To me it's obvious, we lack quality in our spine. Imagine having Kompany at CB and Yaya in front of him. Instead we have Mikel who's slower than my grannie and workhorse Ramires who isn't exactly a great passer of the ball. Lamps doesn't cut it anymore either.

Talkchelsea, home of knee-jerk reactions.. If we'd won yesterday, which we could have, this thread wouldn't exist and you'd all be saying that this team is actually doing well in a transitional season. Besides, no team would win the Prem with our midfield. It's so bad it's laughable. Spend your money on that department coming summer, Roman, instead of splashing silly cash on a striker we don't need.

I enjoyed the game; don't know why so many thought we were woeful. It's not like we were playing Fulham. City has better players in every department. Not to mention the difference in muscle. Should've had a pen as well, which could have changed the game. Oscar should've started in the centre, deep or up high I don't care, he's a championship player on the wings.

k, now you can despair

So much overreaction again. We're getting outmuscled, what did you expect? We've had a solid 20 mins, no reason to despair. Mikel is not a football player though

I know a British couple that moved here 4 years ago. They didn't need to adjust at all, the main difference is indeed the language. Same shitty weather and gritty suburbs as well

Hardly a lifetime.. A nephew of mine wasted 460+ days of his life playing WoW.

He has a place in this team, but he's definately not one of the best in the world yet. He's one of the best young players in the world.

I don't want Falcao here. Schurrle is overrated.

your willy =F

Hitler fought for what he believed in. Moderate limp-wristed expenses-fiddling berks > deluded patriots

Good riddance Joseph Barton ‏@Joey7Barton 47m I'd say RIP Maggie but it wouldn't be true. If Heaven exists that old witch won't be there...

Yea he gets rotated, which makes his 13 goals even more impressive.. dno what point you're trying to prove there. How the fuck can you tell if a player is ready if you don't even fucking know how he plays every week Wipe that sand out of your vagina and think before you post.

You've watched him a few times, good for you. Most of us watch him every week, some, like me, have been following him since he was 16yo. Noone is saying he'd score 20+ goals for Chelsea next season. That would be quite an achievement seeing strikers hit their prime around 27 yo. You're entitled to your opinion but don't come on here critisising a player you've 'watched a few times'.

In 2 seasons? I doubt Moses has ever been better than KDB.

Can't write him off in his first season, he hasn't been crap like Marin (and Moses in my opinion). He's bursting with talent, but needs to bulk up big time. He should be in the centre permanently, out wide he's crap. Mata and Hazard were equally bad today.

So much panic here, we're capable of scoring 2 in 45 min. Mazacar needs to step up tho, atrocious passing.

I actually felt pity for Marin =(

boring game, despite the goals /yawn

Meh. I think he should have started either Oscar or Hazard. Try and finish it off in this tie, rest key players in the away game for City..

Kanchelskis convinced Rubin Kazan can shock 'unstable' Chelsea Former Man United winger Andrei Kanchelskis believes Rubin Kazan can upset Europa League opponents Chelsea tonight. Kanchelskis doesn't rate the quality of Chelsea's players this season. "This year, Chelsea are not such a strong team, as they were a few years ago," he told Izvestia. "The club is in a change of generations, and the owners cannot determine the future of the coach. Because of this, the team is under constant pressure. "In contrast, Kazan is very balanced and the coach has clear ideas. Ruby will not run headlong forward, and will wait for their chance. I think that Rondon can score an important goal on the road. The Venezuelan is in great shape."

He needs a better club than Werder.. Actually, should Mourinho come back, another year on loan might be the best for both KDB and Chelsea, especially if he'd bring a midfielder with him. Dortmund would be the perfect club to confirm the ability he showed this season. Leverkusen as well. I'm not sure KDB is ready to perform well on a weekly basis in the Prem, but he sure has the potential to be a very very good midfielder. Getting rid of him would yet be another sign of a complete lack of vision from the Board. Same goes for Courtois, to an even bigger extent. It's all just speculation though, perhaps the board (or José) are keen on having them in the squad next season.. time will tell.

Was browsing a liverpool forum earlier, they were saying what an attack we would have with Hazard, Sturridge, Mata. O wait we had it.
