Spot on , this is the most fustrating thing but the only other option we seem to use is a long ball from cech....

Im always trying to look at the positives from a performace and i though we played wll yesterday much better than against liverpool. We are just struggling to break down defences we need fresh ideas.

To be honest we didn’t turned up against Liverpool we didn’t deserve to loose but we didn’t do enough to win and with all the shots we had against Fulham we should be scoring against the likes of them in open play we can’t reply on penalties. our track record with them isn’t great either

i dont think we will ever see this franks a given starter until he cant play no more and this is one of the reasons we are getting no where. some of our players seem to have a golden ticket to play theres no preasure if carlos was to drop one and play josh it just might get them to book up there ideas but its also a risky way to get performances.

exactly , can be a bit of a pre maddona though not like we havent got enough of them. though if we could get Sanchez - Torres - Neymar id be a happy man

i must say rammy has impressed me lately he really is a great prospect for the future he just seems to run forever i think he made one mistake yesterday and if it wansnt for luiz he would be my man of the match. We could really do with ballack deco and joe cole (type) back ups for when our main players arent performing.

Would that be because Torres cant play on Saturday

I just think its a big ask in getting points off Spuds utd and city in our current form.

What i think we lack is someone willing to cross the ball , Flo always cuts inside and he sometimes wastes posession ash was on the wind in a great position to cross but he decided to shoot instead we need to get the ball in the box and let torres and Drogba do what there paid for. though Drogba does have a tendancy to drift out wide which is fustrating when no ones in the box...

No Chance Fergie drops his top goal scorer when he is playing well. we have two options kick them up the arse or drop them , the only thing is who to replace them with. This was the thing last year we had the likes of ballack deco and joe cole to add pressure to the first team. i just think most of them now know no matter how they perform they will still have a place in the side. we need more competition for places... when is yossi and zhirkov back?

I think we can say never , i cant see cesc wanting to play in the europa league ?

Josh may not be the answer to our problems but nither are our current bunch , it just looks like they have all given up this season after the sucess of last season and the start to this they expected to roll over teams week in week out and i think this arrogance has cost us. I think i remember someone saying this season they are not Scared of Chelsea anymore. We used to be a force we would go to clubs and they would be afraid of what we would do to them and how to keep the score down, this helps so much mentally for our team but this season its gone.

i have to agree , Drogba did more in the time he came on then torres all game. im not begrudging torres as he needs time to settle in ,i just have always though he wont be the answer to our problems. had torres been here last year he would be banging in the goals. he has come to us at a bad point. Though if i hear carlo say bad moment one more time i might have to go and slap him :eyebrows:

There is an almighty high chance though , I just cant see spuds losing any of those games , they seemed to get lucky against Sunderland and this seem the tread for them this season. unless we start banging in the goals over night , the best we can hope for is draws against utd city and spuds. this will put us so far back though and we will be batteling the bin dippers for 5th. we need to start playing and playing well. The only other option is Citeh fucking up and we take 4th from then. Just wish it was the final day of the season so we could see what happens. Its the not knowing that bothers me , though last season we knew we where going to qualify for the champions league by this point. It hasnt been like this since pre-roman and i can say we all would of been happy with 5th back then we just seem to expect so much nowadays its getting me down thinking that we are 5th and its not even then end of the season we could finnish lower :unsure:

So what do you guys think , with us having to play utd twice and city do you see us finnishing above the yids? they seem to have an easy ride and there beating teams they would normally lose to this season.

Or Conquer the Europa Next Season , maybe we have realised that Uefa wont let us win The Champions League so were gonna have a shot at the Europa

Mourinho was only there to see old friends properly or maybe scout Drogba , i wouldn’t read too much into it,. There is no way he is coming back i just don’t see it ever happening . Carlo is a Yes man that’s what Roman wants.

Josh has somthing to prove so it might benifit us brining him on. we need hungry players its not always about the best players to put on the pitch its about the ones who are going to give 100% the issue with Anelka is it seems like he has to think about his whole life before having a shot or making a pass he dwardeles on the ball and it just ends up back wit cech.

We all need to accept this as a possibility , can you honestly see us beating City , and utd twice , the yids have some easy games coming up. What worries me if we do end up in the Channel 5 cup will we be able to attract top players to re build our squad ? or will we end up like Liverpool ? who have their top players brought off them. i would quite honestly dump the fa cup and champions league for a guaranteed top 4 spot.

The system could do with Changeing now. Teams have learnt how to cope with us thats why the goals have dried up. They park the but and counter attack , if we changed the system and trained hard at it and dont tell the press that were going to do it , it would suprise teams we need width the 4-3-3 was great last season we played it well , but Carlo needs to change things before its to late.

Great Game last night , he seems so Confident on the ball , Glad we got him and kept city at bay , he will be one of the best in the future.

We lack the sort of player that can break down a defence. Orginally Lampard would be fantastic at this but after he has come back he has been a shadow of his former self. Im really worried about getting in the top 4 now. I even think if we would have played for another hour we wouldnt have scored.

Tough game and now where playing catch up for fourth

The thing i always get told is "its just a game" i agree with what a lot of you are saying about the circumstances on how we lose , when you have 30 shots on goal and they have 1 off a players arse and it goes in , it can be so frustrating especially when the media is all hate Chelsea. but that’s football i guess. I think the worst defeats are the ones like against Liverpool where we just saw no effort , if i see all players giving 100% effort it really helps if we lose , As it was nice to see Cech and Ivan getting irate with each other because not letting anyone scores i so important to them. My Dad often says why do you care so much they still cash there £100,000 a week in , but id still like to think some of them are playing for the Shirt and not just the money maybe I’m deluded

Hamsik , we need some fresh blood , the only thing is cesc would be the safe bet as he has pl experience , but that face in our shirt..... plus we know it wont happen.
