Exactly. We may have dominated posetion but we didn't create any clear chances from open play, after we lost the midfield battle in the 2nd half it was painfully obvious that we were going to do nothing upfront so our players kept clearing the ball. In 97 minutes we created 1 clear chance. Somehow Ashely missed it.

Could be premature but if we line the same pathetic attack we did today this will apply once again Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. ...

Getting drunk is good choice. I'm already thinking things that I laughed at a week ago.

And at this point there aren't even enough injuries to blame the thin squad... Dreadful.

Sturridge on with 3 minutes to 90. Bigger joke than our result.

Deserved.

Definition of a penalty.

Ramires on for Anelka, at least it's not another 1 for 1 substitution..

Thank god Petr is OK.

According to ESPN's commentators Ramire was getting ready..

You really love putting labels on people don't you? Unacceptable for a moderator.

FINALLY!! We can only score through penalties..

A corner to Chelsae. *yawn*

OH FOR FUCKS SAKE!!!

Malouda is hurt

Drogba with a good pass to Anelka and we've won a corner.

Saha came close...

Call it anything between a feeling and a disappointment (due to seeing the same old sh*t we've been watching) but I can't be positive when we're playing Everton and our attack consists of unfit or inconsistent players.Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. ...

Cech, Bosingwa, Ivanovic, Terry, Cole, Mikel, Essien, Malouda, Kalou, Drogba, Anelka. Subs:Turnbull, Ramires, Ferreira, Sturridge, Bruma, Kakuta, McEachran. FFS. We'll be dreadful.

I'm extremely confident in his abilities but from what we've seen he's just not using them right.For example he's our fastest player yet he rarely runs, he's our best finisher but he stays out of the box. He's been trying to be that link for quite some time (since 2009), even when Lampard was playing. I don't see how it's working.

Their guess is as good as ours.On the bright side even if we lose this one it will hardly be more frustrating than that 3-3 draw.

In that order. Much like Kalou earlier in the season Anelka's stats give him too much credit. The fact that he's our joint top scorer says more about our attack this year than Anelka's form and contribution to our play.He got 2 goals in a game we scored 6 and another couple against Zilina. He doesn't track back as much as he should and rarely ever gets into goalscoring positions despite being our best finisher. With Drogba ill and Malouda tired he should make things happen rather than drifting to the sideline slowing things down and fake shots, in that aspect he's been no better than Kalou whose directness is more beneficial to our play. I reckon the times that he should have been in the box taping in or supporting Didier outnumber his goals and assists. The few times he did he scored some important goals. Ignoring stats, when was the last time someone was throughly impressed with his overall performance in a game? I can only think of the CC Newcastle game.

Chabolah to get his debut

That. Not to mention that as young Sturridge won't get starts in such important games his alternatives are either playing a man who has developed an allergy to the box or having Salomon Kalou lead the line.
