Well watched the game and thought it was a good team performance.
Trouble is from when there player goes off, clattenburg never gave us another decision.
No pen very few fouls every thing went there way.
I don't mean this literally but I hope hazard is injured because if not his performance was disgraceful. He made no effort. Also if remy thinks he should playing he's an idiot, because he was worse than hazard. He's lazy and constantly offside. This is imo.

Can't agree more, missed effort from both guys. Anyway without trying hazard made 2 great chances which remy couldn't take.
Can't really bamford or traore do worse than remy? Even think falcao is a better choice.
The big shout also has to go to costa, fabregas and zouma. All were superb this game (Ivanovic too)!
What I didn't understand why arsenal fans were booing Fabregas? He did nothing wrong to them, and it was them who refused to sign him.
{Ed002's Note - Falcao is injured, Bamford cannot be played as it would block a sale or further loan. It will be known within a few days if the representative from Marseille can lure Traore away - she is due in to Chelsea tomorrow or Tuesday. The club would like Traore to stay but the ball is in his court right now.}

Hazard played about 15 minutes at the end of the match after a period out injured. What did you expect from him?

Certainly strange performances from both Hazard and Remy - lacking dynamism and accuracy - Remy wanting move in this window perhaps? He could have scored at least a couple, and that would have saved us all from sweating through those last few minutes. But both are good players and I'd want them back trying unless we can bring in players of equal quality - a hard task esp. re. EH. Pato surely not the answer up front as back up for DC.

Second half sat back too much against 10 men and invited pressure, personal opinion I thought terry and Zouma were solid and the likes of matic and fabragas raised there game significantly ( particularly the later ) . Also I thought hazard showed glimpses in his short time on, however remy was appalling. Also Ivanovic continues to annoy me with his theatrics, diving on the floor appealing when he looses a header, when he should be tracking back stopping the cross etc ( without hands behind his back ) . But overall good win, and some positive signs.

RE: Traore Ed, would that be a loan deal?
{Ed002's Note - Yes.}

LRDlt,
It wasn't the fact we didn't re-sign Cesc, it was the manager in which he engineered a move to Barca.
He refused to play for us, even though Arsenal were still paying his wages and said "I will give up my £4m loyalty bonus to leave".
Personally, it didn't bother me that much, and still doesn't, his heart has always been at Barca, he was always going to return 'home'.
If media reports (at the time) were to be believed, it was the manner of the way he moved, and not the move itself.

How can anyone can have a go at Hazard today! Jeez, he was only on for 15 minutes and created 2 openings for Remy - what do you people expect!
