must be a dream to only start with 10 players

The fact that AVB has come out and said that he's definitely not going to get the sack makes it probable that Roman mustve told him that he's going to get time. If not he'd look like an idiot by making such a convincing statement if Roman didn't back him.

The Alex substitution was because Luiz was injured/ill so I don't know how you can complain about it. It wasn't a tactical move.

Drogba was a big part of why we were so dire in the 1st half. He just gave the ball away every single time he got it, which led to them attacking again. Of course, blame should also rest on our midfielders who were poor too and gave the ball away as well.

Maybe I need to watch the match again but I honestly thought Drogba was awful

Iva's last few performances as a CB have been disastrous!

What chants did they sing about JT and Ashley? Not 100% certain but I believe I heard them singing "You know what you are" to JT a couple of times

What AVB should do Cech Ivanovic, Luiz, Alex, Bertrand Romeu McEachran, Meireles Sturridge, Torres, Mata Not gonna happen tho but would be delighted to see something like that

It's isn't just at our club, though. Every club in the premier league is probably having the same problem. We're just noticing it now moreso because of the "bad moment" that we're in. Plus majority of our players have been here since the Mourinho era and have already won their fair share of trophies. Money = lesser and lesser passion in the game. No way around it.

Fair enough. I apologize. I got carried away with that after the match. lmao BB you're giving Drogba way too much credit he was rubbish for almost the entire game.

Agree Drogba didn't do anything at all. Scored a good goal, that's about it. Fucked a couple of other chances up. His gameplay improved in the 2nd half but only by a little, no where near good enough. He has mentally checked out

On another note, Bosingwa defended much better as a LB than he does as a RB

Yes bu clubs do not revolve around a single player. I understand that you support and love Torres and I'm not saying that he shouldn't have played today, but there more things wrong with Chelsea FC than the fact that Torres isn't playing.

Thought Malouda wasn't that bad when he came on. Obviously would have preferred Torres or Anelka (had he travelled) but he did ok Continuing the thoughts about players letting the team down more than managers: I'm just so fucking glad that all of these players with power i.e. Lampard, Terry, Cole, Drogba and Malouda are all old and will retire soon. Don't get me wrong I appreciate what each and every one of them have done for the club (the first two in particular) but we just need a new team, a new era and that won't happen until they are gone

I'm not saying that he wouldn't have. But I'm just sick of people going on and on about him AS IF THE WORLD REVOLVES AROUND TORRES. But I apologize. I'm really frustrated right now.

Yep agreed. Compared to our recent woes, this was a defensive masterclass. We got the basics right, and I'm okay with that. Players are shell shocked right now so hopefully they'll all wake up and realize that they've got to start performing

"Poor Torres" "He must be so frustrated sitting on the bench" "Chelsea are so dumb not to play Torres!!!11!!!" oh fuck off Really. Just sign out and never come back to this forum because you're embarrassing yourself

OH FUCK OFF. can we ban all of these fucking Torres fangirls and fanboys that just post about Torres Torres torres THIS IS CHELSEA FC NOT TORRES FC

No we didn't 'need' to win this game. When they equalized they were clearly on the front foot and had all the momentum.

STFU stop going on about Torres he's hardly setting the world alight

Fuckkkk. Players look shell shocked. Time for each and every one of them to step up now and perform to their abilities. Enough of this nonsense. If you're embarrassed then go and support another club why don't you

Posted that immediately after I first saw it lol. Apologies. But you never know with DD.

Stop wasting time DD

Difficult chance but drogba of 2years ago would have scored

Alright I'm blocking you now.
