[AfricanBlue 104]

I was so happy to see Rami walk in that last goal, the way things were going tonight I expected a piano to fall out the sky and stop the shot.

What a game it was...

[TorontoChelsea 4,064]

Amazing win. We were obviously a better class, but we played much of the game with most of our starters so should have won. I think we'll need to sit some players on Saturday. Worried about lack of depth on our squad. Still not sure why we sold Meireles. Romeu was terrible. Sturridge was this mix of tremendous and awful. He kept getting himself into great positions, he set up Moses a few times with great passes, but he still made some baffling decisions and seemed nervous at the outset. Still, you can't start someone once a year and judge their abilities on that one performance. Awareness comes with playing time. Moses was our best player in the first half and I thought this was Oscar's best game in a while too.. Our attack in the second half of the match was just fantastic. Luiz is having a really poor patch.

[Hutcho 8,443]

Anyone want to do some reading. Go to the manure cafe and get to the point when we get the penalty... Some nice reactions...

[neel 257]

exceptional attacking display , simply mindblowing. Honestly score card simply does not reflect the class of our attack.

[zolayes 14,489]

We knew we had our 3 magicians , ...Now we have Moses ,,,,I would even have him leading the line

[Spike 12,049]

Good job. A few points to take away though:

1. Sturrdige is a bit worrying at CF. He eased into the role later on but at the start he was plain terrible.

2. Azpilicueta is a bloody brilliant Fullback. I'd have him starting over Ivanovic.

3. Romeu looked uncomfortable out there. I'm guessing due to a lack of minutes.

4. Moses is the only winger on the team. Everthing flows better with him giving width.

5. Luiz has the tools just not the knowledge. When everything is going right he is a brilliant CB but when things are looking down he gets frustrated and is very prone to commit stupid actions.

6. Piazon needs minutes just not against teams like Manchester United however it very good that RDM puts so much stock in him.

7. Gazza knows how to find the net.

8. Oscar has a bit of agression.

9. Mata has the makings of a solid leader as shown during the Olympics.

10. Hazard. That is all.
