i agree with this post as well people fail to realize his job is not to make that 40yrd or be in the box he is there to bring stability as well as keep possession of the ball, if that means he has to play backwards sometimes then so be it... i'd rather have him play back a high percentage pass then do something out his role and lose the ball in a threatening position

agreed

:offtopic:

thats exactly it Mikel can slot back as a comfortable CB good on the ball and in the air..as long as we play david luiz or terry on some occasions..a player like obi is needed

but sergio is a more mobile CDM then Mikel and his instructions are alot different as well as our team doesn't play technically in close spaces like barca..he fits their system where as mikel is still my first choice in cdm because he also covers our ass in the back when our voyaging CB fly up the pitch

but why do we need to play a thousand km/h..look at teams that play great possession i.e. barcelona, they play in three gears slower to lull teams to sleep then they have a regular were they knock the ball around with fluidity and they have a 3 gear wear the string 5-6 passes together within a span of 10s..hence why they are so successful... Mikel is necessary because of his ability to cut out passing lanes and win the ball in the middle and he plays good forward passes to advancing cole and bos.. +

maybe not he is a solid player but not nearly as far along as young players like cleverly of manure or david hoilet of blackburn..we def needed to send him out on loan but we also need him for depth with champions league, prem and league cup.. we just like him need to be patient he will get his games

Torres with two assists today..he played more relaxed as i called for and he did very well today..let have him keep kicking on...

He's on his way back ladies and gentleman..its gonna be a problem for the PL and CL!!!

TORRES TO MATA!!!!

the guy who came just now is deadly...talk about super sub gonna be a rough last 15

the anelka sub has proven the super sub of this game..injected some pace and strength

Torres with a layoff..LUIZ!!! will you guys get off hi back about his play today

hes playing against man u for sure but i had a feeling that would be the sub..no malouda should have come off but again man u on the weekend

holy crap what will it take...

HERE WE GO!! 2ND HALF ACTION :chelsea2:

i would disagree with you on malouda to me he is playing very well linking up with cole and mata..and even with torres..i dont believe any changes need to be made right away

and anyone who was doubting raul meireles before on his quality to start and do well in our midfield proving everyone wrong..liverpool let go a class player

something about Torres's attitude today i see it may be breaking for him this team looks real dynamic going forward...he needs a tap in

the sad thing about Torres not being the Torres we need is that he knows he not living up to what we expect of him and hes trying to hard to get that goal and its making him play poorly... I think if he can just relax and let the game come to him he will gain back his confidence and start to put away the chances he does get..

the subs were needed especially with all the football we will be playing in the next few weeks.. needless to say it sucked the spark out of the team and the zest going forward.. we really need to work on that off the bench zip.. it seems to me because of the egos on the team when players come off the bench a lot of the time its with an attitude and is killing the team dynamic/flow

the good news lads is before al the subs with what looks like our strongest team we looked really good..and AVB said in his goal is to score one more than his opposition if we can grind out one more goal then the other big boys (manu,city,pool,) i have no problem with that... its looking real positive 3 straight wins is always good..some ppl caring on like we lost to sunderland today

see what happened when he brought on malouda with lamps our game died the foot was taken way off the pedal and we cop a goal...ugh!

what a goal!1!! :dude:

anelka is playing the highest striker sturridge is out wide.. but has made the best decisions on the ball so far.. i will chalk it up to nerves from all his talk and our expectations
