Santiago.

If he had his "tactics spot on" we would have saw essien ramires and a romeu midfield

Napoli excelled in wide spaces, Stamford Bridge is very narrow, Romeu must play, still have a feeling we can edge it

Carroll scores goals, Torres may be a better footballer, but we bought him to solely score goals, he has failed in that department, fact is, we are on a 4 game losing streak against Liverpool, i fail to see how we got the better deal

Considering our dominance in attack and possession, i actually have high hopes for the away leg, considering defence shows up and AVB realizes his Portuguese duo's are shit COYB!!!!!!!! LETS DO EM 3-0!!!!!!!!!!

I don't get it? Are they Napoli and Chelsea fans? Thought this was a Chelsea support forum?

---------------Torres------------ Sturridge----Mata-------Ramires -------Essein--------Romeu------- A.Cole---------------------Ivanovic ----------Luiz--------Cahill---------- ----------------Cech------------------ With our current options, this imo would be the best fit

Actually excited to witness it, We'll might actually pass City's spending amount Wilkins: AVB should follow Fergie Under-fire Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas should learn from Sir Alex Ferguson's handling of his senior players, according to Ray Wilkins. http://www.football365.com/premier-league/7538270/Wilkins-AVB-should-follow-Fergie Good read

Catalan or Catalonia, i'm not basing judgement or anything. Simply claiming that the majority of my 'Spanish' friends support Madrid or Valencia, while the Hispanics "Latinos" Support Barca, least in the states.

Ashley Cole "told AVB, 'I came here to win medals and trophies, but I'm never going to do that with your tactics'." Is this statement true?

Replace Ramires with Romeu, For our squad to be proper again, Ramires needs to be the worst midfielder we have

Better than a broken toe

Or Barca fans, Christ. The Majority of them in the states are Latino's, while only the True Spanish i know support Madrid and Valencia.

----------Sturridge---------- Kalou----Mata----Ramires ------Essien--Romeu------ A.Cole--------------Ivanovic --------Luiz--Cahill----------

Mata was playing central, there was alot of space but lack of movement from the wing players and CF which caused Mata to look like a fuckin dumbass at times. Drogba gets on my nerve when he is smiling like a fuckin bafoon after the game, like he believes we won and how he believes he played well.

If we lose against Birmingham and are out of every cup, i feel for the worst for AVB will be inevitable

You're smoking some good shit

Turning into a bunch of passionless pathetic cunts who's wages combined could end world hunger

Fuckin hell nvm, thought he was at the 29 range. Mixing up ages with players. His main key is lack of consistency as well as his lack of being picked up at international level. He would be a gamble, then again he would walk into our first team.

He's as old as Torres i believe, this will be his last good season. Our aim for forwards should be either Hulk, Cavani, or Falcao

It's a mystery that, He's a possession minded midfielder i believe, other than that he has no talents other than occasional long range shots

The most painful thing to realize is this A 15million Squad vs A 200 Million Squad Pathetic

Peace

Would Mourinho lose the locker room? Would Benetez? Shocking to think

Drogba- Pathetic display from a Veteran let alone the Captain of the squad. His performance was dreadful whether it was his bad touches, losing the ball, and his lack of pace. His motivation is absent and seems more happy that distraught after defeats, a common thing that has been appearing ever since the double in 2010, where Drogba was actually hungry. Age, has finally gotten over the Machine. 5/10 Mata- The only bright light on our Club, his movement off the ball was brilliant as on the ball. Though his defensive abilities weakens him, he was involved in every transition which thrived at playing Central. Negatives on the performance, missed open passes and plays caused by frustration or lack of focus, still undoubtedly the best performance from our Club. 7.5/10 Sturridge- Pressure got to him, at times performed well, but his lack of tracking back weakens him. Selfishness as well playing as a RW gets through to him which causes any sort of counter attack to fail. Average performance. 6.5/10 Miereles- Confused, lack of focus, not balanced, as well as under performing consistently. Though he is not a natural holding midfielder, his display was at the up-most pathetic, whether losing the ball, miss marking, ball watching, he looked like a championship player. Why he continues to start is beyond me which is a key figure in why our midfield has been shit the whole season. Creativity inept if that is even a phrase. Defensive abilities absent, was a sole reason in our defeat. 4/10 Ramires- Misplaced passes, lost the ball consistently, unbalanced, was absent throughout the game. One of his worst performances i have ever witnessed, yet again, he is not a natural DM, reasoning for putting him there, yet again, beyond me. Missing his target from 7 yards away from goal over the bar, missed passes, absent in transition, pathetic marking, one of the worst performances ii have ever seen from him. 4.5/10 Malouda- Better than i expected, still not a good performance. Was our only threat in crossing the ball and actually made a few attacking runs and defensive runs, was our best midfielder aside from Mata, and that's fuckin sad. He put up an better than expected performance, but what the fuck do you expect from a veteran. 5/10 A.Cole- Came without warming up and injured, better than expected performance. Though he lost his marker at times, goal line save, and was involved in the attack, he yet again shows why he is a veteran and always gives 100 percent. His performances was below average, but given the circumstances, he performed on top of it. 6.5/10 Luiz- ​Stong character in defense, made important defensive saves, but his continuous act of immaturity continues to cost us. Was more of a threat in the attack than Drogba. 6.5/10 Cahill- Yet again, he is brought up in the most difficult situation. Debut for Champions league with an unform team, pressure got to him massively. Showed signs of potential, but performed below average as expected given the conditions. 5/10 Ivanovic- Strong and Brute in the first half, was a powerfull figure and looked remarkable. After the second goal got to him and performed terribly in the second half, losing his marker, misplaced passes, another Veteran in which the pressure got to him. 6.5/10 Cech- Saved our assess in the most part of the game, boosted up moral and confidence for the defense, but showed absent. Poor individual performance for the last goal, fact of the matter is, saved us from it being 6 or 7-1. 7/10 AVB- Yet again shows his inexperience and inept tactical ability to all of Europe. His illogical decisions have cost us almost every game, he thinks rationally and does what he wants to do, not whats best. Making rash decisions that shows the whole world that he's panicking. It's difficult to approach this game feeling as the whole world is against you, but his moral to the squad as well as his tactically ability fucked us this match. In the saying, can't make a good dish when the ingredients suck, at least make the best with what you have and that is far, fuckin pathetically far, than what were capable of doing with the squad we have. Pathetic. 4/10 Team performance- In the greatest amount of respect, loyalty, and love for this club, this was absolutely pathetic. No unity, no stability, no composed players, no focus, no creativity, no leadership, no moral, no character, just fuckin nothing. Worst performance i have ever witnessed in European competition from Chelsea. Shaky defense, unbalanced midfield, and shooting blank forwards. There is no chemistry within anywhere in the squad, no where. A bunch of Individual mistakes and lack of focus from everyone cost Chelsea the game. Simple as that. There was a better performance in the second half, still not enough to rate it highly. We are still in this cup and we need to fuckin put our shit together to pull this through. 4/10

AVB deserves the blame, not all of it, but deserves it. The team that was out, should of been the team that started. The commentators, the fans, as well as the players knew it before the match, except AVB,
