Chelsea 1-1 Fulham

[Tomo 21,681]

Jimmy Greaves. 124 goals in 157 appearances for chelsea. We could've used him on the pitch today!

Best forward to grace English football and we produced him.

Why couldn't we keep him? ( it's probally only his Spurs career that stops him getting regarded higher than Osgood and Zola. Legend never the less however.

He was also a product of our academy and went on to be, in what's debated, England's greatest striker.

Shame he left us for Milan when he was only 21.

I still maintain, we have bragging rights

Very poor performance.

Fulham's tactics were spot on, they stopped Mata and Sturridge getting into the game.

We get the goal and why we do sit back? It cost us against Wigan, so we do it again? Why bring Paulo on when you need a goal? Torres should have came off much earlier as well, it was a game for Drogba. We needed someone with more physical presence and someone who would hold the ball up.

We were limited to crosses into the box most of the game especially on the right hand side, just a shame Bos can't cross for his life. We didn't make the most of these opportunities, we needed more men in the box and more width to make the most of the possession we had in wide areas.

Should have switched to 4-4-2, Sturridge going in the middle with Drogba, Kalou on the right and Malouda on the left, with Mata going wherever he wants. A decent cross and more movement and players in the box could have won us this game, also not sitting back after we scored and completely switching off would have won us the game as well. AVB has gone from playing entertaining football, to sitting on a one nil lead, I agreed with it at Wigan but not today.

Class goal by Mata but Terry was the only player who played well which is not good enough.

Just about the last thing Fernando Torres needed on Monday was a half‑time appearance by Jimmy Greaves, a rare visitor to the home of the club for whom, between the ages of 17 and 21, he scored 124 goals in 157 league matches. Now a portly 71-year-old, the immortal Greavsie received an ovation from all quarters of the ground, not least from the visiting Fulham fans clustered in the old Shed End. Poor Torres once again toiled without reward, the £50m striker failing to add to the three Premier League goals scored since his arrival 11 months and 26 appearances ago.

Sad, but true.

[carefreeluke 27]

We miss Ramires as well.

And people were criticising him when he first came, now he's easily one of our most important players.

[manpe 10,855]

I fell asleep during 2nd half, but managed to see the goals and some parts of the game... but by the looks of it, it seems I didn't miss much.

I HATE avb. for fucks sake how useless can one manager be? Seriously fucking MALOUDA for Lampard?

Malouda has been good today. He brought more to the team than Lampard, that was a good sub.
