Tomo

He is staying for this season, lets be honest no one will match his wages. Plus is it really a bad thing? it will say a lot about our squad that we can have a potential injury crisis and still have a player like this to come into the 18.

Mata should go and jet off somewhere for the next 2 weeks, relax and do nothing apart from sleep and chill out on the beach

Ive got a mate's birthday so im missing this one

He just gave away a penalty

I think this will be the season we need Lampard's experience more than ever. It's all good signing these great young players like Hazard, Marin, Oscar and now Moses but we will need a leader alongside them and that will be Lamps.

Arsenal have pulled the plug on getting Sahin on loan, only Liverpool are interested at the moment. Time to pounce!!

We need to get whoever wrote this piece of shit infront of Gigi

The same was said about Duff and Robben once upon a time.

As yesterday showed their is no real need for Mikel and Lampard in the 2 in the "lesser games", in future i would like to see Ramires there with one of them too. Hazard, Oscar and Mata with Ramires running from the pivot But this however is not one of those so we can't make too many changes, Danny for Nando but apart from that same again.

come on, it doesn't Mata

one of the moves he use to do every other week with Liverpool, why has it taken 18 months for us

and on the flip side if it was Kalou?

R.I.P

I swear journalism gets worse every time i read it The only way David will leave is if he wants to go (which is hugely unlikely) and if that's the case we demand top dollar (over £35m) and use that same money to get another world class centre half in. It won't come to that however.

Also one thing that has been overlooked. Robbie's substitution's were spot on, the best set of sub's i have seen a Chelsea manager make for a while in the timing and the context of the match.

This was one of those games where even at 2-1 down at half time i said to my mate (who was screwing) what you worrying for? we won't loose we have been playing good just been sucker punched, nothing more. Some of those games come where you just know your win even when loosing, the 5-1 win over Bolton when we were 1-0 down at HT another obvious example in my mind.

Ok you win. Torres is better than Messi, Winston Bogarde made Maldini look shite, infact while i think of it Petit played a lot like Xavi when he played for us and Chris Sutton? fuck me he put Fat Ronaldo in the shade.

Oh are you serious? look back at this time last year i was one of Torres's biggest backers, i thought with Mata coming in, a full close season off and more settling into London surrounding's he would come good, i was patient through 10 months of shite displays and lack of goals, it wasn't until the Arsenal and Blackburn matches i started to have my doubts. and yes out of the two Danny is number 1 for me until Torres proves otherwise with displays on the pitch for me. Danny when he has bad games still tries to make something happen, Torres just hides, the Arsenal 5-3 game is the prime example. His goal today was one of those famous "lucky tap in's", had that been Kalou instead of Torres his player profile would be flooded of comments about how shit and lucky he is.

Until Torres proves himself otherwise Danny is first choice forward. Enough is enough, if Robbie keeps faith like this it will cost him his job.

On the assumption we don't sign another forward, on the evidence off tonight and most of last season, Danny is number 1.

My bad i got mixed up with Torres against City 5 in 3 then

5 assist's in 2 games

Don't like this lineup. Lampard and Mata will be burnt out by the Newcastle game.

Imagine if we were in a dream all summer and this was the team tonight -------------------------Cech----------------------------- Paulo---------Alex----------Terry----------------Cole --------Essien-------Mikel----------Lampard--------- Anelka------------------------------------------Malouda -----------------------Kalou----------------------------

There inlies the problem, whenever Frank and Didier were dropped they did everything possible to force their way back in the team, Torres just ends up back in his shell.
