Ollie

Lmao that trick on Raul Albiol. You got fucked up my son! Hahaa

The video titles get better. SSN "Valencia confirm deal agreed with Chelsea for Juan Mata" EDIT: Ok Tomo beat me to the vid lol, i reckon everyones looking for vids of him now lol. I admit i don't know too much of him but he's only 23, he's a lefty who can use his right and he's quick who likes to score goals. That's basically what Youtube is showing me anyway. Got ability for sure.

Lets get some more spaniards then next step is to play like Spain/Barca and we're sorted

Welcome to TC, Sydney FC Suck, just thought i'd randomly add that for no reason in particular. Have fun here.

Surely against a team like Norwich at home we can actually play Torres and Drogba together and even play Kalou to try n get him a bit of confidence. Atm this is just the same average Chelsea team as last season We should batter this lot whoever we use.

Can't wait til September 1st just to get this all out the way

4-3-3 works if we have the players for that formation. We clearly don't. 4-4-2 is the best formation with the players we have i think.

If we look at it.... We were unlucky last weekend and deserved to win and this weekend we were shit and probably deserved to drop points. Just say we beat Stoke and Drew with WBA, it would seem kinda right lol. They say luck evens itself out.

Theres no difference really. Todays game was as shit as our home games against Bolton, Wolves, Fulham and Wigan last season whereas our away game last week was good a bit like how we played at Sunderland, Bolton and West Brom although we failed to win, we played some great football. Sometimes you'll play well and sometimes you wont. Happens to everyone but you wont play shit or well every week. So far we got unlucky in one match and got lucky in the other so it's 'fair' as of now.

As Anti-Kalou as i am, it was wrong to take him off after 34 minutes when h/t is only 10 minutes away. It is very Jose like tho, memories of Joe Cole against Fulham.... We still lost.

Frode Grodas or... Neil Sullivan lol

I think Ivanovic is our best defender so he's gotta start when fit. He's quick and strong. Anyone ever seen Luiz at Right back? I don't rate Bos as a RB at all. He's a RM imo.

Well this is the Kalou thread so if people wanna hammer him, it's not off topic or misplaced... I think he's actually achieving the impossible and getting worse week by week. He might play against Norwich because it's Norwich but if he has another shocker, he might actually get transfer listed like a DFS sale half price or even better than half price. How much did he join us for? *Checks Wiki* ok £9m so 3-4m could do it. Might do a good job for hmm.... Who will pay £3m for this guy..? Fuck we're screwed! Leicester? Wigan? meh we have no hope.

Who was actually good? I think Mikel was ok, Ramires came into it and Torres was ok with his dribbling in the first half but what else? Hilario didn't have that much to do and that save from Odemwingie was more luck than judgement. Alex was awful, looked shaky as fuck, JT wasn't right, Bosingwa was great for the winner but shit for the rest, Lampard... steady ish but nothing that's gonna scare anyone, Drogba wasn't bothered at all, Ash was caught out a bit as bos was, WBA they shoulda scored 4 by an hour, Kalou I CAN NOT SAY ANY MORE ABOUT THIS WORLD CLASS GENIUS! Malouda was pretty good at times, at least showed a bit of class and direction....... I can't actually believe we won the game. In a nutshell.... Hilario 7 Bosingwa 6 Alex 3 Terry 5 Cole 6 Lampard 5 Ramires 6 Mikel 7 Kalou -1 Torres 6 Anelka 5 Malouda 6, Ivanovic, can't really tell, Drogba 2

When Kalou was subbed after 34 minutes, i thought of this forum lol. Credit for AVB for not bottling his public humiliation. Now AVB knows surely that's he's not Chelsea material and he needs to get rid and replace ASA f'n P

Rubbish performance, a performance that emphasises the point that we need a couple of new signings in the areas we all know. We have too many weaknesses and tbh we should've lost this game. Got a lucky first goal with a big deflection and then Bosingwa decided to be good for a minute and did something that even a world class winger would be proud of. We're up and running but that was not pretty or convincing. An extra lol for Kalou too... 34 minutes of shame. Hope the lovers are proud after todays humiliation. Send him to Brentford...

Scored against us when we were winning 2-1 very late at old trafford,in 97/98 great finish too. Scored a winner at highbury in 97 i think it was FA Cup against Liverpool, 1-0 down, he scored deep into injury to win the FA Cup tie Yes, UCL final winner There probably is more but these are some i remember. Now i don't know if he came off the bench for these or not but he could do a job whether it was of the bench or starting and he was a genuine striker with immense control and stunning finishing ability. And what's with your talking about Torres and Drogba? Kalou operates as a winger so i dunno where you're getting this striker stuff from. Maybe he was a striker at Feyenoord but that was then he plays as a winger for us and we don't have a quality,top class winger do we. If you can name me a world class winger at chelsea then you're doing very well. Don't try n take the easy way out and say we have Torres and Drogba and Kalou is our super sub because that's not even the same position. Solskjaer is a Man Utd legend and the fans love him. He was a genuine super sub who scored goals. Why is Kalou a super sub? What does he ever actually do off the bench when it's majorly needed? I'll tell you. Nothing. Ole Gunner Solskjaer = Super Sub Salomon Kalou = Sub There's a big difference. He'll probably score in the next 2 games too as it's his calibre of opponent. When Anelka, Kalou, Sturridge and Malouda are your devastating wingers in your favoured 4-3-3 formation, you know there's a huge problem especially when 3 of them are strikers.

ok his goal against tottenham was offside, his goal against Newcastle took a wicked deflection and his set up to Drogba at OT in 2010 was offside and those are the last 3 decent things he's done,what a fucking superstar! His goal against everton was ok but he should be doing this. An impact sub means a player who is not good enough to start. We need a player who can actually play well from the start. Theres no point having an 'impact sub', we need a world class starter. Please don't compare our wanker to Solskjaer. Solskjaer was one of the best finishers around and he rarely wasted a chance and he scored in big games against big teams in big stadiums.

If he's gonna get injured, doing it now is a good time. WBA at home, Norwich at home, International break. Hilario was very good in pre season and he's been waiting for another chance. This really isn't a bad thing.

Hes won the same amount in 15 minutes than he did for 6 years at Arsenal

Wow what a game and that was their version of the charity shield, in other words a friendly really. It's hardly the biggest tournament in the world but put Real Madrid and Barcelona together and you get an eruption. Great game.

Only just seen this post and i must ask a question. Are you fucking serious? Why do i want Kalou to score late winners and all that at anfield, old trafford and emirates? Err to prove that he's worth playing for Chelsea maybe? He's an attacking player, not a center back ffs he shows nothing. He's a winger and a striker playing for one of the best teams in the world and he can't score in big games and he can't beat his man. We play 1 up front so what are you saying, that only Torres or Drogba should be scoring and our winger or 'impact sub' translated to 'too shit for the first team' shouldn't be doing anything? I can understand your argument but at least put across some kind of valid point. Bottom line is Salomon 'fail-job' Kalou plays for Chelsea, we've established that. He was bought as an attacker, you do understand the word attacker yeah? hope so. Chelsea are a title challenger ok, yes, got that? So he should be attacking defenders, skinning them and scoring goals and at least threatening to do so. What does Kalou bring to our team? He could do a job for Wigan maybe although maybe not... they had N'Zogbia last season and he's a different league to our failure so ok what does he do? And fuck his shitty stats, most of his goals are against shit in shit cups or when we're 3-0 up. He probably has a handful of important goals in 5 years. I get so angry with Kalou lovers when he's actually a genuine waste of a squad member and position at our famous club. Why should a team like Chelsea have a player like Kalou and have a 4-3-3 without 2 genuine wingers and why are we struggling to get one? We need to push the boat out and just go n get one. Get a Hamsik, get a Navas, get an Eden Hazard, bring back Robben, a Hulk, a Krasic, a Ribery, An adam Johnson or a fucking Juan Vargas just FFS get someone with genuine ability!!! Rant over for now but it wont be the last.

If you want kalou to stay at Chelsea, you want Chelsea to fail.

2-1. Messi the magician These 2 Barcelona finishes have been nothing short of exquisite. Wonderful football from a simply wonderful team.

Another great game going on here, 1-1 and lots of attacking from both sides, more-so Real Madrid it had to be said. These 2 legs are far better than the UCL ones.
