Merieles, Luiz and Cole I believe

I think it's because before the pressure was ALWAYS on JUST HIM, but since our recent disappointments and team failures, he's been overlooked and he doesn't feel to much pressure. And with our "stars" like Lampard and Cole playing terribly, he's found the chance to really prove a point.

Luiz, Cole, Mikel were the star performers for me to be honest, with Torres just behind. Best thing is the whole team played so well and executed the perfect gameplay (minus Mata). Really think we could have got 2/3 goals though! But not gonna complain with a 1-0 win

Might be a bit pessimistic here but even if we do win this game, we'll still be 2 points behind Tottenham, they only "hard" game of any sorts they have left is Villa away, all the others they would be expected to win. Arsenal's fixture list isn't too shabby either, they got both City and us at home, which will likely be draws, then all other easy matches. We will still be behind and have to play Arsenal away and Liverpool away (we all know how shit we are at Anfield) ... Just don't want to give to much hope IF we win, it'll still be very much against us. But believe.

He's a racist, a diver, and a cheat. I don't think you can get much worse in football. In my opinion the biggest c**t in the world of football, and that's including Busquets and Alves! Has such a punchable face too!

Ahhhhh couldn't watch this match cos of work anyone got highlights?!

Ivanovic x 2, Cahill and Terry have had our best chances. Oh lord we need a goal scorer

That's a weird ass substitution

Ivanovic and Mikel are having cracking games. Drogba needs to get off the pitch

Anyone else having to deal with this fucking annoying twat of a commentator on Fox Soccer? He seems to believe he is a God of football

Midfield is too narrow, ramires is finding is hard to not play inside more and kalou loves to cut it on the right. midfields over crowded and too many mistakes are made

I was contemplating going to Birmingham match and boo'ing Cole and Lampard. But what's the point? They won't listen, the board don't give two shits about the fans. As long as their income is high enough. There's no heart left in the team

Has anyone got the quote from AVB saying Mata will now be deployed in #10 role?

Gerrard gets attention for being a big fish in a small pond, he stands out amongst the likes of Skrtel, Henderson, Maxi Rodriguez etc. Lampard has shone even when competing in a team full of world class superstars for countless numbers of years. His superiority in goals and assists is just the tip of the iceberg as to why Lampard is a better player than Gerrard.

Sorry I'm late but where the fuck is Lukaku? And why is Mata/Sturridge playing again at least one of them should start on the bench and be rested.

It's ridiculous. We're 10mins into a game, away from home, who are known for keeping possession and you whine. Pathetic. Further, it's clear we've tried to make a few big signings which were the right ones but they haven't come into fruition as of yet. And what makes you think signing Lucas/Hazard/Willian etc would make us have more possession in the opening 10mins of an away game?!

Oh shut the fuck up please

A young, confident striker in our team who now feels important and established enough to try and score more for the team and take responsibility rather than giving someone else the duty. I think quite the opposite

The sooner we can get a right winger, the sooner we can play 4-2-3-1, which, given our players, is the only way any transition is going to occur. 4-3-3 with the players we have is horrid, just disgusting.

Ouch, my eyes.

Oh dear Lord. A few good games and suddenly he's Chelsea quality? Rate him as a good player for a Europa League team at best, common now seriously, how can we go from discussing a possible transfer for Hazard to Sessegnon. Wow.

It's ridiculous how Ashley Cole is still in the starting 11. He's so bloody past it - all the chances for Norwich has come through their left.

ridiculous ridiculous ridiculous ridiculous. pretty much gone and confirmed he has no future in the club with that waste of a loan.

For Fucks Sake. Bosingwa needs to be out after last weeks defending. Cole hasn't been near his best for a long time now. Big reason being his age and he doesn't have the energy to play every game yet we still play him when we have Bertrand. McEachran I need to say nothing about we all know his talent, not starting him is a joke. Mata - if he gets injured in this match, how fucked are we for the rest of the season? What's the point in risking that, bring throught Lalkovic. Torres - okay he needs time/games etc, but he's gonna get plenty this month with Drogba gone, why not play Lukaku get a bit of competition in the team cos if Torres cos off injured we've got no fit strikers for a month. AGHHHHH

Suicide seems like a good option right about now.
