The Rising Sun

It was Kalou..... If AVB subs Lampard at 35 minutes EVER....all hell will break loose. Lampard keeps his disgruntlement to a minimum when he is subbed late or introduced late in the game, but if he was to be subbed at 35 mins, he will be humiliated and will definitely react badly, whether publicly or internally. Who else can he sub anyways? Not mata, Ramires,Defense x 4 , Sturridge, Lampard, Torres(no replacement) Only Meireles maybe for Josh or Romeu.

QPRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!! KILL THEM,

I'm sure he is.... But the real experience of playing in stadiums with pressure and more importantly, playing every week in matches that bear more importance. In training, he is kind of learning theory, whereas practical knowledge will only come when he plays. Josh should have been loaned. Why dont we produce more top notch players? our scouts must be horrible.

Our youngsters arent good enough for High level football.... The only way for them to step up is to play week in week out at another club, then come back and perform at Chelsea. Even Josh needs to build his strength, creativity and drive .... at another club with a loan spell asap. We are the worst club EVER in terms of Youth Talent management. So sad that while we could have been recalling lukaku and Josh from their respective loaned clubs, knowing that they played at the highest level for half the season to USE them for Chelsea, instead they warmed the benches and kept training for a moment that never came,,,, and if they arent loaned out for the remainder of this season, They might as well retire.

Im sure Hulk would have known that he would soon want to play for a big club, where his salary would anyways be super huge... So for a salary increase for the short term, he made sure no one can afford to buy him. Any big club can offer him a big salary,,,,more than he will be getting at porto. But now no one can afford to buy him.

Hulk is a stupid player. If he wanted to play in a big club anytime in the next 4 years, he shouldnt have signed a contract extension that made his sale value 90 million quid.

Mata is on 60k a week. Gary cahill cannot be paid more than Mata. Wonder how mata will feel knowing that if he was a cunt and "negotiated" then he couldve got 100k a week.

Lampard should not be disrespected in any way....by fans or manager... He should still play regularly.... just as long as he speeds up his game a bit....age does that to footballers but its not something a midfielder cannot overcome.... He doesnt need to run his lungs off....just pass a bit faster;;;; A little more like ramires and a bit less like Mikel... Otherwise he is class and should remain in the spine of our team atleast till next season,,,,then re assess where he is at. BUT....if we have to change our style of play... We need space in midfield for another player.... Catch 22

Instead of dropping lampard, a player who does score quite a bit.... Why doesnt AVB try and change Lampards game a bit to suit this stage of his career...and the team? The only problem with lampard is that he doesnt make those defense splitting balls as often as before and many times slows the game down... He cant make those defense splitting balls anymore simply because his first reaction is to take one too many touches and slow the game down.... So AVB should figure out a way to make Lampard remember the quick passing he used to do....That will do wonders for Lampard over the 90 minutes and will earn him back a regular starting position. Like it or not, he bleeds blue and his heart beats blue. There is no other Chelsea player on the pitch other than terry who has as much passion as Lamps does. AVB justs needs to get the best out of him, not by dropping him, but by helping him rejuvenate to the old Lampard. That is what any coach in the world should know how to do.

Really liked this quote from one of the reports online.... "It turned out to be Lampard's day, no doubt about that, and if it was the case that he was reluctant to celebrate with his manager at the end then so be it. Villas-Boas is trying to shake it up at Chelsea and even after that goal, Lampard knows there is no guarantee he will be in the team to play Portsmouth in the FA Cup on Sunday." AVB is out of his depth, we can only hope he can learn to swim with the current bunch of players he has for this season and make top 3-4 , or this january he gets the money to buy a motorboat to speed up the process. Lampard and AVB do have issues, that is almost a fact.... but he had to be reduced from a 90 minute player at some point in his career.....he obviously does not like it and will have some ill feeling towards AVB, any human being would have. I am a little concerned about the stories going on about a rift in the squad..... the story might be media hyped , but does have undertones of the truth somewhere there.... AVB has made alot of big decisions, some correct, some a bit arrogant, and sidelined the 'Player Power' legends of the club.... That is of some concern... AVB will either stand up and be counted in the next month before The united game, or will fall.... We have 4 easy games... Portsmouth ( if Youngsters lose, thats ok) then sunderland, norwich and swansea,,,, but 9 points from these 3 games is a must,.,,, last month we screwed up and had a 'bad moment'.... We let it go blamed players manager bad luck and everything else.... If we cant convert these 3 games into 9 points, then AVB needs to do some real thinking of what is really wrong, and if it is the players, then maybe try a different method towards training and communicating with them. KTBFFH. Lets move forward!

Shit,,,, I Passed out of Lancaster University only a couple of years back. Sad day.

Lucky to steal the win right in the end.... Almost screwed it up again. Cannot imagine if we did not score the winner what the general feeling would be... Still feel our pace and passing is too pedestrian most of the time... Our possession has no cutting edge... In my opinion we can not create any real chances simply because we play too narrow... We desperately need quick out and wingers,,, Speed is the key,,,, If a winger is going crazy running fast with the ball, that will force the other players to bust their guts to get ahead... ATM there is no one doing that, so everyone plays at the same pace.... That makes us very one dimensional and other teams can cope with us, and score a goal eventually.... But when Ramires goes on one of his pacy runs, have you noticed that NO ONE runs and tries to get in there?? He is always forced to shoot or play back. Mata is creative, but is losing his pace and urgency.... maybe he needs a game off to rest....he has played every game since he came....that is alot of game time without a break....It will help him.... Buy a pacy winger,,,,If AVB buys a skillful winger who doesnt have pace,,,,that will be a FAIL. we need pace ....for the teams sake.... Torres is good but sulks too much,,,,thats the only thing i dont like about him.... He had a good game tho.... Bosingwa out. He has simply got to go. Our defense will never regain confidence till he practices and plays with them. Glad to see alot of the deadwood out.... not even on the bench. Next 3 games vital. If we get 9 points i think the gap to 1st should reduce to maybe 7 points or so..... That should motivate players towards the title and change the current mindset of top 4, which is a substandard ambition.... Even though we might not realistically be challenging fo r the title, the urgency will only come if the players are thinking about closing the gap with 1st, rather than 4th. Come on Blues!

another loss or draw coming up. can't see us winning 3 points.,.,.. if they gift us goals then maybe...otherwise not.

Chelsea drop points Liverpool drop points Arsenal Drop points

"The Title is not out of Sight!!"

WE SHOULD SEND AVB ON LOAN!! TO BOLTON! Maybe he can do a sturridge and become the manager he has the potential to become!! also loan all the young players with him to bolton.... develop all of them at bolton and next season might just be ridiculously gooood.

City drew. Lol. Doesnt matter anymore! Liverpool drew...now that matters.,... IMO totenham are too far ahead and they wont drop silly points,,, and even if they do...i feel we will drop more points than them.... So its city united totenham....4th spot between liverpool arsenal and chelsea,,,,

just registered.... waiting to be approved..( i tthink)

For the time being, Yes. Players are playing worse game by game. If we continue like this, we wont even make top 4. Then attracting top quality players will be tough and getting back in the top 4 even tougher. For this seasons sake, he needs to get the best out of what he has. Currently he isnt being able to do that. The problem is that he apparently has potential, but isnt inspirational to the players i would think.

Just Pathetic. "Fake Fans" ? Are you serious? the guy is on the Chelsea forum voicing his displeasure about our performance , not only from players but managers, coaching staff , medical staff etc. Just because everyone is not as idealistic as some of you here doesnt make them fake fans, disgusting and deserved to be "kicked off this forum", " go support some other club" The fact is that if we had previous managers with same players blah blah, we really needed a revolution, not transition, evolution or whatever,.....evolution takes millions of years or 10s of years.(longer periods) I dont know how some of you actually think our performances have become better than last season or the season before. We are still as clueless, mostly not motivated, devoid of pace and creativity. And we have spent a whole lot of dough while "preparing for the future" AVB till now has shown no signs of brilliance at Chelsea. He hasnt reinvigorated any players career.( as it does indeed happen when new managers come in) He has not brought out the best, or better from the players. MODRIC MUST BE LAUGHING.

AVB should substitute Lampard for Josh. Then if we draw or lose or even win, atleast he changed the tactics and subbed the deadweights in todays game.
