Götze is not a winger but a central attacking midfielder and he is not "explosive", Neymar plays the Messi position (second striker, not a pure winger).

You are a handful aren't you.... At first you say it was a mistake to start Kalou, then say he should have played longer to "boost his confidence" (we were 1-0 down and needed a goal ffs, I'd take a goal over an overconfident Kalou any day). Next you say Torres should have been off earlier, yet he was subbed out on 59th minute (that's early in football).. should he have been off at 30th like Kalou then? I bet you wouldn't have minded that, because you are so biased towards Drogba it's unbelievable.

HAHA so obviously not Mata... this dude is a metalhead, just look at his hair

This squad has never been a 1st half team, with none of the coaches. And how often have we seen Chelsea concede first and only then start playing? It's beyond me why it is so, but it is worrying... I think lack of motivation is maybe an issue, they need good hard beating from the manager during half time to feel upbeat again, and having a few unmotivated sloths on the field will make a difference for the negative. We also seem to underestimate our opponents and once they punish us for that, then we start showing our true nature... It's something that has been worrying me not only today, not the previous fixture, but for years starting somewhere around when Mourinho was still here.

Is Romeu next to Lukaku? Kalou is probably dreaming there "ooh what a tap in, a beauty... it could've been me"

yes

To be honest I was celebrating it like a goal, more or less... shook my hand in the air, made a little clap and smiled a bit. Overreacted.. no?

that's gold... how does the saying go, "children's mouths don't lie"?

Neither Torres or the whole team created a single chance in the first half... The "chance" by Cole was a hopeful long shot. And Torres was subbed off at the beginning of 2nd half... So not him or anybody else were even close to creating a decent chance. Drogba wasted his and disappeared for the rest of the game... simple as that, the whole team sucked and they were no exceptions.

Shows how much you know about football... Götze is not a winger. And once Mata comes, you will see he is nothing like Malouda.

Typical... Is there a video of the post-match interview?

I did statistics on Kalou's game today against WBA, here it is Kalou stats vs. WBA Minutes played 34 Attempted dribbles 1 Successful dribbles 0 Lost possession 2 Shit passes 2 Shit shots 1 Good shots 0 I think I'll be doing them regularly, if he stays a regular starter of course.

Miss the super cross by Ivanovic, the only thing I can remember

Poor piss game despite the win. 3 points but feels like a loss. Against a better opposition we would have conceded 3 at least... WBA crapped 2 amazing chances. Best players imo: Ramires, Hilario... can't think of any more Worst players imo: Kalou, Drogba, Malouda, Torres, Lampard, Anelka Yes, a lot of you praise Torres for his effort, but effort alone wasn't enough... I can remember only 1 good dribble by him, the others he fucked up... he tried too hard and failed many times, that's the reason he was taken off to be replaced by an even poorer Drogba. And despite the goals Malouda and Anelka were shit. Kalou's ceiling is reserves, tops.

Good idea.. I will keep a count hopefully myp2p.eu comes back online soon, those VIP TV streams tend to break halfway through

I predict Kalou out in 60-65th minute for Malouda

I usually don't know what to do when Kalou plays... to laugh or weep. When he screws up, I tend to do both at a time.

30+ thousand? :D why do I doubt that

Brad is a troll, attention whore

I don't get where people take the he's a bad passer thing. Everybody has a shit pass once in a while, but overall I think his passing is decent and some have impressed me over the years. A very cool-headed holding midfielder, not the one who used to get carded almost every game

Yes I agree, you missed out on my edited post before, I said the same thing:

Agreed.. And remember it wasn't me who said he was better. I always look to have both sides competing in equal conditions before making a judgement, therefore I won't say he is better, and I won't go as far as already saying the comparison is delusional or retarded

Well, there are sensible comparisons and then there are complete retardations

Why is it hard to believe somebody thinks Mata is better than Silva? Silva is good and has proven himself in EPL, but he is far from untouchable in terms of skill. The only way to really compare those two is when they start playing in the same league (I don't follow Spanish league, so I can't compare from the time they played in Valencia)... But yeah, I like Silva too, but I don't think comparing him to Mata is anywhere near "delusional". Mata would probably play a different role for us too as a winger, while Silva is their playmaker more than anything.
