Magic Lamps

This game proved that Mourinho still got it. 1) He got Torres fired up again. Since he joined us Torres was bad, not only because he lost a bit of pace and confidence but more important his attitude. Mou has recognized with Torres it is use him or lose him. His finishing is still mediocre but he still has much more pace than most defenders and today he impressively demonstrated that. More importantly he finished good work, which he often contributes. His cross to Oscar would have been asssist if oscar had anticipated it better. Also he won many important freekicks. The sending off wasn't his fault. I don't believe he is back yet, but imagine he is. With an in form Torres we can win it all. 2) At some rare occasions, Mou really mobbed players out of the club. But not Mata. He motivated him and threw him in when he was most needed. So he produced. 3) He has steadied the defense. Apart from some individual errors we have not really conceded goals where we were naive tactically. 4) He got the communication in midfield sorted out. Lamps and Ramy both strive going forward, but the two of them only made 4 runs combined today, which were covered respectively. What remains to be seen is How will his signings Schürrle, Willian, Eto'o turn out? The former two have been purchased for way more money than they are actually worth. Would not be his first expensive transfer flops. Also we still lack goals and should be scoring more from the chances we got.

It was Mikel's man. The Lamps-Mikel pivot does not work we all know that. But we dominated Spurs for 70 minutes. You don't do that with a shit pivot.

Probably it is just another false dawn of Torres Mazacar is as many said still our best offensive lineup. But that Ramires-Lampard pivot which was unrightfully slashed so much has actually been pretty good. They absolutely had Paulinho, Dembele in their pocket.

????? Our country has produced some of the most clinical finishers of all time. His problem is rather a lack of Germanism

We were better in the 2nd half and surely would have won it, if it wasn't for some expectedly horrendous refereeing. whenever we are coming from behind to win a big match, Torres gets an unrightful red card. But where were those scare Paulinho and Sandro guys? Did not see any of them. When we had 11 men in the second half Lamps had them in his pocket.

if torres had just dinked that one. amazing run this is what mazacar can do. should play more often vertonghen has to be off Jt you king no jose no, keep mazacar together, we can win this our finishing is missing. schürrle only had to shoot that high mike dean is such a dumb fool. never never a red. once again a ref has killed the game and robbed us 3 points easily would have won this without the crazy ref. I hate refs they always fuck up games

Whatever. I don't think I have to be sorry for believing in a player. When that makes me a fanboy, so be it.

Premature. the season is still young. He will bounce back as he always does.

Just had a look at my crystal ball - they won't

We should have cashed in in summer. Could have got around 45m for him. Now he will be cheaper.

This is so sad. Especially in such a meaningless game, which we would have won with a donkey in DM. Maybe we should sign or rather recall someone now. I know numerically we have cover esp with Luiz being able to play there, but I'd rather be not forced to play Kalas at times only because Luiz has to play in midfield.

Really? I reckon s.o. like him +s.o. like Modric would be perfect for a DP.

So we are fucked. Cos Mata is no where near the quality a title-winning team's best player should be.

Willian looks slow, sloppy, never beats one single player and always gets his cross blocked. Also his shots are off target usually. Nowhere near Chelsea quality. Torres might be able to run rings around multiple league one defenders but he still remains an erratic finisher. Eto'o should play vs the spuds. Mata was pretty poor, too. The defenders just had to force him to use his right foot and the ball was theirs. The rest looked pretty decent. solid display. Should have been more goals. Special mention to Schwarzer who did not put a foot wrong.

Who is this TV for? Sürely not Schürrle ?

quite lively match. Nice offensive moves, individual skills and eye-catching tackles. A bit like a showpiece. at good as won already.

Against such a young, inexperienced but fit side, i'd much rather have Lamps's composure instead of Ramires pace. And I feel Rami will be important against Spurs, so rather rest him and have lamps play a game. he only came on against Fulham.
