A BBC blog on the re-energised Nando (and our useless midfield). http://www.bbc.co.uk...helsea_nee.html And the man himself on the match (video interview and quotes) - http://www.chelseafc...2420400,00.html

Now their captain's abandoned them to win things at Barca. Eight years at Arsenal and one trophy.

No goal, but a MOTM performance. Great play throughout - shame Kalou and Malouda let him down. See what I said about the positivity of his memory loss?

Wrong thread, but... BAGGIES! :eyebrows:

Not the best start, but what did we expect at Stoke? Look at the positives - a great Torres, a good performance and AVB knowing we need a creative midfield. It could have been a lot worse with that ref.

We're playing better than last season and Stoke aren't an easy side, but we really should be winning.

Our new winger. :eyebrows:

Torres brilliant.

The story of today:

Nando last minute winner? :eyebrows:

Threatening.

Anelka on for Malouda. OK, but why not Kalou as well? Why not Drogs or Yossi on?

What a joke.

Wasted chance.

CL Semi-Final 2009?

Salomon Kalou-less. Some creativity (Yossi) please. Torres can't do much with two jokers flanking him.

Yossi on to actually deliver balls to Torres, surely?

Not bad at all. Torres livelier than all of last season, but Kalou and Malouda a joke. Maybe Drogs is needed?

There's an angry Portuguese bloke in the dugout...

Nicely wasted Malouda...

Safe hands Pete.

Nando lively. Nice start.

Woodwork.
