Anyone has the highlights of the match, please? I can't find any.

I'm pretty sure JT will be available for the match. Cole however has a 50-50 chance.

I'm sorry, but that's just the silliest stereotype I've ever heard. Most English Chelsea fans support the team based ideology or family heritage, but it is normal for the majority of foreign supporters to be Chelsea fans due to the team's performance. But why point out Asians? Why not south Americans or Africans for instance?

Oh, sorry. Thought there was something wrong with the link.

The Lampard link doesn't work, each time I click his name, it just sends me the page I'm already on.

Agreed. We will probably be playing on the counter attack so Danny's pace will be vital for us. I'm hoping for a 1-1 draw.

The goal we conceded was his fault, he was supposedly marking murphy.

Dortmund extended their lead at the top of the table after winning against Hertha Berlin and Bayern only managing a draw against Freiburg.

He was positioned correctly at the start, but took a step to try to make the angle harder. The goal was Fernando's mistake, he was marking murphy at the start of the corner.

I believe he was born in 1991. So 20 years old.

He had a few slightly-above-average matches at the start of the season, nothing too glamorous; Now he doesn't seem to be able to pick a simple pass.

Let's call him back! How was his general play?

I am honestly starting to believe he is a one-season wonder. He hasn't been doing even the basic passing right lately. Even his long rage shooting, his supposed strong point, has been awful. Hmmm. I have to disagree, I don't think he has been as bad as some make out. The argument that a single player slows down a team does not make any sense imo, especially if the midfield is just as slow without him. Yes he's lost a yard or two and possibly his ability to shoot from outside the box, but he can still pick a pass better than any other midfielder we have ( if you count Mata as a forward) and most importantly can get a few goals, which comes in handy when out strikers can't. Even defensively, he has the ability to make a sliding tackle, unlike raul.

How? Defensively? Definitely not on the attacks?

Every time I see him in a Chelsea shirt I am reminded of how different our season may have been had we got Modric.

The finish today was pure class. Right in the corner of the goal, keeper had absolutely no chance.

I expected what I saw of him today. Solid defensively but not very potent in the attacks. He is more of a traditional LB. But he can definitely be an adequate substitute.

I fear for Andre. He looked really nervous in the first half, he also looks like he has lost some weight. His hands were shaking scarily in a couple of camera shots in the first half. The disgraceful fans chanting Jose's name certainly did not help.

Great position fro the FK. Come on DD!

That was a close call. We need to FOCUS.
