Playing them together is way too slow, I would like to see Mikel/Romeu alongside Ramires and give either Moses or Sturridge a chance on the right wing. Lampard is a legend but i think his time is up, maybe he can act as an impact sub like Giggs is at United.

It might do him good, if he plays well and gets game time, which he should as Diarra has gone, he can come back to us rejuvenated.

Midfield pivot is an issue, but i think our defence is good enough. Its almost impossible to defend against a fast break and Atletico constantly outnumbered us on the break. As the defence had to move quickly due to the pace of the attacks, space was created and if you give a striker of Falcao's quality space he will score. This is what happened today.

I would of liked to seen Azpicuelta start the game. RDM must of been aware of Adrian Lopez's pace and Ivanovic could not keep up. It might of worked if we had scored first, but as we were chasing the game and Ivanovic was pushing up, we were constantly exposed.

I know he has a poor discipline record, but i would still love to see this guy in a Chelsea shirt. He is a defensive powerhouse and buying him would allow us to implement a 4-1-2-3 system, which i reckon will be very effective.

I suppose we will just have to wait and see how he does, he is only 18, maybe he can progress into a good player.

Absolutely spot on. This was a poor day at the office, but this was a pointless game. in Every game that has mattered RDM has shown he can do well.

I must admit I have seen very little of him, but that i had seen demonstrated he was a good right back. I guess the Brazillian League is not exactly the hardest though.

I want to see Ramires and Romeu play as the two holding midfielders or something like: ------Romeu------- ----Ramires---------Oscar------- with a front three of the obvious three; Torres, Hazard, Mata. We would be strong defensively and also the ball would pass quickly into attack with Ramires and Oscar acting as deep lying playmakers.

Hopefully Sturridge will get more game time now, he deserves it, I would like to see Piazon play as a striker too. My issue with midfield is that Mikel, Lampard and Merieles are very inconsistent and the other three are unproven at this level as Ramires mainly played as a right winger last year.

I just realised, how the hell is Malouda still here. HIs wages are ridiculous we should of tried to give him away for free like Deco so we can have first option on some players. It seems to have worked if we get Wallace from Fluminese the kid looks class.

There new players will take a while to settle, we could easily win 3-0 as long as we don't perform like we did today.

Shame Roman didn't celebrate his victory with a big signing.

It won't happen, as RDM seems to like 4-2-3-1, but this to me seems like our best line up

Don't get me wrong, I would of loved for Chelsea to have won the game, but at the end of the day this was a meaningless game and i would prefer such a shocking performance to have happened in a game that meant little. We were embarrassed by Falcao but were also poor in defence; the first, third and fourth goal were all caused by poor defending. Not many positives to take form our performance but as Cahill said this result was down to very poor performances rather than lack of ability.
