I guess it all came good in the end :champions:

Your dad rules,let him know that.

Thanks for reading. We had a brilliant start of the season.We were 5 points ahead of our rivals,we had the same players like we do now so what went wrong? The other clubs figured out our game play? Not really.United and Arsenal and many other teams have been consistant in their tactics for years.And the main question is did our top players just became shit over three months? Not really

Owner: So Roman Abramovich hasn't left us after all.Hip hip fucking hura he spent 70mill on two players in the January transfer window,and has reduced the general age squad and brought in a World Class striker,and a World Class defender to be.He had his bad moves but the good one's top easily.People still don't realize how much we owe Roman it can't be forgotten.I am at least happy our fans don't slag him like they slag almost everything else involving the club. Manager: Carlo Ancelotti...yeah that is the man who won the double last season (just so you know only 7 teams in England have that achievement) and he is the man fans used to call King Carlo.Ring any bells? i guess not since we are 5th now,not doing well and in a need of change every match we play.We destroyed the Premiership last season,won against every single of our rivals home and away.We even started this season well but the form dip got us to 5th place.If i wise man took a look at our season at the moment nothing is lost.Well ok the Premership title is,but we have a fairly easy draw in the UCL,we are still in the Fa Cup and only a daft man would say our season is over.I do realize our form is far from good,i might say far from even average.But the tactic 4-3-3 worked for years,the tactic is not the problem,and we won't change our tactics just because we brought in Torres. Squad: Now there is the real problem.I will start from the back and analyze all our good and bad departments.Between the posts we have magic Cech,perhpas one of the finest keepers we ever had (many will say the best)but a top level performer.I recall the times everybody said he is good because of our defence.This season our defence was seriously injury prone and we were without our defenders for a good part of the season.So now surely no one can doubt his quality and his consistency.Our back four were and are immense.Terry brilliant as usual even scoring like before,Ivanovic is sublime one of the best signings we had in awhile.With the rock Alex at the back we looked great but we were yet struck by injuries and that wasn't enough.Bruma was too young to step up this early,even though he had a great debut.New boy Silva is nothing short of fantastic,the boy has everything a defender needs and more.So we are pretty much covered at the back.Our midfield...does anyone really think that players of that calibre could under perform for months now? No of course not.But they did,Essien was nowhere near his usual form,Lampard was injury struck but even that doesn't really covers up his form.Malouda started well but he has been shocking for some time now.The players i would like to praise are Mikel who really grew into a great player,and Ramires who had many critics at his start at Chelsea.I was one of his biggest i admit,but did he prove me wrong! He got his act together and he is showing why we payed 18 mill for him.He is one for the future surely.Now we come to the most clueless part of our squad - our attackers.Anelka had like 4 games on high level the entire season,Malouda made me look good on my weekend football with my mates.Only Drogba had some kind of a positive season.Our problem is that our top 3 or 2 can't do shit.Torres won't change that at least not this season.Kalou is the player which can frustrate you but also make you happy.People can say he is shit,but he is the only striker that performed this season,it's a fact.I am only disappointed with Carlo because of one thing,why didn't he play Sturridge? He was looking good every time he had a chance.On his loan he has scored in all of his three games he started.The boy has got loads of potential and he is not short of self esteem.Next season a starter mark my words. Youngsters: The only positive thing about our season so far.Our defenders need to be worried since Van Aanholt and Bruma are the players who should step up soon enough and build their names in our club.Both of them grew up to be fine players with loads of potential which they will prove if the chance is given.The ''boy'' the media is talking about the most is our very own Joshua McEchran,17 year old magician who for his age brings to shame a lot of midfield players in our club and in the League in general.If he doesn't have a future in this club than no one really has.And last but not less important Kakuta the little flying french man.All of them apart from Josh are out on loan but they will return and help us out for the new season. Our problems are not that deep like most people think.Our players are not giving it all it is just that.We played really well against Sunderland in the diamond,but when we played with it against the big boys we barely created a chance.I also agree that 4-4-2 is a better formation for us but not this season.Football is not like Fifa 2011 where you can change the formation completely and still play well.These are real players and they need time to adapt to a new formation.Perhaps we can play 4-4-2 next season but without the diamond since it really doesn't help or work either. Transfers: It is true,we can't bring in all the players you see on TV,or you spot on YouTube. The Fans: Grow the fuck up (most of you not all) Chelsea wasn't always a top 4 club,and a lot of the lads on this forum can remember the times when we were happy to battle for the 4th place and get a spot in the UCL.Fans got so spoiled,let's bring all the players we can find on YouTube and adapt them overnight in our squad and we will never see a defeat again shall we? Every time we have a bad result people actually show that supporting a club in the bad times is just not their thing. I apologize for the long post,and i know not everyone will agree with me but i wanted to show you that the things even in the bad days aren't so bad,it can always be worse we could be Leeds! Yours truly TB

Yeah if Wilkins was still with us,he would give our players a strategy,a better formation,brains,any kind of desire to to well. Let's bring him back and win the fucking treble. FFS

He played at Atletico Madrid mate

Petrescu - Terry - Ron Harris - Le Saux

He can't,he played for Benfica in the group stages.

I love you mate

BlueLion rules

If we start 4-3-3 with Torres as our striker i will turn off the TV.

Petr Cech 10 Branislav Ivanovic 7 David Luiz 10 John Terry 7 Ashley Cole 5 Ramires 9 Micheal Essien 5 Frank Lampard 5 Nicolas Anelka 0 Florent Malouda 0 Fernando Torres 0 Salomon Kalou 5 Didier Drogba 6

I don't see why Smertin is in the same bag with these players?

Well said mate

The attacking three all off please.

My mum has a good description about me after a Chelsea loss: ''Every time Chelsea losses no one can talk to you,your mood goes bellow zero''

I voted for Carlo,one of the best keepers we ever had,but The Cat and Cech are also all worthy a vote. But Cudicini was my role model as a keeper,so i am a bit biased.

I agree since usually people seek a partnership of a fast player and with good tehnique and a player who is strong and good in the air.I see the logical part but i know those two can be lethal in front of goal.

Welcome along buddy

I see your point but the diamond doesn't really work at the moment.WE should perhaps start a 4-4-2 since 4-3-3 just doesn't work anymore,our lone strikers are cut of and can't do much alone.Two strikers have been a must for ages now.

Do you see the logic and sense in that post of yours mate?

Why do we have to fit everything accord to Torres? He should adapt in our own games plans and not the other way around.Glad to see Sturridge do so well on his loan and i hope he keep performing.

In his prime there is no better or more complete forward.
