Tomo

you've been great for the last couple of months and done yourself proud mate Its a shame you didn't get a win for your last match at the Bridge, will look forward to your next visit to the UK

We should have gone for him at Wigan, Utd would never sell to us.

Good pictures Steve

Coyle would be another Roy Hodgsdon.

Its no secret that we need to go back to the Robben and Duff days of 2 natural wingers and while we will most likely bring in a Mata as our Robben or even Robben himself, i thought this lad could be our modern day Damien Duff. I got the idea after seeing this well wrote thread http://www.chelsea.v...le.asp?a=523279 He is fast, aint afraid to take players on (which is more than can be said for some of our current players) and nearly went to Birmingham for £9 million in January and as the author of the above article said, entering the last year of his contract and with Wigan's possible relegation (all though i personally think there stay up now) we could possibly get a bargain here at around £5-7m. thoughts?

Judging by that vid, id say he is right footed but can use his left, would love it if Conor made it with us has big game player written all over him.

Just imagine if we went in this game needing a win to get 4th?

Good review, Taylor's goal was gut wrenching at the time but Arsenal's result means we will be laughing at that later

Evening Blues 4 months ago poor Vincent (on this forum) got diagnosed with leukemia, i think it was a shock to all of us and he has had nothing but support from every one here on talk chelsea. But i am pretty worried, he has not posted on his twitter since April 24th and has not posted on talkchelsea since April 16th, all i can say is that i hope to god he is ok and either recovered or well on the road to recovery.

Cech Ferreira (potential farewell) Luiz Terry Bertrand McEachran Ramires Lampard Kalou Drogba Yuri Thank fuck there is nothing riding on this game because i cant see us winning for shit.

If thats the case can i put my name forward after all?

We owe Darren bent BIG TIME. He is turning into the new Drogba when it comes to scoring against Arsenal

Exactly and with a consistent run of games he will makes less and less mistakes.

Ive tried to think of a reason as to why Josh McEachran shouldn't play and (despite his age) i cannot honestly think of one. He is a natural creative player who has looked more than comfortable whenever selected for a 1st team match, some of the passes he made today were absolutely mind boggling and a fair few times this season he had outplayed our well fed (sorry international) superstars. When he was off today we looked static in the midfield and made constant sideways and backwards passes and didn't look creating anything for the forwards. However when josh was on it was a different story, and i don't care about his age, he has been superb nearly every time he has played this season and a run of games next term will only improve him even more. Next week at Everton he should start also as it will give him experience infront of a Partizan crowd. Age should not matter if you are ready to play you should be played, Josh is better than Obi was at the same age when he was getting regular games under Jose. Next season Josh should become a regular.

This has worked out better than both of us winning

Alex made a mistake for the 1st free kick that led to the toon goal, but he didnt scapegoat Alex.

getting relegated wont help his development 1 bit and mark my words atleast 2 of the promoted teams this season will go down. The current QPR team aint strong enough for the top flight and back to back promo's will catch up with Norwich. Cant see any-one bar Reading out of the play off teams giving the prem that good a crack either. I got relegated once and it was horrible and ive never been the same (football wise) since and that was only sunday league, dont want a relegation of Josh's CV as a teenager it will cripple him.

well if he is nervous he hardly ever shows it

Malouda, Anelka (sorry Nicola), Bosingwa OUT Mata, Sanchez, a new RB and Neymar IN Lampard and Essien LESSER ROLE McEachran and Sturridge EXTENDED ROLE

Id say Conor Clifford was more of a Gerrard than Josh.

Josh is young, in-experienced but im struggling to justify him not playing regually. He was creating good moves when he was on it was the forwards that were fucking up all the time, i don't care if he is 18 he is ready for first team football and without hi today our midfield looked so pedestrian it was a joke, so Carlo stop beating around the bush and just fucking play him.

His worst performace yet but please keep the faith Nicolas Anelka Bran Ivan Ramires Ashley Cole Florent Malouda All them were abysmal when they started for Chelsea, did we press the panic button with them? no and we have (or are) reaping the rewards.

The most annoying thing is NO URGENCY, we should have been penning Newcastle back and not given them room instead its sideways, backwards constantly WHAT THE FUCK. With Josh on it looked like we could create stuff but with him off we looked so pedestrian it was scary, he is young, in-experienced but im still struggling to justify not playing him. Carlo next season play Josh, get the team playing at a higher tempo and more URGENCY and get in 2 wingers.

Josh should be playing further forward
