That was fast! Good work as usual. I always enjoy your match reports most.

How about Felipe Melo? He has the ability to every bit as good as Modric.

Oh no, not another ridiculously expensive probable flop!

Great performance from almost everyone. Went for Mata's efficiency, though Dany and Oriol deserve a mention as well.

A much needed win, clean sheet, and overall performance for the blues. I think AVB has done his job very very well for this game starting with team selection and not ending with tactics and subs. I felt Romeu gave an excellent first league match performance we all were sure he was capable of. Benching Lampard was well time as he really hasn't been getting any rest. Mata had a brilliant MOTM performance, as Dani continued to prove he belongs in the starting 11. I'm also glad JT got that suspension out of his way before December. If I had to find a down side it would be that we wasted many chances that were more than enough to double the score line. All in all it was a glorious blue day. I'm so proud of the team for producing such a reaction to series of bad luck the club was going through. KTBFFH

We are still wasting so much chances, we should've had at least another three goals in the second half.

Sorry guys I can't donate . Pay pal is not available in where I am! But well done every one

Tottenham score

The crowd has been just great today. KTBFFH

Sill, don't expect him back in the team until Jan at best.

I think we payed yet again for not being clinical and not killing the game off when we have the chance. Though the penalty was an awful call we can't really place the blame there, with our finishing that night I think we would've missed it anyway (penalty vs Genk springs to mind). What really worries me is that we seemed to settle for the draw at the end. By the way you forgot to mention malouda's one-on-one with the keeper at 1-0, which again comes to show the problem with our finishing. Let's just hope Genk get something against Leverkusen, and keep the faith guys.

You got a point mate, but the problem is that those opinions are usually escorted with insults to other chelsea players (ex:" why didn't torres start?, drogba is shit"). In general, the match thread is getting annoying during games that aren't going our way, and does leave the impression that some members are not heartily supporting the club.

Torres FC sign a striker? That's absurd....

I have a feeling this is just a routine meeting that's been blown out of proportion by some idiot journalist.

How do you compare a Drogba performance to a Torres one. Drogba is a target man who plays with his back to the goal. His main job is to use his physical strength to receive long balls, which he did very well, I thought, against Leverkusen. Torres is almost the complete opposite. He uses his pace to make runs behind the defense. In terms of form, I have to say DD is on a better form especially that he scored in mid week, welst Torres, in the last couple of matches, seemed indifferent. He was just not getting in the box enough to score.

I agree. I'd start Lukaku instead.

Ballack!

On the plus side: who knew bossingwa could defend this well? and on the left wing as well!

In the CL, the matches between the two level teams are taken into consideration before goal difference. Meaning a goal-less draw will see us through having draw 1-1 at the Mestalla.

I'm actually not upset about the performance. It was much more solid defensively despite being so unlucky as to concede so late. Once again we could've sealed the game when we were 1-0 up, we should've had a pen at 1-1 as well. I think was lacking our performance is a bit of luck. Now, all we have to do is pray that Genk conjure up at least a draw at home to Bayern. Heads up guys, KTBFFH.

Actually a draw will get us to the knock outs.

Well that's what we get for missing chances...again. So unlucky to concede in stoppage.

Fuck!

Drogba will continue the game despite hurting his leg. What a legend!

We were losing the midfield battle. Putting on Mikel allows us to have more possession in the last 10mins so we could pressure their defense.
