Not learned much from that performance other than our timid line-up may have proven costly in the race for fourth. What it does show is that our back-up players are still not good enough and I hope tonight has served as a welcome reminder to Roman that we still need investment this summer. A morale boost can only improve the team so far - without an influx of quality in the transfer market we'll be back to square one... again.

The performance lacked intent and incisiveness going forward, which hasn't been the case recently. That said, I don't think I've ever seen two goals (from the same man!) that are so deserving to win a football match. Papiss Cissé is the signing of the season, and I really hope that - should we fail to win in Munich - Newcastle pip Spurs to that final Champions League spot. We could take a leaf out of their [scouting] book - adept signings all across the board. It also goes to prove how influential January signings can be.

We can't complain too much, though. We're all aware that our squad, as a whole, is less than adequate and needs changes in the close season. We're still in two cup finals and can finish the season on a massive high. Onwards and upwards.

That goal is the best goal of the year in any league.

Bosingwa can foad as far as I'm concerned.

Sturridge is a piss poor player.

Malouda is wank.

Ramires was very poor.

We need creativity and real wingers.

I'm not really bothered with this result if I'm honest. Just beat Liverscum please.

Cisse is better than RVP.

This whole notion of us winning every important game from now till the end is stupid. We have played a shit load of games in a tight amount of time. The laws of averages say that we most probably will lose, I'm just glad that its happened in a game to qualify for a competition that I hope and generally believe we will win and qualify for anyway GET MY POINT ?

Ya I get it, hopefully this loss makes winning in Munich that much more important.

We're setting ourselves up for an EPIC last game of the football year! Win and you win AND you're in!

How does Bertrand have that man votes for MOTM? I thought he was quite timid getting forward and when he did get forward he was no where near the touchline. He wasn't awful, but certainly not that good. I thought we were really poor. No sense of urgency, I felt. Didn't look dangerous and didn't really threaten goal. Look lost without Mata in the side, really showed our lack of depth. 5s and 6s all round. Thought Mikel was the best of the bunch though.

Makes the CL final so interesting though. Huge match. Last run for the old guard, and a way to top of their Chelsea careers together, and the start of the next 3-4 years (it's much easier to attract talent if you're in the CL). All to play for, lose and get nothing.

As for MOTM... lol... only Torres seemed to put any real effort in. Disjointed today, I think RdM changed it too much in all honesty. Definitely the right idea to change the team ahead of Saturday, however an all-new midfield was a little over-the-top in my humble opinion.

True. In the first half Malouda was the sole outlet for creativity. He probably thought Meireles would link up well with Torres, but Raul didn't really turn up today.

Type of conditions our players normally excel in. More of the same please ;)

I think the question you need to ask is who was more deserving? I don't know if we had a MotM today for the record I gave it to Bosingwa

Bertrand has MOTM votes simply because he gets the sympathetic youngster who is just learning still vote. Everyone was shit tho, Torres looked lively but never looked like scoring but seriously those players just could not be arsed to go out there. Now we will most likely keep Blackburn up too on the final day because we'll rest the WHOOOLE TEEAM! Rest for munich, love it :-)
