Courtois has signed a new 5 year deal.
That is excellent news.

In the red top comics, we are linked with, ronaldo!

Thoughts of a swap with Hazard next summer.

We have not been linked with him for at least 6 months.

The silly season must be back

But doesn't the jinx only affect managers of the month? Hopefully Garry Monk will find that out tomorrow!!

Lets hope Diego Costa keeps firing. One of my favorite players, and it's good to see him doing well at Chelsea.

Especially considering that most thought he'd flop after the world cup.

Costa now 'has a chance' to play tomorrow. Either way I wouldn't start him in midweek.

I would rest him for Saturday and let us see what Remy can do and bring Costa back for midweek and help ensure we get a winning start to the Champions League.

Lampard gets a start for City today.

It just seems wrong, but, i guess we can all watch Fabregas in his prime instead this afternoon.

If Costa is fit for today I'd play him, then give Remy a start midweek. I'd do a bit of shuffling for the Schalke game with the Man City game in mind, with something like this for midweek:

Cech
Azpilicueta
Ivanovic
Cahill
Luis
Mikel / Matic
Ramires
Schurrle / Willian
Oscar
Salah
Remy

Thats our strongest line up.

Should be a great game.

Pretty much. Personally I'd have Hazard in the number 10 position, and then have Willian in place of Oscar. If Oscar could rediscover his old form it'd be different.

City drop points - good news for us.

It was a good game, city and arsenal are good going forward but vulnerable at the back, though i think both teams would have beaten United. Wellbeck looks good too, unlucky not to score a brace.

We can go 5 points in front of city if we win. Lets keep our run going.

I don't think it should make too much difference who is given the central role on paper. I would like to see the midfield attacking trio showing plenty of movement and continuously interchanging. Agree with you about Willan though, he would edge it over Oscar in my opinion.

Yes, good result for us. Always like it when two rivals draw and both drop points.

I'm not going to panic, but we can't keep giving teams a goal start.

It was a poor goal to give away. Terry needed a shout to leave it but didnt get it.

Swansea look good, Chelsea nervous.

we havent had the ball in 5 minutes.

I think it shows that we can't really play Oscar and Fabregas against better sides, it just leaves Matic too exposed. We are really playing 4-1-4-1, Swansea are too good a side for us to get away with that.

Schurrle doesnt seem to be comfortable on the right, and is not covering when ivan gets forward.

Perhaps swap schurrle for willian in the 2nd half, push cesc into oscars position and bring on ram or mikkel.
