Watford vs Chelsea: The One with Costa's Clothing Capers

Welcome to the gun show

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. I’m not saying that Hiddink’s transitioning to Susan Boyle from questionable decision making to baffling persistence - but is there any reason he expects the partnership of Nemanja Matic and John Obi Mikel to work?

Their natural positioning sense means that they continue to be in the same place at the same time and not in a romantic serendiptious type way. They're either leaving  a gaping hole in the midfield or a bit of a mess for someone else to clean up. While the threat of Watford’s attack is real, they had lost 4 of their last 5 ahead of Wednesday match, so Chelsea probably didn’t need defensive midfield twinsies.
