Expect the team to be tired and jet with low morals. I'd be surprised if we do win.

Not sure if it is because we are in "performance mode", or Jim fixed it, but the problem with posts being marker as read seems to be fixed for me. Anyone else?

This is so bad, it's actually funny: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=PkHpgAKr9MU

Maybe because last season Drogba was 34 and could no longer do it every match. But even with his age, every time he stepped on the pitch, he offered for the team 100 times more than Torres has in his entire Chelsea career.

Yes. by at least a few yards!

The goal shouldn't have stood to tbf but glad he got the assist. At least one blue is having a good day.

Fifth YC against Sunderland.

Luck? No sir, those all important goals that Drogba got against Napoli, Barcelona, Tottenham, Liverpool and most importantly, Bayern were not down to luck. You don't get 9 goals in 9 finals by luck. It takes ability and mental strength. What Drogba had was a winner's mentality. It is what successful players must have and what losers mistake for luck.

This one wins goal of the week for me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=QixftvOeiVY Honorable mention to the ever amazing Klose for this clinical strike: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=WqsHexIHaEg

I think the word to describe how I feel about this game is "heartbroken". Absolutely shattered that we missed this opportunity. I expect heads to roll!

Well, I'm glad he has such passion and love for the club at such young age. Hats off to Lucas.

^^ That's all over twitter but I'm yet to see a reliable source. Whether he said it or not, he has a point.

No wait, I can't see it either. Jim? EDIT: Never mind

Dear Fernando, Today was the last straw. Please, GET THE FUCK OUT, and take that fat Spanish waiter with you. Sincerely, Nour

I've backed Rafa since day 1 but that does not mean I won't criticize him when he's at fault and for me he is solely to blame for today's disaster for not starting Mikel and not subbing Moses and Cahil off at half time.

On a side note, Cahil was our worst player in the first half. Too many mistakes.

Oh so Brazilians dive too...

This is it. Let's become the champions of the world! Come on you blues!

Not the best game to be trying stuff, imo. Lamps will have to take the distributor role and limit his forward runs.

Anyone else worried that we are playing with no DM?!

Chelsea team for Corinthians: Cech, Ivanovic, Cahill, David Luiz, Cole, Ramires, Lampard, Mata, Moses, Hazard, Torres.

That did it Thanks, Jim.

Tbf, first touch was never his strong point. Clinical finishing, holdup play and aerial abilities is what made him one of the most feared strikers in the world. I think he showed all of them for 83 mins today.
