Chelsea Fans Channel is actually pretty good, Rory did a brilliant interview with Zola and Di Matteo last week.

RLC needs to get more games. He has the ability to be our new Lampard, box to box midfielder who can score. Losing him would be as big a mistake as manure selling Pogba

Do you think Leicester and West Ham will be in the top 6 by end of the season? probably not, this run of bad results will stop and we will hopefully put a run of good results together. I believe we can make it in the top 4, if we end up in the Europa League then no problem, what I do know is if we stick with Mou next season we will be fighting for the title. If we get rid of him now then come May we will be looking for another manager and we will be back to square one. Have a little patience.

I thought some of their challenges deserved yellows at least, if Costa had committed half of their fouls today they would have given him a 5 match ban

His movement looks more like the one you make when you are about to get hit in the nuts, probably saw Costa late and thought he would go Mike Tyson on his little cherries and shat his pants. Funny how the 4 cops around them did not even budge.

I knew we would not create lots of scoring opportunities at Stoke, it's a tough team to break down and they defend well. We did play pretty well, thought Hazard had a good game and you could see every player was trying their best. Around the 75th minute you could see the players losing faith, Willian and Hazard chased the ball less and they were tired. Psychologically we have a problem, we don't seem to have the reaction we used to in the past and as soon as we slow our build up play we are just too easy to read. Willian was practically just walking the ball in some stages and it allowed the Stoke defence to pick their man and close the space. I still believe we can get top 4.

Let's get AVB back then.... because we were amazing under him. I am not one of those fans who blindly follow Jose, I think he has partial responsibility in how we have started the season, mainly in his approach to issues such as the physios, Ivanovic, not dropping under performing players, using the same 11 for the whole of last season, but I do know that right now unless we get Ancelotti we will still struggle to get our season back on track. Maybe a nice visit by Roman or one of the big guys on the board at training tomorrow showing JM some support might wake these players up

With regards to the story in the papers about a player who would rather lose than win for Jose, I am f**king disgusted if that is true. Fans pay a fortune each year to follow these players, whoever it is surely gets paid an extremely large amount of money to play for one of the most recognised teams in the world and live a life of luxury in one of the world's best cities.... if that is not enough then f**k off elsewhere... If Hazard wants to leave in the summer then sell him for a ridiculous price and lets go after some new players incl Pogba, Griezman, Koke, Marquinhos and a good rb. I dont live in the UK anymore but I know if I lived in London I would be outside the Bridge today with some banners and get these so called players to realize they are more to blame than the manager. Also from now on, if I was Jose I would send the assistants to post match press conferences and give the media no sound bites at all, watch them start sucking up to him when their sales start dropping

I think some banners of support for JM at the next home game and the usual fans chants for him will help convince RA that Jose is still what we need at the moment, also maybe some banners demanding that the players start doing their job would be good

are you in Canada Plokoon?

Costa is on his way to hospital with a chest injury

I would love to beIN something .....

because of your comment Costa will now probably face a 3 game ban and so will Jose plus a fine....

good to see RLC getting his run of games..... on the bench..

I think some people are clutching at straws, Emanalo is not the problem, i think it is more complicated. We are going through a rough patch, and every time we lose a game it gets worse because the confidence gets less and less. I dont want JM out but i do think he has not helped the situation at all. His comments about some players in public, the Eva Carneiro situation, dropping JT who last year was immense, sticking with Brana even when its plain to see he needs dropping, sticking with Fabregas even though he needs to sit out a few games and maybe play Oscar, not playing Remy even though in pre season he was our best striker and Costa was overweight, not giving RLC a chance to prove himself even though he is good enough and Jose stated he would get a run of games, to ladt year playing the same 11 almost every game burning everyone out which was plain to see after xmas when our form dropped and by doing so also giving Schurrle no option but to leave. His sale of Mata and De Bruyne made no sense. His insistance on making flair players track back at the expense of their attacking ability, i am not saying Hazard is close to Messi but can you imagine if Jose insisted that Messi drop deep to help out the defence and leave him further away from the oppo goal... I think Jose has kind of lost the plot and in the process some of the squad, i would not be surprised if results dont improve we see Emanalo actually as part of the bench, Roman might not want to sack Jose but might accept a resignation by putting someone to scrutinise his work even more

JM needs to start playing players in their correct positions and pick players in form. Zouma is not a rb, and we will never know whether Baba is good enough if he doesn't get any games, Ramires as much as he's a great worker he is not a defensive midf at this stage I would rather see Mikel there. We all can see that Hazard and Fabregas are not 100%, drop them and let others try, we have Oscar who can play behind the striker, we have Kenedy and Pedro who can play on the wings. This season Fabregas has been a passenger regardless of what position he has been in, right now I would rather switch back to 3 in midfield and have Matic, RLC and one of Ramires or Mikel, then let the front 3 attack... today I saw Costa going wide and leaving no one in the box, Hazard at some stages was so deep that when we got possession and broke forward he had so much ground to make up to join the attack. I hope in January we sign a couple of players but I am not sure if JM will still be in charge by then.

Willian has been our best player again

Second half get RLC on for fabregas for f**ks sake

Jesus f**king christ

Is Oscar on the bench?
