Stats

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!

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

I would rather even see Moses here and I am sure if Lukaku is recalled he would look the much better part. It is embarrasing how Sunderland managed to score like 3/4 past them yet we can't score 1 goal against them at home without their key defender, Hangeland

Can't wait to see the fuckin excuses Benitez has for Torres after this? How long is he going to get into his deluded mind that Torres can't be in the starting 11 at the club anymore

I refuse to accept anything other than a win especially when you have Hangeland suspended. Regardless of result it is clear that it has been a very poor performance. We have big issues to address because we are losing form dramatically.

....... But where is the goals coming from?

Would have him 100% over Torres. Stronger, faster, more potential and most importantly knows how to SCORE!

Well Lukaku is certainly proving himself. Scoring, another goal tonight unlike shitty Torres

But it is not like Fulham are a team with flying fullbacks. They are likely to enter a defensive approach and I was hoping if he was going to rest one of the 'three amigos' Moses would come in for this game, not Bertrand ffs. Really surprised.

Realistically who is going to buy Torres? If Atletico sell Falcao they are not going to do in exchange due to their financial troubles. They will want the full £48-50m and if they get the money and buy another striker as people have mentioned they most likely will pursue Cavani or someone. Also even if we get Falcao in January, which I doubt, the likelihood of Torres leaving in January IMO is zero, we will have to wait till the summer. But Falcao or Cavani I will take any of them. IMHO I think Cavani may be more suited here but I would equally take Falcao.

Well first half yes, second half the fans greatly improved though.

He has not been out of place in any game he has played this season. I hope he is a permanent starter there at RB over Ivanovic as is your natural kind of RB you want.

Scored 1 on saturday and assisted another. Was also voted as MOTM. As much as like Willian, Fernandinho is a player I would love to come here who could play in that double pivot role. Fantastic player.

Who ever voted him needs to go and see an optometrist.
