Stoke 0-0 Chelsea

[dalVlatko 8]

Torres and Ramires were great in the first half.

Kalou and Malouda played as poorly as expected.

[lionsden 4,689]

As far as I'm concerned we need TWO new wingers/wing forwards

[TomCFC 356]

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

[Milan 17,859]

A half of a quality English football. Nando has been superb so far, quite unlucky at the end of the half. This game has only agreed with AVB regarding the need of new players - a winger and playmaker. Exactly what we have been missing today.

[Grillinnap 129]

How far is Stoke-on-Trent from London?

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Kalou, GTFO.

[James 5,212]

Kalou, Malouda, Terry have been terrible

How's Terry been terrible?

Piss poor half from Malouda and Kalou, feel sorry for Torres in the middle.

[neel 257]

it takes unlimited amount of patience to watch malouda and kalou.

torres was quality .

[Badboy 1,526]

I am happy with that first half, we have moved the ball well and Torres is getting involved which is good. Kalou has lost the ball so many times, he kills our flow. Ramires has also played well, he makes things happen with his drive.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

We need some subs in the second half....malouda OUT!!

[HRiver 1,512]

Drogba must come on in the second, definitely. Kalou and Malouda have been really poor so far.

Torres looks focused, which is a good thing.

[Domino- 116]

To remove Bosingwa and Kalou and Drogba put Ivanovic and that will endure as the second half.

As far as I'm concerned we need TWO new wingers/wing forwards

Yeh, one would probably suffice with Sturridge their too, and hopefully we can nurture Kakuta - 2 would be great though.

[dodojojo 510]

Aside from one moment of brilliance from Ramires, zero guile and creativity again. Hello 2010-11, it's been so long since we've seen you...not.

Chelsea doesn't need to add a creative player and winger?

Torres doing all he can. And the wimpy little man is standing up well to Stokes' behemoths.

Hope Torres stays on and Josh and/or Yossi comes on in the 2nd half. A little bit of creativity please, please.

Baffling why Kalou would start. Torres, too. But he's actually played well.

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Ramires looks really sharp and stronger than last season. He could even play as a winger with that amount of speed and pace.

Clean sheet would be amazing at Britannia.

[Aesthetic Relic 301]

This will probably not happen, but I'd like to see Drogba come on and go 4-4-2.

Torres is playing well enough to be kept on, but the wide me just aren't doing it and sometimes you have to go route one. I'd haul Malouda off in an instant as he's been as much use as a chocolate teapot. Get the ball up to him asap and perhaps draw a few free kicks around the box. Stoke are sticking tight to our players so the opportunity is there to draw the foul.

A free kick could be the only way we'll win this game.

[Beast 85]

We still desperately need that creative midfielder like Modric or Nasri, Lamps has lost it.

Sturridge will take over Kalou at the right side of attack so we don't have to buy anyone there.

Malouda..No need to say anything since everyone knows how shit he is and we need to go all-out for a winger and replace this clown.

[chrismada9 1,948]

Chelsea are wailing out for some creativity, and that first half tells us all why!

We need some better width too, Malouda's shooting is laughable, and Kalou is just too slow! Would have liked to have seen Sturridge there instead of Kalou but he's not even on the bench!!
