Surely some truth to it whether in January or the Summer remains to be seen, but I think we're the most likely destination.

ergh Craig Burley. 3 or 4-1 Chels.

Guy is very good, would be a bargain, but once again we should have kept Meireles, was superb for us when needed tbh.

Still think it will be comfortable for us tbh, Corinthians weren't that impressive in their first game, and I think they'll sit really deep against us.

Luiz is a future Brazil captain, can see him being our's too, my god, I remember his English nearly 2 year's ago when he first arrived, was comedic brilliance.

Solid, very easy win. Not too fussed about giving away the clean-sheet at the end, we had our minds on the final after 17 minutes.

Kid is going to be immense in 5 years.

Just sign him, NO ONE can control him.

Sadly, I don't think it will be. I see Roman keeping him regardless, to stop the situation getting any more embarrassing for himself rather than the club and it's fans.

Embarrassing, very embarrassing.

Haha, get's worse and worse every week, looks that far off scoring, 2 shots within 13 yards or so straight at the keeper.

Embarrassing, hard to find positives out of any derby loss, but especially this one, hardly anything, bleak, boring, and awful to say the least. Not a good week.

Nope.

He MIGHT change something, but nothing drastic - same system, formation, maybe a less obvious change of personnel, I dunno, maybe Oscar out for Moses/Marin? But other than that I expect it will be a similar lineup to the City game, but I am almost certain Cahill will start ahead of either Luiz, Ivanovic, or Azipilicueta (I think he deserves to start at RB, has been very solid, and his determination/work rate has been superb) if he's not ill like he was at the weekend. - So a 4-2-3-1, surely more attacking even if it's slight to the City game. 2-0 Chelsea. Come on lads, back to winning ways.

45] Ben Jacobs †@ JacobsBen Rafa also told me Torres is nursing a knee injury and, although still playing, it is affecting his form/confidence # Chelsea Expand 45] 1hBen Jacobs †@ JacobsBen Finally, Benitez is looking forward to linking up with Fernando Torres again, but revealed he has a knee injury which is affecting his form Expand 45] 1hBen Jacobs †@ JacobsBen The deal is worth around 3m per year # Chelsea @ ChelseaFC Expand 45] 1hBen Jacobs †@ JacobsBen Rafa was actually approached before Di Matteo was hired,but Abramovic decided not to go with him. There was interest though eight months ago Expand 45] 1hBen Jacobs †@ JacobsBen Rafa was offered the job eight days ago, so the midweek Champions League defeat had nothing to do with Di Matteo's dismissal # Chelsea Expand 45] 1hBen Jacobs †@ JacobsBen Rafa has signed an 18th month deal with an opt out at the end of the season, but he could continue for longer # Chelsea @ ChelseaFC Expand 45] 1hBen Jacobs †@ JacobsBen @ Chelsea fans, @ MESportsTalk can exclusively reveal the following after spending the night in Dubai with Rafa Benitez... Expand lol, I expect this is true - this Ben Jacobs guy did get pictures with Rafa and is based in Dubai.

I don't know how the board can explain this? It's shocking but not in a way, but Rafa??? RA wants the "sexy" football, the attacking football, BUT WE ALL KNOW HOW RAFA PLAYS.... We've replaced Robbie, ROBERTO DI MATTEO, A CHELSEA LEGEND, who won the Champions League, something one of our favorite sons, Jose couldn't do. We've replaced him, that legend guy, with Rafa Benitez, a guy who called the club and it's fans, soulless and passionless, a guy who was sacked at Inter within 6 months. The board can't explain this, there's no logic to it... I can only react one way, and even after that I still don't know what to say, but it is VERY embarrassing. I'll support Rafa, he's a Chelsea manager now, but it's a really shocking decision, another embarrassing decision, and another day/week when we are the headlines for the "wrong" reasons.

What if we lost the next 10 games, would Rafa be sacked? I don't think so.

It's an awful, awful, feeling. So did/do I RFC_CFC, it's not a good feeling knowing the treatment a true legend of the club has received, ESPECIALLY if Rafa is appointed, I wouldn't know how to react, just a horrible thought.

Guillem Balague â€@GuillemBalague Rafa Benítez has not been called or approached by Chelsea This guy's pretty good reliable isn't he?

I'm lost for words... I feel awful, it's a horrible, horrible feeling. Surely the board won't be that stupid, and get rid of Robbie for Rafa - would be the most shameful, embarrassing situation. Surely would be the most unwelcomed appointment/signing in the club's history, will be total uproar if this is the case. Word's can't describe how angry, gutted, disappointed I am. 6 months ago we were crowned Kings of Europe, 3 weeks ago we were top of the league, the next minute, sacked.

Big one, tough time to go to The Hawthorns, but yep, a game we should be winning.

Disappointed, felt like a loss. Absolutely blatant push but we should have been out of sight before HT but in saying that the performance was fine if I'm honest, we just didn't take our chances, but still very disappointing that we didn't because Liverpool weren't in it at all and once again play poorly and get a result.

Not good enough, regardless if we were unlucky or the better side - the game should have been killed off ages before they equalised.
