You beat me to it ceasarblues. I was just about to post that article. Great read. He and Ess should really switch positions more, it could really provide us a lot more variety going forward. When Essien goes forward, he would be a goalscoring threat. And when Mikel goes forward, he could provide a incisive pass to cut open the opposition's defence

Are Chelsea a better team then? - No Why? (love how he says why) - Because our manager will Lord Arsene not allow us to accept this as we play nice football. Lord Arsene sounds very sinister.

This will not be a easy match at all. But we just have to win at home. Drogba has been underperforming in his last two, three matches. Would be great if he would hit topform again against his favorite opponent. Hoping Malouda, Anelka and Mikel will continue their great form. We will need them to defeat them. :cfc:

Couldn't agree more.

Pretty good first half Boring second half Three points On to Arsenal

Sadly we're not playing well

So happy for Obi. He's playing with so much confidence now and that makes him a joy to watch.

You can't compare Terry's penalty with Anelka's. But let's forget about it and enjoy the match.

Playing like Kakuta is now ? I haven't seen Kakuta do anything wrong..

He took that penalty as if he wanted Man Utd to win...

Gaël !

Zhirkov as LCM again... (better than Ess-Mikel-Ramires though) I see Yuri leaving us in the summer. A player like him deserves more, quality quality player.

4. Only his performances as striker should be praised or critisized. He's not a right attacker but the coach is playing him there.

Please keep Ash away from this club.

''20 assists every season'' Not true. 2009/2010 was the first season he reached 20 assists in all competitions in one full season. 2004/2005 16 assists 2005/2006 10 assists 2006/2007 15 assists 2007/2008 11 assists 2008/2009 19 assists

Haha trust me, i am relaxed. I'm just surprised how you got all that from my post. And i'll say it again cause i don't think you're understanding what i'm saying. This season Sturridge has always been asked to play out wide. So i'm not just talking about today's game and it worries me. If Carlo continues to play him out wide, he won't be able to develop as a striker. The same happened to Kalou and look what happend to him. Most people don't even know he's a natural striker.

Wow wow, who was talking about going back two strikers up front??? Did you accidently reply to my post or something? I would actually cry if that were to happen. I said Danny shouldn't be played out wide all the time. This season he has not played as a striker once and i'm worried about that. Anelka has made it perfectly clear that he loves playing in his new role. Giving him the oppurtunity to roam around the field and be involved in play. His words: I'm not a striker anymore.

Carlo should stop playing Sturridge out wide. Mourinho did the same with Kalou and that messed up his true potential. The same is happening with Danny (just because of their pace). Sturridge is a striker. His quality is being doubted at the moment and that's not fair. He isn't playing in his natural position.

The only reason we lost is because of the lack of creativity. Absolutely no creativity. Our forwards got 0 usefull balls. My goodness our play was horrible. Super slow, very clumsy and incredibly predictable. Ess - Mikel - Ramires can work against the likes of Blackpool and West Brom but will absolutely not work against a top 7, 8 side. Lamps and Bena, please come back soon. We desperately need you.

Bring on Josh. We need creativity

COME ON ALEX !

They've broken our team. Pass the ball, don't shoot all the time !

Malouda should play in midfield, not Zhirkov. Why doesn't he ever get to play left wing

City will go ultra-defensive now
