    Need to see if cacares is any good before the end of the season. What's the point in him being here?

    Maya and Stephens have done ok but are not good enough for where we want to be.

    Also please can we have another CDM. And play 2 of them. At the same time?

    Think it's just his style and his facial expression. Didn't have a chance with any of the goals and made a great one on one save

    Totally agree, I thought he could have done better for their 3rd.

    Like to see the other GK on Sat...

    I think Stephens especially has done a brilliant job since he has come in and Will only get better from this experience.

    Should definitely give Caceres a chance on Saturday. In the 13 games since VVD's injury we have conceded 26 goals , conceding 3 or more goals in 6 of those matches plus the 3 we conceded at Everton when Fonte & Yoshida were together.

    Searching 'Niall Quinn' on Twitter has cheered me up.

    Chelsea have some World Class players and they killed us tonight. Our performance would probably beat any team outside the top seven and that's where we are atm about the 8th best team in the league. BUT we have had injuries to key players all season and I think the squad has the potential to challenge for Europe next season with all things being equal.

    Let's not forget that Chelsea beat a full strength Spurs side 4-2 on Saturday.

    And what would be the point? He's not going to be here next season, Stephens and Yoshi will.

    He's here simply as injury cover.

    Also, Gabbi out.

    Pah. 30 mins v Spurs... no goal. 75 v Man city...no goal. 80 v Chelsea...no goal. Think we bought a pup.

    I'd be pissed off if Stephens is dropped, it would send out the wrong message entirely and it is much better that he gains more valuable experience.

    If they want VVD, shall we get Ake and Ruben Loftus-Cheek and £20m as well??

    Thought we played pretty well really. Defending atrocious at times but looked dangerous too.

    At the end of the day you can see why they'll be champions.

    Costa is prick, diving & squaring up to Stephens after 2-1... what he's hard squaring up to a young lad? Grade A ****.

    Atmosphere was pretty good, kept going even after 3-1 after which game became a bit of a procession. Terry getting dogs abuse was funny too.

    Not sure why people are calling for Caceres... seems clear to me from selections so far that we're not intending on using/keeping him and he was brought in for emergency purposes only.

    If that's the case, we're better off giving Stephens the experience imo.

    Anyway... up the ****ing Saints <ok>

    Not sure about him. He'd sounds like a goal you score against the run of play against QPR.

    Edit: he sounds like an 80s Saints defender that would score a goal against the run of play against QPR.
