I am sure he would have missed the penalty.Heck I doubt he would have even hit the target.

I think the reason why RDM gave Kalou some game time yesterday could be because he wants clubs to be interested in Kalou so that when he finally decides to leave Chelsea,he will get a chance to play for another top club and possibly a high transfer for the player.RDM should do the same to players like Hutchinson,Piazon etc.He should give them some 10 minute games so that other clubs will get to see their potential and then decide upon a loan move for them.Making them sit on the bench won't attract many offers.

That left foot shot of his was terrible.Many of you complain of lack of service but when he creates his own chances he doesn't take them.He takes a 1 step forward and then 2 steps back and then side passes it to some midfielder.The guy is more of a midfielder than a striker and the fact that he is not scoring goals doesn't really bother me now,its that he is a blocking a starting place for Lukaku.

Chelsea played better than how they used to.To my surprise,Mikel and Kalou had a good game and Ramires was just brilliant.His work rate and commitment on the pitch can't be matched by any of our players.I am glad he signed a 5 year contract with us.I don't if many of you noticed but a few our players like Mata,Ramires and Raul looked very irritated yesterday.The only possible explanation would be the sacking of AVB and I am sure they weren't happy with that decision. Chelsea played like a completely new team and at some times played some good football but most of the time a lot of the plays were congested with our players.Luiz played more like a sweeper than a defender,which I didn't like.Its good to know that Terry is near to full fitness and hopefully we will see a Cahill-Terry partnership against a very tricky Stoke side. I know its too early to decide about RDM's managerial skills but I think he did a great job.If he can overcome the Napoli deficit or like Arsenal show some determination and courage like they did against Milan then I don't think we should look for another manager but first, lets see how he does against Stoke.Can't judge him based on only one game but so far he's done a good job.

I think managers will come here only for the severance package.

AVB's salary was 8m but 15m a year is a lot even though he's regarded as one of the best managers in the world.

So you think Raul or Malouda is better than Lampard?If you do then you seriously need some help.

But I read somewhere that Pep wants 15m a year.Surely that's too much even for Chelsea pay standards.

He has scored 13 goals for us so far.That not good enough for you?

Maybe Lampard wasn't responsible for the sacking.Many of you are speculating that he did.

I doubt Inter are going to qualify for UCL this season.

All of you haters will start praising him if he scores tonight.

Well were going to play a championship team and not a team like Barcelona.We must outplay them.

AVB is gone,there is nothing we can do now.

This is the perfect song to describe the situation at this club.

Do we really need a manager?Seems like our players know everything there is to know in the field of football management.Heck I probably think Torres as manager would be better than as a player.

Jose's return will be a favourable in the short run but what will happen after a few years when SAF finally decides to retire?Will Jose consider the role at United?I think he definitely will and may leave us for them.Its better if we look at other alternatives.

I wasn't expecting an analysis,just meant in a humorous way as both have had a history of getting rid of managers and acting as one themselves.Both of them will realize how tough it really is to be a manager, that is if they choose to follow that kind of profession.AVB went through hell and deserved to be more respected by players like Lampard and Drogba.Its a shame that he got sacked.

I am damn sure that Chelsea didn't sack AVB just so could RDM could be manager for the rest of the season.RDM will be managing only the FA cup tie and then after some days we will get to know who really is our caretaker manager.I probably think it will be Benitez.

Why not give it to Drogba or Lampard?

I am worried about 5th place.

He gets 20m.I am pretty sure now managers would just come here to get sacked and earn BIG!

Nah,then Roman would have just kept AVB till the end of the season.More likely going to be Benitez or maybe even Capello.

Jose is going to come back and then leave for Manchester United,so probably look for another candidate.I for one would want David Moyes to manage us.
