Shit...

Now cech injured...

Good play, Sturridge just uncontrolled it, unlucky.

good defending by Alex again, but our defense are just standing there.

We should be defending much better..

Sturridge always goes for the shot.

fulham should of scored there... we got lucky.

Sad..sad day.

Hey, Welcome.

Torres for me. I'm kind of surprised that Ramires has been voted a few times, i thought he did okay, the only thing that was positive from him was his pace and engine, but he needs to work on his control and passing.

I don't think it's arrogance, maybe it's for good luck, who knows. Personally i have no problem with it.

I'm still a bit worried about our defense, looks very shaky, and all over the place. But i have to say i'm loving the fact that we are more attacking, i'm not happy about the scoreline, but at least we tried to play decent football. Although this match may of came too soon, but i think we and AVB can take a lot out of this match.

I don't know what happened to our defense, they were shocking. So shaky. Sturridge didn't play well either, i think he may just be adapting to his new role. Ramires played alright, he needs to work on his passing and control, other then that, he did well i guess. Lampard didn't get into the game, he was so slow on the ball and just messed up the tempo. It was sad seeing him being subbed off, because he is a legend, but it was right for the team, and i applaud AVB for doing it. Meireles for me didn't have a good game, he was struggling playing as a DM. I think he has to be playing further up the pitch. Torres played well, especially in the second half. Scored a fantastic goal. He did miss an open goal, but he should dwell on it too much, it can happen to anyone. Mata performed well, but he went missing sometimes during the game. I think he wasn't used to the pace of the game. Anelka is like our super sub now, he played well, nice pass to Torres for his goal, although he did begin to slow the game down towards the end. Overall, it was a good match to watch, end to end stuff. There are many positives we can take out of this game, and some negatives, like our defense and how open we are. The scoreline seems like Man u ripped us apart, but that wasn't the case, anyone could of won that game. I'm surprisingly not upset by this loss, I'm far from happy, but there are many positives and negatives to take away from this game.

It's funny that Torres plays his best game, once people actually start putting him through on goal. That's all he need people to put him through.

I think people are making a big deal about his confidence, yes he missed a chance, but he will probably be more eager to try and score now. He played well today, and he scored. Rooney missed some good chances but i bet the media wont talk about that.

How can someone say Messi without Xavi and Iniesta is nothing, do they help him dribble past players or something? jesus christ. This video is great, it's his top 70 goals.

Good match, Mata played well again, he's been our best player as of late. Luiz played well, nice goal from him, but he needs to learn how to read the game better. But that will come with experience i guess. Meireles done a few decent passes, iv'e been very impressed by him, very good buy in my opinion. Sturridge is showing us and the manager why he should start more often, he was very composed on the ball, and done a few good passes. Torres played good, but that's all. I won't go overboard with him, he did have two assists, but i think he should of scored at least one goal in this match. But i was very impressed when in the last minute instead of shooting he decided to set up mata. Ashley cole, and Cech had great games as usual. Boswinga played good, but he most definitely needs to work on his crosses. Lampard played good as well, didn't do anything amazing, but didn't do anything bad either. Ivanovic was solid at the back as well. Mikel played good, he hardly ever lost the ball, and he did some good passes. Overall, it was a good game and a good performance from us. It's good that we're are trying to keep the ball on the ground and play some nice football, every game i can see signs of improvements in the way we play and preform. I cannot wait for the Man united game, hopefully we can prove all these doubters wrong.

Half time, played well, without creating much.

Nice shot by sturridge, playing very well.

Mata with another good cross to Torres.

so close

Come on Chelsea!!

We stopped an hour before you wrote this, so there's no point on even commenting on it. Sorry for being off-topic.

I'm not disputing that, but last season he was still playing for Liverpool, and played the same as he is now. Sure, he scored some goals, but he still wasn't the Torres of 2008-09.

Yes, clearly...
