Krypt

Yeah i only see Ash having a chance.

His problem was he was a yes man , which Roman wanted , roman wanted to squeeze the most out of this team we had without having to spend and refresh as Carlo would have done given the oppurtunity. winning the double coverd the cracks which roman wanted , so creid to Carlo for getting them to play in a way that they won the double , but last season we saw it was time that the cracks started to show. Maybe Carlo should not have been sacked and had been allowed to rebuild this team himself. But Roman picked a younger manager with fresh ideas to do that. We just need to wait and see.

Bit unfair , i would love to donate this month , but i have just moved house and have a mortgage to pay. not everyone has the spare cash at the moment. Back to the game , we really need a win on this one but i dont see anything better than a draw , i expect a danny , drogba , mata frontline and please put some effort in

The Problem with gabby is he is inconsitant ,

we seriously miss robben tearing it up down the wings.

Its a shame really i cant see were our next great striker will come from , i know we have Danny whos is a beast at the moment but i dont think AVB has faith in him to be the main man.

Good post , we have left it to late and now we are seeing the effects of piss poor club management , this needed to be addressed seasons ago but never was. We cannot make dramtic changes in Jan , especially with desperate inflated prices. i think if we can get a right winger in jan that will do , then danny can lead the line.

Yep guarenteed we dont have much sucess when it comes to big name signings , if we had signed him when he joined liverpool from Athletico he would of been great for us , we need to start signing player earlier and not after they have had there best years. Its a shame i wasnt someone who wanted him here we could have spent that sort of money on aguero but i wanted him to suceed. so i wish him luck in the furture if we do sell him i am now convinced he will leave sooner rather than later but i hope he proves us all wrong.

Getting used to these losses , somthing needs to be done Luiz descion making us apualing at the moment. Also what is it with losing to Liverpool , we couldnt beat them last season with Carlo and this season with AVB maybe Steve Clarke knows us to much..

Terry just needs to be rested more , if you think how many times he has played through all these injurys it has got to take its toll eventually. Give him some games off and he will be fresh when it matters , i do think once thise Rasicim thing is over it will help him concentate.

I dont think anyone is doubting Drogba's contribution over the years , he has been a great servent to the club , but with his age its about time someone else took over.

You have been beaten Mr Beckham

Simular to Crespo a few years back. its a shame because all of the buzz when Torres joined has really no lived up to the hype.

Quite suprised im 3rd

Not been around much this weekend so wanted to say R.I.P he will be missed.

Who could replace him though ?

I think most our fans appreicate what Drogba has done , i definatly do he has been my faviourte player over the last 8 seasons he has been here. The thing is there is a high chance he wont be here next year and if Torres is ? surely we need to play him to get used to our style and tactics moving forward. If Drogba was 27 as well i would stick with him as i think he is a better player on his day but he is not he is 33 and most likely in his last season with us. we need to look at who will lead the line for the next few years and if its not Torres its time to ship him out and either give Danny a try or find someone else who is.

I have never been the biggest torres fan. So don't get me wrong I would rather have danny as our main man anyday of the week. He is English and young and as long as he is matured the right way he will be a fantastic asset to this club. Though what my original post was about was the fact he said only white fans gave torres the suppoet after being shite for ages. I'm a white fan and my favourte players over the few years had been jimmy drogba and essien. And now Mata and danny. So skin colour does no matter. Why spend 50 mill on a player for one season ?

Bit unfair. I love drogba and I'm white. The reason people want torres to play is because drogba is 34. He is not going to be here much longer. If were going to keep torres surely he must play so we can get him used to the system for years to come?

Never really bin a fan , most likely because i spent so much time hating him at the bin dippers , but he plays for us now so i support him and i am warming to him a few more goals may help

good point , we contantly talk about our defensive frailties but , we need a confident striker we only have danny doing the buisness at the moment maybe we should go for gomez or even Soldado , i know there not names that will get us excited but they seem efficient and thats what we need.

Exaclty , Augero Dezeko ,Nasri , all brought in with the shekis millions. I do agree that we dont give our youngsters a chance and were now becoming more like AC milan were we keep star names well past there sell by date,

Yep we need a new squad of hungry players who want to win somthing for example at 34 what else does Drogba need to achive ? we need players who want success.

I agree with Mikel he has had his time to show what he can do and hasn't as for Essien i think he needs to come back into the team first because if he can shake off these injurys and return to some form he is a great asset.

People like Jose are one in a million , manager have there diffrent styles and players should respect that. what AVB needs is players that are 100% behind him.
