Poor game for TV but to be expected, 1-0.

Don't give us much of a chance tbh. If Monk can set us up right maybe we can sneak a draw, tough ask though.

Courtois injured in the warm-up.

The Chelsea medical team gave him the same "magic juice" that Costa benefited from.

At least Cech is on the bench.

And that, my friends, is Chelsea wasting time while drawing at home to Swansea.

Didn't think you'd see that, did you? Well now you have.

We've rattled Jose and Chelsea.

Damn that was immense at times. Montero & Ayew tore their markers apart, especially Montero. I can't remember Ivanovic ever being destroyed like that. Hopefully Montero will stay fit.

Sounded like we were pretty abject. Was the red and penalty correct?

Watched the highlights. The penalty was correct. The red card was harsh, but just as harsh as in most of similar situations. This rule has to change. What is a goal soring opportunity can be too subjective.

The penalty and the red were correct.

Even after the red card Swansea had less possession than Chelsea and, even though a draw at Stamford Bridge is a good result whoever you are, they'll probably be kicking themselves because the win was there for them.

I was at this, quite entertaining. The highlights don't do justice just what a terrible decision it was from Terry in the lead up to the red card. more interested in storming into a flying tackle than leaving the back 4 protected

Swansea could give some hard times to Chelsea despite the ball possession being mostly with the blues.

And Courtois getting a red card in the first game already isn't very auspicious for Chelsea (and also for me, with that I lost my two FPL goalkeepers). Anyway Chelsea always have a good second keeper so...

Chelsea's appeal over Courtois' red card was unsuccessful, so the one match ban stands.

Up there with the most pointless appeal ever. It was never going to be overturned...and rightly so.

The ban should have been extended for such a frivolous appeal.

Mourinho looking a bit of a dick with this doctor thing. Surely it's up to the doctor whether a player justifies treatment, regardless of when it is in the game. You know, given that they're qualified to make that judgement, unlike him. Your team played shit and dropped 2 points, learn to deal with such things with a bit of dignity.

Also, the referee summoned the medical team onto the pitch - I'm pretty sure you have to see to your player in that situation.

"It's got nothing to do with the manager," said Brukner, Liverpool's former head of sports medicine and sports science. "You don't have doctors telling a manager to play someone up front or play 4-3-3.

"The doctor was 100% correct and the manager, in my opinion, was 100% wrong.

"He should apologise and the club should ensure that the doctor and physio are not demoted as a result of this.

Well said Brukner.
