Peace.

I would go - if both Alex and Benayoun are fit - for.... -------------------- Cech ---- Ivanovic - Alex - Terry - A.Cole ----------------------- Mikel ------------ Ramires --- Benayoun -------------- Zhirkov ----------------------- Kalou -------------- Drogba If they aren't fit... ------------------- Cech -- Paulo - Ivanovic - Terry - A.Cole ------------------- Mikel ---------- Ramires ---- Lampard ----- Kalou --- Drogba --- Zhirkov

Pretty much like "Kalou hater", isn't it ?

Cech - 7 - As usual, I would say. Bosingwa - 3 - Since his come back he didn't convince me once. But now he has clearly convinced me that we should sell him in the summer. He can't defend nor cross a God damn ball (all his crosses either hit the first defender or go in the stand). Ivanovic - 6,5 - Did the job. John Terry - 7 - Like above. Ashley Cole - 6 - ditto. Essien - 3 - Abysmal. Lampard - 3 - Abysmal. Ramires - 5 - He wasn't implied in the game as usual, but still a good game from him. From the "flop" he turned into our best midfielder. Zhirkov - 5 - Not a great game at all. But I believe he hasn't been handled correctly, he should have had 20 minutes of playing time (at least) against Stoke, because we threw him in a big big game, while he hasn't played a game for a while. Drogba - 7,5 - I'm really pleased by his commitment. He can be execrable when he's doing his antics, but he was the our best player last night, and he was the one with the more motivition... During some 20 minutes, it was "Dider Drogba Vs Manutd". Torres - 5 - Well, he has done good moves here and there, but that's all. Malouda - the wrong substitution. Anelka - ? Mikel - 5 - He didn't have that much of time to show things. Though it was enough to show why he should have started the game.

The fuck is this "glory hunter" thing ? To think that a manager/player has nothing to do in a Chelsea shirt and to wish his departure for the club sake, makes you a glory hunter ?

Wicked banner !!

Our midfield was abysmal... Just as were our substitutions.

Fucking substitutions

Our midfield is a joke.

That killed me.

What Drogba is doing

Nervous as fuck !

^ No need to 'yell'.

I wouldn't say he was awful, but yeah he wasn't that great. I really hope Mikel starts the game. We really need him to help out Terry and Ivanovic given that neither Cole nor Bosigwa will stay back when we'll attack. But I can't see him play... Since we have change our formation shape, he has mysteriously disapeared of the line-up...

Happy Birthday !

Well, I can see why Ancelotti has done this substitution. I actually hoped this substitution happens ! Bosingwa was going too much forward, he was caught out of position many times and he let too much space for Stoke players. To be honest, in the second half, I believed we would lose if he had stayed on the pitch. I assume Ancelotti has had the same feeling than me and he subbed him to don't lose. Yeah you could argue that it's a small-time player move, but a defeat would have been a major blow up for us before a very important game !! And imo, if there was a wrong substitution made yesterday, it was Kalou for Ramires !! I can understand that Ancelotti wanted to rest him before manure game, but then I would have either brought in Zhirkov for Ramires in order to keep the 4-2-2 shape, or brought in Mikel and play in 4-3-3. It's funny, whenever you think he was good I think he was shit

Kiss my ass Fergie !!

Happy birthday mate

Very disapointed. We should never play this defense again. When I saw the official lineup, I wasn't reassured by the Bosigwa-Luiz thing and thought it was a bad idea. I was proven right. It isn't well balanced. If we want to play Bosingwa, then we should play either Ivanovic or Alex (when fit) in the center. Because both Bosingwa and Luiz are going to much forward. And that problem is increased by the fact that Essien, contrary to Mikel, doesn't stay deep to help out the defense. Fortunately it was just Stoke, because in my opinion we would have conceded many goals today against a better side. The first goal was a result of this imbalance (Bosingwa was way too high on the field). In my opinion we should consider to sell Bosingwa and find a young talented righ back... Defensively he wasn't that good, imo... Malouda has had another shit game. I can't understand how on earth Carlo, and Laurent Blanc as well, can still play him. I really hope he won't start manure game... If it was up to me, he would sit in the stand for one or two game (at least), in order to give him a wake up slap. With Zhirkov who isn't given a proper chance, we really need to look for left winger... And a right winger too, lol. It's been a while that Drogba hasn't played like that. I was pleased by his hunger. He has recovered his strenght, not entirely, but he's really on his way back. He had a good game. Though I believe he should have scored a second goal. Once again Ramires has had a very good game. He becomes more and more important for us. Cech was as good as usual. Terry and Luiz has played quite bad to be honest, I think they had an off-day, and they weren't helped by the fact that they were lonely on the counter attacks. We haven't deserved to win to be honest, so I guess we should be happy to come back from the Britania Stadium with one point in the bag. PS: I fucking hate Manure.

What a dreadful Saturday...

We should sub Bosingwa... He gives Stoke players too much space

Didiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeerrrrrr

Malouda starts to cross and makes passes when Torres is not on the pitch, coincidence ?

Bloody Saturday...

Yeah, most certainly. But as Benayoun has played with Israel, I thought that he would have some playing time today.

I don't know what thinking of this lineup... I'm weary to see Malouda once again featuring the starting XI, he has played like an utter shit with France... I just hope this means Zhirkov will start Manure game. And I'm also disapointed that Mikel doesn't start the game... And I'm suprise to don't see Alex and Benayoun on the bench !
