Mourinho bounces back… now he must drop hopeless Hazard

The Belgian turned in a woeful performance against the also-rans of Maccabi Tel-Aviv and simply cannot be allowed to start against Arsenal in this weekend's derby

Jose Mourinho did his job against Maccabi Tel-Aviv, and the ghost of Rosenberg past has been laid to rest for now. Crisis or no crisis Chelsea was always likely to coast to victory at Stamford Bridge, and its 4-0 victory simply emphasizes the complete gulf in quality between the two sides.

With Willian, – luckily, even he’ll admit – Oscar, Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas all on target, this was a routine victory as Chelsea faced a team so clearly many rungs below it on the footballing ladder.
