The Big Drog 1,110 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I understand that we don't want to rush Lukaku and that he isn't the finished article yet but surely he could play a few games in the absences of Didier Drogba and Fernando Torres. Given the price we paid for him, I don't think Im expecting to much for him to be trusted to play a few games, I don't think it is unreasonable.

ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 you high? you think AVB is doing it out of spite to prove a point to Roman? the point was well taken by him which is why he sacked Carlo and brought in a young AVB. That is the most ridiculous definition to a transition I've seen, sorry, "we are playing old players to prove a point". i aint been high in months but anyway,Im not saying out of spite to prove a point! Im saying that AVB has had funds in the summer but has stuck with the majority of the squad POSSIBLY to show Roman that they are in desperate need of renewal but likely to see for himself what he has at his disposal, hence this is still a major step to transition. And if Roman realised that we needed to change things when he sacked Carlo then im afraid he was about 3 seasons behind the rest of us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badboy 1,526 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I think people are not optimistic because lets face it this is probably the worst Chelsea side since Roman took over. Rami ain't going to be there and it's just heartbreaking because AVB will be blamed for this. I don't think we're going to win tomorrow, I really hope we do but I cant see it. We'll probably get a draw !I think people are not optimistic because lets face it this is probably the worst Chelsea side since Roman took over.

Blue Armour 4,439 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 We didn't expect an equalizer, that is the concern. It's nice that it came, but we can't live off of flukes all season.That's my point Manpe,... thing is with the spine of the team absent, that's the best thing that we can hope for in such matches...In Terry, Lampard and Drogba you basically have the spine of the squad from 2007 till now. Till now, I haven't seen even one player that has joined us go on to become part of that. We've made good, talented additions to the squad, but none of them are any more than accessories.You would expect old heads like Cole,Torres and Malouda to give some direction and impetus to the team but they just can't.They're not the kind of player which Mourinho said: "can go on forever"., because none of them have the mindset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No i said the transition period is clear. The possible was the " / " between proving to roman and seeing what he had at his disposal..it was speculative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty18 15 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Much improved second half compared to how badly we were outplayed in the first. I think a draw at a team on the rise, who play brilliant football, with a solid work ethic, and a great support is a good result, but hey, i'm an optimist.Agreed, Don't think its that bad of a result given the fact that they have only been beaten once at home all season. Arsenal lost and Spurs drew there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kez 2,727 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Oh the irony that a Chelsea youth product who failed to make it here scores against us Fair play to Scott for not celebrating though. Didn't see the games just watched the highlights & that was enough to make me wanna slit my wrists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carefreeluke 27 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Why the fuck Cahill wasn't playing I don't know. Bosingwa has been awful all season, AVB will probably play him against United as well as he got the equaliser. It would be absolutely shocking if Bertand doesn't play on Sunday, I wouldn't be surprised at all if Bos or Paulo play instead. In fact, I wouldn't even be surprised if Malouda was put at left back over Bertand. Bos, Paulo, Malouda, Drogba all need to go in the summer. It's been like this for a while now but youngsters do not get the chance, Bos, Paulo, Malouda and Drogba will probably be here in five years time. I keep saying this but Meireles is nothing but a good squad player, he's got to be one of the players who's played most this season. We miss Lampard's goals and ability to create something out of nothing.We need a new shape. I'm definitely willing to stick by AVB, I have faith in him but we have been very poor at times this season. Sinclair mate you should have been given your chance at Chelsea, in a weird way I'm glad he scored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naked Mole Rat 437 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Only watched a little portion of the match (laggy stream, missed both goals) and not planning to watch the rest, but I find it quite funny Bosingwa's getting a stick when he got the equalizer, though I saw the highlight and it was a shit goal and I read Bosingwa's error led to the Sinclair goal (what a great goal, too). But was he really that terrible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francozola 2,040 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 ^ In my opinion he wasn't as bad as the others. His crossing is still atrocious but I support a player that tries & gets things wrong more than players that don't give a fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chels 238 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Haha you say that like hes been here for years. hes been here for 6 months. Im sick of fans wanting stability and as soon as a manager makes a few mistakes they start to suggest he should be sacked soon. dont know why you want jose hes a selfish prick who gets bored too easily. I say we give AVB at least 3 years and if we still havent improved then maybe think about a new manager. People are way too impatientCalm down mate,I didn't state I wanted stability, we've won more trophies in the last 6 years bar united not having stability with the same manager.Not being impatient, but come on a few mistakes, I have yet to see him make a good sub lol, joking.And with the Jose thing I agree he is a selfish prick I'm just having a panic moment mate.

magicrico 175 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 After lasts nights game, I woke up this morning and feel no different. We don't work the keeper, we have no idea about passing and we can't score goals. We have a manager who says he "didn't wanna upset the dynamic of te defence" but terry was out so surely that did upset the dynamic? We play so poor week in week out it's a joke. Don't expect us to beat utd. They will win easily. Big team coming to the bridge is a banker these days. IMHO we won't get top 4 either. And that will be due mostly to not having a striker who can finish and a team who can pass. This will have a knock on effect in money coming into the club and transfers. This season has been the worst since roman joined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
