DYC.

Fair enough, personally I don't get it. I'm not asking for him to start regularly or even play every week but he's hardly playing and he's not developing.

Not a single person would have said that.

Josh was a regular last season compared to his game time in the current season. I refuse to believe he isn't ready to even play 30 min against Wigan.

Nahh I'm talking about the attitude and the way we played. We didn't really go for it and were ready to settle. Can't ever be the case against the likes of Wigan imo.

I disagree. Chelsea can't ever sit on 1-0 lead against a side like Wigan. We should've seriously gone for the kill.

Mehh Robben is a pure winger and his game is based far more on skill than CR and Sturridge. CR and Danny both make up for average/poor performances by scoring a goal all of sudden.

Danny is Cristiano Ronaldo-light, seriously.

Some points: - We rely too much on Mata to create something. - Sturridge needs to learn not to dribble so much and to keep it more simple. - Drogba really needs to be more of a presence in the box And this is what's annoying about Mata's drifting, we lack a threat from the left wing.. The main reason why I'm hoping for a left winger so Mata can move into the middle, the area where he spends most of his time anyway.

Haha I'm sorry but Van Buyten made me laugh. He's such an average defender, prone to make idiotic mistakes. Kompany is definitely great but Hazard never played in the Jupiler League though. And I like Witsel, he's got potential

Whatever we do, we must defend deep.

Yup. Yeah he used to fill in for Puyol who's had injury troubles for a long time now (the same goes for when Piqué had an injury of course)..

Busquets plays at CB a lot, especially before Masche moved to Barca, and he does a decent job most of the time. Can't imagine him as a CB at any other team though.

Why don't we go for Podolski? Able to play on the left and in the middle and he's willing to leave (23 goals in 32 league matches in the year 2011 btw).

Yeah they were definitely the better side, no doubt about that. But many made it seem as if City were Barcelona-esque and that they were killing us. We were indeed poor with the ball where it mattered but we defended well, except for Joké Bosingwa, and they literally had just two chances.

You know I kept hearing about how we got outplayed in the first 20-25 min and all the time all I could say was: really? So I just watched the first 25 min of the game again and I have to say, saying City outplayed us is such an exaggeration. Don't get me wrong, City were the better side. We didn't create anything, except for the Drogba shot, but City only created two chances, the Balotelli goal and the Aguero shot which he should've converted. We had enough of the ball though our play in their half was too rushed and sloppy and we defended well, except for the moments I mentioned earlier. So to say we were outplayed is simply not true.

Except for that early mistake which got punished, another very good performance by Terry. Very weak in 1-on-1 situations and with space behind him but other than that, class. Villas-Boas should simply accept that he can't ever play a high-line as long as Terry is playing (the same goes for Alex and Ivan at CB), he's only hurting his own team.

Just love big games, let's do this.

Bosingwa . Was hoping for Alex in the centre and Ivan at RB. We can only hope for the best now.

Barca didn't play well last night, in Barca terms, yet they still beat Real comfortably, really says a lot.

I don't think it's a coincidence that Maka got praised as Chelsea's DM by football fans, Essien got praised when he played DM in his prime by football fans, Romeu currently receives praise as Chelsea's DM by football fans yet Mik

Woww. Starting a discussion would be useless so I'll leave it at that.

Better than (you even added much) Pato and Benzema, really? You sure that's not the bias talking?

Stupid red beard .

Liar liar, pants on fire.
