  1. What's wrong with Fernando's touches? They're all so poor..
  2. Carlo found his balls . I think he realises Torres is at his best as a lone forward. Malouda, Anelka and Frank Lampard will need to perform. C'mon Chels ! According to the official website we're playing in the diamond formation with Malouda as the man behind the strikers, interesting.. Don't like Ivanovic at right-back in the diamond formation though.. but then again, Bos is injured. We need constant width from our right and left-back and they need to be good on the ball.
  3. The scary thing about Ronaldo is that even though he should be one of the definitions of the word greatness, you still ask what if? The level of greatness he could've reached is frightening. Goodbye Ronaldo. Am I the only who gets annoyed seeing Cristiano playing with Ronaldo on the back of his shirt (wearing Raúl's number too)? It's not even his first or last name.
  4. Yeah totally agree with you, 21 mil pounds in total for him was a good deal. I was against signing Torres for 50 mil, now I can only hope he'll score many goals for us. Don't see it happening in a two pure strikers system though. Fernando is at his best in the middle as a lone striker, he shouldn't be drifting out wide.
  5. 5. David Luiz did a very good job (and he'll probably be my favourite Chelsea player in a matter of weeks ). 6. CA made changes earlier than he normally does.
  6. Hmm didn't really notice that tbh. But he was far from the worst player on the pitch today. Mikel really disappointed me today. He plays a crucial role in the diamond formation but again, he didn't perform in a big game. Really don't get why.
  7. Essien and Terry were our best players. He moved well, his passing was good, he worked hard and he hardly did anything wrong.
  8. Was really looking forward to this game.. What a disappointing result and what a poor, poor performance. Sigh. How I miss the days of Stamford Bridge being an unbreakable fortress.. And I think the diamond formation should only be a option against the weaker sides of the league. It's too easy to defend for the top sides. Liverpool beat us twice with their worst team in i don't know how many years, they must be having a party.
  9. One positive from this game, Luiz is going to be huge hit. A defender with the skill and grace of a classy midfielder, love him already .
  10. It's so sad Mikel never performs in big matches. Just don't get it. Come on Chelsea. Losing to Liverpool is shameful, losing to them twice is a disgrace.
  11. No! Bosingwa has been solid and he's the only RB we have who can provide us constant width and he's solid on the ball. He's been one of the three Chelsea players who were actually solid.
  12. Poor first half, not creating any chances. And whenever Liverpool got forward, they were threatning. Fernando has been very poor. Bad touches, poor passing and pretty invisible. Terry and Essien have been our best players. The rest needs to up their game, we won't get anywhere playing like this. COME ON CHELSEA !
  13. I think I've found him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPNN94VLWaw&feature=player_embedded And he did this all in one week.. No, I don't hate Kalou. Just having some fun.
  14. Damnit I switched to the Fulham game to watch Kakuta. Happy to see he scored the winner. Keep up the good work DS.
  15. That's true. He isn't the Drogba of old who used to be the highest man on the pitch at all times. That's the most important thing and that is what I was slightly concerned about. I just hope players don't get forced into the starting line-up.
  16. A Sturridge - Torres partnership sounds good indeed, hope it'll happen in one or two years.
  17. I have to say I agree, that was my concern too. A two-striker system with two pure strikers has never worked out, one will have to adjust the way they normally play. And I doubt if they one of them will want to do that or more importantly if one of them can do that without performing at a lower level.
  18. Eto'o - Milito failed. Mourinho changed the system after a month or two because of that and Eto'o played as a left attacker/midfielder for the rest of the season. Btw, I actually like the the goal.com line-up but it would be unfair to pick Malouda over Ramires judging on current form. But if Malouda does play well, that midfield could become great. That midfield has skill and work rate. The only small problem is the fact that Frank always plays on the left and could be less effective on the right. Some may say that small things like that don't but it really does.

  20. There's one thing you can't take away from Salomon and that thing is the fact he is something special. Agree with the team and bench looks good indeed. Wouldn't play Terry on the right though. Why? He never plays on the right and Terry - Cole just works so why change it. And with Ivanovic on the right, Luiz will have a very defender next to him who'll help him out a lot at the back since Ivanovic doesn't go forward as much as Ash.
  21. He played behind the strikers today, think Kaka in his Milan days.
  22. I don't believe it's a reaction to the signing of Torres. It may have had some effect but I think it's because he simply played in a different role, a role that fits him much better. .
  23. Where are the people who said Anelka would become 'The Sulk' again ? Very true. But I was confident we would get back and win the game, you could see it in the way we played.
  24. Agree. Cech Ivanovic - Luiz - Terry - Cole Mikel Essien - Lampard Anelka Kalou - Torres We will destroy Liverpool if we play like we did today, especially if Anelka plays like he did today. And he's right. You don't buy a striker for 50 mil and play him on the sides. Would make no sense at all.
