Hmm, I guess it's the service + the overplaying that could affecting him. But we do need him firing from 2011 otherwise we will be in some serious trouble. Drogba knows if he recaptures his form from last season our season can be saved, I hope he's working on doing that now..

Ronaldinho for £7million?

Yeah that's a downside. He really is a fantastic player, if he sorted his attitude he'd be amazing. (sorry for going off-topic btw ). I'm sure Carlo could work some magic though (if he wanted to anyway)

Ah yeah fair enough on Souness. He's great on SkySports. Andy Townsend on ITV really annoys me. I know he's ex-Chelsea but he really does annoy me as a co-commentator.

Kakuta would flourish under Didier Deschamps.. Hope it happens.

I know, but he's just so infuriating now. His play and attitude is so off now. He looks like that player who wore #15 and didn't really want to be here and just roamed the pitch. I just look at him on the pitch and he looks like the most lazy one there, not making great runs into the box, he's never there to meet crosses into the box. I might be harsh saying he's done, but there's a difference when he bring him on in the 2nd half to when he starts. Now is the time Carlo should change things around, we have another striker in the name of Danny Sturridge, let's give him an outing in Drogba's position see how he does. It's not even 2 months for Drogba either. The entire season he's been off his game, imo anyway.

£10million would be a great deal Shame Perez wouldn't see it like that

I'd love if we signed Super Mario!

Nah, I like Mikel.. I think when he's on the ball, his control is probably the best anyone has on the squad, bar McEachran perhaps. His composure and control and Josh's are fairly similar actually. Fully agree with the last line, but the fact that we don't, is why I'd like to see Mikel make those runs, just as in impulse. We've seen Terry try it, but if Mikel did it he'd be superb, because of that control he has.

Perhaps. We've just got to hope good signing are made next month so that the players can keep us in that 4th or 3rd position.. Carlo's not totally inept, he will be able to keep us in the top 4.

Basically, I think Drogba is done. He's goal record his poor, he's giving the ball away too often, he's not fighting tooth and nail to get goals. I remember on the last day of the season his spat with Lampard over the penalty for the goal.. I didn't mind that, I was actually glad, it showed how much he loved scoring and to be the top scorer. All that is gone, he's lost the hunger, the drive. He's a liability now. Pathetic isn't it? Especially since Sturridge would rather play that centre forward role. Seems, as usual, Carlo doesn't want to take that risk.

Once we fix our defence and stop the goal leaks, then I'll be happy to see Mikel sitting at DM. At the moment, I'm still not sure about his defensive abilities, as in getting in that crucial tackle and all. Though often John Terry is the last line of defence anyway. I'd also love to see Mikel attack a bit more, come out with the ball, while Essien or Ramires just sit back to give Mikel that support in case he loses it out. The boy was an attacking midfielder, I'm sure he still remembers how to make a good run.

Neymar's investment. At least he's showing all the signs of getting to his peak, baring in mind his age of course. It may take him a while to get used to the move, because he's just a kid, but at least he'll have time to improve, adapt and all that. Kaka does not have time on his side, he's decline is evident for all to see. AC Milan were geniuses for selling him when they did. They enjoyed his peak, and made a profit off of his decline

Max, be fair. A scouse he is, but he is very intelligent, arguably one of the best pundits that there is right now. His analysis is usually very good, he just got carried away on the bandwagon last night

So you think paying £40million for a player who will be "ok for a few years" is an acceptable investment? It'll be the worst transfer we've ever made, bare in mind it'll take something special to knock of Sheva from that award.

Yeah glad you said that.. Because I was going to say, let's drop Drogba. I've had enough with his rubbish attitude on the pitch, his lethargic look to get a wayward pass ect. It's a shame we don't have any other pure strikers to fill up his role at the minute, but I'd be more happy to see Sturridge - Anelka - Malouda Than Drogba ^. He's finished, I think we have to stop kidding ourselves now.

The goal: http://bit.ly/gh3fLZ

No Ivanovic. We're a slightly bit fucked? Last season: 7-1 This season: 1-1

Yeah don't worry, they were.

I know you're wrong because Terry and him played a brilliant 1-2 pass in the 86th minute and after Ramires was fouled Terry went up'd to him and said "well done" to the boy

Ah, well it's all good then

Definitely guys, you're both right.

I think he was, but little does it matter now.

Did anyone have FSC stream on? We thought Andy Gray was bad, but his guy was as anti-Chelsea as you could get. That was never going to be flagged for handball by Terry because it came at him so quick he had no time to react, he wasn't raising his arms to get in the way & he wasn't even looking at the ball. The commentator also couldn't stop berating about how Drogba was offside for Malouda's goal. Sh*t happens bro, get over it.

don't be silly, you know it'll be Ferreira.
