I think we will all agree that Fabregas is a great midfielder. He also happens to be Arsenal's pen taker. Here's his stats: 2009-2010 19 goals 19 assists 2010-2011 9 goals 17 assists Pretty close to Lampsy's stats, Frankie's are even a little better imo.

You make it sound like it's war between Josh and Frank. They can both play a fair amount of games during the season. Lampard needs to play less games and help with the rotation in the middle. Besides Josh is still not ready for some games imo, for example against Stoke at britania or yesterday at the Mestalla.

Not necessarily...he can be another malouda but on the right.

He left us exposed sooo many times, if luiz wasn't so quick we would've payed for his inadequate defending. I think if we had a better option at RB, Bossingwa would make a descent winger.

The past couple of weeks the media frenzy over Lampard was just ridiculous imo. He's 33yo it's only normal that he gets rested more often. And though his performances so far have not been up to his usual standards, the media insist on portraying him as a player who's not good enough to play in the EPL; And what's even more frustrating is that opinion has been echoed by some chelsea fans. But yesterday our legend had the best way to silence haters. He scored, made 2 great passes that should've been assists, and was probably our MOTM. I think he is a long way from being over at chelsea. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7jgKIQCEjI&feature=feedu Eveyone: Agree? Disagree?

Yeah but Ruiz really should've finished better..

He is our best attacking option at RB.

I don't blame AVB. It is easy to criticize when you have no idea how hard his job is. In a top team like chelsea, the manager has the mission impossible of keeping everyone happy. I bet AVB thought that an appearance in CL would silence kalou who no doubt has been whining about not playing. And it was for 5 mins, it's not like AVB counted on Kalou for the whole match. Who knew he would pull such a bonehead move?! Besides a draw is a good result, and I think we would've all taken it before the match.

Except for the Torres-header-save, which was out of this world, I thought all their keeper did was get his positioning right. Our strikers didn't work the angles right and made his job a lot easier.

He's simply a legend. Despite being sacked, he's. always the only commentator/analyzer on British TV talking of chelsea in a positive manner.

AVB handling the press superbly as always: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09KlBGHuZZY&feature=feedu "The refereeing? Nothing new to chelsea." We were unlucky not to win yesterday due to some very poor finishing and a couple of pens that weren't given, but I think AVB was feeling a bit guilty for his last sub.

Hahaha. I think that's the Daily Mail's headline today!

I agree, except I have a feeling Romeu will start this one, perhaps instead of Lampard?

Sturridge will probably start as he was rested in the CL. I think JT will be rested for the game with Iva and Luiz at the back. I don't think AVB will play him 3 games in 7 days.

Technically, he doesn't have to let them take it unless it's a penalty. So the ref was at fault there. But he was mistaken not to give two clear chelsea penalties, for Ramires in the first half, and even more frustrating for malouda right at the end literally 2 feet away from the 6th ref.

I think we really were unlucky with our finishing. Yes Kalou is stupid, but if we had finished properly we would have put the game to bed before he came on. Even after the penalty Nico should've won it for us really. Yes their keeper had good positioning our poor finishing helped him a lot.

Forgetting stupid Kalou for a min the positives are: 1)Great performance by Lampsy 2)Terry and Luiz worked absolutely great together 3)It's a good draw since it'll probably see us get 1st place in the group if we make no mistakes against Genk 4)Kalou probably won't play for Chelsea FC ever again (nop I couldn't forget him )

Anyone else feel like breaking something? A kalou statue for instance? It's not the draw that's annoying me it's a good result barring in mind they still have to come to the bridge, but the manner of the draw is what's frustrating. Kalou should be hanged as soon as he sets foot in London.

That should've been a penalty for malouda!

FFS Anelka should've scored

Fucking stupid kalou! He just sealed his own fate at chelsea imo.

Kalou!!! WTF!

Cech!!!!! Amazing save!

Kalou on for lampsy.

Malouda should've scored! Not much behind the shot.
