Peace.

I just saw Kalou's goal again... And I wonder something, how with a such good finishing (on this goal) can he manage to miss tap-ins ?

Good performance by the whole team. I'm totaly agree on the MOTM. Drogba was everywhere. He was good at attack, good at defense, nuff said. My second satisfaction is the partnership Essien-Mikel, they were really good today. Mikel has completed 80 passes out of 83, Essien 93 out of 104. Impressive. I hope to see that again. Finaly Malouda has made a decent game. ps: good report mate.

Marcelo, what a diver lol

You are fucking ridiculous with your 'plastic fan' and 'glory hunter"...

I do not understand all the fuss about the playing time given to Torres... Carlo has made what he should have done since the begining, ie give him few minutes, and then gradually give him more time. I hope he (Carlo) will give Torres just 20 minutes next time, and so on... Because the way he has integrated the team isn't the right way if you ask me. He never should have start against Liverpool. The partnership Mikel-Essien was very good today, I hope to see it again.

Yep ! And it's funny, I remember you said the same thing on another topic this week

I do not think so. He certainly is rested for the FA youth Cup.

We are trying everything to make Torres score. lol

Vela is for sure an Arsenal player...

That was a nice action.

Wow, Drogba was playin' in defense, midfield or attack ?! And what happened to Malouda, some nice passes, some good crosses..?

Drogba is fucking every where.

If Torres was playing, we wouldn't have scored.

Drogba was onside... Nice pass Mikel.

Drogba is 'Wow !!' at the moment

Drogba is back.

Thanks Didier ! ps: Torres, you will have to work hard..

Please, can we stop talking about trophies ? This is absolutely nonsense. This isn't the way we should determine whether the coach has to stay or has to leave. We should take this decision based on what he achieved with the team, what futur he can offer us. If I want Ancelotti out, it is not because he is a bad coach or because we end up trophyless. Even if by some divine intervention we win the EPL this year, or if we had win the Champions League, I wouldn't change my mind about that matter. He could be the best coach of all the times, he still isn't the right person for what we need. We need a team which plays a defined style, a team which promote youth players from our academy, a team which favorise the talent over the experience. And we need a coach with fresh ideas, a 'new school' coach, not a conservative. At the moment we are doing exactly the contrary. Our style of play is absolutely a mess. Nobody has a clue on the field. The players just make lateral passes, or try to shot from a long range, nobody presses the opposite side, nobody can pass their man, nobody can handle the pressure (bar John Obi Mikel). And it's the coach who has to make the players play like this or like that. This year Ancelotti has no clue on what's going on, he just plays the same starting eleven week in and week out, and prays the Lord that it works. He never tries new things, new formations. Everybody knows what will be our team and the our formation. There is no surprise at all... Oh, wait, actually he made one surprise the last week, even if nobody knows what it was. When we had a lot of players injured, we needed to adopt a new formation which suit the players who were remaining, but he didn't do that. He only changed the formation once we had Torres, so he more or less changed the formation because of Abramovitch. His substitutions never change the game, and they are always the same : at the 70th minutes, Kalou for Anelka, at the 80th, a right back for a right back, and never a thrid sub. For instance, in the West Ham Vs ManUtd, few weeks ago, Ferguson has replace Evra by Giggs at the half time, and it worked very well. But we do not see that type of things.... The youth involvement is fiasco. We had 5 youth at the start of the season, where are they ? One at Bolton, one at Fulham and two at Leicester. Did they get playing time ? No. Did the coach trust them ? No. Sturridge exemple is the better to illustrate the situation. During a periode we had in one hand : a striker with the Malaria, two who were underperforming and an other one who doesn't have the level to be titular. On the other hand we had a young promising player who whenever he played was better than Anelka and co. Though he didn't have playing time at all... We can't expect from someone who has said that he loved experienced players to built a team for the futur. Finally, I do not think he is the right man for the stability. When he left Milan, they had to rebuilt the whole team.... ^ that's for all those reasons that I think we should continue without Ancelotti. I do not think he meets the criterias whom we need. Yes he has done very well in his first season here, with the double, the 103 goals and all... But his two years here have highlighted one thing : he is a good coach when he has a lot a worldclass experienced players, but he isn't a good coach when it's about involve young players. ps: if it's to hire a coach who can't play the youth, then i'd rather keep Ancelotti.

Stop focussing on Torres. We're not here to make Torres score, we're here to win games. If at least he added something to the team, okay, but since he is here he is like a ghost on the pitch.

Oh well *sigh*... Then my team : Cech Ivanovic - Luiz - Terry - A.Cole Mikel Essien - Benayoun Kalou - Drogba - Zhirkov I would start Drogba. He has proved that he is the best option we have in attack, and one of our best players, if not the best, since the start of the month. I would like to play Benayoun behind him in the 4-4-2 shape, but Ramires is injured so Benayoun has to step back to replace him in the midfield. Therefore, the 4-3-3 appeares to me as the best formation... My winger would be Zhirkov and Kalou. Yeah I know Kalou isn't good when he's playing in that position, but Malouda and Anelka shouldn't be any near of the pitch (everyone know why) and Benayoun is already in the midfield. About Torres, I would just give him 30-35 minutes in the second half. At the moment he is nothing but a waste of space. Lampard has to be benched, he has yet to play a good game (= he doesn't deserve to play) plus he can't play week in week out, otherwise at this rate he will soon have to end up his career. On the contrary, Mikel has to start. If he can't start with an off form Lampard and an injured Ramires, then he will never play (oh, I said the same thing about Sturridge). The place remaining is to Essien. Even if he has been in a bad form lately, he is still more usefull than Lampard (for instance he has provide the assist tuesday night, on Drogba's goal). The defense isn't a problem, so the same back four as usual will do. There's just one thing I would like to see : Ivanovic and Luiz switch their place during the game (like they did at Fulham).

You beat me to it Well, Alex isn't a real problem since he isn't a starter, but Ramires yes ! I wonder who is gonna replace him, Benayoun ?

That was my point, lol.
