This poll is really stupid. everybody want Chelsea to win it, the question should be: "is a the cwc a priority?" "do you care about cwc", or something like that. If you ask me if I want Chelsea to win Community Shield or League Cup, I would say yes, but I really dont care that much for both competitions.

Torres is not the one to blame. In fact Shaktar cound scored at least 4 goals in that game, while we had only few chances. We have to win this game, this is a crucial match, even a 5 year old child knows "it will take time to iron out the kinks".

Who said we need Oscar, Hazard and Mata together to attack? The 3 guys can barely help in the defensive system. I remember Spurs second goal, someone lost the ball and then none of the 3 return to help in the defence. Spurs had a lot of chance to score, and if they had better attacking players perhaps the result would be different. Fernandinho, best Shaktar player yesterday said it: "They have a different team from the one that played UCL final. Many times the offensive players attacked and didnt return. They were left with the 4 deffensive players and only one DM in front of them. Its a different style, the team that won the CL was more compact." He said Shaktar players had too much space to create, and he think Chelsea were exposed to the counter attacks. imo, this is a problem with this system. Barcelona have Busquets, Xavi and Iniesta, all players that are very good in the defence, and specially Xavi and Iniesta are superb in the attack. The 3 players are good in the attack but they still lack the defensive skills, like Malouda and Anelka had in previous years. Even Robben, Kalou and Joe Cole could help a lot in the defence. Just see Oscar, the guy run a lot when he is defending, he try to mark, to almonst never he desarm the opponent. If we start with these 3 players against Manchester, I think we will be in trouble. Mikel, Lampard, Ramires, Oscar, Mata; Sturridge.

I think we cant start Oscar, Mata and Hazard together in this match. We need more cover in our problematic defensive system.

Mate, we will face Monterey in the semi. Corinthians will play african or asian team.

http://soccernet.esp.../id/218?cc=3888 "Where patience is running out is in the decision-making of David Luiz. Rarely a match goes by without the Brazilian playing a significant part in the build-up to an opponent's goal. His mistake for the opener in Donetsk was not quite as glaring as the one which saw Carlo Ancelotti chastise the defender for allowing Javier Hernandez to score in the opening seconds of a pivotal Premier League match at Old Trafford in May 2011 but it was just as costly." What a clown, in fact Luiz is our most solid defender in this season, and only a fool would blame him for that goal, because after his mistake Terry and Ashley Cole were there to fix things, but both failed miserably. And in terms of decision making, Terry was way worst than Luiz today, many time he left his position and got nothing but creating a chance for Shaktar. In the article there is no one single word about El Flop.

He was doomed by injuries in Germany, and this is what happening now. The guy cant even start a season because he is injured.

Have a bad felling about it, perhaps because of Atléticos and Shaktar matches. We have the better players, but they were far superior in both games. We are strong at SB, but in neutral or away matches outside England we are yet to win a match. No sure if Corinthians is way worst than Shaktar.

Torres = El Flop

We wont lose the match against Juve, as simple as that.

your first sentence is righ, but the second one is disgusting. We were lucky that Lampard got injured?

Worried about MU match. Our defence is our biggest problem. I dont know what happens to our defence, sometimes it just dont work, and when our defence dont work it just sucks. What was that first goal? everything started in a inofensive throw in, and in the corner kicks it was chaos. Perhaps the club needs to look for its defence. I think its our biggest problem, instead Torres.

Why worrying?

Hazard played good if you consider him an avarage player. I expect a lot more from the guy.

Hazard gave away the ball for the second goal, and he still got 5 votes for motm, well, 3 came from belgian fans. Oscar scored our goal, but he gave an assist for a Shaktar goal, but the guy missed, he was also far from superb today. Funny thing is, Torres was way worst when he joined us, and back there he got a lot of support and people saying he was playing good. Now he became the new Bosingwa and Anelka: our scapegoat when nothing is working.

Shakater is better than I expected. Perhaps our players underestimated the ukranian side. I think Oscar was bad, despite his goal. Hazard was also fucking awful, the guy needs to learn how to shoot, he usually go to the pitch esily. Mata was far from good. Ramires was our better player in the midfield. Terry was in a bad day. Well, I think Torres was decent in the first half, imo he was our best attacking player in the first 45 minutes. Hazard and Oscar were not better than the spaniard today. I also would like to know who asked for Mkel to take that free kick in the end of the match, no surprise the ball went directly to GK`s hand, the guy was good in the defence, tough. Now we must win the match against Shaktar next week.

He is not playing well, but was our best attacking player in first half. What about Oscar and Hazard?

He did.

Ramires the best player on the pitch for us. Torres also good, terrible game by our 3 midfielders. Oscar and Hazard really poor.

Sometimes a player shoot the ball, and then a defender make a small contact in the ball, and changes a little bit the direction of the ball and it went to the net. If not for that contact there would be no goal. That doesnt make it an own goal. But thats football for you.

I lost all respect for EPL official stats. I remember one game that Ballack took a very nice free kick, the ball hit the post then GK's back and went to the net. It was considered an own goal. I dont know how that could be assist. That doesnt matter, anyway.

Of course that wasnt a assist, ffs. Gallas was the one that made the assist.

Maradona was the mad guy, while Messi is the quite and nice one. People love legends from the past, some love to say "there will never be a player like x". For me, I think is better to see the history hapenning.

Useless in the 1st half, and awful in the 2nd. During the match here were times when I was really angry with this guy. Right now he is not the disaster he was in the beginning of his Chelsea career, but he is an avarage CF, the kind that score some good goals and some matches, but then miss incredible chances or make a lot of silly mistakes in others. Just like Gudjonsen when he used to play as a CF here.
