Wow, Jose, I think Mata wants to tell you something pal and all you have to do is listen.

He doesn't have to be a poacher any more. He's actually been playing pretty well as a much more complete sort of striker in recent times for us: holding the ball up and winning it in the air, as well as running at defences and using his pace
How so? Torres did a pretty good job of bullying the last two defences he's played against.
It's not that we don't have the players for it, it's just that it's a tactic that works in a limited niche and requires a lot of effort to pull off effectively.

Yes, Torres is on-form now, but he's still yet to have a long spell of consistency at Chelsea. And I think Chelsea should give the strikerless formation a go once Torres's spell of good form ends, it's worth a try.
Finally just watched the full 90 minutes and just WOW! Jose will not sleep from now until Saturday because he has 23 odd players who all deserve and want to play for this club. Everything was absolutely spot on today, the pressing, the countering, the ball retention when we had it and so on a so forth.
When you make 10 changes from the weekends game yet still have that starting 11 and that sort of performance from that 11 it just shows how strong this squad is. Willian, Bertrand, and Mata stood out for me today. To be fair Jenkinson made it easy for Bertrand and Willian by being so ****, how the **** he has an England cap i'm not even sure he would be 1st choice for the nation he turned down (Finland)! Mata's pressing in very deep areas at times was an absolute joy to watch, there is a player responding positively to constructive criticism, a big "f**k you" to all the media who slated Jose for leaving Mata out and questioned him.
I could easily go on for hours writing about us at the moment but i am pretty sure we are all on the same page. I'll end by saying a massive thank you to all 9k Chelsea fans. All i could hear on the radio coverage was your voices which made my shift enjoyable.
One thing i will say is that, ladies and gents Jose Mourinho is well and truly back! UTC!

When he plays like that he offer more than Schurrle because Willian's passing is sensational too.
Both offer varying qualities... Schurrle is more direct and has a wicked shot on him
Hardly Arsenal B, they started with Ramsey, Wilshere and Cazorla who are all in their first XI and brought on Giroud and Ozil later on in the game. I suppose we are more excited by how comprehensively we beat them with a second-string albeit supremely talented side
And Koscielny
Yes, we are excited that our second string beat Arsenal's second string which included their top scorer this season............
And Ryo Miyaichi and Nicklas Bendtner.
Now matter how you try to spin it, your bench completely ***** on theirs. So its a bit weird that you're trying to sell it as some epic victory heh.
Thats the reason why Chelsea fans are happy with the victory because it shows just how strong the team is this season even after making 10 changes to the line up! Feels nice to actually have some depth in the Chelsea squad for the first time in a while.
And that's exactly the reason why we are so happy with the win!!!!
Well we had according to some the worst defender on the planet in Luiz, according to some "what does he offer" Mikel and Samuel "old and past it" Eto'o playing lol.
Awful lot of spin going on. One strong side beat another. Simple really.
Bertrand Traore has signed for the club on a four and a half year deal. He looked pretty good in pre season whilst on trial at the club
Great news! He was our best player in Asia in the summer.
The exact reason Willian joined us was to get a Brazil call-up and it has happened, totally deserved.
