Blue-in-me-Veins

Agreed, technical strikers are hard to come by these days. Unlike most i'm still holding the faith that Cavani could be on his way, (naive probably to think so, but hey crazy things have happened). The only striker 'semi-available' that fits the bill is Cavani,, God knows he wasnt talking about Costa with that description. Cavani-Lukaku-Eto'o (if he stays) and Schurrle is a fine combination IMO. One thing i'd like to see form JM next year is Schurrle as a second striker. Never saw that this season, only a false nine. Pulling a 442 against the lower teams can help throw a different look and keep the oppositions CBs occupied instead of the lone-wolf when we defend.

This could be one of our most important summer transfer windows next to 2012. I hope we do our business as early as possible and get everybody settled down. One thing this past season has shown is that leaving things till January can really hurt one's season. No matic, No salah. It creates complacency as players know they will start/miss certain games for rest/rotation purposes. I just hope we get Shaw, first things first. And then top class signings in CM and ST. Honestly kind of nervous to see if the club see the same things we do in our team's weaknesses.

This season will be looked at as a failure, no two ways about it, and there's no way you can convince me otherwise. The way we lost this title race almost makes me cry, and what a pathetic way to end the season. At this rate you almost hope we make 3-4 big signings because we lack real options and competiton. The likes of Oscar, Hazard and Willian are too comfortable i feel.

The only thing worse than English and Arabic and Brazilian Liverpool fans, are all Liverpool fans. Boom.

What a goal! Damn!! Take a Bow Son...

Let's try and end on a solid note. I know we'll all be hoping Liverpool and City lose this weekend, but i don't think that will happen (even with City's poor record at Goodison Park, watch them win it.) Hurts deep down to know that we had our PL fate in our hands, tough one to swallow this season will be no matter how much of a 'miracle' it is that we stayed in the race till this long. Kind of weird seeing us end the season with almost no silverware, No SuperCup, No Carling Cup, No FA Cup (how'd that happen!), NO UCL, No EPL (seems like it). Honestly just want to fastforward to September and get the new season started (with our new signings/recalls.) Things can only get better and want to see JM with 'his' squad.

Outplayed. Could see that AM were always the better side after halftime and to conceede the way we did before half-time was heart-breaking. I will say, im surprised JM opened the gates in the second half,, thought we were gonna sit back and then go for the goal in the last 10-15mins, by opening up the game early we played in AM's hands. Im dissapointed, crushed and at the same time proud. We really were about to so something special but when you saw AM's passing and general play they completely outplayed us in that second 45. What i hope we do is become more complete. Playing ramires and 5/6 defenders is almost reminiscent of the days of RDM. We have the summer and i expect JM and Co. to make this team more solid.

We didn't deserve it, poor performance.

If we don't win this game vs Atletico Madrid on Wednesday just know i'm blaming it all on you, @Jype. You better find yourself in front of a telly come Wednesday or i'll come to Finald and personally cry in front of your house and you'll have to live the rest of your life with that guilt.

He's back! Welcome back, welcome back, Wel-come back!! haha.

Apparently JM said as we scored our second goal was saying to the tune of "You want the Clowns? You want the Clowns?" --Does anybody know for sure what he said or why? Cuz that's a classic line. JM--one love.

100%. Even though he wasn't feeling good, on days where he's not ill i wonder how much stress he puts himself under. Because clearly he's not going anywhere anytime soon, but he honestly looks like a work-a-holic. Just goes to show his love for us.

Think he needs to bulk up, but other than that,, great performace and looks Chelsea material. Could have scored too! Feels weird giving our youngies a chance, we should do this more often.

Steve's backpass in 2009 helped us win the PL. Could Steve's slip-up in 2013 help us win the PL this year? Stranger things have happened. Hahaha

Word, even i was suprised to us resort to THAT infamous tactic again. But i dont think we will see that type of football untill we have a solid striking core, and another CM to complement Matic. But i agree, would really like to see us take that next step and really have confidence that we can pass our way to victory at times and not always resort to Countering and/or the Bus. Been a while since we seen a Chelsea side really boss a top team, (in terms of possesion) i mean besides PSG i can't really think of one. But i'll give it till after the summer to see who we sign. We have a lot of stop-gap players, time to take that final step and build a new core. A more technical core at that also.

Is it too late for the FA to change this match? Like push it back and make it a mid-week game after the CL semi final-2nd leg?

Recall Curtois! But nah Cech is a true Legend, wish him the best. Cant believe we're getting these injuries NOW. I trust our medical team, definately the best in the league, maybe even all of Europe. Dont't even want to think that he could have played his last game for us, not now.

JM got what he wanted, cant really complain i guess.

Honestly, i see Ba, Cole, Torres/Eto, Ramires, and Mikel all leaving. We need to go all out for a bonifide Striker, a real match-winner and for me it'd be Cavani before anybody else. If not then Costa. Lukaku will be kept *gasp* and those two strikers will lead the line with maybe Torres/Eto as third choice. In pivot, i don't know who JM and co. have in mind, but whoever it is, i'd hope he's a finished article. Someone of real class, because this team has enough 'potential-players'. We need a Witsel,Kroos, just somebody with real technical ability. Lastly, we WILL get Luke Shaw, i dont put any faith in thos reports that Man U are 'hijacking' the deal. And contrary to what others think, i would keep Luiz, *gasp*. We're not a selling club, and he's been immense when called upon so i dont see why we should sell him. He is a great Utility player, and can (in my mind) cover for Matic if he gets injured. CB's: JT, Cahill, Ivan, and Luiz LB: Shaw, Azpi, Bertrand RB: Azpi, Ivan CM: Matic, player-X, Luiz, Lamps, MVG AM: Hazard, Oscar, Salah, Willian, Schurrle, ST:Cavani/Costa, Lukaku, Eto/Torres (i think one wil leave, not sure about both.)

We have to go all out for this man, no two ways about it. There's no hiding he's not happy there, AND the potential FFP Ban that they will be hit with only makes matters worse. Give PSG 35m and we can almost write our name on the title for next year. Our squad, lacks finished articles, a lot of potential is there with the likes of Oscar, Salah, and Willian. But we need a bonifide striker who can do it all as well as a bonifide CM, whoever that will be.

Assaidi scored a winner vs us back at the Brittania. (3-2). And Fabio borini also scored the winning penalty today for Subderland. (2-1). *Both are on loan from Liverpool.

So we need Liverpool to lose 2 matches and we need City to lose at least once more. Wow, thats not so bad because im sure Everton are City's bogey team and im sure Norwich can do us a favor and win tomorrow. Then we come through, complete a 'smash and grab' at Anfield, and win out. oh who am i kidding, the title is lost!

Why do people choose to believe rumored transfer fees when their irrational, but hesitate when they truly represent the value of a player? Luke Shaw will be in Chelsea blue, no doubt. And there's no way we're or anybody is paying 30mil pounds for him.

This is no knee-jerk reaction, but i truly don't think we'll beat them. You can only go so far without a striker, and no strong CM (pivot).

Im just gonna shut myself off from all football media sources this mext week. Dont want to know what the sceneraios are, or what is needed to win the title. This will be a tough 7 days. Damn. Do we honestly deserve it now? I dont think so. Would hope we can do something special in the UCL, looks like the league is gone, and City are now back in it. This fucking cut me deep man, not even gonna lie. Just can't believe we came so close, but yet so far. #KTBFFH.
