    Very good performance from the Swans,they deserved there point. Chelsea have regressed and next up City away,not a fixture you'd want too have to get your first win on the board.

    Terry should have been booked for his tantrum there at the end.

    What where all the Chelsea players upset about anyway ? Oliver was brilliant today.

    Fair result and very impressed with Swansea.

    Biggest concern from a Chelsea viewpoint today was Ivanovic's performance. He can switch off at times in games and his positioning can be a bit suspect at times, but that was dire all game from him. Biggest problem of all is the other right back option is playing at left back and the cover for him was sold.

    Chelsea have it in their locker to spend 100mil plus over the next month or so and they might need to if they are to challenge Arsenal who would be my favourites.

    Redknapp didn't think it was a red card. He actually didnt seem to understand the rule. Its denying a clear goal scoring opportunity if he wasn't fouled, not the opportunity the player has after he's fouled. It seems if the ball doesn't go exactly towards goal pundits think it wasn't a goal scoring opportunity.

    Serious question. Is there any chance the red card was for violent conduct? Courtois caught him knee high, if a defender did that it would be a red and a 3 game ban.

    Ya they actually queried that as well, but Redknapp didn't think it was violent conduct either :P

    I think Chelsea don't look as good when you have both Oscar and Fabregas in the lineup. They need somebody else to play deeper with Matic and let Fabregas control the tempo in the final third which is where he excels imo.

    Also I have thought since late last season that Ivanovic is nearing the end of his time at Chelsea. I don't think he has been the same player for probably the last three months of last season and he just didn't look great to me today. He seems to have lost the bit of pace he had.

    is this a poorly disguised dig at Hazard?

    http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/33837212
    The Blues, who had keeper Thibaut Courtois sent off, were down to nine men for a period after staff ran on to treat Hazard following a trip, despite him not appearing to be badly injured.

    Physio just doing his job? kinda watched the match and didnt notice this.

    The camera on sky sports focused on Mourinho telling either him or the physio to **** off at the time, it was definitely a thing.

    It's definitely the opposite, we're far worse with non-fab in the middle.
