so we are in 15th now

 

We are steering clear of the relegation zone....

We played well after we woke up and decided to actually have a go.

The suspension of Costa was huge. We looked very limp without him.

Credit to Ramires who played with great drive. Also Dave and Cahill on the left.

Plenty of others were awful but I'll leave it to others to stick the knife in.

Good point under the circumstances. Given Pedro's Kaloulike miss we could have even won.

Thank god for our Brazilian contingent !

Big thanks to Ramires and Willian!

 

I'm disappointed because we had to win this game. We could grab all the 3 points, but we didn't deserve to. Jose MUST make changes because his favorite starting line can't give us what we want.

Thanks a lot :)

Good come back. Newcastle is not an easy place to go to and they played to win.

 

Really ? every other team seems to be able to manage it pretty well.

I think its pretty obvious that given how easily we have won games when playing our subs and how we have saved a few games by using subs... that our subs are currently better than our starters...

Does anyone else find it really weird that Willian has suddenly become a goal threat from freekicks?

Two defensive mistakes cost us the goals today. Which may not have mattered if our attack had managed to produce a goal to get the lead before they fill their sails. I'd love to see Jose play players who are in form and drop those not performing.

 

Is that the only type of goal Willian knows how to score? LOL

I don't think he has to be honest. Both were goalkeeping mistakes.

It looks like Jose has lost the dressing room, and a couple of heroics at the end aren't going to change that. 

Extremely well done to Willian and Ramires, especially Ramires., I don't rate the guy but he was very good when he came on.

We didn't deserve a point to be honest, Jose needs to sort this mess out.

Im ready for RCL and Baba. Send Costa back to Madrid.

F* useless team and manager. Let's be honest, it's 2 points lost and we didn't deserve any better from the game. There's no excuse to start the game so poorly again, and picking the same underperformed players. It's some luck at the end we got a point and saved Jose from the sack. Jose will probably play his best team on Tuesday and leave out Cesc and Ivan, rest assured they will be back to keep our blood pressure high against Southhampton.

Saved Jose from the sack?! Lol.

Find some patience and back the team that won us the title last season. I'd say the squad could use some fan support now more than ever.

By far our best set piece taker. Fabregas is useless at them.

Haven't read all the knee-jerk w**k in here.  I know what it will be.  My Chelsea, right or wrong.

Rami willed it and Willi rammed it.

LOL, I know it sounds better like that but it was the other way round

Where was remy then? Did he play the full 90? No choices when Costa is out.

Snatched a point where we didn't deserve anything however I'll take it. It was obvious we took Newcastle to lightly and our body language looked utter fatigue. Ramires for me MOTM with honorable mention to Azpi.

Lucky freak bounce missed by the keeper, twice in a season. Last time I saw it was Rooney against us in the FA Cup

Give Traore a chance! Mourinho himself said he thinks him as a striker.

My player ratings:

 

Begovic - 6

Ivanovic - 4

Zouma - 6 ( One mistake gave them goal but he was good, Mitrovic was out of the game)

Cahill - 6

Azpi - 7 (MOTM)

Matic - 5 

Fabregas - 3

Pedro - 5 

Oscar - 5 ( He had to play 2 positions, he did what Fabregas had to)

Hazard - 5 ( Began to play only at the end of the second half)

Remy - 4

 

Subs:
 

Falcao - N/A 

Willian - 6 ( Changed the game, scored a free-kick.)

Ramires - 6 ( Fantastic goal, added more attacking football but Jose had to give him more time)

Simply not good enough. We again started poorly, not up for the fight. Far too many are in the starting eleven on reputation only. The point we gained has papered over that we may miss out on a top four finish,getting a champions league position via winning it again is unlikely.

Could give a sperm bank a run for its money.
