David Luiz was never an average defender. He had a mistake or lapse of concentration in him for sure, but his ability in the air, tackling, aggression and ball skill has always set him into the top tier of defenders in world football.

Let's put 4 past these, get our goal difference up just in case it were to come down to it. Must win game the same as all the rest of our games until the title is in our hands

Tom Davies looks like he'll be a quality player in years to come, very technically proficient and oldschool footballer, probably the only Everton player i thought played well today.

It's in the bathroom on the toiler paper holder

Amazing result. Going to go get my arsenal jersey on now for 90 minutes (and then burn it)

Pedro has been an under the radar hero this season, some big big goals

Where are our teeth?

I've changed my underpants twice in the first half, three goals early in the second half for us please so i don't have to do another batch of laundry

Unbelievable all round player, I'd happily have him here for two seasons while we develop the likes of Chalobah and RLC, not for 25 million though, under 20 would be reasonable in my eyes. He's quite injury prone though, so it's a bit of a gamble, but to be honest I can't see the club sanctioning it with our over 30s policy. He'd be the ideal partner for Kante though, since he's a true box to box midfielder

It was refreshing to watch a match with Martin Tyler and Niall Quinn commentating, as opposed to the sh*te that was the commentary in our FA cup game. I like Quinn as a commentator since he's one of the few who actively likes Costa and respects the style he plays in. Great result against what are is a decent Southampton team, though they didn't have much to play for last night really, but our performance was excellent. Defending needs some work though, despite his goal I thought Cahill had a poor enough game really, I'd play him against everton since we'll need his size to try and combat lukaku, but I think i'd rather have Ake in that position, he's much more composed than Cahill with the ball.

Never expected Alonso to turn into such a quality signing for us, he's a very elegant footballer, which i didn't expect. When i heard we signed him I really didn't know much about him, but was expecting an Ivanovic type (centre back converted to fullback), but he's so good going forward as well, and has great technique.

They're both totally different types of centre back, and before Zouma's injury I would have said Zouma was ahead of Christensen. A bit disrespectful to malign his ability after being out for a year with a horrendous knee injury.

Who is the other fella? I mean you have lineker, shearer and Lampard, three of the England's great players, and then . . . . that bloke

I'd say the agents make more than any footballer to be honest, with their fat fees from every transfer, and a lot of them have probably got up to 50 players on their books. They're like the mafia of the football world

I like this, just to elaborate on Willian's inclusion a little; he gets a fair bit of stick on here for not being creative enough and not doing enough with the ball in the final third, which to an extent I agree with, however what he does offer is ball retention. He's brilliant at retaining possession under pressure, it's very rare you see him get tackled or lose the ball without being fouled, which will be invaluable in games against high pressing teams like spurs, since he can skip away from defenders. That's in stark contrast to Costa who is a very poor dribbler and always runs straight into defenders, losing the ball. We need to control the game, so having players like him and Fabregas in the team would really help us set a tempo

He's a big lad, i'd say that would hurt

Looking forward to watching Juventus demolish barcelona at the Camp Nou tomorrow night, and hopefully then go on and draw madrid in the semis and demolish them too. Juve are favourites for me now, I just think that back to front they're the best side, and they play lovely football, much less c**ty than the Spanish sides, a Monaco-Juve final would be the dream

Going to say that we should play a front three of Pedro, Hazard and Willian, they play a high line, and while their full backs are very good offensively, they can be gotten at one on one. I also think we should start Cesc alongside Kante in the middle, we need someone who can control the game, and Matic, while I think he gets an unfair ribbing on here, isn't up to scratch in that regard. We have to hope Courtois is back for this, and I'm sure Alonso will be fit anyway. This will be a tough game, going to say we'll score two late goals to win 3-1 though. Pedro, Cahill and Hazard to score.

He actually hasn't, Conte bought him then left and never actually got to work with him

Wow. So this is it. I've been following Chelsea since I was a young kid, and JT has been the only every present, it's going to be really strange to see us as a club without him around. The true definition of a club legend, and even if he joins another premier league club, he'll still be one of those few 'one club men' in my eyes. We need to win this title for him, send him out on a high note and let him lift that premier league trophy one last time. People are saying it's a strange time to announce it, but I think it's a good time, it should galvanise the fans and dressing room for the run-in with Spurs on our heels. Captain, Leader, Legend. Thanks for everything JT

Alright, settle down.

Seen others say what? I'm not really sure what you mean there Aaaaaanyway, back to Hazard, I do think it's between him and Kante, no question, but I'd personally rather Kante got it to be recognised for the stellar job he's done

I take it you've been watching them after a few pints of whiskey? Because aside from one or two errors, he's been as good as ever. It is a witch hunt, if it was gary cahill, terry or dave playing like that people would be saying they're having the season of their life, but because of this view people have of Luiz as an error prone defender he rarely gets the praise he deserves for his consistency

I'd be delighted if it was moved somewhere else to be honest. If Ireland qualify i'd love to go to the World Cup, but safety concerns about travelling to Russia are very real in my opinion. They should just move it to a country with the infrastructure in place . . . coughEnglandcough
