Bosnian Blue

I think we were more solid and compact, especially on the ball. After Lampard got injured our passing was worse and players weren't focused. I personally feel that detail affected the game-plan because Ramires had to change his position and there is a reason why Robbie set him on the right. You saw that later on when Bane lacked protection and help from his partner on that side.

Two details changed the game. First one is an early goal, really stupid goal to concede and the second is Frankie's injury. Our game-plan and strategy had to be completely altered.

Fuck, now it's getting even more complicated. Next game is absolutely huuuuuuge.

Two words: Edin. Dzeko.

What a team !

Because their coach is an idiot, that's why. Not an injury, you guys can relax.

Easy 3-0 win vs Lithuania. Miralem Pjanic with an absolutely brilliant performance, it was a beauty to watch. We're back to winning ways, joint top as Greece won their game too against Slovakia in Bratislava. Gonna be really tight til the end. Next match could be crucial though, Greeks are coming to Zenica. Can't wait. On the other hand, disgraceful scenes in Serbia. U-21's game between Serbia and England ended like this: Animals.

Most of the time he is the best player on the pitch for us, one who stands out, scores goals but also helps in build-up play. Pure class. Tonight though, and it does happen sometimes to him (usually end of May, when the season ends), his performance was disappointing. Have to give credit to Greece' defenders who put him in their pockets. Our fans always expect huge things from Edin, but today wasn't his day, partly due to lack of service too. Anyways, still top of the group even if level on points with Greece & Slovakia.

Bearing in mind we actually played with 7 or 8 players against the Greeks in Piraeus (our attacking players completely disappeared for 90 minutes) one can only take this 0-0 draw with satisfaction and move on. Next up Lithuania, a must-win game.

That's true. Greece is not a bad team but nowhere near a footballing force or something. I just got a cheeky little feeling we might win in Athens. This group is our biggest chance ever and we have to be top of it. Thanks for the nice wishes. I admire the England fans, having a 90k stadium full against San Marino proves how much football is loved over there. Beautiful.

After two comfortable wins in September we now face the toughest test in the group - Greece away. Have a really bad record against the Greeks, they always are difficult to play against. Both teams have some players out injured and Pjanic, who is one of our crucial players, is amongst them. After that it's Lithuania at home. That is a game we should be winning without any problems, but you never know. Fingers crossed for all the Chelsea players, hopefully everyone's fit and ready in 7 days time.

This talk is getting annoying...

Actually it was his right foot, check the Eurosport logo in the corner (it's the mirror effect ). But his left isn't that bad either.

A Chelsea legend.

Mate do you have this pic, only bigger ? I'd be very grateful.

No, he's just inexperienced at the highest level. Croatian league is shit, you cannot just walk into CL and feel comfortable coming from that league. I feel sorry for him, but there is enough time to learn. Thank God it didn't affect the result and our win.

The only thing I gave a fuck tonight was 3 points. And we got them. Move on.

Just stay focused and score some goals to kill the game.

Super Frankie to score.

Wonderful story. Great club, great players, great fans.

Thanks everybody for help, appreciate it. The article has been written some time ago, but it's in Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian/Montenegrin. Anyways here it is: http://www.chelseaba...ockoj-kisi.html

Should get 1-year contract with an option to extend automatically for another year if everything is ok (no injuries).

This game will show the quality of the whole squad. And to look back this time last year we didn't have a proper starting line-up...

Great game, but one just has a feeling AVB's team is gonna bottle it.
