Looking forward to seeing him get some game time next season. Hope we keep hold of him, wouldnt mind him and Josh becoming our "Terry and Lampard" in the hopefully near future

Haha its Puyols reaction that makes me laugh

Thank you for correcting me, its actually £68 from the Chelsea Megastore to get a adult sized kit, with the badge and Ramires on the back.

The problem is the need for success. When Drogba was away, Torres wasnt scoring, Lukaku who is a proven goal scorer wasn't even given a start or two. Yes he played in a league not as well known as the Prem, but the jump from Anderlecht to Chelsea isnt really that big. He is a massive player, throw him in the box and let Mata cross for him or even try 4-4-2 with him and Sturridge upfront. I would rather we tried this for a year than sign Hulk for 85 mill and then have him Tevez or Robinho us when things dont work out.

While he may be our saviour now, I still think he should resign the post at the end of the season. Roberto is a Chelsea legend and to preserve that status him taking over as manager would just mean when he has a poor run of form, all he has ever done for the club will be forgotten and thrown out the window and he will be sent packing.

I voted for Ross Turnbull.

So am I the only who gets annoyed at Adidas and their lies about this "kit making you more aware, improving speed" and all that crap to justify the £65 price ?

Right, first of all this isn't a "F**k Frank Lampard" thread. This is just me wanting to know peoples opinions on Lampard. Like every reasonable Chelsea fan, I liked Frank Lampard. I chose to say liked and not like for a reason. This season has maybe swayed me and made me realise he has become a problem that needs to be dealt with. I appreciate that Lampard is our legend. Will always be remembered as that. And rightfully so people have said, he is Chelsea's equivalent to Ryan Giggs, Gerrard etc. But is he really ? Lampard has scored 10+ goals for consecutive seasons now and some of these goals have saved us and got us the three points, so yes he is a valuable asset. However, lets look at Giggs, yes he is a scum bag but ever since he realised he was past 33 he changed his game, stopped going for goals in a sense and became a valuable creator for United. Something Chelsea has lacked this season. If Lampard maybe passed to Torres, Drogba Sturridge, created those opportunities that Giggs and Gerrard do for their team would we be in this position ? I am not blaming Lampard for our downfall obviously but I am however questioning if he is maybe part of the problem Chelsea has created in a sense. Obviously it isnt all up to Lampard but in my opinion. I would much prefer in the summer, we say our farewells to Lampard as a first teamer. Jamie Carragher, was effectivley replaced by Skrtel and Kelly and not once did he complain to the media about it. He accepted it and you now see him on the bench coming on as a sub etc. This whole "old guard" crap needs to end. We all wish to see Torres firing on all cylinders again, we all dream of one day seeing Terry lifting up the Champions League. But can we really do this when the heart of our attack we have a player like Lampard. If anyone remembers last season, Chelsea v Blackpool away, in like 45 minutes, Lampard made maybe 2 passes to Torres. Giggs however makes on average 17 passes per half to who ever is leading Uniteds attack. Once again, I mean no disrespect to Lampard but at this current moment in time, I ask the question, "Does Chelsea still need Lampard?"

Will Eva Carnerio be staying though, thats all that matters at a difficult time like this.

If we miss out on the top 4, do a squad overhaul and stop this whole "players run the club" crap and perform well in Europa, Leauge and Domestic cups next season I will be happy.

Anyone else miss the days when we scored for fun against teams like Wigan and promoted sides ?

I much prefer De Bruyne to Malouda. And I bet he can cross better than Bosingwa

Considering Demba is 1 tackle away from possibly never playing again its a big risk to take. His career nearly ended when he had a screw inserted in his leg and he plays while in pain and takes longer to recover. Our game play doesn't really suite him unless we change our tactics and just flood the box with crosses. But we all know this isnt gonna happen as we have the likes of Bosingwa doing the crossing. I wouldnt mind him if he was on loan, but never as a permanent Chelsea player.

So whats effectively a replay of the 2010 final doesnt get shown on TV but Peterbrough v Sunderland does...

Why cant we convert Van Aanholt or Bertrand to RB

It looks like our usual 4-3-3, with Mata Torres and Ramires.

As much as I hate to watch our performances now, I feel that if we let AvB manage us for 5 years, we would actually achieve so much, in terms of youth progression, better football and possibly the Champions League.

I would love to see us a play a 4-1-3-2 with Cech in goal. Bertrand, Terry, Luiz and Bosingwa (Only because they is no1 else, if only Branislav was fit) Romeu playing the Romeu Role, with Ramirez, Mata and Miereles infront of him. Torres and Sturridge playing as the two main strikers, non of this winger crap as we dont have anyone good enough. And we muscle our way through the middle like the Chelsea of old.

For me it would be Hazard, Pepe, Canales ( Imagine a future midfield of Josh and Canales) and Demba Ba. People can say what they want about Demba Ba, but he is a poor mans Drogba.

We need a striker like Tevez or Rooney. Ability wise, someone who has a 100% work rate from kick off till the last minute. Someone who drags our lazy excuses of players into the game. Even if we had Tevez on a 2 year deal I wouldnt mind.

Only highlight of my day was former Blue Scott Sinclair scoring and keeping Tottenham at Bay. I know we arnt gonna win the league now and I have accepted that. I now just wish we come in the top four, preferably ahead of Tottenham

Would be brilliant if Hutchinson made an appearance today
