King Salomon got us the penalty and brilliantly converted by Frank :cfc: we sure needed that pen seeing how difficult it was for us to create chances

they know what's at stake tonight.. they know what has to be done.. they know they know they know

MirrorFootball ‏ @MirrorFootball Chelsea at Fulham: Cech, Ivanovic, Terry (player/manager), Cahill, Bertrand, Mikel, Meireles, Ramires, Lampard, Kalou; Torres #ffc #cfc

I would've liked to see Romeu playing but this is a better lineup imo defense very solid, hoping the pain wont affect Terry too much dont know how we'll fare without Mata though..

#RomeuBack Torres and Drogba in starting XI????

I rate Newcastle as a decent side but not a real threat.. if we were to finish below them we would only have ourselves to blame really we got them Magpies lot in a fixture early May so we can show them who's the better team

fuck...our back four was the only thing I was feeling confident about at the moment, and now... still reckon we can win but only if everyone show some hunger and passion knowing 4th place is within reach and oh yeah we'll probably let in at least one goal seeing their strikers are on form need Mata, Torres, Sturridge whoever's being played to show some heart tonight come on Chelsea!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ivan - Cahill - Luiz - Bertrand Meireles - Romeu/Mikel Ramires Mata Kalou Torres

I hate BARCELONA so MUch I CANT BREATHEEEEEEEEEE please help me....all this hate in mem CANT be healthy *clutches heart*

hold up.... I just noticed Essien looking rather angry after we scored our second

starting XI for Fulham game Ivan - Cahill - Luiz - Bertrand Meireles - Romeu/Mikel Ramires Mata Kalou Torres

Let's be honest, Torres isn't the "turn the game around" impact sub type, in fact he rarely does well if he doesn't start the match. So under those circumstances he did relatively well, I noted a slight but definite change after he had come on, in a positive way. Also we need to stop relying on our defenders to win games for us. I'm happy enough my confidence is restored in our back four (in relation to how things were just a few months ago) but we can't expect them to be our main goalscorers too.

I look at the lineup and see Drogba, Malouda and Essien, players who haven't started that many games or even played much altogether as of late. Now you would expect these guys to put in an effort for at least two reasons: 1. To prove themselves worthy of a place in the starting XI or in the team even. 2. No fatigue issues from playing too much like others, e.g. Mata. Drogba wasn't awful in all honestly but I mean besides coming somewhat close to scoring 3-4 times what else does he do? Out of all the chances I believe he created one for himself (shot in 1st half), the others were supplied to him. He's always messing about hugging opposition players and such and rarely if ever backtracks in the latter parts of the game, very frustrating to watch considering the state we've been in this season. Malouda I'm sorry you got your chance today and didn't try hard enough because you HAVE to be better than that. Also please drop the attitude for once.. Essien? Mostly invisible throughout the game. Doesn't contribute enough going forward or defending really...Sad to see he's no longer fit enough to be the hard worker he once was, often appears exhausted.

would you fuckin believe it..

no one man should face all that slippery surface..

cosine putting on King Salomon

LOL wrong again

MOTM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ivanovic!! HAD TO HAPPEN!

torres & drogba never work togehter but something had to be done

never feel confident when we play Drogba, Malouda, Essien.. always turn what should be easier fixtures into "one of those games"
