Once you have Carlo talking about a player that way, you know it's gonna happen today. Expect Rajkovic to go the other way along with a ton of cash. Just as well I reckon - his WP problems are frustrating, and he never would have got a chance here.

Drogba.

So, is there an unveiling in the offing today?

Yeah. I too kept thinking that all through the game. The man's been a different class. But for me the scoreline doesn't mask the fact that we're having to rely on individual brilliance (DD) rather than slick passing, intelligent movement and good all round team play to score goals. Like Blue Heart said, the game was over at 2-0 and then it was much easier for the guys to find space around them, allowing poor performers like Essien to get into it much more. I rated those guys based on how effective they were for the team when it was needed most. You're cross with me aren't you?

Bit harsh on DD there but agree with the rest. Let's not get carried away, we're still only 4th. Need better performances while keeping the efficiency in front of goal intact. And someone needs to give Essien the hairdryer. He's been horrible for a while now.

Match ratings : Cech - 6.5 Bosingwa - 5 Ivanovic - 5 Terry - 6.5 Cole - 5.5 Mikel - 7 Essien - 3 Ramires - 6.5 Malouda - 6 Drogba - 8 Anelka - 7.5 Josh - 5.5 Kalou - 5 MOTM for me - Drogba

that should be a pen

Kalou coming on

RAMMBOOOOOO! GET IN SON!

Oi Josh. Good to see him!

Bolton really are playing dirty. I've lost respect for Coyle's team.

Carlo, I beg you to put in Josh and Sturridge RIGHT NOW.

3! 3! 3! 3!

Take off Essien. He's been utterly useless.

LOL Drogba

Bolton has the deadest home support in the league. Oh wait, I forgot about Arsenal.

When DD decides to put his game face on, he's still the best striker on the planet. Shame it doesn't happen too often these days. Happy with the goals, but let's be honest - it's been a shambolic performance. I've never seen Essien play so poorly.

watch it.

Muscunt.

Fuck's sake. Same old same old.

How long till the line ups?

ffs people don't get your panties in a bunch. This is BS reporting, just because Luiz looks likely to join doesn't mean we'll straightaway discard Alex in the middle of the season.

T6. I'll be back.

The what now thread?
