Ah, same old Chelsea.. No passion, no commitment, no flare, no heart, no desire, no intent to shoot.. And that's just Drogba.

Yeah apparently he knew going to South Africa would sabotage his career after.. Seems he's paying the price for his stupidity.

He will have a much freer role today with Essien playing as the holding player (I think). Should be a good chance for him to show why we deemed him such a prudent investment

Check back during kick-off, there should be some up

Perhaps. We must find someone who will unlock this potential though, doesn't seem like Carlo is..

Only 22 and such a huge rapport. Sounds very good, if he's naturally a right sided player, he'd be perfect for us. Damn shame he'll end up at United though, that's the last player I want them to have.

Haven't really seen him play, well actually heard of him till of late.. What can you tell me about him?

I don't think he's moving to City or anywhere. Wolfsburg had all this speculation in summer too, but his buy out clause alone is £30million. Then again, this is City we're talking about.

Hopefully we'll reassert our dominance at the Bridge

http://www.premierleague.com/page/FormGuide We sit right at the bottom. The only encouraging sign is, our home form hasn't been that bad in our last 6 games (at home). W W W W D L However, our last 6 games, home & away.. L L D D D L

Haha both your points fit each other. If our management can work out how to get these young players (like Kakuta) to reach their potential, that would be fantastic!

Damn.. My match day passion always gets the better of me. COME ON CHELSEA BACK TO WINNING WAYS WITH YOU! :cfc:

LOL well I was thinking Ronaldo rather than Bebe

Also, here's an idea for who we need. Manchester United's scouts.

Word for word, Max. Spot on!

can't believe how deluded I was..

We know it's going to be Cech Bosingwa - Ivanovic - Terry - Cole Ramires - Essien - Lampard Anelka - Drogba - Malouda There really is no indication that's set to change, in shape or personnel. The best we can hope for is they don't screw it up :\

Anelka's back for this one. I'll be very surprised if Kakuta gets 90minutes.

That's precisely HOW a team goes from double-winning to average! Failure to replace these players have cost us dearly. Our bench has never been so weak, at least before we could call up Ballack, Deco, Belleti even Judas, knowing they'd make a difference to the play and make us more likely to score! We had the experience of Ricardo Carvalho to call up when Alex was injured or Terry was tired, we had a whole season knowing he'd be gone the next but failed to replace him. These players, gave us depth, imagination, attacking variety! And now they're gone and no-one's replaced them. There's no trust in our youth so what can Carlo do, but play the players he's got, who at the moment don't give a f*ck. Though there are the exceptions of players like, Cech, Terry, Ivanovic, Malouda.. They can't do it on their own. They need help and there isn't any around.

Actually, I think, we should blame the board and/or Carlo for not speaking up to Roman/The Board at the time.

Hardly, look at the squad.

Exactly. At least he hasn't left us with huge debts by taking out loans in our name, or taking funds out the club for personal gains. (Glazers & Hicks/Gillette)
