Better by Lamps and Rammy

We have no platform to get posession and counter that is what we need, we need to break up there play and counter quickly ,the feed into our forward players is too slow and sideways.

Mikel is useless under pressure again.

Well played Rammy win the ball and a counter is on .

No he is a good bloke ,just a shit footballer ,terrible tonight in a game that is made for a player who we are told protects the back four? break up attacks and spring us on the counter,it never happens.

You are sh1t Mikel

Mikel is awful terrible passing already get him off

We need a sub ,but Torres has already come on , I would swap bring Rammy into the holding role and get Hazard on ,we are letting them get at us throuh the middle,nobody is breaking the play up and Mikel is the obvious player to make way ,he is not at the races,lets see what he does?

Our great players did the business at West Ham but today is the day we need our holding midfielder who protects the back four to come into play ,Maka would have loved this game ,but now we have a passenger in there ,he is awful that clumsy foul for the free kick summed him up ,he is in no mans land ,get him off Jose !!!!

Mikel needs to be subbed he has been a passenger a perfect night for someone who we are told protects the back four Maka would have excelled tonight and now we have a passenger ,he is being walked over and is in no mans land .

"Too slow and square" " Chelsea's build up is too slow when he plays"

Glen Hoddle another one who has him sussed . Perfect summary . Play forward when you can feed the three ,just like Lampard for the Oscar goal at West Ham .

Lampard has not had a bad run ,Jose knows this ,it is you who is just a fanboy and has no structured meritocrasy are you a communist? He is twice the player your fanboy fav is in the pivot,look at our first goal on Saturday with the quick FORWARD first time ball from the pivot (Lampard) Mikel NEVER does that.

Goals, Lampard 2, Oscar 1 Penalties won Oscar 1, Lampard 0 Passing - Lampard 85%-Oscar 71%, Key Passes-Lampard 4, Oscar-3 Crosses-Lampard 33%, Oscar 0% Long balls-Lampard 3/3, Oscar 1/1 Tackles-Oscar 7, Lampard 3, Fouls-Oscar 3, Lampard 0 Interceptions-Lampard 1, Oscar, 0 Dribbles-Lampard 1, Oscar, 0 Clearances- Lampard 4, Oscar 1 Dispossessed and turnovers- Oscar 4-, Lampard 0 Statistically, Lampard had a much better game and in reality yes, he was excellent. Both whoscored and Sqwaka gave Lampard easily MOTM and he would have had so even without his second goal. You also act as if Oscar created things by himself as if Hazard's beautiful flick didn't sent him alone on net. (Lampard's pass set that up BTW) . Oscar is also a fine pick for MOTM, he was great, but I'm sick of people always downplaying Lampard's play. (For Lampard, great games become good games, good games become mediocre games, and mediocre games become awful games)

What did the forum learn on Saturday - form is temporary ,class is permanent ,the shirt was always his, once the special one came back ,the new contract will be announced soon, watch this space.............................................................and the more forward role should still be his ,how many more goals would we have scored this season especially away from home where we have struggled, with him in his normal role?

Slow sideways passes are not what we need ,look at our first goal on Saturday a quick straight ball from the pivot by Lampard to Hazard before the defender could close and a flick by Hazard to Oscar and a goal ,it could have been like West Ham last season without that ,he did nothing on Saturday our top players won that. Jose has said he only has his uses in certain games ,so how is the shirt his?

Luiz till has time to wise up and his attitude where he likes to act the fool and has a laugh needs to change ,when Frank LeBouef frist came to England he had similar faults to Luiz I remember Wimbledon giving him a lesson,but he did listen and learn and became a proper ball playing centre half with the emphasis being on centre half.

No that is fact.

What a load of bollox that is

A ball playing centre back needs to be a proper centre back before he can be a ball playing centre back.

You are right Oscar was a decent call ,only one MOM though . What happened to all those stat graphs?

Just shows you how wrong people can be, Lampard was man of the match by a dist. every stat shows that except the good old Talk Chelsea stat .

Agree about Carlo and his decision to announce the team to the press (who could not believe their luck) on the friday before the game ,seemed to be more like the actions of a novice manager than one of the best in the world ,Jose just strings the filth in the press along and uses them ,that is all they deserve as they give us no respect and will stir the sh1t for us with joy given the chance .

I will leave that to Jose but it will not be hard to improve on Mikel and our team will function a whole lot better and be more consistent without the terrible lapses like at West Ham last season when we were murdered in the second half when West Ham put pressure on Mikel,

He had an easy time ,put him under a bit of pressure and he is gone and all the team have ti sit and help him do his job like in our Champions League victory (even Drogba had to come back and help and last season at West Ham he was murdered by Diame when Lampard did not play ,so who did Mikel make look good at West Ham last season? Lampard or Diame , The truth is when our top players like Lampard perform like on Saturday they can overcome mediocre/rubbish players like Slobi ,when they are off form and we rely on Slobi ,Diame mureders us and we get hammered by West Ham ,he had it easy on Saturday ,put him under pressure and he will fold ,this protecting the back four is laughable and the slow sideways rubbish passes with (spins ) gets us nowhere fast. He was carried on Saturday by our class players and did nothing.
