What were you expecting? David Gill is on the FA board. The ban for red nose was a token ban, he was constantly on the phone with his assistants all these games. I'm not surprised anymore with the bias towards united. Sad but true.
Sturridge should play upfront. That's where a natural, instinctive finisher like him should be. Putting Sturridge and Kalou out wide is like trying to fit square pegs into round holes. Agree with everything about Zhirkov for Malouda by the way.
Right so Luiz's first costly mistake in our shirt has arrived. And in a twisted sort of way I'm glad it has. Just takes away some of his heroic aura and helps to avoid that burden of expectation of some brilliance from him everytime he walks out. He will make mistakes, but easily has the potential to go down as the best defender in Chelsea history. Stoke deserved a point to be fair. They showed us what they are all about and we couldn't deal with it. A just result. Moving on, we've got bigger fish to fry midweek. Bring on those jammy bastards!
His attitude stinks more than his dip in form. As someone who devotes a lot of myself to this club, what I primarily want to see is the players giving their all for the team and shedding sweat, blood and tears. That's what is missing with Malouda at the moment. Just makes you realize the value of guys like the much maligned Kalou who gets a lot of stick inspite of trying every single minute that he's out on the pitch.
Youtube videos can make anyone look good to be fair but this Willian guy is a genuinely good player and I'd welcome him here. Pace, directness, a sweet right peg, strength and enthusiasm. Something you'd be hard pressed to find in the sulky plonker Malouda.
There need not be a correlation between minutes played and injuries suffered. Didn't someone get injured earlier in the season by smashing his leg into an airplane trolley? Hilarious
