Strike

A Moutinho or a Cabaye like figure ws needed in mid to keep pushing the ball towards the amigos. rarely do teams play 2 defensive midfielders and we are suffering due to that.

5 yellows?

Cech Azpilicueta Ivanovic Cahill/Luiz Cole Mikel Ramires Hazard Mata Marin Torres ( ) should do the job.

Benitez task - get us top 4 and f*** right off. Only Jose and Pep will be trusted by Roman now

laura made the point the most disappointing thing during all this is that the season is now derailed Due to Rafa coming. under rdm, we were talking of a title challenge but the sacking and the subsequent hiring of Rafa has failed to invigorate the club like previous mid-season managerial changes - avram(not a perfect example), hiddink and di matteo. appreciate roman on one thing. he'll not let us become arsenal at any cost. none of the "top 4 is good enough" nonsense but ultimately, we have shot ourselves in the foot this season. rafa needs a win and soon because he has come in and made us defensively compact but 4 shots(?) in 180 mins of football AT HOME is just pathetic. against ManCity, the David Luiz free kick was the only shot we had. Rafa brought up the Bertrand experiment again. We tried and failed with it earlier in the season. not saying di Matteo was a great manager but he knew the club. we were heading for a top 4 finish. that was the season objective before guardiola or someone comes in the summer. what is done is done and i hope the club doesn't panic-buy anyone expensive in January and just wait till the summer to sort the mess out because we are not a good team now. we just have a bunch of talented individuals

@, yeah probably...and btw - DuckDuckGo

i have no idea what you're talking about

different countries, different domains. as u see, a lot of Indian members here

talkchelsea has a high position on Googling "Chelsea forum"

i noticed. 2 first team strikers is just nowhere near enough

YOLO Seriously. 2 strikers is nowhere near enough throughout the season. look at the firepower City and United have. i mean, we get stuck in a game, we don't have an option to throw on. no target man, no one to run the channels. no one to f******g finish ffs. We need a striker and soon

This has unsettled the team for yet another season. benitez going back to bertrand in midfield again. what a joke.roman should have gone for benitez from the start of the season itself.... all a bit chaotic right now --> one of the main reasons for the roman bashing

I thought we were playing better football under RDM itself. AFTER hiring RDM, the board shouldn't have sacked him. Once again, we are unsettled in the middle of a season. Benitez playing Bertrand in midfield again. What a joke!

weren't we in a wretched run before beating fulham in 2010? need to win this now. Benitez era should take off soon or the pressure will only build and it's not good for the team if the fans are clamouring - "Benitez out" rather than cheering for the team for the sake of the team i hope they thump fulham and that the fans go quiet on the benitez bashing

f*** you Aussies. this is like the 3rd or 4th game not aired here

i think i maybe going to London next summer. hope to go to the Bridge then

Mind=Blown

I think i heard somewhere that Danny and Lampard are not going to be involved in this one.... looks like another 90 mins with a clueless blonde up front

not to forget kalou and malouda on the wings lol. unbelievable

torres is nearly 30 now

that idiot Steve McMahon. right old git.

against Bayern when 10 men were defending. Luiz-Cahill have been the worst combo this season. Luiz rushes out of the defence line to try and tackle the attacker while cahill backs off till the bbox to make a challenge. leaves the defence disoriented

Gutted. Can't watch this. ESPN not shwing this in India and i can't catch the repeat on Friday morning as well. can't stream as well - laggy connection . will have to follow live text ..sheesh

luiz- cahill have not looked good in a lot of games not just the juve game

yeah. he's already turned shite. can't do nothing now 12 goals in over 80 appearances for the club. we need to move on now
