Traore isn't tracking back on the left which should mean Alonso and Hazard get some space.

In this type of game Cesc is an absolute Rolls Royce player, brilliant. 

Replaced by CFC Official Twitter?

Was it? I don't have a Twitter account so I wouldn't know

11 men behind the ball.

hopefully we score soon and it opens up a bit. Boro not interested in attacking us, probably hoping for a set play or counter.

Costa's first touch 

Hey, it's getting better at least.

How does he run so fast with all of that muscle to carry around ?

Have you seen his legs? thighs like a racehorse

It's gonna be another game where it takes until the second half for an opposition player to get a booking. 

 

I'd put my mortgage on our first foul in our 3rd of the pitch being a yellow card.

I'd have let Alonso take that

When he was stretching at the start of game his muscles has muscles on them, guys a tank.

lol Luiz wasn't going to let anyone else take that. Hopefully that's the last one today....

Luiz needs to get off free kick duty. Alonso is far better, as is Willian. Fabregas is better. Even Costa is better 

Ah, probably should have done better there Fabregas.

Having a CB who can pass like that is such a weapon. 

Aww Cesc that's not like you from there! 

 

We need the opening goal to pull them out.

Rats.  Gotta at least challenge the keeper Fab

Poor that from Cesc 

Been a bit wasteful now

I think it was the distance, if it was closer, i think Alonso would have taken it.

Hit the target!

For shorter distances i agree, but for longer ones I'd definitely take Luiz.

Cesc is great. I can cut him so much slack because his attitude is just wonderful. I'm not sure I have ever seen a passer of the ball better than Fab.

I'd use Courtois for really long distance ones.

He's allowed one or two of those considering his passes....

Carlo & Sheva at the game, love that!

Knocking on the door here.

 

Matter of time?
