Closed Chelsea 3-0 Bolton

[Justin_3d 1,140]

A mediocre win is better than losing.

Go and spout your crap elsewhere.

A mediocre win leads to more losses.

So until I see a sustain game where there is better build up play, I won't get excited with this team!

Essien had a much better game that I thought he could. We mostly dominated tha game despite having a midfield would normally appear too negative or mechanical .

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

Very happy that we managed to score more than one goal today.I was delighted to Raul on the bench for the whole game and I think Essien Ramires Lampard is our best midfield.Drogba was brilliant today,I admired his determination and focus.The whole team played well today and glad to see Lampard smiling again.Happy with the win but we shouldn't get carried away because we beat Bolton and not a Napoli kind of team.

[Peace. 4,352]

Agreed on both accounts. For once we perform decently, and the fans only sing Torres' name and boo our own players because they wouldn't pass to Torres.

For real ?? (I didn't hear)

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Indeed Jaimin, Luiz was brilliant, deserved to get the breakthrough.

Good win, we dominated the game, perhaps we should've taken our chances earlier but most did say they'd settle for an ugly 1-0. Must use this as momentum to carry on, with West Brom & Birmingham next we have to carry on.

I fear Mata's going to be burned out though, André's done well to keep him fresh by taking him off early in some games (much to our disgruntlement).

Lampard's still not convincing me either, he's really slow to react with the ball and get it out of his feet. Might sound like a 'hater' here, but he's just not doing enough to warrant a place in that side..

Im also glad Roman was there to see it in person, I hope he has the patience to stick with AVB. This was always going to be a difficult season, lets get it out oft he way, get new players in that suit AVB's vision and lets push forward from there.

Too right, was about to post this myself.

[Mr. Ziggles 110]

- A striker who scores

- A cleansheet

- No stupid defensive mistake

Wow.

can the real chelsea stand up

[Justin_3d 1,140]

Did you even watch the game? :moaning:

Of course and it was another sorry ass display by the team.

Had to get something from a defender to get the team going.

That is not good, and it won't work when face with more organized and tougher opponents.

A mediocre win leads to more wins you bimbo. It gives you some more confidence, relief, less pressure.

Better build up play? Watch the game again, then come back Little Jimmy.

Meireles is ?

Has his long-range passing always been that good? Perhaps it's because we haven't seen much of him in a while but I was very impressed by some of the service he was playing to the front 3 and Lampard.

[francozola 2,040]

Better performance. Let's not forget that Bolton were shambolic at times. But a more spirited display for sure

I take back what i said about Drogba before the match. He was really good and played with a lot of energy.

Great goal by Luiz. Love the guy. Good header by Drogs as well. Lamps with a good finish.

Can't wait for the newspaper headlines tomorrow: "LAMPARD SAVES AVB'S JOB" blah blah lol he was completely average and yet despite scoring a goal - a good one - he will somehow be viewed as a saviour of this team.

An improved performance but not getting carried away.

[Wavy Crockett 190]

David Luiz MOTM although no one had a blinder by any means today, which means everyone did more or less okay and we performed better as a team (albeit against an underachieving Bolton side)

nice with a win, good result. I don't dare to believe in any continuity but one can always hope..

[Justin_3d 1,140]

Shut your mouth, we won the game concentrate on that instead of being such an idiot !

And my concentration is that we won because the other team was worse then us.

Nothing good about that.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Brilliant cross by Mata for the 3rd goal.

And Cahill has been a very good signing so far for me.
