Hold your horses, Torres plays for Chelsea Fc not the other way around. If someone looks bad , its the whole team, down to the physios... and could say fans who can't be realistic and face that no service acutally does mean no goals. There are numerous of goals that Torres has crafted for himself in the past, eg the Blackburn goal out of nowhere. So in that sense Drog isnt that extraordinary. It's just Torres style of play, cant blame him for that, has worked for him in the past. Point being, Rome was not built in a day, neither are we. If we want Torres to blend in properly, the least we can do is not moan like little girls about Torres goals. Team win>Personal glory, always.

Bunch of whiners who expect a hat-trick from Torres every game. Face the reality , no service - no goals. Main thing is that the team wins. Even if Torres scores only 1 gole the whole campaign and we finish in the top 4, I'd be happy, because there is always the next season.

+ 3-1 victory + 3 points above Tottenham + 2 points away from Man City and third place, 1 game in hand (next game is with city) - sloppy play - no torres goal - zhirkov, Drogba were the exact opposites to their displays against manu

Who cares about them? Its us who got 3 points, we aren't supposed to humiliate evey opponent, its not la liga. No service, no goals, easy as that for Torres, it'll come.

Kalou welcome back, continue where u left off, missing sitters. and why is malouda ignoring torres?

Lalalalalalalala fernando torres chelsea number nine, love the way our away support chants..hope torres bags one now

Well done, switch McEachran in

At first i thought it wasnt a penalty but replay shows clear penalty

Lets give Zhirkov time, 45mins too early to judge. Malouda had a season to play and prove himself.. hasn't been a jewel has he?

Hope we get second to calm the nerves

Captain JT

Brave line-up, i like it, would like it even more if we come out with a result that suits us KTBFFH

As much as I'd love to defend him, he has been the worst player of the squad in my eyes. I'd sell him till we can.

I think we only need Sanchez. And only Sturridge and McEachran are ready for first team. Kakuta doesn't even get that much playing time in Fulham, let's not talk about Chelsea. Keep others on loan and let them develope. If we rush theres only a lose-lose situation.

Contract extensions may also indicate that he might not come cheap for potential suitors. A way for a club to say if you want him so badly, cough up

Essien was amazing against Manchester United and the game before that he was near his old self. I'd bench Malouda, Anelka. Start Drog-Torres and Zhirkov in left midfield

We won United, Essien got MOTM. Let's not fix something that isn't broken: 4-4-2 - Cech --- Ivanovic-Luiz-Terry-Cole --- Ramires-Essien-Lampard-Zhirkov --- Torres-Drogba I read that Luiz might have a slight injury so it might be Bosingwa-Ivanovic-Terry-Cole My prediction: 3-1 for Chelsea

Don't go too far with your line-up theories. We just beat Manu with the line-up, give it a bit more faith, will you? Agree on Malouda getting to warm the bench a little bit.

Estonian national team kit. It's a picture from Estonia-Brazil friendly 1,5 years ago. They won 1-0 (Luis Fabiano), also they fielded the strongest side they had. Win or lose, it was a historical moment for Estonian football..

You can't even compare Ancelotti to those managers. All the bull about youth system, get real, Chelsea fights for trophies every year, every throphy. There's a reason there's one Ronaldo, one Messi, one Xavi etc, not everyone is gifted enough to play for top clubs, well not in their teens anyway. If we manage to implement 1-2 youngsters to our ranks next season, namely Sturridge and McEachran then our academy is doing brilliant job. What has Wenger won? Nothing, club is as much about winning as it is ecomonics, there has to be balance. Let's face it some players aren't good enough to even play for Wolves and we need to face it. There's no need to blind foldedly push players through our academy just so we can say ''made by Chelsea'', it'll backlash. The fair play rules won't do much to us, otherwise Roman wouldn't have bought Torres nor Luiz, it'd make no sense. The bookwork has to be clean and it'll be by the time it's needed, just wait and see, it's all formalities. Youth should get playing time if they are up for it physically and mentally and senior players clearly underperform (not just one game, but continous piss take on the pitch) and of course the 'non-important' last stage group matches of CL if we've secured the place in the play offs, perhaps FA Cup, Carling Cup.

I agree aswell, even if he hadn't earned the penalty, the volley shot which went through Vidic's legs and off the post was enough to convince me, also his dribble is alot faster, passes are better. Defo starter for me

Think I've watched Luiz's goal for atleast 25 times, every time is like the first one. ABSOLUTELY love the celebration, defenition of passion right there. Mikel isn't injured as far as I know, only Benayoun (back in training) and Alex (no info about him)

<span style="color: rgb(63, 67, 73);">Cech - 6.5 <br> Ivanovic - 6.5 - Great assist for Luiz, defensively average tonight<br> David Luiz - 8.5 - MOTM<br> Terry - 7<br> Cole - 7 - Ran up and down that flank all night, great to see him playing with passion<br> <br> Ramires - 8 - Absolute warrior, keep it up<br> Essien - 6.5<br> Lampard - 7<br> Malouda - 3 - Should have scored, poor attitude, poor vision and distribution<br> <br> Anelka - 4<br> Torres - 6.5 - Didn't score but can't come much closer - a disallowed goal which really could easily be allowed, great dribble and wanted to play, wanted to pass and shoot, improving every day<br> <br> Zhirkov - 7 - Impact was amazing, earned penalty, hunger<br> Drogba - 7 - Like the commentator said "That's one angry man right there", full of motivation, showed passion and GREAT ball control. Urged his team mates from the sidelines, communicated with fans to make more noise, brilliant Drogba. That's who we've been missing aswell. Torres-Drogba back on agenda<br><br><br><br>Conclusion: Torres-Drogba start, Zhirkov to start<br></span>

Must admit that but who cares? Hope them red cunts remember the feeling of being ripped off next time they come trolling. KTBFFH Suddenly third place is ours for the taking. Blackpool away, they are without Charlie Adams and DJ Campbell (their top scorer)

All of the players were good except Anelka and Malouda tonight. Drogba-Torres might work after all if Drogba and Torres start working as a TEAM not as COMPETITORS
