Mikel on

Cesc off

Mikel to score the equalizing goal from a corner

And now the bubbles are being blown...

Think it's time to go for 3 at the back, Zouma isn't a right back anyway so not as if we're losing anything there. Dave is having a poor game by his standards, and on a yellow, so I would (reluctantly) bench him for Mikel.

 

             Begovic

 

       Zouma-Cahill- JT

Ramires                    Willian

             Mikel Fabregas

                  Hazard

                  Costa

 

If Hazard doesn't wake up in 15 minutes, put on Oscar, likewise with RLC for Fabregas. Come on you blues.

Idiocy from Jose getting sent to the stands, when chaos is going on around him he should be the centre of calm.

What kind of message does that send to the players?

"For me the team looks like they are waiting for a new manager"

Scarily, I am starting to lean towards this view too. But Mourinho should be good enough to turn this sentiment around. There is too much controversy about the team at the moment. I want Mourinho to pipe down ... if we lose this, he should just go. Look, we were unlucky ... we move on.

Oh, and Mourinho was sent off too. Utter ridiculous.

We've seen it before haven't we?

I wish he'd pipe down abit but I don't want him to go personally

Looks like our whole bench is in the stands lol

I just don't get how we've gone from Champions to this?

If they want it enough they can do it. It's time to show desire

If Jose is on a rant it is pretty childish to think the players can keep their cool. I expect us to lose this game. Sorry to sound so negative but I don't see anything pisitive in our game.

I think everyone is more annoyed because he let it go then came back and said OK you're off.

Players don't seem interested. Manager seems clueless. We know what Jose's capable of that's why he gets our support regardless but this season I've seen nothing from him or the players. We've been 'out-tacticed' to put it in the words of Big Sam. We haven't look like title contenders in a single game this season so far. Before we start pointing fingers at refs the blame must go on the players and the manager too.

It's the players, not the manager.

We've beaten them with 10 men twice before from memory

I love the man, but he is getting absolutely everything wrong this season.

The pikeys are gonna park the bus and hit us on the break...

It's the players, not the manager.

I agree the players have to take blame but the manager is not blameless.

Quick, someone call Papy, this is his chance!

We just can't get a run going can we

@Legend ... I don't want him to go either. I hope he stays ... I can't see a better manager out there. 

I agree the players have to take blame but the manager is not blameless.

What can he do? These guys are adults. If they choose to sulk and be undisciplined, there is nothing he can do about it. We have a team full of bloated divas and prima donnas. 

It's the players, not the manager.

I get the impression it's everybody.

Surround the ref to get a player sent of, no bookings.

Surround the ref to stop a player being sent of, two bookings.

Cool.

I'd laugh if I wasn't crying by now...

It's all gone Pete tong

Almost in
