thank God for that his fall looked horrific .

[lionsden 4,689]

Lionsden, please realize how much space played in that though. Come on. Lukaku's entire time on the pitch was with Norwich 1 man down. He'll be amazing for Chelsea but let's not anoint him startin CF just yet.

While that may be true, Lukaku's superior and intelligent movement and link up play over his competition can never be doubted. The difference was as clear as daylight.

An update on that Dider Drogba injury from Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas: "He will have a full exam. He was completely unconscious. The doctor did a great job. He is showing progressive signs of recovery but we need a full exam which is being done. We hope for his wellbeing as a person first."

[Randall 315]

Great news about Drog! The ground is probably more hurt from him falling into it. BEAST!

[dodojojo 510]

While that may be true, Lukaku's superior and intelligent movement and link up play over his competition can never be questioned. The difference was as clear as daylight.

Because of the one man advantage? That's clear as daylight too.

hope drog is fine and nothin comes up now.

What the fuck is wrong with some of the fucking people on this planet!? People on twitter laughing and taking the piss out of Drog. I know people don't want to see their rivals do well but anyone who wishes or revels in that kind of thing happening to another human being is a sick cunt. Sometimes I think people need to learn where to draw the line with football.

[Madmax 9,219]

More of the same again. 3 points is well and good but this squad and it's certain members badly needs a kick up the backside.

[YVT 15]

I think Anelka was good also...next game we should start with Mata-Torres-Anelka up front

Make that Mata-Lukaku-Anelka. Torres played poor today, with a lack of energie.

i think lukaku was good in positional play n was good off the ball. but when he god the ball he seemed a little slow in decision making. just needs time

What have you made of the manager and his performance so far?

You should see some of the people in let's laugh at arsenal thread laughing when an Arsenal player gets injured.

That's why i don't laugh at nobody from any team that gets injured. It's bad!

Mata impressed alot in the time he spent on the pitch. Good Crosses, crisp passing, clever runs and clever passes. There was freshness and alot of movement once Mata came in. I cant wait to see the same with Sturridge on the right. The midfield still has a gaping hole for creativity. Apart from Ramirez, the other two are slow. And you need a bit more dynamism in your engine and we lack that.

What a run by Ramirez, he should be an olympian!! The moment Anelka played it to him, I knew he would beat the last defender but he still had a heavy touch and only he could have won the penalty there.

4-3-3 is the way to go. 4-4-2 Diamond is dire specially with Malouda, Lampard in the Diamond.

Credit to Norwich. They were very good. They beat the offside trap time and again on our right hand side. Even after being reduced to 10 men, they had two forwards up the field and they did scare us.

MoM: Ramirez

Good: Ramirez is a Top Top Player, What a Buy!!, Bosingwa looks to be back to his best and seems the player he was under Scolari. Mata looks Superb. Anelka looked lively. And Lukaku looked rusty. But he will improve.

Bad: Drogba, Looks Dire, Absolutely Dire!! Alot of heavy touches, misplaced passing and that Free Kick was horrndous. Torres unfortunately had no supplies again. All the passes were going to Drogba and Drogba was misplacing them. Feel for Torres as he has to play in this shit team. Lampard apart from the penalty was ok. Nothing Special but that isnt enough if we are aiming for Champions League.

Ugly: Hilario What were you thinking going for that Cross. Thats the Defender's Zone not GoalKeepers.

[warnie_666 1,081]

This is actually off-topic

Judging by today's game, out of Torres, Drogba, Anelka, malouda, kalou and sturridge

Malouda and Kalou are not goin to be playing for CFC very soon! (I hope!)

Last Week he was the Hero. Now the Villain. Next Week if he Scores you will replace his name with Anelka's

[dave30 728]

our best team at the mo in my opinion
