Midfielders are not upto speed

I wonder if Torres has been dropped because of what he said. He's spoken the truth but maybe AVB didn't take kindly to him doing so in public.

Now you know why Malouda didnt pass to Torres towards the end.

He's right in that he's not getting the support he needs, but THAT'S NO EXCUSE FOR BLASTING ONE 30M WIDE OF GOAL FROM 30M OUT ON A BREAKAWAY.

On a more serious note, though, he really needs to work harder himself rather than expect his teammates to give him full support, because part of his job as the centre forward is to keep moving so he won't get isolated. Last time he faced us in that shameful red, he didn't need perfect passes to score two.

Agreed much more pace, the counter attacking looked more interesting, but our counter attack kept getting broke up, just one of those days, but i'm still impressed with the effort. I just wish the likes of Malouda never came on and Mata gone off, i know it was for the best because of Mata's energy and his international matches, but i would of liked to said today was a different Chelsea, and a better Chelsea, however i can't say it because after sometime subs came on and it went back to the Chelsea we've been for most of last season and some of this season.
