I think we should try a new tactic this game. Just a suggestion, but maybe we should play with a striker like most other teams do? Crazy, I know.

I'd like certain people to ask themselves this - If everything was the same right now, except Torres' price (Let's say we paid £10million for him), would you still be supporting him so strongly (more-so than a lot of our other players it would seem)? Or would you admit that this deal has been probably the worst one in Premier League, perhaps even football history, and admit that he needs to leave for us to improve as a club? Do people not realise that while Hazard, Mata, Oscar etc. all gel properly and build complete chemistry, Torres will be growing older? By the time they're in complete key with eachother, which I think will be around 2 or 3 seasons from now, Torres will be in his 30's. If we keep him until then, we'll then end up selling him for peanuts, buying a new striker, and then that striker will likely need to build chemistry with the trio mentioned, causing the club to stagnate yet again. No good can come from keeping Torres and chanting his name at Stamford Bridge every game more than Drogba was ever chanted or more than Terry ever gets chanted.

It looks like, to me anyway, that Piazon has more potential than Sterling, but his current ability isn't even close to Sterling's. (That may sound odd, I'm aware.) I'd compare his current ability and potential to Liverpool's Suso. His current ability is far above average though. Side-thought: I hope we use Chalobah next season in these types of games!

Oh beautiful from Azpi!

I was just thinking the same thing. I'm mostly concerned right now about the fact he's still drifting wide even though Moses is there.

Oh ffs Cahill. Stop making me love you. You're just brilliant. It just feels so good having 2 central defenders DEFEND and not seeing one casually strolling up the pitch at random times.

Shame we weren't against slightly tougher opponents. Woulda loved to see more from Azpi. Hopefully we get to see one of his trademark long throw-ins too soon! No idea who'll attack it in the box though.

What I've noticed is since Ramires can press in his central role, when we're out of possession, he forces the opposition players back at times. They then make a panic back-pass, which is then chased down by the energetic Piazon. They then either concede possession to Piazon or put it out for a throw-in for us. While Piazon is pressing and keeping them busy, Bertrand strolls behind Piazon to offer support. He can then receive the ball and relieve pressure. Bertrand then passes to the central Ramires or Romeu who feed the ball to Mata who just does his thing. We've done that a few times this game. Going from out of possession to bossing possession in a matter of seconds. I like it.

Everything Ramires is good at comes to life when he plays central. It helps our pressing game so much more as he can run around without leaving the right hand side exposed like he would when deployed as a winger.

I can't explain how much I like Bertrand. Soooo delighted that it looks like he's going to make it with us. Faultless game so far.

Superb passing from Romeu so far and I'm impressed by Piazon's pressing.

"he is from wigan so he will be shit buy hulk instead plz roman :( ". LOL. that is all.

For anyone wanting to see how Azpi, Moses, Piazon etc. performed (oh, and Romeu!), the game is being shown on Chelsea TV at 12:00AM tonight. (in around 2 hours and 40 mins for those in different timezones.) Of course just go to FirstRow to get a free streaming link.

'MON ASTON VILLA!

The commentators are wanking over Juan. Making him sound like Messi! Bit disrespectful to Mata!

About time you blonde cunt.

We're diving a lot these days. Well, compared to usual anyway. I'm pretty sure that our only divers before were Drogba and occasionally Lampard. Now Moses, Ivanovic, Marin (infamous for diving with Bremen) etc. NOT COMPLAINING IF WE GET PENS THOUGH!!!! hehehehe

I loveeee Romeu! Good to hear Moses winning a penalty too, even if it was soft.

Torres takes a shot!!!!!...Wolves throw-in...

I get a bad feeling that Di Matteo will think this game is won, take a key player off, replace him with either Marin or Luiz, and we'll somehow concede. DAMN MY PESSIMISM!

oh god, Azpi hurt?

MWHAHAHAHAHAHA THEY'VE DONE A TORRES!

Sounds like Azpi is playing like a right-back. How nice. We haven't had a proper right back in ageeees! I keep hearing "Azpi with a ball to Moses" etc. and "Azpi with the shot" etc. very very very nice.

Oh god. The radio saying "Wolves are getting cut apart" and "Chelsea are passing them to death."

WE HAVE ESTABLISHED THAT THE GAME IS NOT BEING BROADCASTED ON TV ANYWHERE TO OUR KNOWLEDGE. PLEASE MAY SOMEONE NOW POST A LINK TO A RADIO STREAM COVERING THE GAME? THANKS.
