Bosnian Blue

Manure 1:3 Chelsea Lampard 49' Nani 81' Torres 69' Ramires 88'

Beatiful goal .

First half =shit,second half much better,but still not good enough to win at OT. We need 'super Frankie' on tuesday,not this Frankie. Yossi and Alex played well,nothing extraordinary,but nobody expected that after injuries.Torres had to score but he didn't because he has zero confidence. Can we do it on Tuesday ?

End of story.

I don't think we have OUR style.Carlo has his style,Mourinho has his style,Scolari his,but there isn't a Chelsea style. All our managers adapt the formation and the strategy to the players they have. Now we are playing 4-4-2 cause we have Torres and Drogba,last year we had Malouda and Anelka in magnificient form so we played 4-3-3. The size of the pitch on SB doesn't enable teams to play wide like Barcelona. I think the best formation for Chelsea is 4-2-3-1.Two box to box midfielders,one playmaker,two fast wingers and a strong target man.Right now,we can't play that because guys like Malouda,Essien or Torres are having a difficult time.

We should play: __________________Cech__________ ___________________JT____________ _________________Lampard_________ Kalou_Torres_Drogba_Anelka_Malouda__Lalkovic__Sturridge Or: ______________Cech_____________ __Bane____Bruma____Terry___Bertrand _________Clifford___McEachran____ ____Lalkovic____Lamps___Kakuta___ _____________Sturridge___________

Carlo is afraid of Roman.That's why he makes the Drogba-Anelka sub instead of getting Torres out. It was a penalty,but performance overall was really bad.I listened to Ray Wilkins on TV and he said that he is really disappointed with Chelsea team tonight. Miracles can happen,but us winning at OT-u 0:2 or 1:2 would really be amazing.We have to play the game of our lives and hope that will be enoguh against Manure and UEFA. COME ON CHELSEA !

Boz______Bane________JT________Ash __Ramires____Ess____Lamps___Yuri__ __________Drogba____Torres________ This is the time for Drognando to work.We have to push up,put pressure on their midfielders and defence.Hope that Carlo can rape Sir Red Nose again. Would be happy with any win,even if concede. Really looking forward to the epic QF.

How to make a succesfull sub ? Ramires was one of the best today.Great link-up with Boz on the right.Carlo gets both of them out and keeps Malouda in.Can't fucking believe it ! Mikel was ideal for this match.Torres is useless if he doesn't get couple of through passes,into space. Drogba and Cech were the bright side. Expect a 'we will improve' from Carlo.

Didier Drogba The Great ! Malouda out(again ),Yuri in.Ramires and Boz playing very well on the right side,Drogba fantastic,Nico hmmm...Solid,I would say. Must win !

COME ON CHELSEA !

Happy birthday ! Hope he can keep this form for a long time.

Also think we need Alex to be fit for this one. I was thinking : _____________Cech______________ ___Bane____Alex_____JT_____Luiz__ __Ramires__Ess___Lamps___Yuri___ _________Drogba__Torres_________ We need tall and strong players and good defence,especially defending set pieces( Delap ).On the other end we can use Torres in counter attack because the pitch at Britannia is long and some good passes into space can give him opportunities to finally get his goal.

For me,definitely Bane Ivanovic. Cech has also had a solid season so far,but his mistake against Looserpool could cost us title.Although he did save a late penalty at Fulham.Last season was better for him.

Anyone ?

That is because of the 'Drogba effect'.You saw it on Sunday.He is such an important player for this team,makes a big contribution. Also something I noticed,he runs a lot more,puts pressure on defence,just what we need to score an easy gol(like Anelka's 1st in Copenhagen )and you couldn't have seen that from Drogba in say November or December. Malouda is fighting for his position,but he has to be benched against Stoke simply because Yuri is in this moment the better player.Agree with you about his tiredness.

Same thing about Torres. You can't score when your team plays like City did today.They were awful,just parked the bus and sit back. We lacked creativity again,but fortunately we have David Luiz.Malouda is in a poor form,think he lost his starting XI spot today.Drogba THE KING ! But this victory is very important for the players,now we can rest for 2 weeks.

Dzeko is a fantastic player,our defence must not get complacent against him.Otherwise,he will score.

Feeling great,Shity is going down. COME ON CHELSEA !

Today is the day ! Happy birthday.Lots of goals,no injuries... in the blue shirt.

Hope that Drogba starts with Torres. Don't think they are going to push up or try to dictate the play.An early goal and everything would be lot easier.

Like Obama said : YES,WE CAN ! This is the time for revenge.First ManU,then Inter,and finally Barca. Very important first match,but I don't think we can win it easily.We have to be at our best and we must not concede at the Bridge. Chelsea 2:0 United United 1:1 Chelsea

Also watched the game against Chile,didn't notice him at all.Did he touch the ball ? Big money for a youngster,it is a gamble really.Another Brazilian,soon we're gonna play beach football. Is he AMF or winger ?

Like Petr Cech said few minutes ago:'If you want to win the CL,you have to beat anybody who plays against you'. There are 2 teams I'd like to avoid,Real(because of Jose) and Barcelona(like @zolaeyes said,save them for Wembley).

25 shots,0 goals. We have to be sharper,much more agressive .We lack ideas,I think that even Carlo himself doesn't know what to do. In the quarters everything is possible,but it depends on our team,our form and fitness. This group of players is definitely capable of winning the CL,but they have to be at their best.Right now,they are not.
