It's not like Sturridge will tear defences apart himself, but at least he will have a good reason to not pass to a wide open teammate and take shots from impossible angles...

The only thing they can complain about is the offside goal (that fan talking about penalty and fluke goal is just being an idiot) and it's fair enough really, we would have done the same if it was the other way around. But it's not our fault, it's the linesman that let it stand, so blame him

What do you mean by a Kalou option?

Yeah Anelka was a good finisher, was always calm and composed. Actually given Anelka's past record you would expect him to be the one crying all over the place to play as main striker. I know Sturridge wants to play as main striker, but realistically he will get much less playing time there than he would on the right. And if we get another striker it will only make it more difficult for him to play there.

Ramires should start because Ivanovic's defending in the last couple games has not been good, and we will need him to track back and help against Santon and Gutierrez. The last game we lost at home to Newcastle i remember them having a lot of joy down the flanks, and we need to avoid a repeat of that. Hazard should play on the left, he works hard even without the ball and Mata or Oscar in the middle behind Torres.

Lol, he's going to see El Clasico.

Anelka is a natural striker, but could do a job on the right and did so very well for us.

SSN says no bid was made.

Sigh, obvious exaggeration. Here is the goal http://www.golofans.com/chelsea-vs-sunderland-1-0-lampard-goal/5642/ The atmosphere did not change, some people were obviously gutted for Torres because it was a superb strike, but it's a Chelsea goal none the less and many cheered.

It's only normal to complain when decisions don't go your way, even Man utd fans complain about refs

I hope after the window is closed (assuming we sign a couple more players) and everyone is fit, we will see less and less of Ramires on the wings.

He wasn't that bad, he had some good moments and some not so good ones. But he was lively and surely looked more interested than against Wigan. Also, i don't think the formation is too much of a problem, but we should limit the amount of times we hoof the ball up to him. He wins like 2 out of 10 of those, and that just resorts to loss of possession.

He has been very poor defensively the past 2 games. It's great he scored 2 goals, but i'm more concerned with him allowing opposing wingers to constantly get past him.

I honestly felt the same.

Sturridge is a good player for us on the right, don't know why he has to keep crying to play as striker. Look at Hazard, he said his preferred role is as a no 10 but will play anywhere for the team. We need that type of attitude from Sturridge.

Torres didn't play well, not by any stretch, but he was there and scored the winner for us. So i'm not going to slate him. I know it was offside, but not his fault the linesman didn't call it.

Great comeback spoiled by a stupid offside goal, regardless i'm happy, we normally don't come back very often in the league these days.

Ivanovic getting beat every time.

Very nice build up, shame it was offside.

YESSSSSSSSSSSS

Cahilllllllllll

Wow Cole can't do anything right.

Unbelievable turnaround, we were totally bossing the game and all of a sudden they score 2 in 4 minutes. Ramires should come off for Oscar.
