The overreaction to this whole debacle is bloody ridiculous. Yes, he's a fat, Spanish, waiter and yes, he said something ages ago when there was a bit of a mini-rivalry between Chelsea and Liverpool; but he's also got a pretty good CV, uses our preferred 4-2-3-1 formation and -- from what everyone else seems to say -- is a pretty good tactician. RDM was, and always will be, in Chelsea fans hearts, but we need to get over it. Let's just support the team and hope Rafa can get the best out of the insanely talented squad of players we have. BOOM! =)

Waiter, waiter.... I'll have one premier league, one FA cup, a league cup and a side of Torres scoring goals please.

Looks like we won't be signing any world class strikers in January then. More Torres for the win.

God damn Spanish waiter? Fucks sake =(.

It has to be Pep; we wouldn't sack RDM if it wasn't Pep. No way would we take Grant or Rafa over RDM.

Look at Arsenal.... what have they won in the last 10 years?

It better not be Benitez... poor RDM =(.

That team is so built for the counter. This could be a long night.

How does a false 9 work on the 4-2-3-1? Thought the whole point of the false 9 was that they dropped deep and moved around. How does that work with someone playing in-behind them?

I think you all need to chill out. It was just a prank; Luiz is known for being a prankster do it's not like he will really care. Thought it was funny myself =p.

He got rid of those player's due to either 1: them now sucking (Ronaldinho, Deco) or 2: not fitting his system (Eto'o, Ibrahimovic).

You're a douche bag. That is all.

Good to see people are overreacting as normal. Usual Talkchelsea idiocy has resumed. I'd imagine RDM is under instruction to play Torres no matter what. From what we've heard on the grape vine Torres has been guaranteed to be our number 1 striker, so RDM can't justs go dropping him and we all know how much of a drama queen Torres is if he gets subbed off after 60 minutes. We're stuck with Torres for the next 3 years, no doubt about that. No one will want him now. It's just whether or not we can afford to bring another top striker with our wage structure as it is.

We need a finisher. Really badly.

Not the end of the world. Annoying though!

RvP ripped him a new arsehole for that second goal. Didn't have a clue where he went.

He looks distinctly average in that video. Haha.

Torres was god awful today. Yuck.

Shaktar pressed us real hard the whole game. Their work rate was crazy.

Don't Juvenths have to play Shaktar away from home yet? If we want to top the group, we want a draw from that game.

Torres has been pretty bad today, has to be said.

That Willian lad is pretty good isn't he? =P

I'd prefer it if the thread title actually, you know... told me something about what the thread was about.

He doesn't shoot enough now; he would never have taken that shot while playing for Chelsea.
