I love out scoring opponents but we need to sort out our defense pronto. Chelsea doesn't concede every game unless the managers initials are AVB
 
Thanks Mou for bringing Remy in. He's captain for my Fantasy team.

It'll tighten up once the fixtures pile up. 6-3 and 4-2. Built leads quickly and at this early stage why not push for more?!

The quality of sides hasn't been excellent though. Put us against a quality team like City and they will destroy our Fabregas-Matic pivot

Mourinho will set up differently. To be what most expect. Pragmatic and ruthless.
 
Oscar and Schurrle will be out against City, Ramires and Willian back in, just like against Everton.

I would love Mourinho to give Willian the go in the center, Oscar is not at he's best.
Hazard....Willian....Salah would be my choice behind the striker, for games like this.

Not too sure mate. Oscar might not be a beast offensively but he does a lot of little things that makes the side rock. Stuff such as dropping back to cover for Fabregas and pressing the opposition. Very hardworking lad who adds balance to our attack

Indeed he does cover a lot of ground, but he can be very frustrating sometimes. Today for example he slowed/stopped a number of chances, and not to mention the ridiculous amount of backheels.

Salah is **** at the moment. He just runs. That's all he does. He can't finish for ****.

Yeah he can be incredibly frustrating at times although he is also capable of some absolutely wonderful moments on his day. Remember his CL debut vs Juventus?

I think he needs an extended break for some time because he has been playing an awful lot of football. Hopefully Mourinho recognizes that
 
I'd be very interested to see what Oscar could do in the "Fabregas Role". He has all the attributes for it and it would play to his natural tendency to drop deep for the ball and slowing play down. Such a role would ensure that he doesn't blunt as many attacks as he does.
 
Very good game to look at this one because there were positives and negatives. Negatives are obviously not only going 1 down but we should have been 2 or 3-0 down. That along with conceding 5 goals in the last 2 games, Jose will not let us keeping attacking like this if it's effecting the defence.

Positives go as followed, 4-3-3, Hazard, Jose's subs, Remy debut goal, Fabregas oh and that lad by the name of DIEGO ******* COSTA!!!!! For so long now we have lacked a striker who scores scrappy tap in goals mainly against the "lesser" sides and what a start with 7 goals in his first 4 games! I'm more impressed that unlike last season we actually broke down a side who sat deep after going 1-0 up.

Overall obviously i'm absolutely delighted but Jose will not be i can guarantee you all that. TOP OF THE LEAGUE! UTC

Fabregas should have this role as he is world class at it.
