Drogba MUST start. But he should have never played against Wigan Stupid decision.

Really? You sure? I think it's a valid argument. But of course I will trust your superior judgement, would be silly to disagree with a knowledgable person like yourself. AVB said everyone should get a chance. Exept ferreira, Bertrand, Josh and Torres.

This is by far the worst performance in terms of desire, workrate, determination I have ever seen in a football match. I just cannot comprehend what you can say to the squad so they play like that. Fine, we were pretty bad against Arsenal, Liverpool, etc. But in no way were those matches devoid of any effort like this one. Not even going to mention the piss poor subs.

Mata could have been moved into midfield with Kalou out wide. This: -----Romeu---- --m/l------Mata Dan---------kalou --------drog------ Is better than ---------mikel--- -Meireles---lampard

Drogba is older than Sturridge, he is more tired as the game goes on Malouda is crap in possession Torres would be completely full of energy and would attack tired centrebacks I'm not saying it would have worked. But it would sure be 100% better than Malouda being on. And no, Sturridge minor knock was not that big a deal

I thought they lacked motivation and drive. I'm sure you know by now whose job it is to motivate them.

Well yeah. Andre can't really make a "direct" mistake. He can't run on the field and score an own goal or handball inside the penalty area. He can't screw up an easy catch. But he does influence games with his substitutions and he got it 100% wrong.

Romeu should have never gone off in the first place given Meireles and Lampard being on. We played this game with 9 men.

But we DIDN'T and that's the most important part. I mean, it's always nice to think what could have occured. Even aside from the cech mistake we looked likely to concede

His assumption is more likely than yours given that we played far better (we still played bad) before the last two subs were brought on

Ok, so Torres has been bad in his time here. Does this mean we should NEVER start or sub him on again? Is that what you're saying? Because I can assure you that is hypocritical given that Kalou, Malouda, Bosingwa, Mikel are getting gametime. If we can't trust him against Wigan I don't know who we will then. Maybe Portsmouth, will you be ok if Torres starts against them or should we start Drogba again?

Are you an idiot or something? If one team keeps more pressure on the other, they have a higher chance to score. How is this even debatable?

Sorry, im trying to find some logic in the subs but I cant. They were really, really stupid and cost us the game. Credit where it's due (Valencia game), criticism where it's not. Which was today. If you could have put out the worst combination of subs out there, this would be it. Well done AVB.

Don't you know that 1 goal advantage is not good enough? Do you not know the pressure that mounts on the defending team? We could have won this game before the 80th minute, but alas the tactical substitutions were wank, and so we are left with 1 point

Who cares if Drogba is in good form? He has played roughly 500mins if not more over the last month. We had two tough games before this. We also had a striker who needed a game, and Wigan were the perfect opponent. We also needed to rest him for the Spurs game. He's not 25 you know Yes, he got no service today, but he should have never started in the first place.

Ok, please explain us his subs. Kalou>Romeu Why? Lampard and Meireles were woeful. I know they're more attacking than Romeu but they were so AWFUL we could have been playing with 9 men. Mikel>Mata Understandable, but should have never happened. Romeu should not have been subbed in the first place. Malouda>Sturridge No explanation needed. This guy has nothing on Carlo yet. I said this at the start of the season and everyone said "agh Carlo is so shite, AVB is a tactical genius etc" He can't even get proper adjustments right, these can be made by common sense

Well obviously what he thought about Drogba was wrong in this game, as he did the square root of fuck all throughout 90 mins

Well obviously what he thought about Drogba was wrong in this game, as he did the square root of fuck all throughout 90 mins

That's the worst part of it all. NOBODY on the team showed any kind of work rate. It was just about the laziest, most pathetic performance you could come up with.

0/10 If players were tired Why did Drogba start ahead of Torres Why did Cole start ahead of Bertrand Why did Meireles start ahead of Josh Why did bosingwa start over luiz

AVB is a tactical full retard of the highest quality. He has a great eye for players (mata, Romeu, etc) but he is a terrible, terrible manager in terms of tactics. 1. High line, this has cost us a lot this season 2. First team selection, why was Torres not started?? 3. Subs, why would you fckuking take off Sturridge and put on Malouda, kalou, mikel His ideal job should be a scout IMO.

This guy seriously needs to fuck off with his subs and starting 11.

eat shit AVB for your subs

Today AVB subs = woeful

50m We can't trust him to start against Wigan We can't trust him to even come on against Wigan to get ten minutes. Only at Chelsea
