relatively quiet game and we are 4-0 up lol Fabregas is a beast !

Cahill was always returning and why risk Courtois if not 100% fit. Drogba got a knock? Not on the bench.

You've lost me what was your point?

Yeah because JTs game is only about tackling, he's crap at ball retention, passing and reading the game......

Ake isn't a left back, he will take mikels place in the squad next season as cover or to play alongside Matic that's his best position.

Cahill will be back and luis in for Dave are the only changes I can see, and TiVo bk in for Cech.

I doubt it as it says penalty box chances, long shots wouldn't be included in those stats I wouldn't think.

I don't think Luis has looked poor at all apart from one bad game which has already been mentioned. Should get a run of games now with Dave injured and I'm sure he will grow into the role and gel with the rest of the back 4 as well as offering us much needed width overlapping Eden. As for Bertrand, I think he was caught out a few times yesterday and was only cover from those around him at times stopped the mancs from exploiting his side of the pitch more than they actually managed. Bertrand will be sold and we should get a decent fee.

Tony Gale is so poor lol going on about Costa drifting to wide and should stay within the lines of the penalty box then a few minutes later he makes the decisive interception on the touch line before scoring himself lol the spouting about him being low on confidence and out of form was cringeworthy, he was never going to keep up his early season figure just not possible but to go own like Gale was at every opportunity was as though Costa had lost a leg lol.

Costa for me, a constant men's nice and a great fighter!

Unfortunately for personal reasons I had to give my ticket away yesterday so couldn't attend but just watched the full match on sky and tbh the atmosphere seemed pretty good to me. Yeah you could here the bar codes at times but that's the same at any away ground but it came across that Chelsea were trying and succeeding to drown them out. Was it not great for those that attended?

Certainly dragged us into the game yesterday, led by example and got stuck in at every opportunity which seemed to raise those around him. Scored a great goal to boot!

What I like about the guy is that he doesn't hide, he keeps trying things (sometimes to elaborate) even when it's not working. At times yesterday against Newcastle especially in the first half he gave the ball away a fair bit trying quick counter attacking passes with a small margin for success. At times these were the wrong choices, but I feel as he matures he will balance out the good time to do this and when to not. But he never hides, a great trait to have, whether it's going well personally or not he keeps plugging away then gets rewarded with his great link up play for Costas goal. He's work rate as we know is second to none and he is a very important part of our machine that I think Jose is managing so well ( often rested and first subbed) at the moment. I think there is still a lot more to come from this lad!

Actually found the shed upper when the ball was laid back to him unmarked on the penalty spot last night lol.

Let's hope the fans play their part today and there is no "it's only a championship side I can't be bothered" attitude. We need to get behind the team whichever team Jose chooses to play the FA cup is a special competition to CFC and we need to try win it again. Watford have a large chunk of the Shed for this game (6k I think ) so will be noisy we need to try silence them on and off the pitch!

In the system we play it's a no brainier, Willian

Think there should be a couple of changes with they ids coming up as well. Luis in for either branna or Dave and mikel in next to Matic. Who makes way for mikel depends on whose not recovered as well from the Westham game.

Thought he was very good today, was first to most second balls thus driving on and starting attacks. Links up well with others especially Hazard and covers an immense amount of ground. Unlucky with his long range effort today he is an integral part of our best 11. Forget the price tag, he never set it all he can do is do his best for Chelsea , which he does, that'll do for me so some need to cut the guy some slack!

Gary straker, he's unwell.

Thought he played well tbh, started like he was going through the motions but grew into the game more as it went on. The goals will return, surprised he never took the pen last night tbh.
