Closed West Brom 2-1 Chelsea

[Sheva. 5,373]

Luiz and Torres need some serious benching. Luiz didn't really play badly, but he still cost us a goal as usual.

And Torres should just go join Malouda in the reserves.

[Ankit 3,176]

Fair to say Cahill-Luiz were Shane Long's bitches. Finally felt what opposition's fans must have felt when Drogba led our line.

(Just so that i am clear , in no way am i comparing Shane Long to Drogba)

[Laylabelle 9,398]

Defintly miss JT a lot!!Gone from not really noticing he was gone as we were fine to eeeek hurry back!!!

Torres needs benching..however as seen in previous times..doesnt tend to go down well...hopfully it can be a decison RDM can make rather then the powers above getting pissed off....

[Sheva. 5,373]

I'm glad I missed the game.

Anything promising during the 90 minutes? Azpi, Moses...anything?

I thought we played well, had more possession and twice the amount of chances they had. But Sturridge alone missed like 4 for whatever reason, i hope he does better next time out.

Azpi was good, set up Hazard's goal.

[Azpinator 2,325]

Again, RDM MUST GIVE THE GERMAN A CHANCE FFS!!

And did Cech have more goal attempts than Torres? I think so.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

I'm glad I missed the game.

Moses actually looked Brilliant for the most part.

Azpilicueta is good enough to where Ivanovic can safely spend most of his time as a CB now.

Mata was brilliant.

Sturridge's movement was great, his passing and link-up play was good (but his finishing was very poor).

Cech almost scored a scissor kick haha.

Torres did what no man has ever done in the history of mankind. He disappeared into thin air, quite an achievement (but sadly I'll think he's back already).

That's it.

[klopfzeichen 78]

I'm afraid of the Man Shity game now.

[TorontoChelsea 4,064]

Some coments are so stupid that I am expecting something like this: "Cech should have scored when he had that chance, useless. Buy another GK!"

It's ridiculous. I think people expect strikers to score on every decent chance they get. Even the best strikers in the world don't come close to that. Everybody misses chances. Sturridge was great today. He wasn't particularly wasteful either. He forced a couple of very good saves and he really only should have done better on the last chance of the game, but that happens. We had a lot of shots today, but they were almost all poor quality opportunities. The team is heavily imbalanced and lacks any depth. We all want rotation, but we don't have good enough players to rotate. You can't blame RDM for this. What was he supposed to do? Play Mata every single game? The Manchester clubs can have a plan B because they have the players for it. We don't.

[Muzchap 8,966]

Yeah frustrated Marin had NO game time!!!

RDM needs to sort that shit out - in Pre-Season MARIN was fucking AWESOME! Yes he had injury, but he's played RESERVE games, give him a fucking chance - he's the kind of player that can nick a goal during a game...

We have good players - but don't rotate them enough, then when they are needed they are out of form... For me that's a big tactical failing....

I know I said PEP earlier, but DO WANT RDM to succeed - he just needs to DO MORE during a game and in Squad Management...

[Stingray 9,441]

Well. That was utter crap. Even from Hazard. So little conviction and determination. I seriously doubt RDM can turnthis around. I love him, but can't see him 'shock the team back to life'. Let's just hope or even pray for the best. .

[Milan 17,865]

Any highlights? Or just goals?

[Laylabelle 9,398]

The only thing that seems to shock the team back to life usually is a new manager...then they play well..go through crap and bam new manager..play well...play crap and bam bam bam bam

[Muzchap 8,966]

Yup we need to stop that - as much as I dislike him SAF can get UTD sorted - WE need a Manager to do that.

It's there for RDM to step-up and do it - just hope he can....

[klopfzeichen 78]

Why oh why didn't we went for Berbatov.

[Danelka 209]

In the whole season, our attacking seems to be so random. It's like we have no plan, just hoping the 3 people behind the striker pulls out something. I haven't really seen any kind of passing/movement/whatever of which I can say: "Wow, they must have practised this at training."

[kellzfresh 7,229]

I've calmed down.

Torres is shit, doesn't make runs. He must be fuckin RDM in the ass if he starts juventus game.

2nd worst player, luiz.

The first goal instead of man marking his man, he let's him go and still misses the flight of the ball. Clearly our worst defender.

Hazard scored but was average.

Oscar was adapting to the pivot.

Moses was good.

Azpi was our best player along with mata.

Sturridge runs >> torres

Sturridge determination>> torres

Sturridge pace >> torres

Sturridge presence>> torres

Sturridge confidence>> torres

Needs to start more games to rediscover his bolton finishing form.

We are slipping away from the premier league challenge.

[Las7 951]

LOL at the people who were saying if Sturridge had as much chances as Torres he would score more. He had 4+ good chances and couldn't do anything. The guy is shite. Having said I'd prefer him over Torres who is just a fucking joke of a footballer.

I don't think anyone meant he is more clinical than Torres - just more likely to create goal scoring chances with him in the line up
