Wasn't the best pass from Cech but any player should have had the awareness and ability to deal with the situation imo In terms of defensively, we need to sort out our basics first: clearing the ball when there are defenders near you instead of trying to play your way out (Luiz), not diving in and committing yourself way too early (everyone), playing wingers to the outside and not letting them cut in (fullbacks) most of the individual errors that our defenders have made so far this season are extremely basic and it baffles me how they can get it wrong

BTW - he's been fined 12,000 pounds by the FA for his comments after QPR

Think that's a little harsh lol he does make good runs. Knows where defenders are and where to run to get space

I haven't really watched Bolton at all this season but those who have - would he do well in a high-line?

good point on the "left" which was utter disaster yesterday, and the right of Ivanovic and Bosingwa was the same against Arsenal

I thought that we were ok in terms of CBs but our horror show defensively so far this season makes me think we need one, if not two more quality CBs. Like LDN_Blue said Alex is definitely on his way out, and Ivanovic should just be used as a RB and not a CB. So we've only got JT and Luiz and both are liabilities in different ways so we need to get one CB in January imo

Yeh I know what you mean but most of the goals that he's scored are technically excellent and apart from Mata, he probably has the best technique in our entire team lol so it was really disappointing When he got the ball I was screaming at my telly "don't shoot don't shoot" and he shot but thankfully it was so horrible that it landed perfectly for Danny lol

Same I thought he was quite decent. Far better than Terry or A. Cole

yep, Malouda really should have buried his chance. Not just saying this cause it's him lol Anyone really shouldve scored that, but Malouda has really good technique and that's a chance you expect him to score

AVB's decision to leave Torres out against Liverpool was spot on, I thought. Time for him to step up now. I know he isn't getting the best service and all but stop sulking and help out the team and provide some inspiration to the the team and the fans

I absolutely adore him He uses the word "geezer" in every single tweet he posts :D

The amount of player-power at our club is simply ridiculous. I know it "helped" when a couple of these players influenced the sacking of Scolari and all, but it's just too unhealthy and doesn't go on at other clubs. We are paying the price for: 1) Not blending in youth with older players and phasing out likes of Lamps, JT, A. Cole slowly 2) Not bringing in any creative & intelligent players at all in the last god knows how many years 3) Not getting rid of the likes of Anelkalouda, Drogba, Ferreira, and so on, (not at the same time but one or two in the each of the last few summers) and bringing in hungrier, talented players There isn't any motivation, passion, drive in the team. Sure, they turn it on now and then, as we saw against QPR but it needs to be a consistent thing and there are just too many who are happy collecting their paycheck every week despite putting in mediocre performances

What AVB should do against Wolves: Cech Ivanovic, Luiz, Alex, Bertrand McEachran, Romeu, Meireles Sturridge, Torres, Mata This midfield should be given a go. Lampard + Ramires there is just no creativity at all. Drop Terry and A.Cole. This team is more than good enough to beat Wolves at home McEachran, Meireles and Bertrand will show much more hunger than the shit we saw in the first half yesterday Won't happen but I can hope

Agree, the commentary was so ridiculously biased. Old Toilet and Anfield get just as quiet on matchdays if their team isn't winning. And don't even get me started on the Emirates Wish there was a way to simply remove the commentary and just watch with the other sounds. I get really sick and tired of the commentary most of the time but just can't watch it on mute... too weird

Only players that put up a decent performance today imo: Drogba, Ivanovic and Luiz The rest were either nonexistent or rubbish

Also, we really need a CB in January. JT's performance was a horror show today imo. Alex is evidently on his way out

I honestly want to know what Malouda does in training that impresses AVB so much

Agree about Terry. He was awful today. Thought Drogs was really good today. Apologize for having doubts about his selection, and even though he's not the Drogba of old, he still made a good impact today. And of course we'll never know, but I think he did more today than Torres would have done had he started Ideally Bertrand should have started getting games two seasons ago. Maybe 5 PL starts two seasons ago, and up to 10 starts last season. And definitely played in CL group stages, carling cup, etc. At this point, it's a very complicated situation because you can't throw him in now because he has no experience at our "level" which isn't his fault, but Ashley has been very poor this season. So it's hard to resolve this situation

Before I go, Terminator X, do you even support Chelsea? Because I can't seem to find a single thing that you actually like about the club

aaaand here comes the AVB onslaught signals for me to sign off

Really poor. AVB should have brought on Meireles sooner. Ashley Cole was just a mess And JT's defending was absolutely awful. Don't know why people were harping on and on about Luiz, he was ok. JT was just comical. Diving in time and time again and made to look stupid each time

Meireles and Sturridge just HAVE to come on at half time Inject some pace.... SOME LIFE into this fucking team

Mikel is just not good enough. I know this seems like a kneejerk reaction but I've felt this for a long long time now. Forget about the mistake but he's an average player he brings nothing special to the team. He doesn't do his duties very well. He's just... okay. Not good enough at all.

Wish I was drunk. Am way too nervous.

Bellamy us definitely going to keep winding JT up. He better keep his calm
