Mikel is passing poorly

Luiz has started with his stupid passes again

16th minute "ONE DIMATTEO" CHANTS Should fire our boys up :cfc: :cfc:

I have a feeling that oscar will be moved to the pivot. RB likes long balls from midfield, and the only person right now is oscar. So since ramires is a better aggressive tackler than mikel, mikel will drop to the bench. How I wish mikel was a better foward passer of the ball but just shielding the back isn't enough when we need goals these days. Anderson against qpr is a perfect example of what's needed to win matches in a tougher premier league.

I think benitez will use him in the pivot in some games

That's some nice anaysis on KDB. But he could mature in the future, I think its too early to call him back. Unless we are not getting anyone in that position. OP- INS: 1st options- cavani or falcao, fernadinho or fellani 2nd options - lewandoski or jovetic, Paulinho or bring KDB back OUT: torres, malouda

Spot on there. Chelsea have a big problem in the pivot and most people think our pivot is okay. The big problem is there is no goal threat from the pivot. No killer modric like passes or spraying passes to spread play or quicken counter attacks. The problem with lampard is that, he doesn't fit with mikel in the pivot. But I noticed our best game this season against norwich(who beat arsenal and manutd) lampard played with ramires there, and they were excellent. We were a big threat going foward with lamps timing and ramires had the speed and energy to stop counter attacks on his own. This is where mikel is worse than ramires, because he offers no goal threat(he can't shoot on target in his life) and can't give long passes. All he does is sit in front of the defence and ramires is even better than him at tackling. Because of lampards runs foward leaving mikel exposed he was dropped, but if it was ramires-lamps, the outcome would have been better as we know who the better tackler is.. You are also right that lamps is more intelligent than mikel who never sees hazard runs to try an overhead pass. Lampard would definately be better too in that department. If lampard plays with mikel in the pivot, lamps doesn't play well. But with ramires, they complement each other and could be better than the mikel-ramires combo...

The way man utd came back to be leading is what chelsea needs to learn. Freakin fighting spirit and constant pressure for 10-15mins

We can't help but dream

Qpr do a norwich for us today, and then u can be relegated

A Damn it, we have to beat mancity to stay higher than them in the league.

Chants for RDM... "Legend as player, Coached as a hero, Shirt number 16, Champions league hero" :cfc: :cfc: :cfc: KTBFFH

He's lost form because he's a little exausted. Coming from a slower tempo league to the premier league is never easy anyways. I thinks he's done well in my opinion.

Lol.... Topic change was needed from the hazard bashin though

True. Would rather take fernadinho than paulinho. We need a long ball passer in that pivot, no point in having another box to box.

400pages of a shit player and counting.....

Would love to have whatever your on, it sounds good..

Few stats Chelsea has not gone three games at Stamford Bridge without a Premier League win since December 2008, but has lost just two of its last 15 home games. The Blues have both scored and conceded in their last seven Premier League games. Chelsea is behind only Arsenal with victories against Manchester City, the Blues' 20 trailing the Gunners' 21. Benitez has only lost one of his previous 12 Premier League encounters with Manchester City and is unbeaten in his last 10. Fernando Torres scored 56 goals in 79 Premier League appearances under Benitez at Liverpool. Chelsea are without a win in their last four Premier League matches, having won seven of their first eight. The Champions League winners have conceded nine goals in their last five Premier League games. Chelsea have not kept a clean sheet in seven Premier League games. Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez has scored six goals in his last six Premier League games against Chelsea. There have been five penalties awarded in the last six league meetings between the two sides. Manchester city went 14 games unbeaten from the start of last season – a run which ended with a 2-1 defeat at Stamford Bridge.

Mikel has admitted to the charge. Damn, just too bad. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2237647/Mark-Clattenburg-latest-Chelsea-want-talks-Mike-Riley-clear-air.html
