Napoli 3-1 Chelsea

[Kieran. 6,317]

At least we didn't lose 4-0.

I dont understand why Bosingwa is getting so much hate. YES he is a shit footballer, but Cole has been just as bad as him this season. It just gets overlooked because it's easier to blame the brainless Portuguese for everything.

And apart from that goal line clearance (which was superb), cole was a complete liability tonight.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

The thing that frustrates me is that Napoli's defense is actually worse than ours, but unlike us they managed to take advantage of their chances.

[capriccioso 2,545]

Sacking Villas-Boas at this point would achieve nothing. Not even José Mourinho could achieve anything with this squad. Get rid of the players.

Now we see why AVB was reluctant to play Cahill

explain to me why that is cause he couldn't be blamed for any of the goals and didn't do much wrong elsewhere. Honestly think people in here NEED to have someone to blame after a bad result.

That's the spirit mate.

The only one who lived-up to the expectations for us tonight was Eva.

we saw today what a good winger can bring to the table

AVB keeps making ridiculous subs... didn't want to play Cole (he had to play him due to Bosingwa's injury), Lampard and Essien as starters, but in the end all of them were playing... what really did hurt us were individual mistakes and lack of heart. I'm still optimistic but after this performance I don't know if there's any real reason I should be.

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

We're ridiculous at the moment.

It's obvious that AVB cannot wake the up, I reckon there are managers who would do better with this group of players, but not much better.

Excellent point. Danny really disapointed me today, I was expecting (maybe unrightly so) much more from him on the wing. But even more desperately we need a clinical striker. If we had a player like Van Persie ( or even Daren Bent dare I say) we would've gotten something out of this match. We had at least a dozen chances that were begging for a proper finish.

Blame the manager , Blame the defense or Blame the forwards all you want but today we lost the game in midfield , Ramires and Miereles are the poorest starting midfield in any semi-big club , they costed us possesion in some criritical situations , Miereles was at fault for 1st goal , they didn't support their defense or protect the back four , they didn't add anything offensively , kept us always under-pressure and they just keep running like headless chicken.

I am sure the scene of Ramires running past players is great to watch but we can't keep starting a midfielder just because who has pace , which is surprisengly not essential for midfielders , his possessioning is abysmal and his tactically a liability , his passing was as usual woeful .

The major problem is unfortunately they are the better than lamps , Mikel and may be Romeu and Essien , Hopefully we are gonna change the all 3 starting midfielders next year with the exception of may be Romeu or Ramires.

Lose the midfield battle and you will lose games , that is why we keep losing and AVB can do nothing about it , all six of our midfielders can't fuckin pass the ball which is the basic skill of any midfielder not to speak about vision and creativity.

And a good striker.

[Shane 2,275]

How in gods name is this AVB's fault? His tactics were spot on, and if we had players that could finish we'd be celebrating a famous win.

We need a young, hungry striker in the summer, Send Torres out on loan back to Spain and see how he fares out there.

I heard cole was around 90 % and other that one save, he actually played poorly

Essien and Lampard are slow player and Napoli played fast, we will be even worse defensively with those two in midfield.

Our major problem was actually is creating chances, the only player who can do that is mata and maybe iva.

[Fernando 6,464]

Bad day at the office.

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

It Was Clear from the beginning that Meireles can't be a good solution to our problem (lack of creativity)....
