A must win game, and it's the exact same 11 who were crap against Leicester.

... and the same performance.....

[968]

Yup it’s all going the same way, not utilising possession, not scoring and I’m guessing they’ll concede a goal shortly.

[Black can man]

Great finish from Hazard

[968]

Then they throw it away with pathetic defending, both from the corner and the attack preceding it. Ridiculous.

[Sparkyhd]

Expecting us to finish behind Utd.

[968]

Why do they keep passing it around inside their own box or just around it? It's the most kamikaze defending.This is a slender lead if ever I saw one.

You're 8 points clear. Quite pessimistic right now?

You're perceptive

Good game, Chelsea deserved to shade it. Without Hazard you'll struggle.

What really irks, is that if the Deulofeu challenge had been a Chelsea player going down, a penalty would have been given and the pundits would be claiming he was entitled to go down. I don't believe it was a pen though.

I thought that was a definite pen, until I saw it from the other angle and Delafeu locks arms with Luiz and drags Luiz down on top of him. From the back where the ref was, looked like a pen, but it wasn't. Not sure how the ref got that right!

What I'd give to have someone like Diego Costa up front in this team.......

Yes. I said Costa, mainly because I think he'd probably love playing under Sarri whereas he didn't under Conte....Drogba had left before that.

[Sparkyhd]

I settle for Trevor Aylott compared to Morata.

Good signing if true

Has caused mixed reaction. He's decent enough don't get me wrong. Some saying it's more of a marketing signing as he's USA's golden boy.

In other news - I hope we don't sell CHO to Bayern.

[Sparkyhd]

Getting socks for Christmas is a hell of a lot more exciting than this dross.

[dsmith1990]

Too pedestrian as usual! Giroud getting nothing but scraps and we either don't put the ball in early enough from wide areas or it's a crap cross.

[mikal83]

Some good points about todays game but it was more "Xmas pass the parcel" ish. Giroud ripped off and now has a badly sprained ankle I think, so Morata to the rescue...………..oh st.
