Full season. http://www.chelseafc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10268~2869398,00.html

Then that makes you wonder, why didn't RDM look to change things? Everything was just so narrow going forward and even Hazard kept on coming inside and not even providing us some width!

Still no excuse for the performance today. Our lineup was pretty close to the full one bar Mata and maybe Marin. Also, it's funny how people have praised Marin for providing us something different attacking wise and yet, they don't have him in their starting XI... In addition, it's a bit concern that even when we were struggling in this game, RDM has hardly looked to change things around and only sticking to the original formation and plan. Even the changes were like for like.

You don't keep player in the side just for the sake it. RDM should realize that Ramires just doesn't work on the RW when our game plan is to attack the opponents and not adopting the counter-attacking approach. Ramires is only useful there if you play the ball into space for him to run with. Otherwise, when the ball is at his feet, he's not gonna beat his defender. Will just pass it backwards or sideways. And his crosses today were absolutely hopeless as well. Makes it even worse playing him at RW!

Ramires is not even a RW to begin with. RDM's persistence to play him there is becoming annoying.

All this 'have a new bunch of players' excuse is just BS. That has nothing to do with not being able to keep the ball well and defending properly. The errors that we're making are the basic ones FFS!

Yeah...when their team wins, they will be shouting from the rooftop.

How about making sure we have a solid defence so that our attacking players won't be under pressure to score? Some of the goals we conceded may have been unlucky but some of the defending before that have been utterly hopeless!

SO, where are those fellas expecting us to thrash Brighton by 4-5 goals?!!

No break for Mata?! Oh well. Glad to see him back.

That is when coverage starts on Chelsea TV. Game kicks off at 3pm, UK time.

Seems that we're gonna wear the 3rd kit tomorrow. Our bad luck color...

Since Jim is not gonna win it anyway, have changed the vote. Gone for manpe.

Let's not get there again. Otherwise, Predator is gonna come after us, again.

And Drogba's control for Kalou's first goal. Quality.

Well, most of his goals came against average opponents. No goals against the other Top 4 clubs in the Bundesliga last season.

Kalou's one and only hat-trick at the club. Much better days for us in the league.

He has scored before for them in cup competitions. Just yet to in the league. And heard Liverpool were awful against the mighty Gomel from Belarus.

I believe that was from a fake Twitter account. Pathetically annoying when fans create stupid quotes like that.

Since the historic CL Final thread has been locked... OUCH! And 3 days ago, Hoeness said "Gomez is good, but not very good.".

Sorry for the quadruple post(if that is even right) but Sky Sports have reported that Thorgan only costs us 880k.
