Disappointing result indeed,we had the golden opportunity to go 4th.To be honest,when compared to other teams contending for the 4th spot,we are the least deserving ones in terms of football quality.We have some great individuals in the team but are unable to play as a team and this will definitely cost us,especially when we play against Barcelona. Once again,I thought the opposition played better than us and deserved the point they got.As for Chelsea,I can't really expect anything from them.They do the unimaginable by beating Napoli and yet they can't get past through teams they are expected to beat.

Risse own goal more likely and realistic.lol

I am just glad he didn't headbutt him.

Today they will play like Men.

I like RDM's tactics.He is a very intelligent manager and am glad he chose to play Raul as the CAM rather than choosing Lampard.Raul is more effective as a CAM than DM because his natural game is to play forward and he seems to have a good partnership with Torres.Kalou also plays well with Torres so the three of them should capitalize upon their understanding and score atleast one goal otherwise I'll be very dissppointed with the trio. A win is a must and no excuses will be entertained.

I don't care how we play today,just want the 3 points.

Scored a brilliant goal today.Could have easily passed to one of the players up ahead but chose to go solo and score.Here's the goal- http://www.101greatgoals.com/gvideos/hatem-ben-arfas-brilliant-solo-golazo-for-newcastle-v-bolton/

Now you can see why SAF was really interested in him.Glad that we snatched him from them.lol

Good to know that Bosingwa will never play left back for us again.

Must be because of Spurs.

Many want Mata to be rested for this game but I feel that his presence will be needed on the pitch so that we get those 3 precious points.Don't want him to play the whole 90 minutes because I am sure he won't be able to but he should definitely start and play for around 60 minutes.Lampard(if fit) should come on for him or else moving Raul to the CAM position and bringing in Essien wouldn't be a bad idea.

Fulham are in good form.They totally outplayed Bolton on Saturday and will look to carry on the momentum today.Chelsea haven't been really playing their best football but I am sure fatigue will affect Fulham more than us and hopefully we can snatch a win and get the 3 points we require and not take it as 3 points deserved.

Realistically,I don't see Romeu and Lukaku getting the nod for this game.Will most likely be Torres for the center forward role and Mikel for the dm role hes mastered so well.

I wouldn't mind Torres and Drogba playing together but the only problem that will result from this would be the exclusion of Ramires in the team and I doubt RDM will ever drop him.I remember Danny was dropped after his miss against WBA and I think the same should happen to Ramires as well.For the game against Fulham,I would keep Ramires on the bench and play Mata,Kalou,Drogba and Torres.The reason why I picked Kalou was because he and Torres seem to have formed a kind of understanding and as a result are playing well together.

I agree,he wasn't great today but he certainly has improved and is playing better than before.Played as a right winger and got many chances to score but unfortunately just couldn't.Looks more confident and motivated and hopefully will end the season with more goals than assists:p

Okay,so Danny is a center forward and yet is forced to play as a winger.Now when he has been doing quite well for us as a winger,he is forced to sit on the bench because the manager favors Ramires and Kalou for the winger roles.When he does play he gets to play only for 60 minutes or so and gets heavily criticized by fans from his own club. Yeah,I wouldn't blame him if he decides to leave Chelsea in the summer.A move to Arsenal would be a great Fuck You to Chelsea.

He played quite well against Villa and has had limited chances under RDM because he favors Ramires for the right winger role.Lets not also the forget the goals he has scored for us THIS season and his performances for Bolton last season.

Obviously I wouldn't.Points wont be awarded for creating chances,we must finish them and Chelsea need to improve upon that.

Finally,a true Chelsea fan here.

Neither Is Danny and yet he is told to play as one.

Nope I am not mad.I am not sure you saw the same game as we all did.Chelsea didn't deserve to win and yet they did.Don't get me wrong,I am not sad that we won but we should have won with more conviction.The first goal was clearly offside and Wigan scored an absolute beauty of a goal and certainly deserved a point from this game. Great determination from us in the end but overall not a great performance.

I don't understand why many of you are critical of Sturridge.We all know what he's capable of doing and he is going through a rough phase.We all supported Torres when he wasn't playing well,why can't we all do the same for Danny?

The good news is that we won't need to play Kalou or Malouda as Torres looks more confident as winger than as the lone striker.Imo Drogba and Torres should start against Fulham.

I agree,Wigan were by far the better team.
