Peace.

^ Eldo is right. We have apparently a great academy. He will more improve here than at Celtic.

Do you want him to stop with Lampard ? Yes ? Then you just have to say something against ManCity

I bet Kalou is happy now, he doesn't get the stick anymore !

What pisses me off about this game, is that we should have given a rest to Ashley Cole ahead of the United game, yet we can't because we didn't have included our second LB choice...

Kalou is better than Torres.

A swap Torres/Pato ? God, I wouldn't hesitate a second. I would even bring Torres in Lombardy on my own ! Though, I can't see how there would be any truth in it. If by some hasard, Milan board is really considering this move, I would really question their sanity. Or maybe they are thinking to an offer of the kind of "Torres + 30m".

Bertrand isn't in the CL squad.

There is more tension and anger today (after a win and having a good game) than after our poor games...Strange.

Wow wow, no need to yell....

Lampard wasn't great, but to say he was shit is really hard on him. He did try to move after passing the ball, and did try to make some 1/2. He actually hasn't got a bad game today.

So for you having Torres score a goal while we're already two goals up is more important than resting two of our best players for two tough game ?

What he did ?

Stop moaning about the substitution Mata/Torres. André Villas-Boas is here to make Chelsea perform. He is just giving a rest to Mata considering the UCL game and the United game. This is far more important than make Torres score a goal. He knows what he does.

This is the first game of the season for Danni. For his fitness it is better for him to do not play the entire game. This substitution makes sense.

Sturridge - £65k per-week Torres - £180k per-week

Wow, I didn't even understand what Danni did... I still do not xD

Should have been a red imo...

WTF Bosingwa...

Terryyyyyyy !

I kinda understand the choice André Villas-Boas has made about Kalou/Lukaku. Torres will certainly play, so the CF substitution will be made and Lukaku won't have the opportunity to play. At the contrary, Kalou "can" play on the wing.

Hard to say... Because two days ago, he has said : So he may just be applying what he said back then...

Interesting lineup. I am looking forward to see how the front three will play. I guess they will all have a free role.

C'mon, a front three "Kalou - Anelka - Malouda" isn't juicy

A ) Humm... While I would agree that the lack of support could partialy explain his poor performances, I do believe his problems are mainly due to his confidence and his physical. Indeed, even when he is playing for Spain - where he has some of the best passers of the world around him and one of the best midfield (let alone the fact Spain is one of the two best teams in the world) - he doesn't look any good ! One could argue that Spain style of play doesn't suit Torres, of course. And mate, when I do speak about Torres, I base my argument on his overall and personal playing, not his goalscoring chaces. I mean, he seems to struggle to dribble, et al... He gets knocked by players who are far smaller than him (we saw this in the pre-season tour, in Asia). All those thing, in my opinion, prove that there something wrong in his head. He doesn't fall at the merely collision because he lacks of support. B ) Of course he wasn't made out of nothing. But the old Torres was breathing confidence. When he was on the pitch, when he was on the ball, you were seeing someone full of confidence. And to my eyes, his confidence hadn't have anything to do with the support he was getting... His lack of confidence as well. His ghost mode has started more or less at the World Cup. Since this tournament you can witness his dip in confidence. It has continued at Liverpool, now at our club. All this to say, our squad isn't to be blamed for Torres' poor form. Of course our midfield doesn't help him to be good, but it (our midfield) didn't have provoked Torres' poor form. The problem with Torres has started well before we bought him.
