Matic played well, I thought. 

Me too, he was definitely good in attack. 

Good to have us back to winning ways though! Hopefully we can climb the table now.

Valuable 3 points and I told you Manchester United are in crisis. Let's hope they crash and burn.

All of a sudden my proclamations of 60-63 points for 4th places doesn't look that mental.

Magic wasn't great, by the standards of last season, but I thought he was okay-good.

Did have a few noticeably poor moments, but not horrible, overall.

He is better than we think, on the ball, and a good passer. Just seems to give up that side of his game with Fabregas on the pitch.

On the booing issue.

Do we know for sure, Costa and Fabregas were culpable behind the scenes for them to be singled out like that?

Me too, he was definitely good in attack. 

I half agree on that. He covers the ball good when going forward and is often able to push through the first line but defensivly his " i  only pass with my left foot" is really irksome.

or they sack LVG today-tomorrow, and will bring Jose asap, so in a very short time we gonna meat Jose again

At last..    Highlights - http://footballvideohighlights.com/chelsea-vs-sunderland-highlights-premier-league-december-19-2015_63266f7a1.html

Costa defo needed booing he's been disgraceful all season footballwise. Drogba got some stick in his early days and came back stronger.

Need to build on this now. This was promising and most of the players were much, much better. Even liked what i saw from Fabregas today.

We played against a toothless Sunderland team and could not score from free play. The Pedro goal was more an opportunistic goal than something that is born out of pure attacking play. I think our play seemed much better only because we are playing a bad team with a really bad form. I dont see much positives from the last week in terms of effectiveness.

 

Having said that I dont care how we get the 3 points as long as we get it. 

José to man.u.. Mata to Chelsea

A bittersweet win in my opinion,i am glad some of the players started playing well again,in particular Ivanovic,Oscar and Pedro,but it's sad they didn't care to put anything of this level until they got what they wanted.

 

I also think some of the players need a bit of booing to either get them back in shape or make them leave,which i'd rather them do that,instead of playing badly every week and still being paid like they are.Especially now since the pressure is on them,as there is no one else to blame if anything goes bad.

 

Hope the form continues tho and we get top 4,which could be their way of showing that Mourinho was the one wrong and it was the right decision to let them play their game.

I hope people booing the players know other world class players watching will be put off completely by fans who had no idea what was going on inside the club so when we lose out on a top star don't complain

No they won't.

If Jose goes to United I'd happily have Mata back. Selling him was the worst decision Jose made.

Amazing.

Sack immediately Oscar, Fabregas, Costa, Ivanovic and Matic and put them in the jail - they are criminals. They have contracts and if they don't do the clauses they have - should go right to the prison. 

If Jose goes to United I'd happily have Mata back. Selling him was the worst decision Jose made.

It's the one thing he got right. Selling De Bruyne was the mistake.

If I recall, we were playing like this in the swansea game, intense, crisp passing, quick one two interplay, good movement etc.. damn, 1 moment of madness and bang the season in jeopardy.. can we restart the season? sh*t, hopefully it's not too late.. shame some fans ain't helping.. what the hell are they trying to achieve by booing those who played well?  Chelsea need to climb up the table and maybe win some thropies to make up for the season.. 

Couldn't watch the game, I'm very happy with the win, but I was disappointed to see Costa and Fabregas starting again. 

Ashamed to be a fan today; we pay good money and these players have cheated us and Jose. Wore no shirt or scarf today; deservedly booed and I reserved some slagging for Emelano who together with some in Blue want kicking out cattle truxkin spoilt frauds. Not worthy of being mentioned as Chelsea players alongside the greats we have known down the decades.

Great result, disgusting performance

De Bruyne was also a mistake but Mata was on his way to becoming the next Zola for us and he was treated with no respect and booted out of the club for no real reason

Great result, disgusting performance

How was the performance disgusting?

Only 11 points behind 4th now.

 

We can definitely make that up and take one of the CL places. Can't believe JM just gave up on that ...most puzzling ...
