Good lad Traore.

 

All the people in here telling Hiddink to take him off.

Have a word with yourself.

 

Persevere with youth and thou shall be rewarded

Why is hazard not bursting a gut there to get inside the full back and let willian slip the ball in

Traore is a well rounded player, I think he has a lot of upcoming talent

Willian should hit target if he does score many from free kicks from similar distances.

but not with left

Tony Gale says that Traore has to toughen up...........even though he was clearly shoved and fouled by the Stoke player.

I really wish people would stop screaming for Mikel to shoot from 30 yards out. 

Oscar ... come on man! 

Blatant as you like!!

Tony Gale just hates Chelsea doesnt he.

RLC to replace Oscar and Fabregas to replace Mikel in the second half, give Mikel a rest for PSG and give Matic to play to gain confidence.

stupid ivanovic

Good half in the end, but we could do with some more concentration. Stoke have had some close shaves!! 

Not bad, we actually played some good attacking football. More to come in the second half, well done!

Rather keep Mikel on if it means he won't play against PSG

Oscar has made his "typical contribution". Get him off second half, bring in Remy. Traore or him on the right flank is preferable.

Zinc? Any chance of Traore footwork on that goal please?

An even game at half time i would say, we were lucky not to go behind twice and we are clearly missing Fabregas, but i think we have been ok. Great strike by Traore to give us a 1-0 lead at half time. Rahman has been ok today so far up against Shaqiri, hopefully that continues. Hazard has been a bit better too, he's still missing that little be of something special though.

And what? Play Matic instead?????

Missed the first 20 minutes did I miss much? Brilliant from Traore seems to be the only one in our team not scared to take a shot from outside the box. Come on Chelsea

Great goal, other than that it's fair to say Stoke was the better team, should have scored at least 1 on the quick counters. The Mike/Matic midfield combo has been awful so far, why, why picked them again after their midweek performance?

Why would you want Mikel to miss the PSG game ? He was the one that got the away goal and is the only one playing well in that position right now.

My apologies for the delay.

 

What a goal that was! 

 

We got a gem on our hands.

 

And what? Play Matic instead?????

Just as awful as each other really, least there's a chance Matic might play well.

I know. Mikel knows he can score from that distance, but just doesn't want to take up the limelight ;-)

Traore or Drogba????
