If he was struggling with a hamstring injury then WTF were Ghana doing even playing him in the first place ? Playing a player who's nowhere near fit is asking for trouble.

Anelka is one of the stand outs for me. I find it hard to accept it was Avram Bloody Grant who signed him He's playing the best football of his career right now and alot of people have mentioned this. You can clearly see he's enjoying his football.

Guardian Oh Do Fuck off Platini you little cretin.......No mention of Real Madrid in your agenda eh ? Just out of curiosity.....what sort of debt are the scousers and Manure in. I know Arsenal are in a decent state due to Wenger having superglue in his pockets.

I'll take your word for that........ :eyebrows:

You're kidding right ? Ballacks first season was a nightmare.....he only started playing well in his second season if I remember correctly and that was in spurts either side of a few injuries. Hence the nickname..."Bollock" I'll agree that over the last while back he's showing why he was reguarded as a world class player when we signed him, but he's on his last legs and if I'm honset, I dont think we'll see the Ballack who was amazing for Leverkusen & Bayern at Chelsea.

He's entitled to his opinion......even though its a load of bullshit. If Ancelotti were to ask Drogba "do you want to play or sit on the bench" I can guarentee he'd want to play. Every footballer wants to play football, theres no disputing that fact. If Drogba feels like he needs a rest I'm sure he's man enough to speak up for himself.

Drogba and Anelka are well into their 30's.....its no secret the backbone of our side is built of players going into the twilight of their careers, so when we do eventually go out to buy a striker to replace either Drogba or Anelka or possibly both I think it wont matter if they're an established world class striker or not. I know every signing is a gamble and as Matterz mentioned, Sheva was a disaster. He was expected to carry on his Milan form and it failed to happen, so that makes you wonder does it really matter if we sign someone with experience. If a player can adapt to life in the Premiership then we'll be onto a winner. Liverpool took a chance on Torres and its paid off. Could someone like Aguero or Dzeko do the same for us ?

Its only a confidence thing imo. That being said....it is having a knock on effect on the defence as it his uncertainty when the balls in the air which is making the defence having to second guess what he's going to do. If they knew he was going to come charging out and clean everyone in front of him that would be fine, but he's not doing that. I dont like seeing keepers come out and punching the ball either. Theres too much risk involved in that as it could go anywhere. I like to see a keeper come out and take the ball cleanly in his hands and take the pressure off the defence. I'd have him spending extra time in training being in that sort of situation with balls constantly whipped into the box for him to claim with a few other players around him to get his confidence up. theres no denying his shot stopping ability....he's still as good as he ever was....its the flapping which is giving us concern.

Jesus H Christ.......you're such a miserable bastard even when you're saying hello. Welcome back to the forum Basem.

That was a very hard fought 3 points. I wonder what Ancelotti said at half time. We came out in the 2nd half with a rocket up our Gary Glitters. I dont uderstand why Drogba will miss an extra game due to his yellow card. If he was injured the suspension would still have taken effect.........no ? So why is it different because he's playing in the ACON ?

FUCKING YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

He's been subbed off....is everyone on their stupid pills today ?

Try opening it in Firefox....it may not work with IE

He's a left back.....that might be the reason

:getyou: Handbags ladies......

I thought it was quite obvious....

And the ball drops to Mikel..... :getyou: Someone ask for a link ? http://iraqgoals.net/4629-Chelsea-vs-fulham.html

He frustrates me too, but thats a bit OTT

It was a full size pitch and we may not have used the full thing, but these guys are professional players and should be able to cope with 2 games in a few days. We're not in a position to be playing "back-up" players right now. We need our best players on the pitch as often as possible.

I'll agree with that. When I was younger I'd have played from I got up till it was dark. I usually didnt get out of bad until 6pm but still.......... Ancelotti should be tearing strips off everyone at the break. Another 45 mins of that is just not acceptable. I know Fulham are a tough nut to crack and their results recently back that up, but we're supposed to be going for the title. We've lost so many stupid points in the last few weeks and need to get our act together......FAST

I'll second that....woohoo....Bandicoots mum :eyebrows:

Fulham are making us look ordinary. Just goes to show what good organisation can do for a team full of average players. Drogba needs to stop fucking about and get his game head on.

We need to get Zhirkov and Ferreira more into the game. Theres nothing out wide and we're running out of ideas going through the middle.

Fuck sake lads sort it out....we're very sloppy in midfield. Too many loose passes.
