Special Juan

OK fellow blues I feel your pain since it's 9 days until we kick a ball in anger again at home to Swansea, and it's that time we must sit through endless media coverage of how Wayne Rooney is the savior of England and how Wembley costs will never be covered with a half full stadium. Like me, your probably counting down the days until Swansea but lets look at what we learned from Everton last Saturday and what exactly did we achieve. Going to Goodison is never easy, far from it, so much so I had us down for a draw and was willing to take that in a heartbeat and run back to Stamford Bridge like a dancing gigolo after 10 pints. Little did we know we would be 2-0 up after 4 minutes, that was the first thing that immediately surprised me. The next thing was how quick we started, it's unlike us and something we have needed for a long time, we have the attacking threat to do this more often and we should. This messed with Everton and I don't think they knew what hit them. Now when a team takes a hold of a game like we did I always think the foot comes off the gas, or is it that? Do they opposing team actually think 'Shit, we best get playing here' it's a difficult one but I always felt Everton were going to come at us from the second goal onwards, and they did. I said to my lad that if we got to HT at 2-0 it's a walk in the park, and just as the words came out Mirallas towered into the sky and nodded home past Tibo with a stunning header. Now, people might say "Why think that way at 2-0 we are coasting" one word 'Momentum' When you go to places like Goodison you don't want 1. Everton fired up as a team and 2. Their crowd being buoyant and driving them on, this goal did that. Now last season I would of said we may of collapsed, not because I am negative but because of their momentum from HT onwards. I was sat in sort of a lull at this point probably due to knowing I was about spend the evening with the wife at a party when Hazard to drive at their defence and get that some what luck touch off Coleman into the net. This result and this goal was typified our attitude and mind set in this game, get at them and drive on. Then I was thinking 'That's it, job done' far from it actually, our defence at times parted like the Red Sea and we couldn't of looked anymore disjointed if we tried, which then leads me to my next point of the attitude towards conceding. A pundit on SKY once described a team as having Bouncebackability and you couldn't of made up a better word for us on Saturday, it was just that fitting to everything. I sort of smiled to myself when Samuel Eto'o scored but also wanted to punch the TV, I don't like ex-players scoring against us, it's like that after coffee taste and it's not right. Following that it was up to a certain Ramires and Mr Costa to pull the curtain down on a superb result, and not only that but despite some calamitous defending, a great performance. I don't think the midfield covered themselves in much glory but I think credit has to be given to Everton as the tempo they played at was more like Barcelona rather than a team from Stanley Park. What was airbrushed over in all of the match reaction whether it BBC or SKY was the unbelievable save from Tibo from that Mirallas flick, that's exactly why this kid is world class, that was a possible game saving moment, yet all the analysis boffins will look closer to how he may of been at fault for every goal and all the problems in Iraq. So the positives are very simple..... Fast tempo startOur ability to strike back immediately after concedingDiego Costa againScoring 6 at a potential top four side away from homeWe look very, very dangerous going forward11 goals in 3 gamesTorres has goneNegatives...... Defence was breached too easyMidfield looked lost at timesI have no worries at all that the above negatives cannot be ironed out and the positives completely out weigh the negatives. We have just overcome a huge hurdle in this Everton away game, not one team this year will score 6 at Goodison, quote me on that. Martinez and his men were put to the sword here and they won't want to come up against Diego Costa in a hurry this season, this lad looks the complete package. Let's look forward to Swansea, not long now. CAREFREE!!! SJ Click here to view the article

Very good.

He's living the dream him.

Reading around I think it maybe best if we sold Cesc, Matic, Cahill and Oscar. Next weeks victims will appear soon.

We've been used to a weak minded striker for too long in Torres, we should embrace what he has and that includes his edginess. It also works in the opposite manner too. Opponents will also think 'Shit, this guys a bit good'

That last goal against Everton is a joy to watch.

Sounds like it's going well

I think he has joined us knowing fine well he will he will be playing second fiddle, but on the flip side he has all the ability to actually push for the main position if Costa loses form or is suspended.

I think Pat Nevin should do another feature dedicated to certain Talk Chelsea members when we win, he could call it 'Over Analyse This'

But driving an open top Pope mobile.

I just like how open he is with the media and how laid back he is talking about transfers like he is in the pub.

I do laugh at Harry at times.

Stop being a pussy......oh wait

Seeing Rooney speak in front of the media in captains speak is actually one of the most laughable things ever. He ain't a leader at all.

That back heel must be worth a new contract

Ive no worries about Cesc especially after his words about how fit he feels now. As for big games I know what you are saying but that Everton game on Saturday has already said a lot for me. Nobody will go to Everton this season and score 6, nobody. Granted we conceded some sloppy goals but I am willing to be now we still finish with the best defensive record this season.

Great words.

The wife upon seeing the yellow kit weeks ago "Hate it" On Saturday "Love that yellow kit"

That's one of his best assets for me apart from his actually all round ability. He will drive defenders fucking mad this year. I punched the air with delight when he wound that Everton player up after the goal. He's our cunt.

Good thing is he fades but that's after putting three through balls in and killing the game off :blue scalf:

Remy 18 I like that

Oh he's a genius now they got Tia Maria, the Blind bloke and the winner of the Eurovision song contest.

Disaster if they don't. Maybe ed Woodwards plan all along was to win the league of big spenders and then get a good night sleep.

Great news for a top top player. This lad is gives so much on the field and his ability since he joined has totally amazed me. The board again with another top signing.
