No.... we drop points again... and we fielded quite a strong squad... what happened? didn't watch the game.... Hazard missed a penalty... I guess that's not a norm for him...

taking positively, its a game that we can afford to drop points

bpl teams no win this GW.

our attacking dept not too productive for the last couple of games. need to do more vs pools.

same problem like last season... no strikers... our only fit striker is 36 years old... how bad luck to have our first choice and second choice plagued with injuries...

filipe luiz is not pressing the opponent hard. We need Dave the minion back,can he play vs pool?

Shurrle performed badly
No form at all

yup... dave will be available against liverpool... I think he'll restore his place...

We had our chances. Oh man we had our chances. Nobody brought their shooting boots today and i think Didier in particular looked really2 off. A lot of our attacking moves ended with his mistakes, and it's a small wonder he managed to stay on.

Again i don't understand the fascination with starting schurrle instead of taking a chance on salah.willian wasn't effective but i'd rather he stayed on instead of the drog. Rami on the right was a bit confusing too as I think a back three of luis,iva and JT/ Zouma would suffice,and instead of rami,another attacking player should've remained a viable last minute addition.

Hazard really needs to take more shots and work on his one on one finishing.could've won the game for us with a couple of goals,which were both easy chances for a player of his stature. Needs to up his game by about 50% if we wish to get anything from anfield.

We're slowly becoming reliant on the belgian wizard to settle scrappy games,and that's not good. Other players need to step up too!

today

maribor pun kenot makan..

that's what I said earlier... In Champions League, there are no easy team.

Def another striker problem. Can't rely on Costa alone and was suppose to have Remy to back up. Instead end up relying on old Drog.

No idea what happened to schurrle after coming back from that winning World Cup. Don't really like the way he's been taking blind shots from outside the penalty box. Preferably he made his cutting runs and scoring. Totally no form this match. Unaware of hi position, keep getting offside. If this keeps up, I am fear for him that Mourinho might just sell him off.

Fabregas also lil bit off this game. Maybe fatigue setting in. Ramires didn't offer much on the right as well

Against pool this weekend at Anfield and they rested their stronger team. Hope we can seal a victory there. Could boost the morale of the team

That makes his first penalty missed this season.

Yeah, definitely his 1st miss. Already had a bad feeling when he was stepping up to the penalty, maybe because Maribor GK is god mode. Must win games against Sporting Lisbon and Schalke now.

i think is ok for chelsea draw.
definitely a win for chelsea nx match

about Schurrle, he always shots a lot, even before he won the world cup..

the difference here is that now he shot off the target, while before this on the target.

He also rarely try to outrun and run behind the defenders.

maybe time for Salah to get some minutes against Liverpool, for me Willian must start.

Didnt catch the game, but I think we did okay for the comeback. Penalty is a lottery, Hazard 100% record will come to an end eventually and thank god it's not BPL match.

Shalke lost and we going to play Sporting at home next. We should be fine and let cutting some slack to those players.

Yeah, Schurrle is way off target more now after the WC. He's definitely not the best finisher we have in the squad. Costa looks a bit rusty during the introduction but gradually eased into the game especially with that strike where the keeper tip it off the cross bar.

Look like November slump very hard to shake off.
few player off form and player come back from injury needed few more match to sharp again.

yea. need more rotation within the players.
seriously i really hope salah get his times.
he has speed. rmb the goal against arsenal?
when goes to december, cant afford much mistakes else drop points.
is crucial as other teams like manu dun hv CL match and reserved more energy.


btw, mc is really in trouble now.
somwhow i hope mc and liverpool can advance to nx stage then lose after that.
so that they wont be able to reserve too much for bpl matches.

lol a bit worried with Schurrle's form. who knows come January he might be sold off?
Cech already tied to UCL.

last season Mourinho warn Hazard, Oscar and Schurrle to improve
Oscar doing well, so is Hazard. Schurrle on the other hand, hasn't been up to par since coming back from winning the WC.
