Why play forward when you can play sideways or backwards? Why play 1 pass when you can play 10? Why get 3 or 4 players in the opposing box when you can have 1? Why play a right-back at left-back when you can play Ivanovic there? Why play a player who can defend next to Matic when you can play Fabregas there? Answers on a postcard please Mr Mourinho!

You act as if these players are easily replaced, who do we have instead of Ivanovic and Fabregas?
Baba Rahmann yes, and has he been good?
Mikel, Ramires and RLC, none of whom are as good as fabregas. We would give RLC a run of 10 games, and if he played bad, you guys would slate him saying we need results and RLC to be eased in
He can't win. And we don't deserve him.

I wouldn't let her stress you, Hazard. In the last two weeks Mrs Costa has gone from - Jose tactics are outdated, to we will be top of the league come January, to this. Pretty sure she hasn't any idea how she actually feels and will continue to post depending on the results every week.

Not sure about outdated tactics, the question is 'what tactics'? And what is the point of paying big money for Rahman and not playing him (while Ivanovic has been awful)? Every time RLC and Kenedy have played they have been impressive - they are young and may not be up to being starters but, with the way we've been playing, why not give them a chance? The point about Fabregas was not that he shouldn't play but that he is not a defensive midfielder and is most effective further up the pitch. How can a team perform so well last weekend and be so awful yesterday? We created nothing, we defended too deep, we were tortoise-like in our build-up, and most importantly we were out-fought - so if it's not the manager's fault tell me why? And if you two are happy with that performance yesterday you strike me as the sort of supporters who were happier when we were a yo-yo team - ahhh, the good old days eh?

Ok precious, relax. Did you wake today? Had anyone died? No, then have some perspective in life.
I'm wasn't even arguing with you (I wasn't agreeing either) just pointing out you're view on the team changes game on game. Speaking of yo-yo's ;)

It's not the fact I'm happy with the performance, it's the fact in willing to support the team in a time of need rather than whinge about it non stop, as if it's going to help.
Chelsea fans are spoilt. We won the league last year, so I'm willing to give the team a poor run, they'll get throug it

I feel what MR's costa trying to say. We lack desire when we play, the team looks like they don't have a leader and as I was mentioning last year. That the time we lose terry we will go backwards. Also not letting young lads play when they truly deserve it is sad!
Anyway ramires really suprised me a lot as he was outstanding yesterday and even could have grabbed us the winner
