Great win against Aston Villa! Diego costa is some player, On the ball, fabregas is unplayable apart from shielding. Our defense was great, apart from Cahill, who's been close to awful this season.

Courtois - some good saves, 7/10

Ivanovic - Attacking juggernaut, 8/10

Cahill - when there's a 1 v 1 against him I wince, 5.5/10

Terry - solid - 7/10

Azpillicueta - work horse, best inverted left back in world, his pass to costa was good, 8/10

Matic - he's been okay, but needs to regain form of last season, maybe he's not playing as well because he's doing it all by himself

Fabregas - without him we wouldn't have broken down the bus (probably), 7-10

Willian - I'm split on Willian, I think 30 million for him was awful, bit of a flop, might as well have got a crappy winger from league 2 who runs a lot for less, harsh, but neccasary

Oscar - MOTM, keep some consistency kid, 9.5/10

Hazard - I feel he'll get lost in average, he's been good, but if he has ballon for aspirations, he needs to be much much better. I've been disappointed

Costa - 8 goals in 6, love him, signing of the window. 7-10

I feel we need to integrate ivanovic into centre, Azpillicueta to right back and luis to left back, luis is 29 and a now or never player, play him Cahill has been below par

Thanks guys, (by the way , I'm Aron, and on my phone I have this login and on iPad I have Aron account)

I think your being very harsh on Cahill. He has been as good as terry this season and I wouldn't say he's terrible when it comes down to 1-1 situations.

Ok today agbonlahor may have got past him once but Cahill brought him down and deservedly received a yellow card. The second time agbonlahor picked up the ball Cahill showed him the outside and he ended up running to the side of the pitch where he eventually had nothing on and passed it down the pitch.

Weimaan also had a run at him and he kept with him and blocked the shot.

Also Bare in mind agbonlahor is very quick and if cahill dived in he would of probably received a second yellow.

Just my opinion

Agreed that Filipe should be integrated in the first 11 with Branislav fitting in at cb and Azpi on the right.
I too am very nervous every time Cahill gets attacked, he just doesn't fill me with the feeling that he'll get the job done. I'd welcome a younger, very good (or world class) centre back with open arms.
Varane doesn't look likely though, with him extending his contract and getting his chance to play a lot of minutes at Madrid now. Subotic or Laporte might be good shouts? Then again, the club have probably never shown any interest in them.

Top of the table, I'm loving it!!

Yeah I'm being harsh but I don't feel he's good enough.

Thanks for replys. Page is super dead

John Stones from Everton - a must buy

Agree, we need some English players

I don't really see guys what are you going about? Isn't cahill just the better at the moment of he pairing we have at cb's? He had average game against villa but played so many games that is just sad to see you talking nonsense

Willian was absolutely superb against Villa.
