What sad about all this is that we're gonna see the same starting lineup next game and for too many games ahead...

I dont want us to play boring football, even if we win by lets say 1-0 or 2-0. I want to see what we are capable of. FFS we are wasting talent with the likes of Danny, Oscar and Romeu on the bench...

Dream-scenario: Cech Iva - Cahill - Terry(Luiz) - Cole Ramires - Mikel Moses - Sturridge - Hazard Torres When we lead by 2-0, bring on Bertrand for Hazard and Romeu for Moses (and move Ramires to RW).

He wont.

We musnt'nt be afraid! id be happy to see lamps, mikel and ramires start...IF we go for a 4-3-3. Ill be much worried if we use the formation we've used too much with lamps and mikel and then ramires as RW.

Whatever starting 11 we go with there are some things (according to me) that just HAVE to happen: 1) Win comfortable (2-0, 3-1) 2) Moses and Romeu SHOULD be given a decent ammount of playtime. At least one of them is a must. 3) Sturridge has to play 10-15mins as CF.

He wont go anywhere, not for a few more years.

Ramires can be quite good there. Imagine Mikel or Romeu+Ramires, where obviousley Mikel and Romeu are the more defensive ones, with Ramires putting speed to the counter-attack. Ramires is also good for breaking through the oppositions midfield. A formation like this could be quite good: Cech Iva - Cahill - Terry - Cole Mikel Ramires - Oscar Mata -----------------Hazard Torres And regarding Romeu, with Essien and Meireles gone, SURELY he will be given playtime. Mikel wont play every single game, and when he needs a rest or gets injured, whos gonna step in?

Perhaps he should start scoring more goals than our defenders before talking too much?

Thank God.

This could be awesome news. Perhaps we will be using Ramires in the double pivot but maybe even better, Romeu is back(?). If so, selling Meireles is a good option. LOANING Essien out tho is a very wierd decision. I would understand if he was sold, but loaned? Why?

Mata wont be on the wing that much tho. That type of formation will prolly be more effective with Moses as RW since Mata drifts in central alot.

What did he do?

Id like to see: Cech Iva - Cahill - Luiz - Bertrand Mikel - Meireles Oscar Mata - Hazard Torres Moses in for Mata or Oscar in the 70th. Romeu on for Meireles in the 75th. Sturridge on for Torres in the 75th

Please elaborate.

Hmm. seems Anelka has been released too. Pool fans have gone crazy thinking they have a chance of getting him (Drogba) lol

What? Why?

Whats not true? That its not just about the service that Falcao gets but also the kind of player he is? His movement, creativity, being at the right place at the right time etc? Comparing him to Torres and just say "look at the service Falcao gets" is dumb.

Its not just about the service Falcao gets, he creates much himself. The 2nd goal was on him. Plus he is alot more creative in his mind, runs more etc.

Are you struggling to see the importance of the double pivot and defensive midfielders? Its not all on the CB's. And they might not be world class (yet), but they are VERY FAR from being terrible and average.

They might not have performed well last night, but they are all VERY FAR from terrible and average. With Cahill, Luiz and Terry as CB I think he have one of the best CB's. Also we got Cesar now since Iva isnt that quick so against some teams he will be prefered. At LB we got Cole who I still believe (most of the time) is one of the best LB's. Plus Bertrand who is very promising. Our defenders are ok. The double pivot however is not.

We dont. We need to sort the double pivot.

I hope this game was a wake up call for RDM, mostly that Ramires cant be used at the RW and that our double pivot is worrying. Oscar, Moses, Cesar: These guys have to be given playtime asap and establish themselfes in the team. They will be VITAL to us. Marin: Obviousley the same when he recovered. Romeu: Whats going on with this guy? Obviousley we kept him this transfer window, so I hope he will be playing asap. Cech Iva - Cahill - Terry - Cole Romeu - Oscar Moses - Mata - Hazard Torres Perhaps Im abit optimistic about the double pivot, could be Ramires+Mikel also. And Oscar might just be used as CAM. I have faith that when those players are established in the team, we will start seeing some more magic.

Ive said it before, and Ill say it again. Luiz is more of a DM than a CB, and last night was proof of that again.

Take a fucking chill pill. Last night I was drunk and pissed off. I still stand by the fact that it was an embarresement though. And dont you even dare call me a joke fan. Ive been supporting Chelsea since 1999 (I was 11 years old at that time)
