Charlie Adam = Just the biggest cuntish thug in English football. If he wasn't a footballer, he'll be in prison.

Yep. If only he could start on Tuesday....

Pardon me, but this is a Chelsea thread and I feel I have the right to an opinion on the match. The fact is Stoke are making us look better than we actually are. The problems we have are still there, namely Torres still starting. I'm not even berating the team because we are playing well, despite how poor Stoke have been. There is nothing wrong with not getting too excited, considering the way we've been playing recently. That's not a sin. There is no need to turn on each other. If you don't like my "whining" then don't read the comment. It's not that difficult.

Great ball from Willian just now. Torres nowhere to be found. If Ba had started, he would have gotten a goal by now. It's just bizzare how Jose keeps sticking with Torres. Stoke are very, very bad but Torres is still having a poor match. WTF?

I'm not upset at all, infact I'm fairly content. We are playing a dreadful Stoke side who aren't even playing very defensively. They are mid-table and have nothing to play for. We are doing what we need to do. Very impressed with Matic and Salah but I'm not going to go overboard. But I'm always going to enjoy the games though. I don't need you to tell me that.

Matic MOTM so far. Torres anonymous as usual.

It's a dreadful Stoke side though with nothing to play for. They are safe from relegation and are playing more open than I thought.

Matic is just an animal. If we had Eto'o and Matic for that PSG game, I'll be so confident.

That's all Matic really. That's what makes him such a dynamic, world-class player in the mold of Redondo. Holding players shouldn't even be doing stuff like that.

Willian is slowing down the play way too much.

Eto'o would have scored. Torres is a shit-magnet.

NO

Never felt so bad before a game. Looking at that line-up, Stoke are just going to defend deep and we will do fuck all with it again. Prove me wrong Chelsea.

Mourinho just called Torres could be a "target-man" in this game. Which Torres is that, Fernando? Seriously. Anyway, let me go get some breakfast from Subway. Will be back.

Perfect game for Ba to start. He must be fuming really, that shower of shit Torres getting picked ahead of him every time despite being consistently shite.

Oscar is not even playing, ffs

People are so paranoid on this thread.

That's why I said FIRST half. We outplayed them and we completely controlled the midfield with Matic being a beast but we lacked the cutting edge upfront with that fucker, Torres "leading" the line.

Another thing about that Villa game. I still can't understand why Eto'o wasn't even on the bench for that one.

I think the presence of Torres was a greater hindrance in that game than Foy, tbh. Foy was not even that bad in the first half when we were completely dominant but lacked a cutting edge (again) due to an anonymous presence up front.

But still, any team fighting for the title should be beating Villa. They are a very, very, very average side. They've been hammered by Stoke and Man united since that game against us.

Exactly. These guys are new to the league and have shown so far that they struggle against physicality and parked buses. Watch us struggle to do anything of substance and then Hazard coming on at the 60th mark to try and save the day. I hope I eat my words, but nothing I've seen so far this season suggests that isn't going to happen.

Even Fulham is beating Aston Villa at Villa Park. Just shows how shit we've been.

None of Willian, Schurrle or Salah have the creativity to break down what is going to be a very defensive Stoke team. Torres is a non-factor as usual. EVERY Chelsea fan knows this. WTF is Jose doing?

Scary line-up. I fear a draw or some other silly result. WTF is Jose smoking resting Hazard , Oscar and playing Torres? This match is more important than the PSG game. We have a more realistic chance of winning the league than overturning that PSG result. Surely I'm not the only one that thinks like this.
