The problem with Torres, if you look at his goals at liverpool, is that he is a striker that needs good passes, long balls, etc to score. Unlike Drogba that forces his way to the goal and without a proper playmaker we can't make him work the way we expect him to, he is not a defense pusher, he is a defense dribbler. If you compare Torres with Drogba you will see the difference, Drogba is a premier league striker strong, while Torres is a spanish league striker with a lot of pace, why do you think Torres started to stink as soon as Benitez was sacked and Alonso and company got sold? Benitez' era Liverpool was a Spanish playing style club. If we want Torres to succeed we need to leave the English playing style and start playing like in La Liga, short passes, long balls, counter attacking and etc, didn't you see his last goal at Aston Villa? Counter-attack and goal. We need to bring a spanish playmaker to play with Torres, who understands how to pass the ball to him. Then we will make him work, or well forget about Torres and just give Dany a chance.

CANCEL HIS LOAN AND BRING HIM NOW

He's a proven striker in the belgium league he should be played instead of Drogba. Lukaku has the drive we need right now he's young and he wants to score and win stuff, we should give him an opportunity to start 1 or 2 matches or at least play a part on them. Alternatively... We can just promote Feruz to the first team

What are the actual consequences of not qualifying into the champions league? In my opinion it's the best thing that can happen to us. It would be more of a wake up call than a bad situation.

YES hahaha I'm watching the Man U v. Athletic and this is beautiful. And he seems like a guy that eats shit from no one.

I think our best bet is to get Bielsa at the end of the season this guy is a genius

oh God have you guys seen this? http://hasrobertodimatteobeensackedyet.com/ same as AVB's website... http://hasandrevillasboasbeensackedyet.com/

Why did we ever kicked Ray Wilkins?! Have you guys noticed that since Wilkins is gone everything has been downhill?

And this is why they call it saTURDay

If AVB is sacked and Benitez comes to Chelsea that's bye bye...

^ Trial and error, at least he can learn from the mistakes

At this point sacking AVB will only bring more uncertainty and more tactical problems. As stated as everyone before me, the players are the ones that are having problems with the system, they are the ones that do whatever they want on the field what can Villas Boa do? Does he play? NO. He is the manager he is a tactician and a orator. Yes he screams, kicks and jumps when on the field as a normal player. But he does it from a box (and he is not a goalkeeper), if players some players are not responding to this is their fault. Chelsea is tainted, and sadly it is tainted by their own legends. They have a hierarchy, Drogba, Cole, Lampart, Terry they are in power right now because without a regular manager they have taken the charge of the father figure, of course Abramovic is the grandpa with all the money, but they act selfishly. I think I'm jumping too hard by the next statement I'm going to make and I will get some hate out of it but is how I feel. In my opinion Lampard one of our most beloved legends is killing us from inside, he underperforms and I can bet he is screwing with the other players brains, this is a guy with a 3 digit IQ he is not dumb and he knows from past experience that he is a agent of influence in the dressing room. I'm very sure that he has something to do with the recent reports of arguments between players and manager. Sadly manipulation is a very strong tool. I just hope this period we are going through passes by before the end of the season I would be heart broken if we don't classify to the Champions League. The best option right now to Lampard would be to retire and seek his managing career I can see him become one of the greatest managers.

Peace you're great

I trust everything will work out well the only thing that is keeping us down are the bad vibes and people not fully believing in our players. When we are winning everyone is happy but as soon as we hit a bad form patch everybody starts pointing the finger. I know that things will get better! You just have to trust AVB and the players (Except Kalouda and Lampard I don't trust them)

WHYYYY?!?!?!?! why not just essien out lukaku in 4 4 2 or 4 3 1 2 ?

positivism anyone?

TWO PENALTIES??!!? WHAT THE FUCK? I just woke up can someone explain the 2 penalties for me please?

Did anyone find kakuta's freekick goal from last week? In a working link please

This is true, sorry for my angry post... Everyone has his own opinion and it needs to be respected. It just boils my blood to see all the pessimism.

Another one of these? I'm more a forum reader than a poster... I just want to say everybody whose got little patience or just want chelsea to win win win win win win buy buy buy to please leave the forum and come back next season. AVB is building a team you guys know what building means right? The process of creating or developing something, typically a system or situation, over a period of time: the building of a top class Chelsea Football Club is underway. -Apple Dictionary. Yes we are drawing in games against freaking Swansea and losing against QPR but WHAT? What? I mean I am no going to say that I don't get mad but what can we do? Nothing just trust AVB and Abramovic that's it AVB is a technical genius lets be honest. The only thing he can't fully control is players and their personalities but he is doing a good job so far. Please stop posting this kind of threads and being pessimistic because what will we achieve if AVB is sacked? We will be taking a step backwards actually.

Thank you! but I can't play this video because I'm in the US is there another source?

did anybody found a video of the goal? I would like to see it...

Two things: 1. Neymar is SOOO overrated. 2. Madrid's defense is just plain retarded.

All I have read this weekend is how "amazing" Man U are because they came back from a 2 game losing streak to win against city in such a "marvelous" way, which made me die a little inside, and how Kompany's card was totally deserved and how they are so "inspiring". COME ON City was a man down from the start of the game and still managed to score 2 goals and almost equalize the game. I'm not rooting for city or anyone that is not Chelsea but damn do I hate this kind of biased articles...

Is it only me? Or somebody else feels that every news source out there just LOVES to kiss Manchester United's feet? I mean is there any non-biased news source out there? I used to get all my soccer news from ESPN Soccernet, but now I just feel dirty.
