Ah get up Costa.

It's the hope that kills you really. That, and the "what if we hadn't fcuked up" thoughts.

Barr

That's one of the fastest ever 30 mins of football I have watched in a while

Manach

This is turning out to be much more exciting match than was expecting.

Rayne Wooney

If Chelsea players bottled the title now youd almost feel a bit sorry for Mourinho :pac:

Its one of the weirdest halfs too. What a terrible performance from the back line. Bring on f**king Zouma

GavRedKing

If we bottle this jose will be sacked

Johner

Lads relax plenty of time left.

Barr

Fook we are so bad at the back we are making Hull look like PSG

Lukker-

How many mistakes does Cahill have to make before he gets dropped?

He'll be sacked. No way this team will get enough points in the run in.

Burnley and Hull taking the p*ss out of Jose's teams. Good luck.

Forget it; you won't blow this now. Not enough games left for you to fcuk up. I reckon you'd have to lose at least three for us to catch you (more for Arsenal, can't see anyone else reeling you in). In the last 9 or 10 games, whtever you have left. And you've only lost two (?) all season. Ain't gonna happen.

Sanity_Saviour

this team are an absolute joke at times

we have a left back who can't defend or attack, a Cahill who's forgotten the rules of the game, a Brazillian who appears to look lost 85/90 minutes a game and a defensive fcking mindset against a team who are in the bottom 5.

Whenever Hazard has the ball, everyone is lterally standing still as far away as possible, thats a shít gameplan and something needs to happen, Hull are all over us

Barr

Ivan ya muppet

GavRedKing

Can we get rid of cahill.

Seriously.

Ivanovic is having a mare

Draws not loses will be our downfall...

Sanity_Saviour

Willian AGAIN, if you can't make a single pass in the opposition half you shouldn't be starting

Johner

Hull have been the better team, we are lucky to be drawing here.

Barr

Jose is going to give a right bollocking at half time

Indeed. Jose needs to go.

GavRedKing

Hull deserve to be ahead here.

We started well but faded terribly.

From 2-0 weve been pegged back and shot ourselves in the foot with 2 terrible defending performances.

Its a disgrace.

Barr

FFS , I'm off to the pub to watch the second half, can't watch this at home ... hard to believe its 2-2 after the start Chelsea had.

GavRedKing

The right side from willian to ivan and cahull has been weak and pourous.

Hull look very likely to win it from here.

It is now 0-0 in effect. If they want to win the title theyve to start winning these kinda games full stop.

hots

Ramires cahill and Ivan have been atrocious. Would happily have zouma and azpi on at half time.

Rayne Wooney

Can't blame Jose for today though, players have let him down often in the second half of the season

Harry Palmr

I swear if you lot lose today I'm going to be very angry!

Just checked the table. We can get to a total of 85 points, the most any of the rest can get. And that'd mean us winning all our remaining games, which we won't. So, in 10 games (including today's), you need 22 points (ignoring GD). 8 wins out of 10; that's perfectly do-able for you lot.

Johner

Shocking

Nothing less than a win will do today. If we drop any more points, we can't have any confidence of capitalising on our game in hand (anyone for 3:3 against Leicester?). That puts us straight into a four-way dogfight. With such a lack of consistency, I'd have serious fears for the premiership. And with that question marks over Mourinho. A league cup haul in two seasons is zero return.

Even with the title, a clearout is on the cards. Unfortunately this team is still in major transition.

In the short-term, bench Courtois and make him fight for his place. Start using Zouma. Work Cuadrado in.

This summer, Ram and Cahill out. Possibly Oscar too. Terry won't last forever either. Ivan will only work for certain games. His position needs to be upgraded with someone who concentrates on the main job.

Today? Get the finger out in the second half and put in a couple more goals. Otherwise our challenge could completely fall apart.

He picks the players. They have previous. Buck stops with Jose end of story.

GavRedKing

We need a full 45 mins of fighting for each other. Theyre bottling it and its a disgrace TBH.

Alfred Borden

Jose overplayed the team at the start of the season. I remember being so annoyed that Chelsea could name an unchanged eleven week after week but think its coming back to get them now. A little too late for the chasing pack though.

GavRedKing

City utd and arsenal all well in the title race now.

the_monkey

Whatever happens this league is a joke
Most likely whoever wins will have the hollow fact that they only win cos Chelsea have turned into 10 year old girls in the last weeks .

In the unlikely event Chelsea hold on it will be a relief and unnessarily close - taking a lot of the celebrations away

You forgot about FFP. Can't see Chelsea getting another 100 million for two players like Luiz and Mata.

That means they need to be careful about spending.

grumpymunster

No subs at half time if we blow this then Jose's position is in serious doubt

I'd take that, no problem!

Good start.

Bollox! Big chance.

It would actually add to it for me.

Like the time RVP scored when Terry fell on his arse.

grumpymunster

Thank God we have Hazard only bright spot so far today

Johner

Much better play now.

We have £40 million in the kitty without selling a player:

We have an improved sponsorhip set up.

CFC can spend this summer. The problem is we need multiple upgrades.
