He can play alone up top, very easily, but not with our team and our playing style. He's shown he can get off his shot almost everytime he gets the ball, good luck trying to defend against that.

Don't understand some of you guys. Raul isn't first team material but I would definitely keep him as a squad player. I hate saying this more than anyone, but Josh hasn't had even one half decent game with Swansea, he's been very very poor. Essien should be sold. Lamps and Meireles should be squad players. Mikel & Romeu can split DM duties or even play both in the double pivot sometimes maybe. Ramires is def first team. We need to buy at least 1 world class creative mid next season.

Some crunching tackles on Arsenal men's first team in there.

Just send em to the Championship side, at least they'll get some playing time even if its in an inferior league.

Counted him as CB, but you're right. SHIIIIEEETTTTTT!! No need to buy any defenders AT ALL. Just hope Cole and Ryan split more time so it keeps Cole fresh cause he can still hold it down for a year or two. Seriously, our defense is too BEAST right now. Not only are defensive beasts, but they all got goals in em too.

He's improved so much. DUDE IS A BEAST NOW. Hasn't made a mistake in a while and the things he can do on the pitch, I don't think any other CB in the world can. Our defense is fucking SET. Great buy on Cahill too, and I love how passionate all our CBs, always good to see. Just get a beast RB next season and I'll be surprised we concede 1 goal lol

Dude is a BOSS and all the videos you see of Chelsea, he comes as a really cool guy too. Hopefully we keep him at the club in some capacity. I am going to get his name on a jersey .

That was cause he got that red against Swansea and sat out a whole month, which isn't going to happen this time so hopefully he just keeps getting better.

He's had to force himself out to the wings because that's the only way he can keep himself involved in the game. We can't get him any through balls to run onto cause that's just not how our midfield plays, so he's had to play with his back to the goal which he's not good at and usually gets relegated to the bench cause Drogba can do that better. So not until he started doing something that Drogba doesn't and can't do better than him did he start getting more games and better performances.

Nah I don't think Terry handball was a penalty. Those are never given. Essien's was given because his arm was raised way over his head. Terry's were not by his side but still in a natural position which shouldn't be given if he's so close. Handball from a distance, penalty regardless cause you should have got it out of the way. But if it's close range where it isn't humanly possible to react that fast then they look if it's in a natural position or not and Terry's were in a natural position. Should not be penalized for that.

I know there have been many negatives this season, but even when there is a positive staring you right in your face some still keep bringing up the negatives. Knock one off before you watch Chelsea if you're really so bitter all the time.

The only other guy we can play in the hole and still have some success is Meireles.

Obv, one of them is a mistake. Why do you want to make the decision tonight the mistake? Doesn't make sense. If you want to the refs to be consistent, complain about the the Australia penalty, not this one.

THATS RIGHT!!!

4-2-3-1 Cech Ferreira-Luiz-Terry-Cole Meireles-Mikel Ramires-Mata-Kalou Torres I like it, Mikel and Meireles were excellent together in the double pivot against Leicester. There are only 2 ifs for me: Kalou and Meireles. Meireles, I can understand that he provides some extra creativity especially since we have Torres up front, so probably the right choice. Kalou, not so sure, he can dribble a bit and cause problems SOMETIMES but more than often he looses the ball, but I guess he would link up better with Torres than anyone else, but maybe I woulda preferred Malouda.

Still don't get how people made what Drogba did such a huge deal. Just seems so pathetic but then again, I guess you use whatever you can to motivate yourselves. Regardless, the last thing I'd want to do is to piss Drogba off lol.

Our worst case scenario should be a scoring loss by 1 goal. But our defence has been beast of late, so I'm hoping we keep a clean sheet and maybe nick a goal or atleast 1-1 .

I tried becoming a member on CIA but unfortunately registration is closed. Is there any other way I can tag along with those going from Southern Indiana or thereabouts to New York?

Yeah first half he didn't do anything so you didnt miss much. He got more of the ball in the 2nd and always looked dangerous, should have done better with that chance he created for himself on the right foot. The other team were sending 2-3 guys at him every time he got the ball lol. Got subbed off in the 90th minute to a standing ovation.

Not getting a lot of the ball on the right wing, Dijon is going down the left most of the time, but gotta say he's very good at tracking back. Good to see.

haha that was awesome.

Sturridge - Mata - Kakuta Torres Fuck off everyone else, fuck long balls, fuck the slow tempo.

so lucky! i mean her, not the players lol

I don't see what the big deal is. 18M for the kind of potential he has is nothing. Even if he doesn't turn out to be Chelsea quality, he's so young, we can easily sell him for 10-15M in a couple of years. Essentially the opportunity cost is 3M-5M at best. And, if he turns out to realize his potential, well then good luck getting a bid below 50M.

Stadium looks amazing. Dayuuum!
