Aesthetic Relic

In all fairness to Drogba, he had no service whatsoever on Sunday against Manu. He's still trying to get back into the groove in front of goal after his injury, but if he wants to go I wouldnt stand in his way.

My opinion hasnt changed. Scolari has came in and changed the whole set up of the coaching/training/tactics etc....Who else is to blame? The general feel about Grants time in charge is that the players and Steve Clarke carried the team through the season. If he is such a great manager then why hasnt any big European Club appointed him as manager? Answers on a postcard.....

Roy Keane walks his dog

He's not the same player we saw last season. I reckon Moscow has fried his noggin.

Just thinking back....... Do you realise our best chance of a goal was an effort by Drogba that went out for a throw in? Thats how bad we were. If I dont laugh I'll cry.

I was thinking I need to get more cigarettes

Wear your gear with pride. Its not your fault the manager is a muppet and the team have as much heart as the tin man.

For me the whole team deserve a big fat 0.

I said we'd get taught a lesson and we certainly did. 2 of their goals came from set pieces. Makes me wonder what they actually done on the training ground after Lampard stated that Scolari had them doing set piece work all last week. 1st goal....after a disallowed goal we switched off and werent prepared for the retaken corner. NEVER switch off. 100% concentration is a must when defending set pieces. Players on the posts.....(its been done to death on here) 2nd goal...JT appeared to duck beneath the ball after it went over Berbatovs head allowing it to fall onto Rooneys boot. JT must have a body double. Last season he'd have put that into row z. NEVER let a ball go past you in the box unless you get a shout to do so. Even at that take no risks and get it out of the box by any means possible. 3rd goal...After only coming on seconds earlier, Di Santo is left to mark Berbatov who gives him the slip and makes it 3. Why was FDS left to mark one of Manu's better headers of the ball ? We're in a very bad state and its not something thats going to go away overnight. It was boys against men. Where has the fighting spirit that we have been seen from Chelsea over th last lot of years. Its completely vanished. Even under Grant the players had a "one for all, all for one" attitude. What has Scolari done to make things so bad. Looking at the league table its deceptive. Our early season form was good to start with, but gradually we've stooped looking like a side capable of winning a match let alone a trophy. We've only taken 15 points out of 30 available over the last 10 games. I didnt see anything in that performance to make me believe that that statistic is going to change in our favour any time soon. We've Southend in the FA Cup followed by Stoke and Boro at home before traveling to Liverpool. If we dont get 3 wins going into that game Scolari deserves to be given the boot. World Cup winner or not. I've lost faith in him altogether.

I dont know what hurt more..... Actually seeing this result coming or having to sit and watch it happen. That was an appauling perfromance. I'm annoyed but not as annoyed as I maybe should be. I didnt expect us to get anything in the first place so maybe thats why this defeat hasnt got me kicking and screaming. I dont remember us having a telling opportunity the whole game. Did VDS actually make a save?

It was coming. We'll be struggling to get a CL place if we continue to play this bad.

Has Van Der Saar made a save yet?

C'mon Chelsea ffs.....at least look interested.

Fuck sake.......JT ducked out of the way.

4-4-2 ?

I'm sure theres been more goals than that conceded which could have been avoided by having someone on hte posts. After the game I might try to track them down. It'll give me something to do

Up until the goal I thought we held our own. Drogba needs to get in the game more, he's been virtually anonymous. I'm surprised Rooney hasnt been shown a card yet, He's running around kicking anything that moves.

Nobody on the fucking posts YET AGAIN How many times is this going to happen before we fucking waken up to it.

Mikel ?
