Bossingwa almost scoring a screamer!

We need to put Kalou in for Ramires. He was awful in the first half and has disappeared completely in the second.

One worthy of a red card.

TORRES! How unlucky could you get??

I really hate Van P**sy!

Torres to come on.

What a run by Mata!! Danny should've finished it.

Oriol off. Not one of his better games, especially defensively.

Looks like Lmaps is set to come on. We NEED some new ideas.

Cech saves our arses, but it wasn't the best of finishes.

Great ball by Mata, slightly behind Danny.

Malouda should come on for Ramires. Raul can at least pass (occasionally).

Seeing the goal we conceded again, I can't help but feel that the players gave up on the ball even before Ireland took the first shot. And Paulo should've done better on two occasions in the build up.

Half time and no wonder our performance has been less than convincing. Our middle three have been terrible to say the least! Romeu can not put in a good tacle today, Raul is too slow, and ramires has played one of his worst 45 mins in a Chelsea shirt. I'm not one who usually complains during games, but we have really been poor so far.

Come on DD, bury that FK.

Again with the stupid defensive errors!

Good timing for the goal. Now let's not blow it like we have been doing.

PENALTY! Thank you Richard Dunn!

We are losing the ball in areas we can't afford to lose the ball in.

Sneijder was putting in world-class performances because he is a world-class player. Put Inter were by no means a one man show like Milan and Kaka when they won the CL in 2007 or like Real Madrid and Ronaldo are now.

Good start. Great little run by Mata.

Come on lads. :cfc: Great to see Hutchinson make the bench.

Lahm is probably the most two footed player in the world.

Agreed. Look at Inter's treble winning side with Mourinho, they did not have a single player that was playing out-of-this-world football, but what they did have is the understanding of the coach's vision and the tactical discipline to bring it to life. That's why, imo, consistency in the managerial staff is vital to a teams success. It takes time to get players to play like the manager wants them to.
