Stats

Yeah Mata scored but I don't see why he has so many votes. He was not crap, but after his goal he done a few decent touches then was totally invisible IMO

Just remembered the buyout clause thanks. However I can't see him wanting to leave Atletico in Jan. He is quite loyal and in other words as said he wants to stay there till January but will one point want to move on. I am sure he will be an Atletico player come February.

Tbh, while I was totally against the appointment of Benitez I understand it. He is the manager in place so far so it is in the club's interest to get behind him, especially with our form atm. It is in the best interest for Chelsea to have people on the same wavelength, because it is not right IMO when the manager is getting jeered by his own fans, regardless of his tenure with Liverpool, he is our boss now and jeering him and protesting against him on matchdays does not help

Let's just get the story straight. Anyone expecting us to get Falcao in January, expect huge disappointment. There is no way Atletico, who on paper are challenging for La Liga, are in a good position and have a desperate need to reach the Champions League, are going to sell their best player. It does not make sense, they need him for their chances of qualifying for the competition because it would really help them get rid of the debts they got there. If they sell him they will be a far inferior team and will fall down the table for sure. Unless we are going to pay £100m plus for him this transfer will not happen in January. It is in Atletico's and Falcao's best interest to let him go in the summer at least.

Unbelievably bad as mine? I made a point that I thought he had it easy for him at Barca. Some of it which I still believe to be true. Many other people have that opinion, it is not a stupid post, it maybe just lacks full knowledge. You are acting as the ignorant one, not me, but yes maybe I should of acknowledge more of his work there, can he do the same at us I don't know, I have my doubts . "feed me more"

If you just replied politely without your stupid sarcastic response maybe I would take you more seriously. I acknowledged 'Corners' post already and trusted his word about Guardiola then you come with your nonsense. If you have an opinion just state it rather than trying to make someone look stupid. Does that make sense to you? Anyway finishing my point I don't think Pep would find it as easy here as he would with Barca

Fuck you!

I will take your word

I hate the way Guardiola is seen as some kind of God. I mean had RDM been managing Barca you would see him breaking all sets of records. Look at Villanova, no prior experience to managing before he took over this season and although they are doing magnificent is there not a similar story brewing... You have Messi... he does all the work for you. Villanova is breaking records with his current Barca team but I find it hard to classify him as a world class manager purely because it is Barca. That is why I don't have this urge to see Guardiola here because I am sure he would struggle. We have problems and it is clear. Even if we had stuck with Ancelloti I am sure we would be progressing now, he is a very good manager but Abramovich yet again is like a spoilt brat. I am not going to single out Benitez for the loss, there were other problems as well. I still don't think he should manage here but once we got our first win under him I am sure we may go on a run. It is worrying though that we lost to West Ham 3-1. The introduction of Diame turned the match of boys against men. Never seen a Chelsea team like this before. Worse thing is we suddenly are slowly losing our slot in the top four and eventually could easily fall out of it and we don't look like we will have the Champions League to fall back on. Our next set of fixtures all look winnable tbh but knowing the Prem anything is possible.

They have money available and sell their best players. Arsenal fans historically see success but for the recent years is starting to take a turn for the worse. They are currently 10th and something is very wrong there. The majority of fans are calling for him to be sacked. I understand that they are being outspent but the wait for trophies has been ridiculous and this season looks increasingly likely that they will fall of this season.

How annoying is it to think that if Mata had scored that second goal in first half we probably would have gone on to kill of the game

Haha imagine that, we would end up seeing a youth team in our first 11 and playing tika-tika football and then having an excuse for not winning tophies for years btu Wenger excuse would be he done what Abramovich wants and played good football. Absolutely no for me.

Our situation is not as bad as Arsenal's though. They are in 10th and lost 2-0 at home and Wenger has more boos than Benitez and has completely lost the dressing room and fans trust and for once possibly the board's trust as well. He surely will get the sack

Way we are playing I wouldnt even be surprised if we lose this

Fuck you Abramovich! You see what you have caused! Total prick, hope you reflect now you total arsehole!

Fuck you Abramovich! You see what you have caused! Total prick, hope you reflect now you total arsehole!

That is where I do agree with Rafa. RDM used the three amigos too much and I do believe he should have used Moses more. Very happy to see Hazard, Mata and Moses in today's starting line up

Despite our recent bad run of form, West Ham have not prevented us from scoring in our last 13 meetings. Positive signs and this will be a tough game but I am confident Benitez will get his first win this saturday. Their is a lot of negativity which is understandable but to the point where people are predicting us to lose etc I don't see it. It is just about us scoring past them tomorrow which I am hopeful we will do. I am going for a 3-1 victory for us.

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/8293027/Rafa-Benitez-Positive-signs-for-Chelsea-striker-Fernando-Torres This is the shit that pisses me off. We don't need to hear all this rubbish, prove it on the pitch. Benitez ios not really going to come out claiming that he is not performing in training is he? Actions speak louder than words, so prove it in on the field.

Luiz is suspended and while I can see you wanting an attacking team there is no way Benitez will play with just the 1 holding midfielder. It will definitely be Mikel and Ramires for sure. Also Sturridge is out, so Torres will once again start upfront (eek)

We are all Chelsea fans in the end of the day and want the best for the team.

Been criticized by a lot of Everton fans recently. What he done against Arsenal last night was stupid if anyone knows what I am talking about. Can improve, only 5 goals to his name this season and fans believe he is being overused. I still think he would be a decent striker here, however there are better options

You mean with all Belgians

This is actually worrying that we draw at home to a team full of many changes and who had lost their last 2 games. For a start it was a stupid, stupid decision to start Bertrand ahead of Mata. WTF? At least start Moses or Marin if you are going to replace him, especially when we are the home team and the ones who should be on the attack. Yes, Benitez sured up the defence but hello Benitez, we want goals here not your tactics that produce boring football. I thought City was a let off considering it was his first game in charge and maybe wanted to tighten things up but we were awful that game and City dominated, we should have lost but any Chelsea fan would have been disgusted with our first half performance last night. Fulham looked closer to scoring than us and that is what worries me. Tbh I think Abramovich has to learn the hard way sometimes and reflect that no manager is perfect. It is crazy to think that we have an interim manager who is not even going to be in charge next season, that is quite fucked up. Where is the stability? While RDM was on a poor run before he got sacked they were difficult games on paper, but he had the team's backing but going into this game who realistically on our team feels a total connection with Benitez, other than Torres and thus shows in performances. Abramovich mae the sacking at the wrong time and we continue to drop points. I hope Benitez manages to lift the team for the game on Saturday because I am starting to forget are winning ways. Another thing that pisses me of with some of us who IMO are too hasty with their reviews. Any game Hazard seems not to score, people say he is playing awful. The guy is 21, he many not be as good as he was at the start but that is expected, he has years ahead of him and is adjusting to a new team and he still created a brilliant opportunity for Torres this match. He is still one of our most threatening players going forward. Also while many of us think Lampard is ageing with performances, this game and others shows how much we do miss him at times, especially when looking to create and score goals. Also not to sound harsh but before people claim Benitez has fixed our defence, reconsider. Remember everyone said the same thing about Steve Bould when he apparently "solved Arsenal's defence" however they began to get caught out despite the clean sheets at the beginning of the season. Well same to Benitez. In both games he has been in charge, City on another day would have finished of, they dominated the game but just couldnt score and we got lucky. They had chances and same with Fulham who had loads of chances but missed a few and we got let of the hook. We have a long way to go to see if Benitez has fixed our defence. As people will see I am hugely unimpressed with the performance and the result, shame how things have changed considering our brilliant start, just want to move on this game and hope we can get victory a against West Ham.

I worked that out last season when he caused us all sorts of problems
