Part of the reason Filipe was bought was so Chelsea could have natural full-backs on both sides. Bit harsh on Iva, but there you are!

Ivanovic will move back to his original position of cb now with Luiz gone I imagine with only terry and Cahill out other experienced centre backs.

That's what I'm assuming. It'll be good to see him back there.

Love Brana but he offers 0 going forward, can get into the box but his crossing is absolutely wank!

Will always maintain he never got a fair run of games for us, in fact the only time he was was towards the end of last season where he scored big goals for us!

Yup. There's a reason why Jose cancelled his Arsenal loan when Ozil joined. Ba sort of reminds me of Inzaghi - he has a knack for finding goals where you think there's none. I'm sure he would rip **** with a proper service.

Still puzzled why he was shipped off.

Might've wanted to leave. Would make sense.
 
Didier Drogba has retired from International football meaning we won't lose him for a month this season.

He tweeted them about it too.

@OptaJoe so you count all my appearances regardless Pepe's arrival to EPL but not all the clean sheets ... Very unusual ... :-D
 
Diego Costa with a wonderful goal, showing great strength, balance and dribbling with a cool finish to round it all off.
 
Great goal. So composed there at the end, even with entire Vietcong ganging up on him.
 
Hazard and Ba's bromance continues.

Bruno Alves's challenge on Diego Costa last night!

Just watched the two 45minutes despite it now being 05:10 and i'm shattered and back into work tomorrow afternoon! But all that unimportant stuff aside the first 45 i was very impressed, Oscar and Schurrle looked sharp, the back 5 looked as tight as always and the double pivot of Cesc and Matic looked formidable. But sometimes it takes a moment of genius to open the deadlock and boy we got that in Costa's goal! The power, close control and technique was absolutely exquisite and topped off by celebrating with Didier, oh how all of us are hoping we may have found that #9 at last! Loved the 2nd goal, free-kick routines in my eyes are something teams should do more of!

2nd 45 was tough as we did have all the ball but struggled to break a deep lying side down AGAIN! But i actually felt we had some width in Felipe Luis but his final ball was not great so i still stand by my opinion (which has been my opinion for about 18months now) that we lack a proper "chalk on your boots, beat your man and get to the byline" winger. All our attacking midfielders love to play on their weaker side and come inside onto their stronger foot to find a pass or take it on themselves.

Overall i'm quite content with what i saw tonight over the 90minutes except from us conceding from another set-piece! 90 more minutes on Sunday (which i will miss again due to work) and then Sociadad which i expect to see Jose's starting 11 for Burnley a week later start the game and one i will be attending myself!

Bruno Alvez looked like he ****** in his pants when Costa raged at him
 
Transfer window has gone awfully quiet for English clubs as of late ... Genuinely wouldn't mind taking either one of Hernandez/Fellaini off United's hands. They would add very nicely to our depth. I know United don't sell to rival clubs but think after the Mata sale, some goodwill has been created and they owe us one
