Re: Chelsea 14/15
I still think quality in depth may be a problem. Hazard or Willian gets injured/needs a rest; our backups are Schurrle, who's been shocking this season, and Salah, who's garbage. CM, our back-ups are Ramires and Mikel; not horrible but not exactly top-quality. CB, Ivanovic, who's a good defender but nevertheless rarely plays there, and Zouma, an as yet completely unknown quantity.
But no squad is perfect or has 11 world class players with a world class back-up for every position so there's hardly room to complain.

Re: Chelsea 14/15
Honestly though, Jose's lack of rotation makes it less worrisome.
Also, Every club has a few players which they rely on heavily.

John Terry: Chelsea have found the perfect balance of defence and attack:
Chelsea captain John Terry believes his team have shown a killer instinct in the first few weeks of the Premier League season, as he has suggested a strong team ethic has been crucial in carrying them to a commanding lead at the top of the table

http://www.espnfc.com/chelsea/story/2076024/john-terry-chelsea-have-found-the-perfect-balance-of-defence-and-attack
"You can look at every team in the league and they are all conceding goals. That is because the quality in the Premier League is getting higher each year. It's as simple as that."
"When we conceded goals earlier on in the season everyone was questioning it, but it's going to happen. There are so many good teams and individuals in the league that we are going to concede goals."
"The important thing is that going forward we've got goals in us, as long as we're not conceding too many. We're maybe a little bit more attacking this year as well but we've had a few clean sheets on the bounce now and defensively we look very solid."

Re: Chelsea 14/15
Mourinho on our team this season and its long-term potential:
— via the Telegraph
-
“This season we improve footballistically, with Diego and Fabregas, no doubt. When we analyse in tactical and technical terms, they represent the kind of player we need, the kind of second midfield player, the quality of striker. We were lucky to have in the market available for us exactly the style of player we need. But what people maybe don’t realise is that the maturity of our team, the personality of our team, changed a lot.”
“Obviously talent is so important. And how many points are you going to win based on talent? A lot. But how many points do you lose based on the qualities you are speaking about [character, strength]? You lose also a lot of points. So the balance is between the talent you need and these mental qualities, team qualities.”
“Five points is nothing. But I think Man City have everything. I think they have lots of talent and they have lots of physicality. They have more options than everyone else. When you speak about the replica – the second right back - they have replicas for every position. They can cope with injuries, they can cope with suspensions, and the team is basically very stable.”
“From Mancini’s time, three years with the same team, players in the best moment of their careers, they don’t have the young players in the development phase, they don’t have players who next season can be better than this season. They don’t have yet – Frank [Lampard] is the only one of that age – the players who next year are going to be one, heavy year older. They are all on the 27, 28, 29, 30, 31 level.”
“You tell me. If we keep this team, and they keep that team: in five years time, who is going to be better?”
“I say immediately – us, because in five years I’m going to have Hazard, Oscar, Willian, Azpilicueta, Zouma, in the best moment of their careers, and the fantastic players I have now, at 28, 29. A fantastic team with lots of solutions.”

Cesc Fàbregas hails growing understanding with Eden Hazard and Oscar after Palace win:

Cesc Fàbregas has spoken of his growing understanding with Eden Hazard and Oscar after scoring his first league goal for Chelsea against Crystal Palace yesterday
http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/524685/Cheslea-Cesc-Fabregas-understanding-Eden-Hazard-Oscar-Crystal-Palace-win
"I like to play this kind of football, and Eden and Oscar do as well, and the three of us connect very well and that goal showed well the qualities of the whole team."
"Now I am playing deeper in midfield there will be moments during the season when maybe I go five or six games without a goal or an assist, and I am more proud about the team work, the discipline, the way we coped with the sending off, than my goals or my assists. I give those to other people to talk about."
"We played a good second half when 10 against 10. We did have difficulties in the first few minutes but thankfully Oscar scored a fantastic goal and it helped us, and 10 against 10 is a different game and it was a solid performance."
"They were man-marking me, basically the whole first half following me, so it was difficult for me to get into positions with the ball."
"So I was trying to get my player away from the game and Oscar could come deep and have more time on the ball. It was difficult because of this reason but apart from that I think 80 per cent of the game was ours."
"When it was 10 against 10 they changed system obviously and I had more space and more time."

"We have similar football. I can play on the right or the left and Willian can and Oscar can, and we are good friends outside of the pitch."
"We have a lot of people to play up front and it is a pleasure to play with all of them."

They do have a good connection. Fabregas and Matic too.

There has been two mandatory chants in recent games; 'we're top of the league' and 'Steve Gerrard, Gerrard'.

Chelsea legend Didier Drogba believes Jose Mourinho's new Chelsea side can achieve greatness:
Drogba believes the standards set by Mourinho's team in his first Chelsea reign mean the current crop are in no doubt about what is now expected

http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/406363/Chelsea-Didier-Drogba-Jose-Mourinho
"I think Chelsea will always be at this level because of what the players before created."
"The habit of wining trophies, winning big games and being in the last four and the finals."
"This is a good habit. Even when we stop, I think Chelsea will continue this because this is a kind of legacy."
"That's why I say this club is very special. Because in the first season we had to win. The first season we had to win."
"We had big expectations from the start. That's the legacy I was talking about earlier. You have to win at this club."
"This team has different strengths. Different qualities. But it is still as strong and as good as the previous ones."

Re: Chelsea 14/15
So, 6 points ahead of our nearest [realistic] title rival having already gone to United, City, Everton, and home to Arsenal. Hard to complain about that.

With the form they're in, we really should be getting 3 points there.
