Bosnian Blue

Fuck, that is gonna be painful. Seeing Didier walking around Stamford Bridge in a shirt that is not royal blue.. Its too much for me.

Paulinho truly is a woeful signing, has been terrible.

Terrible decision. Pretty much like what happened to us last season. Shocking. Come back home, Stevie.

Win at the Emirates and this place will be a whole lot different.

He was facing the ball with his back. I wouldn't call that being in a proper position to react. He needs to find a balance between throwing himself into tackles and being clever sometimes. I've said already, if you could mix him and Cahill you get a wonderful CB.

Only just now saw their goal better.. Mistake by Luiz. If he holds his position and lets Ramires deal with the player on the edge of the box its an easy clearance. Pity really, we shouldn't be conceding at home against Palace. We need more width, Dave is offering very little going forward. IMO Ryan should be given a chance at some point. Have to score a few more in the second half.

Ideally in a game like this I would like to see something new and refreshing: _________________Keeper and back four______________ _____________Ramires___________Oscar_____________ Willian_______________Hazard________________Schürrle ____________________whoever______________________ Anyways, people keep talking about Mata and Oscar, but we haven't tried Eden + Andre + Willian. Think that might work very well actually. All of them can play football, but can run and do the defensive work also.

Yeah, you are probably right but I have to say his comments last night were spot on. Also, I find it strange Glen Hoodle doesn't manage anymore, he seems like a guy who knows a thing or two about this game. We should definitely play Oscar in a deeper role, just try it out. We're that bad that we don't have anything to lose really.

I don't know who the co-commentator at Sky was, but everytime Mikel had the ball this guy criticized him. Sadly he was right, sometimes in games like this one truly finds out how slow, uncreative Mikel is. Someone should explain to the bloke that football is not chess, you can't play every ball safe. Its about taking risks.

Time for some fucking goals, 5:0.

Too boring for me.

Should try him or Oscar in a deeper role.

I would hate to see Didier at Stamford Bridge in a shirt that isn't royal blue Chelsea's. Emotions would be too high.

What an embarassment. I just thought he didn't have the balls to attack Bayern.

Dzeko is City's third-choice striker at the moment, but he's so much better than anyone we have there. Doing a very good job for the team tonight, albeit without a goal so far.

That is true, but there were a lot of rich clubs across the world after him, so I don't think he'd have stayed anyway.

They wanted to get rid of him actually, he would have been off anyway, even if we didn't buy him.

Good, never should have been signed in the first place. May aswell ship him off in January, wouldn't make much of a difference. Not a bad move for him though, Anzhi fell apart but in us he found another club to get big money from, very clever indeed.

Seems like Lamps will play in every game this season, one way or another. Remarkable for him, but not so good for the team.

We would have been second now if it wasn't for his terrible mistake. But that aside, he's lost the ball every time he touched it yesterday. And this is the biggest mistake Jose made = bringing in Eto'o/not bringing in a classy striker Ramires is a bloke I'll never blame for anything, he's one of those guys that always gives his best. This is what I respect no matter what.

If we could win our four league games till 2014, maybe we could be top of the league.

I have very little hope Arsenal will drop points, everything is going their way at the moment.

It was very strange both on Wednesday and today. If you look at their goals: first is a blunder by Cech, what is he doing there I really can't tell, its a lack of concentration. Second one, there is a clear faul by Walters on Dave (who underperformed today but people will still blame Ivanovic probably), after that they have an extra man upfront and its just a wonderful left-footed finish from Ireland. Third one, Eto'o losses the ball (like he did with every single touch today), counter-attack and Assaidi is one on one and scores a beauty that really is difficult to defend against.

triple post sorry

What the fuck was that.. Very strange game. I have to put some blame on Big Pete for this result, I can't help but to think we would have won easily if he didn't make that mistake. Up until then Stoke were nowhere near shooting, let alone scoring. We were in complete control, especially defensively and in set-pieces. After that, everything just went horribly wrong.
