Other than playing mata on the right that would be my team. Of course they all drift around anyway, so it doesn't really mata ( ). Lost a bit of confidence after last nights game however i think we will see a different team on sunday, and can get a result. If we were away i would take a point right now, but at home and seeing that their defence is more shaky than ours i think we can give this a real go, especially if we have mata oscar hazard and srurridge which would be a much better attacking threat. We all know the team will be what you wrote with torres in for sturridge though...

A bit harsh. I agree that sturridge deserves to start as he has shown in his very short appearances he can offer us something more than perhaps torres can. Don't really agree with the rest tbh. Yes he is playing pretty badly and it is very frustrating at times to watch, but it is unfair to actually want him to leave as he is putting in the effort, but is just not producing the final result. RDM picks him and torres does what he can. I think we are all passed the "torres will become what he once was phase", but he still has a role to play, especailly with us only having 2 recognised strikers.

He has been so key in recent weeks i probably would have rested him for sunday. Easy to say now i know after we have lost, but yeah he didn't really turn up as did a fare few of our players. Hazard was probably the best of our "AM TRIO", though he was far from exceptional which is saying something. The biggest thing we could take out this game is that perhaps we are too reliant on one of them stepping up, and be the game changer. At the start of the season it was Hazard, then oscar did his bit vs juve etc and mata has been the man in recent weeks. Obviously today none of them looked close to their best but that is when you want the striker to stand up and create something out of nothing which i feel sturridge will offer us more than torres will.

Yep, better to do it in small amounts (depends what is small to you of course), i try and pick a target then if a get to it i take 75% out and do that, then it doesn't get bad. Some people end up losing some then increasing the amounts to try and make up for it and that never ends well.

Well looks like we both lost. I only lost a fiver as i just do it to mess about and if i get to 40 i withdraw most of it, but shit happens...

Its not the end of the world. We played badly. Everyone has a bad game at times. They hadn't been beaten there in 32 games. Its not like we just lost to nordjaelland (no offence as they are clearly better than they are made out) they are a good team with a good quality striker, something that in all fairness we didn't really have tonight (however quite a few players didn't turn up so we cant just through the blame all to torres). We are still top of the league and second in our group. If we can get the win vs shak at home then we can go away to juve knowing a point would do, which is more realistic than going there needing to win. Thats assuming we beat nordsjaelland at home, though tbh, if we get ourselves in a position where we need to win that to qualify there is very little chance we should mess that up. Bottom line... It could have been better but it could have been a hell of a lot worse, and nordsjaelland has done us a mighty favour.

The ref should have added on more time, but we can still play this other at home and we are still second in the group. Tonight could have been at worse. We have done well in the prem, we should chalk this up to a bad game and move on.

Come on. Let's go. Ultra offensive.

He is playing as a lone striker, u would love for him to be a greedy striker. I don't like him being greedy when at rw, but when he is at striker, fire away.

Nord taking a point is still good for us. Just mean we will need to get a result at juve as well as beating shak and nords at home.

Come on nords hold on for us.

Well if this is the bad game we have to have it am glad we got it out there way but not exactly the preparation we want ahead of our hardest game of the season.

That's better. Come on lads.

Well we wasted 16 Mins but he is on now. Bit late though. Hopefully he can be our dzeko.

Cech

Thank Fuck for that. Take off torres

I love u RDM but seriously put sturridge on... What are we waiting for? Christmas?

Well that is some good news.

Daniel sturridge NOW

Fuck sake

Hazard just needed some Eva loving.

Don't think this is Oscar is playing that badly, he made a mistake when Cech made his wonder save, but isn't our biggest problem right now. We know the ability of all 3 together and we need someone to convert the chances they will create at some point. Might just need RDM to give them a good talking to and hopefully we will have a different Chelsea come out in the second half.

Could have been worse, and we are still very much in this. Rdm will go nuts at them and in the second half weeks should be greatly improved. Really wish we would put Danny on though.

We gotta take torres off. When we get our chances we need someone to take them and sturridge seems he would be more likely. It's got to a point where if torres ever gets 1 on 1 I have very little confidence he will score.

Cech keeping us in this...
